THE new YORK WORLD
THRTCE-A-WEEK EDITION.

The striking and important events
of the last year have established the
overwhelming value of THE THRICE-A-
WEEK WORLD to every reader. For an
almost nominal sum it has kept its sub
scribers informed of the progress OF all
our wars and, moreover, has reported
them as promptly and fully as II it were
a daily. With our interests still extend
ing throughout the world, wit b our
troops operating in the Philippines and
the great Presidential campaign, too, at
hand, it's value is further increased.
The motto of THE THRICE-A-WEEK
WORLD is improvement. 1t strives each
year to be better shRn it was the year
before, and public confidence in it is
shown by the fact that it now circulates
more than twice as many papers every
week as any other newspaper not q
daily, published in America.
We offer this unequaled newspaper
and THE WEEKLY LEADER together one
year for Sl.15.
