Striving for the Goal of Health

S

T R I V I N G for freedom from nervous weakness, for freedom from poor digestion and assimilation—health seekers eagerly grasp the helping hand of SanatogenThey have heard of the lasting benefits conferred by this famous food-tonic—they have watched the wonderful effect it has had upon their friends—how it has increased their vigor, strengthened their nerves, their digestion, how it has made them brighter, more buoyant, happier. And so they are full of confidence in Sanatogen's power to regenerate, to infuse new life and vigor into body and nerves. Nor are they ever likely to be disappointed, for Sanatogen is no mere phantom. It is an element devised expressly to satisfy the demands of starved tissues and cells, a preparation created after close study of the real needs of the overwrought nervous system. And there never was a preparation with so splendid a record of achievement. Leading medical authorities have openly proclaimed its extraordinary virtues—thousands of doctors every day see evidence of its remarkable efficiency. About 15,000 physicians have filed their approving opinions with the owners of Sanatogen. These opinions are but accentuated by the enthusiastic reports of patients themselves. Men and women in the forefront of human endeavor, statesmen, prelates, authors, lawyers, have written of the wonderful, lasting benefits received from Sanatogen.

RANSON, the "^^ author, in bo)'"hood knew General Lee, and later was attached to his staff.

The First Americans T7LLSW0RTH HUNTINGTON, of the Department of Geography of Yale University, writes of his discovery of the home of an ancient people who may definitely be considered to have been the first Americans. Mr. HUNTINGTON found the ruins ôf their dwellings in Arizona, and presents with great clearness and interest his reasons for believing that this long-vanished race were the first inhabitants of our country.

Increased Efficiency in Business Through Scientific Management '"TO secure the greatest efficiency with the least waste of effort is the secret of industrial success. Interesting advances are being made along these lines to-day. WILLIAM DANA ORCUTT tells of the remarkable results that are being accomplished in this direction through scientific management, how it increases efficiency, decreases -waste, and results -in a material advantage to both employer and employee.

Baltimore, the City of Homes TDROBABLY a larger percentage of the population of Baltimore live in houses and fewer in flats and tenements than in any other large American city. It is preeminently a city of homes, and, incidentally, one of the most dignified and aristocratic of American cities. HARRISON RHODES writes of the city and its people. His article is accompanied by etchings by C. H. White and drawings by Vernon Howe Bailey.

In the Orkney Islands T7EW travellers of to-day visit that interesting group of islands known as The Orkneys and lying to the north of Scotland.

What Others Say of

H A RPER'S MAGAZINE Editorial in Baltimore Star: " I n the midst of the motley monthlies of such sterling worth, ripe interest, and the best of the magazines. All of the commended as safe, sane, and desirable

it is a true delight to turn to a publication mental tonic as HARPER'S. It is generally HARPER publications can be unreservedly reading for the home and family."

Sage in the Cleveland Leader writes : " H A R P E R ' S is edited with an intelligence that seeks goods that wear, just as a prudent housewife picks a black silk gown; it lasts and lasts and lasts. And always with instruction and entertainment. I'm sorry for the lads and lassies that haven't had the influence of a good magazine in their lives, and I'm sorriest for those that hâve never known HARPER'S. It isn't a fiction magazine alone. It stands firmly on the basic idea of soundness. It keeps in touch with science in all its branches and deals with it authoritatively, but in terms of common understanding. When a big new idea comes up, I'm sure to get the best explanation of it from the pages of my old friend."

The Boston Transcript says: " T o o much cannot be said of HARPER'S MAGAZINE. It is difficult to speak of it in enthusiastic terms without passing the bounds of self-restraint. The reader who holds it in his hand for the first time, however, will realize the difficulty of doing the MAGAZINE justice. The fiction varies greatly in scene and motive, but is unvaried in excellence."

The Hartford Courant says : " N o other country in the world can show a periodical publication approaching HARPER'S MAGAZINE in high excellence in so many different directions."'

A Professor in the University of Chicago writes : " Y o u may be interested to learn that at a dinner last week where I was the conversation turned upon the magazines, and one of the gentlemen, whom I have long admired for the breadth of his intelligence and keen literary appreciation, remarked that he thought HARPER'S MAGAZINE within the last year had become the most stimulating and interesting magazine in America. I confess to the same opinion."

The Philadelphia Public Ledger says : " T h e influence which the HARPER PERIODICALS have exercised in every channel of improving thought and achievement can be scarcely measured; it has flowed continuously on, over vast areas, among millions of people, learned and unlearned, upon all of whom it has acted as an elevating, refining force. In many American homes these periodicals are the only library." BABPBR'B

HUNTING WITH THE ESKIMOS By Harry Whitney

•I Some Features of THE CENTURY MARTIN LUTHER .

Do you know that stern old monk whose rebellion against the Church of Rome changed the religious history of the world? Do you know "him as a man—a real, living, breathing, human man ? A critic says of the first instalment of Professor McGiffert's " Martin Luther and His Work " that " it impresses the reader with the intense humanness of the great Protestant reformer. He is here revealed in flesh and blood—something of a Lincoln in his homely primitiveness." This life will have new material in both picture and text. I t will be a notable addition to the notable series of CENTURY biographies.

ROBERT HICHENS The new novel by Robert Hichens, "The Dweller on the Threshold," grows more interesting with every instalment. The story is written around that strange influence which one human being sometimes exercises over another—an influence belonging to that other world which borders so closely our own, and whose phenomena are so little understood. The story will be complete in six instalments, of which the third appears in the present number.

TIMOTHY COLE For thirty years Timothy Cole has been reproducing on wood for T H E CENTURY the great paintings of the Italian, Flemish, Dutch, Spanish, and English masters. He has now returned to do for famous paintings in American galleries what he has already done for the European. Timothy Cole is unquestionably the greatest wood-engraver living—perhaps the greatest that ever lived. When he dies libraries, attics, and bookstalls will be searched for old copies of T H E CENTURY MAGAZINE to obtain the impressions of these engravings by Cole.

WILLIAM WINTER In the February CENTURY begins the series of articles by William Winter on "Shakspere on the Stage." Each article will be devoted to some great character—Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Henry VIII, Richard III, and Shylock—and the series will cover completely and interestingly the appearances of all the greatest actors of the stage in these different parts. The article on Hamlet, which will be printed in the February CENTURY, will contain illustrations of many of the great Hamlets of the world, including Kemble, Garrick, Charles Keene, Edwin Forrest, Edwin Booth, and Mounet-Sully.

MEN WHO FLY No magazine has paid more attention to the subject of flying than has THE CENTURY. Some of the older readers will remember Edmund Clarence Stedman's article on "Aerial Navigation," printed in the February, 1879, number of this magazine, with its illustrations—which might almost stand for pictures of the dirigibles of to-day. For many years after 1879 little advance was made in flying, but within the last few years T H E CENTURY has printed many articles on the subject, and has kept abreast of the times. Do not miss " A Record Voyage in the Air," by Augustus Post, in the present number.

H E railroads and the Interstate Gommerce-GoiBmiss.K»i are making history^ ' T h e hearing on rates, now in prog-, ress, will doubtless continue for months. T h efindingsof.the Commission will constitute a piece of legislation—;we use the word advisedly—sure to mark an epoch in American commercial history.But the public has other interests in the railroads than lowering or raising of rates. It wants to know about their finances, their earnings, their attitude toward governmental regulation, the treatment of their employees, etc. In fact-the railroads are as . important an issue for .the.nation as the tariff and at least seem a great deal nearer home. Because it believes that this universal interest is sincere, and vital and that it demands the most authoritative information, T H E W O R L D T O - D A Y has arranged for a series of articles in which the most important matters at issue will be discussed by the heads of several of the great railway systems. T h e mileage represented by the railroads over which these gentlemen preside constitutes a large percentage of that of the entire country. T h e immensity of the interests represented and their importance to the public will make this one of the most notable series of articles ever published by any magazine. Among the contributors to this series are: M r . Darius Miller, President, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad; Mr. Frederic A. Delano, President, T h e Wabash Railroad; Mr. Benjamin L. Winchell, Presfdent, T h e St. Louis & San Francisco System and T h e Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad; Mr. William A. Gardner, President, T h e Chicago & North Western Railway, etc. Their views will be frankly set forth on such live subjects as— A r e t h e Railroads O v e r c a p i t a l i z e d ?
