Come-hear Ifechmanino
on the Nev Edison
RACHMANINOFF has not
only made Re-Creations for
the New Edison. He has also made
recordings for one of the standard
talking-machines.
j We are glad to announce that
these talking-machine recordings
may now be heard. We wan t you
to hear them and compare! De
termine for yourself which gives
you the real Rachmaninoff.
Let us play RachmaninofTs
Edison Rs-Ckkations for you.
Mark how clear, how true the
piano tone. See how every note
in his runs, every accent in his in
terpretation, every shade in his
pedalling is perfectly Re-Created.
pr This was provedby a test made
at Mr. RachmaninofTs home in
New York City. He played the
Second Hungarian Rhapsodic
(Liszt) in direct comparison with
the Re-Creation of his perform
ance by the New Edison. The
absolute fidelity of the Re-Creation
to the artist's original peformance
astounded the listeners.
Make the Rachmaninoff com
' parison. It will guide you right
in selecting your Christmas phono
graph. Am k oho '
about our Budget Plan
It brings your New Edison for
Christmas without squeezing your
pocketbook. Remember, too, that,
in buying a New Edison now, you
are virtually buying a before-the-war-value
with an after-the-war
dollar. The price of the New
Edison has increased less than 15
since 1914, and a portion of this
increase is war tax. "Edison stood
the gaff" to keep his favorite in-!
vention within the reach of every1
one who loves beautiful musicOil

for this Is to provide a shallow wall

This should extend to the bottom of

GOOD ROADS INDISPENSABLE
Highway Improvement Is a Business
Proposition With Farmer and
City Dweller.
When It tnkes four horses to pull
on empty wagon to town and wheat Is
going off in price ench dny; when tho
mall carrier gives up In despair, nnd
tho children cannot get -to' school, tho
farmer cannot help wondering how
much this condition Is costing him
each day.
Figure ns ho mny, ho ennnot got
nwny from tho fact thnt good roads
are lndlspensnblo to agricultural pros
perity. Tho city dweller Is alike concerned.
Tho farm on a good rond hns scores
of possibilities for tho development of
Its resources to every ono open to jho
fnrm on n poor rond. Incrensed ex
penditures greater buying powers.
In the enrly days of poverty many a
county bonded Itself for hundreds of
thousands of dollnrs to sccuro rnll
roads to promote agricultural develop
ment. Three-fourths of nil tho freight
t'ao rnllronds haul must sooner or Inter
movo over tho public highways, and
every ton so moved Is costing at an
average rato of 23 cents per mile.
Verily, rond Improvement Is a busi

Duty Long Before War.
Thu Interest of the American Keel
Cross In the fight against disease la
not, however, of recent origin. Long
before the war the urgnnlznttoa begnn
this health service through Its mod I cat
units In disaster relief work and lt
department of Town and County Nurs
ing. During the war nnd following
the armistice thousand of American
Hed Cross ofllclnls have been flghtlnc
disease In the war-stricken countries.
At the Kituie time tens of thousands Of
local Hed Cross ofllclnls have been en
gagod at home fighting dlscnso, nota
bly during the Influenza epidemics.
The American Ped Cross has de
termined that all this valuable experi
ence In hcnlth service abroad and at
borne shall not go to waste. So loo
as there at a half a million peopl
dying yearly In this country from pre
ventable causes, nnd so long ns mor
than one-third of the Amerlcnn chil
dren and young people nro victims of
physical defects, tho Hed Cross recoff
ntrcfl the urgent need for continued
Red Cross health scrvlco at homo.
How Organization Workt.
The Hod Cross Health Center la
governed by business principles, ap
plies business mothods, and, In lit
more slmplo form, can be established
and conducted by Iny people.
It proceeds upon the demonstrated
fact that health Is a "ommodlty that
can be bought and sold like broema
and soap. Therefore, It establish It
self In a storeroom In the prlmtpal
business section of the community. It
displays its goods n the form C at
tractive health exhibits In Its anew
windows. It advertises constantly tad
extensively. Aad It use every -ess
aad social devic to attract eas
terners. The Bad Or Health Center la o
ervice to tk stek la that it fives eot
reliable aad complete intematlea
atxmt exlstlaff clinics, hospitals, saaa
toria and ether iastlratloas (or the sick
and the defective; about available
nurses, both trained and practical t
about when to consult a physician and
why to shun the quack and his n
trams.
Teaching Disease Prevention.
The Red Cross Health Center la,
however, of even greater service to th)
well. It teaches people how to pre
vent sickness and disease. This Is dona
In many Interesting and attractive
ways first of all, by the distribution
of popular health literature and
through hoalth lectures Illustrated with
lantern slides or with health motion
picture films. Thon special exhibits ara
given, ono nfter the other, on various
hoalth subjects. Practical demonstra
tions nre mndo; nlso health playlets by
children to Interest nnd Instruct them
selves nnd their elders. Clnsscs ara
organized In personal hygiene, home
enre of tho sick, first aid and In food
selection nnd preparation. Healths
clubs, both for younger and older peo
ple, are formed; also Little Mother
Leagues. Nutrition and growth cllnlci
are conducted for children.
Already more than a bnndred bt
these Red Cross nealth Centers nre In
actual operation throughout tho coun
try. Many of them also conduct med
ical clinics, but tho one chief, out
standing feature of tho American Red
Cross Hoalth Center Is Its health edu
cation service which teaches well peo
ple how to keep well.
