ARITHMETICAL EXERCISE.

_Letter to the Editor._

"SIR,--I read in the Money Market article last week that

Dumbells Co., Isle of Man, paid 17 per cent. Now, Sir, a long time ago

I invested in Dumbells, and use them regularly every morning; also

I recommend everybody to invest in Dumbells. But where is my 17 per

cent.? I've never received it. I am certainly considerably better in

health and muscular development than I was before my investment in

Dumbells. But, putting this at 5 per cent. better, I still want the

other twelve. I apply, Sir, to you, for further information, and am,

yours hopefully,

"A. WYSE AKER."
