Next, they're dolled up and flavorings are sure getting' expensive. And then, they're priced a bit high so they'll seem "exclusive." But read how Spur Cigarettes offer the highest possible quality at the lowest possible price: If there are any finer tobaccos from the Orient and the good old U. S. A. than those selected for Spurs, they must be a secret that the world has never heard. And when we got these combined in Spur Cigarettes, what do you suppose was the result? Just the best, taste and aroma that any cigarette could give, and Willie Doll-up or Freddie Flavoring hadn't a , thing to do with it. Spur is "class" all through 1 even to the smart " brown-and-silver" package, triple-wrapped, that keeps Spurs fresh and fra grant. Try out a package of Spurs. You'll say "made and priced for popularity." MANUFACTURED IV Liggett & Myers Tobacco ?o i from This American Red Cross Work Flourishing in Small Towns Throughout Country.

Itural nursing which was In Its Infancy a short whllo ago has been put ahead at least n decade through the work of the department of nursing and locnl lied Cross chapters. ' Public health nursing has been ex tended to many rural communities nnd now nourishes actively In hundreds of small towns and counties.

"As a community profits by the work of the nurse." says Miss Clura D. Noyes, director of tho department of nursing, "It Is logical that the com munity should be aroused to Its respon sibility.

Ifou can hear it in our store 1. the phonograph that is fea tured in Vaudeville 9s strangest act Perhaps you've seen it Signor Friscoe's "Magic" Xyloph one Act. It's the hit of vaudeville's "Big-Time." Signor Friscoe's "magic" is an Official Laboratory Model of the New Edison. We have one exactly like it. Signor Friscoe's instrument is an exact duplicate of the origi nal Official Laboratory Model, which cost Mr. Edison three Tie NEW 1 The Phonograph You've read how the New Edison has proved its perfect realism. Four thousand tests have been given, in which more than 50 different artists compared their art with its Re CnKATiON by the New Edison. Leading newspapers conceded that there was no dif ference between the two. Has any one suggested to you that these comparison tests are "faked" that the artist imitates the New Edison ? Signor Friscoe's performance makes such an assertion positively ridiculous. Every week, 20,000 people see his hauiNers ripple over the xylophone keys. Suddenly lis lwlds them aloft still. The rippling music continues. Slowly, the gorgeous curtains of the back drop part. The audience gasps. The New Edison stands revealed. It has taken up Signor Friscoe's performance, and is now He-Cheating it alone. The effect of this extraordinary magic can rest upon only one fact: No one can distinguish any differcrco between Signor Friscoe's performance nnd its RE-CnKATioN by the New Edison. Signor Friscoo could not possibly imitate the New HARRY DIXON, Agent, North Platte, Neb. Mrs. A. J. Frazlor returned Tuesday from Kearney nnd Omah whors she had been visiting relatlvos for a week.

Our instrument is also an exact duplicate of this famous three million dollar original. We guarantee it to be able to give the same marvelous Re Creations of music, which Signor Friscoe's Official Labor atory Model gives in vaudeville. Come in and test the astonish ing realism of this instrument for yourself in Mr. Edison's Realism Test. EDISON . xoith a Soul" Edison, because the xylophone can not be made to imitate any other instrument, so as to deceive its hearers. Sig nor Friscoe's act is not an Edison enter prise. He has simply been clever enough' to use the New Edison for what it is worth Why don't you? PRICES The price cf the New Edison has increased less than 15 since 1914. Thi, includes the War Tax. Mr. Edison has staved off price advances by personally absorbing more than half of the increased cost of manufacture. Because of the exceptionally high quality of materials and workmanship demanded by the Edison Laboratories, and the con tinued scarcity of both, it may be necessary to advance prices. But rest assured that this will not occur, unless Mr. Edison is forced to it Our Budget Plan the thrift way of spend ing will help you buy now, Let us tell you ubout it.
