Such a Racket Couldn’t
Be Kept From Landlord
The landlord was showing m
prospective tenant the premises.
Everything seemed to be satisfac
tory, when the landlord spoke up.
“You know, we keep it very quiet
and orderly here,” he said. “Do
you have any children?”
“No, just my wife and myself/*
was the reply.
“Do you have a piano or radio?**
“No.”
“Do you play any musical in
struments?”
“No.” ,
“Do you have a cat, or dog, oar
a parrot?”
“No, but I feel that in all fair
ness I must tell you my fountain
pen scratches when I write
with it.”
Medical officers have long rec
ognized tobacco as an aid to mo
rale among our armed forces.
Surveys among the men thena
selves have shown that tobacco is
their favorite gift. If you have a
friend or relative in the Army,
Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard
who smokes a pipe or rolls-his
own, nothing would be more ap
preciated than a pound of his fa
vorite tobacco. Prince Albert, the
world’s largest-selling smoking to
bacco, in the pound can is rec
ommended by local dealers as aa
ideal gift for men in the service*—
