 IF YOU KNOW 



jflhjwsv 



If you would know how to defend yourself, unarmed, against every form of vicious attack and render 

 helpless your assailant with an ease and rapidity which is astonishing — if you would possess that physical 

 strength and power of endurance which characterizes the Japanese soldier — you must learn Jiu-jitsu. 



Jiu-jitsu is the most wonderful system of physical training and self-defense the world has ever 

 known. Its practice develops every muscle, every tissue and strengthens every organ of the 

 human body. It makes men "strong as steel," and women the physical equal of men of their own 

 age and weight. As a mearfs of self-defense, it is as potent at short range as the most deadly 

 weapon. The science of Jiu-jitsu includes a thorough knowledge of anatomy, and teaches how to 

 produce temporary paralysis by a slight pressure exerted at one of the many vulnerable points. 

 When once a person skilled in the art effects one of the Jiu-jitsu "holds," it is utterly useless for an 

 opponent to offer resistance. It makes no difference how unequally matched in point of size or 

 strength the contestants may be, a knowledge of Jiu-jitsu will enable a woman to overcome and 

 render powerless the strongest man. 



JIU-JITSU SUCCESSFULLY TAUGHT BY MAIL 



For over 2,000 years the principles of Jiu-jitsu have been religiously guarded. By an Imperial 

 edict the teaching of the system was forbidden outside of Japan. The friendly feeling, however, ex- 

 isting between Japan and the United States has been instrumental in releasing Jiu-jitsu from its 

 oath-bound secrecy, and all the secrets of the Japanese National System of Physical 

 Training and Self-Defense are now being revealed to the American people for the first 

 time by tht- Yabe (School of Jiu-jitsu, at Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Y. K. Yabe, 

 formerly of the Ten-Shin Ryu School of Japan, has formulated a correspondence course 

 which contains full instructions in Jiu-jitsu. It is identical with the course taught in 

 the leading school ol Japan. 



FIRST LESSON SENT FREE 



An intensely interesting book which explains the principles of Jiu-jitsu has just 

 been written by Mr. Yabe. As long as the edition lasts, this book, together with the 

 first lesson in the art, will be sent free to interested persons. The lesson is fully illus- 

 trated with full-page half-tone engravings, and shows one of the most effective methods 

 known to Jiu-jitsu for disposing of a dangerous antagonist. If you desire to know 

 more about the closely guarded secrets of this marvelous science, you should write to- 

 day for this free book and specimen lesson. They will be sent you by return mail, 

 postpaid. Address

I read your magazine with pleasure, and 

 am surprised at the wonderful influence it 

 is exerting with many who formerly killed 

 large bags of game and creels of fish. 



The pump and the automatic shot guns 

 are used by the greedy fellows, many of 

 whom would not willingly leave one bird 

 for seed.

Col. E. S. Cobb enjoyed a moonlight 

 fox hunt one night last September. His 

 pack of dogs raced an hour and three- 

 quarters for a fox and finally killed him. 

 That was the first hunt of the season, and 

 Col. Cobb said it was one of the best he 

 had ever had in St. Tammany. The weather 

 was all that could have been desired, and 

 the dogs did not run out, but showed 

 ability to follow the trail. Col. Cobb in- 

 tends to add several hounds to his already 

 large pack.
