Text Appearing Before Image:


Though the photographs I have pre
sented in the last issue and a few of
which I am publishing with this article,
show physical proportions that might be
termed surprising in an average man, I
am none the less convinced that these
photographs do not by any means give
us accurate views of the average man.
In physical vigor and general health
these men are far above the average.
The additional photographs that I am
presenting in this number show more

than usual symmetry and should really
encourage the average young man to
strive for more physical power and
beauty. Many young men who now
possess what might be termed the
ordinary physique could be devoting a
comparatively small part of the time
each day to developing their muscular
system, soon develop a physique of which
they could be proud, and a well devel-
oped body does not mean merely strung
muscles. You must remember that it
means a better brain, clearer blood, a
stronger stomach. It means that not
only the functional processes of the body
will be performed more satisfactorily
but your brain will be clearer as well.

Text Appearing After Image:

Another view of John Mousse, that shows
symmetrical proportions and more than aver-
age strength.
Three Years in Hell
DETAILS OF THREE YEARS EXPERIENCE
IN THE RHODE ISLAND PENITENTIARY

By Prof. Charles James Budlong

Our usual method of punishing those who happen to be caught breaking our laws is mon-
strous. It can be fittingly described by no other word. Our jails and prisons are in most cases
nothing more or less than schools for crime. If a man thoughtlessly commits a small offense,
and is cast into one of these prisons, the influence of practically every association is of the
lowest and the vilest character. He may have been a comparatively decent person, with even
high ideals and superior motives, but unless he possesses a strong will, the degenerating process
with which he comes in contact within our prisons brings out and develops his lowest char-
acteristics, and at the end of his sentence he is really and truly a criminal by instinct and by
nature. Read the description that the professor has given of his experiences.
