If Dr. Jules Payot's previous book, "Education of the Will," has been popular enough to pass through thirty editions and has been translated into numerous foreign languages, how great a measure of good may be expected for his new book

Will Power and Work

Dr. Payot is president of a great French university, a world-famous philosopher and an inspiring writer. His advice in this book will help you solve many of life's problems and surprisingly broaden your mental horizon. He tells you the wonderful secret of controlling your will, how to gain the inestimably precious power of concentration and he describes how the memory can be educated to respond when called upon for storedup facts. Read and digest this book and work becomes a pleasure, pleasure becomes more enjoyable, and the world seems brighter.

"The book is stimulating," declares the Syracuse Herald. "It has the effect of raising the reader to his possibilities and inspiring him with the desire to practise some of the suggestions Dr. Payot makes." "The book should certainly increase mental effciency," says the Detroit Free Press, "and help in the theory and practise of self-culture."

"The book abounds in sound common-sense and is filled with good illustrations which enforce the principles and methods espoused by the writer. For those who have grown stale at their task Will Power and Work' will bring new stimulus and inspiration."Zion's Herald, Boston.

Saturate yourself with the philosophy of this great little book and the work you are doing will add materially to your happiness as well as your income. 12mo. Cloth. $1.75, net; postpaid, $1.87 FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY, 354-360 Fourth Ave. New York, N. Y.

"When Knights Were Bold"

If you lingered over the thrilling romances and the other colorature travel tales told by Sir Frederick Treves, Bart., in "The Riviera of the Corniche Road' and his other books, you will enjoy his latest-just from the press

The Lake of Geneva

with its quaint and curious personalitiessome famous, some quite infamous--and the strange adventures that made history and gossip centuries ago in the picturesque towns clustering close to the Lake. You will learn the interesting story of Bonivard, the prisoner of Chillon, and his wives-quite different from the Bonivard immortalized by Byron; about the daring of the pretty and pert Lady Bonne of Crassier, the love story of Meillerie, the legends of Rippaille, the escapades of Madame de Warens who was a wife when fourteen, the tragedy of Beauregard, the startling experience of Marie de Blonay with angels at Evian, about the Geneva of Calvin, of Voltaire, of Madame de Staël, which the Savoyards tried to seize one night-a story the Genevans still proudly tell to tourists.

Sir Frederick has fully maintained his reputation as a fascinating descriptive writer in this book. Contains 360 pages, besides 76 pages of (100) photographic illustrations. Map supplement.

WHAT EVERY PEACE OFFICER SHOULD KNOW

The rigid instruction a man has to receive before he can be appointed on New York State's splendid police force is minutely-and impressively-told in a new book-just from the press-titled

THE POLICEMAN'S ART

As taught in the New York State School
for Police by George F. Chandler,
Superintendent New York State Police.

It describes not only how criminals are tracked and crimes are unraveled, but as to matters affecting public health and morals. What to do in accidents or deaths. Dying confessions. Making arrests. How private persons can make arrests. Differences in warrants and when some cannot be served. What constitutes evidence? Court proceedings. Rights of prisoners. Finger printing. Extradition. Traffic and parking. The four classes of society. It's all so absorbingly interesting! And it concludes with a detailed explanation of felonies and misdemeanors, by Lieutenant Inspector Albert B. Moore.

Says Lynn G. Adams, Superintendent Pennsylvania State Police: "I have reviewed this book and consider it one of the best that has ever been written on the subject."

By far

the greatest single unit of farm buying power

Every month The Farm Journal is received by 1,150,000 good American farm families on every rural route in every state of the Union.

No greater demonstration of interest, friendship and loyalty has ever been given a farm paper.

For The Farm Journal has succeeded in being not only a farm paper but a farm family paper. It is read and liked - yes, and loved-by all the family. And this unusual confidence is given not only the editorial material but the advertising pages as well.

For 46 years, the spirit of fair play and practical helpfulness in the solution of every farming problem has builded a magnificent reader responsiveness.

That responsiveness makes The Farm Journal's 1,150,000 families the greatest single unit of farm buying power in the world.

Together, farming and The Farm Journal have grown in prosperity-and advanced in standards. Today the great body of farmers are buying all modern conveniences, improvements and laborsaving equipment for both the farm and the home. And with like progressiveness, the farmer and his family are buying merchandise for purely personal pleasure and comfort.

For 1/4 of one cent each you can send a full
page message into 1,150,000 of the best farm
homes in the country. This is the most eco-
nomical appeal that can be made to the American
Farmer.

Our Research Department has made separate market investigations on over 60 commod-
ities. Ask for specific data on the market for your product. More detailed information
