HREE years ago I was earning $30 per

week. With a wife and two children to support it was a constant struggle to make both ends meet. We saved very little, and that only by sacrificing things we really needed. To-day my earnings average a thousand dollars weekly. I own two automobiles. My children go to private schools. I have just purchased, for cash, a $25,000 home. I go hunting, fishing, motoring, traveling, whenever I care to, and I do less work than ever before.

What I have done, anyone can do - for I am only an average man. I have never gone to college, my education is limited, and I am not "brilliant" by any means. I personally know at least a hundred men who are better business men than I, who are better educated, who are better informed on hundreds of subjects, and who have much better ideas than I ever had. Yet not one of them approaches my earnings. I mention this merely to show that earning capacity is not governed by the extent of a man's education and to convince my readers that there is only one reason for my success - a reason I will give herein.

One day, a few years ago, I began to "take stock" of myself. I found that, like most other men, I had energy, ambition, determination. Yet in spite of these assets, for some reason or other I drifted along without getting anywhere. My lack of education bothered me, and I had thought seriously of making further sacrifices in order to better equip myself to earn more. Then I read somewhere that but few millionaires ever went to college. Edison, Rockefeller, Hill, Schwab, Carnegie not one of them had any more schooling

than I had.

One day something happened that woke me up to what was wrong with me. It was necessary for me to make a decision on a matter which was of no great consequence. I knew in my heart what was the right thing to do, but something held me back. I said one thing, then another; I decided one way, then another. I could n't for the life of e make the decision I knew was right.

I lay awake most of that night thinking a the matter - not because it was of any portance in itself, but because I was be discover myself. Along towards dawn lto try an experiment. I decided to cult will power, believing that if I did this I hesitate about making decisions — that ▾ had an idea I would have sufficient con myself to put it "over"- that I would "afraid" of myself, of things or of others that if I could smash my ideas across I wo make my presence felt. I knew that b I had always begged for success-hadstood, hat in hand, depending on others to me the things I desired. In short, I trolled by the will of others. Henceforth mined to have a strong will of my ownmand and command what I wanted.

But how shall I begin? What shall I It was easy enough for me to determ things I had "determined" many tire But this was a question of will power, and up my mind that the first step was to enough of my own will power to stick carry out my determination.

With this new purpose in mind I app. self to finding out something more a power. I was sure that other men mist studied the subject, and the result of : perience would doubtless be of great val in understanding the workings of my So, with a directness of purpose that scarcely known before, I began my search

The results at first were discouraging. a good deal had been written about the and other faculties of the brain, I a nothing that offered any help to me in a the new power that I had hoped might be ̧-

But a little later in my investigation I tered the works of Prof. Frank Channi dock. To my amazement and delight 1ered that this eminent scientist, who ranks with James, Bergson and Royce, . completed the most thorough and cons"

tudy of will power ever made. I was astonished read his statement, "The will is just as suscepible of development as the muscles of the body"! kly question was answered! Eagerly I read furher how Dr. Haddock had devoted twenty ears to this study how he had so completely nastered it that he was actually able to set down he very exercises by which anyone could develop he will, making it a bigger, stronger force each lay, simply through an easy, progressive course of Training.

It is almost needless to say that I at once began o practice the exercises formulated by Dr. Hadlock. And I need not recount the extraordinary results that I obtained almost from the first day. I have already indicated the success that my developed power of will has made for me.

But it may be thought that my case is exceptional. Let me again assure you that I am but an average man, with no super-developed powers, save that of my will. And to further prove my contention, let me cite one or two instances I have since come across, which seem to show conclusively that an indomitable will can be developed by anyone.

One case that comes to my mind is that of a young man who worked in a big factory. He was bright and willing, but seemed to get nowhere. Finally he took up the study of will training, at the suggestion of Mr. W. M. Taylor, the noted efficiency expert, and in less than a year his salary was increased 800%. Then there is the case of C. D. Van Vechten, General Agent of the Northwestern Life Insurance Company, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Just a short time after receiving the methods in will development suggested by Prof. Haddock, he felt that they would be worth from $3,000 to $30,000 to him.

Another man, Dr. H. D. Ferguson, residing in Hot Springs, Ark., increased his earnings from $40 a week to $150 a week in a remarkably short space of time after he began the study of will training. These are but a few there are many other equally amazing examples which I personally know about. And aside from the financial gain, this training has enabled thousands to overcome drink and other vices almost overnight has helped overcome sickness and nervousness

has transformed unhappy, envious, discontented

people into dominating personalities filled with the joy of living.

Prof. Haddock's lessons, rules and exercises ir will training have recently been compiled and published in book form by the Pelton Publishing Co., of Meriden, Conn. Mr. Pelton has authorized me to say that any reader who cares to examine the book may do so without sending any money in advance. In other words, if after a week's reading you do not feel that this book is worth $3, the sum asked, return it and you wil owe nothing. When you receive your copy for examination I suggest that you first read the articles on the law of great thinking; how to develop analytical power; how to perfectly con centrate on any subject; how to guard agains errors in thought; how to drive from the minc unwelcome thoughts; how to develop fearless ness; how to use the mind in sickness; how to acquire a dominating personality.

Some few doubters will scoff at the idea of wil power being the fountainhead of wealth, position and everything we are striving for, and some may say that no mere book can teach the devel opment of the will. But the great mass of in telligent men and women will at least investigate for themselves by sending for the book at the publisher's risk. I am sure that any book tha has done for me and for thousands of others what "Power of Will" has done is well wortl investigating. It is interesting to note tha among the 200,000 owners who have read, used and praised "Power of Will" are such prominen men as Supreme Court Justice Parker; Wu Ting Fang, Ex-U. S. Chinese Ambassador; Lieut.-Gov McKelvie, of Nebraska; Assistant Postmaster General Britt; General Manager Christeson, o Wells-Fargo Express Co.; E. St. Elmo Lewis Governor Arthur Capper, of Kansas, and thou sands of others.

As a first step in will training, I will sugges immediate action in this matter before you. It i not even necessary to write a letter. Use the form below, if you prefer, addressing it to th Pelton Publishing Company, 119-A Wilcox Block Meriden, Conn., and the book will come by retur. mail. This one act may mean the turning poin of your life, as it has meant to me and to s many others.
