WINER Adoniaes In Stripes Charles Atlas, Adonis of modern times, showed the boys up at Sing Sing how it s done by breaking an Iron bar with his bare hands. Tw o thousand inmates applauded wildly, and all felt sorry that they hadnt eaten their Mama's spinach like Charlie did. Atlas, we believe, is a physiculiurist of the Bernarr Macfadden school.
