Smoked 40 a Day.


"I never kept track Of the cigar
cites I smoked" Max told DR.. Bunch,
but smoked for four or five years,
and I smoked cigarettes that come in
packages Of 20. 1 usually smoked two
packs a day."
On this basis, the lad consumed
possibly $4,000 cigarettes, and cer-
tainly smoked not less than $4,000.

but will not say so positively.

Cigarettes may cause almost any

affects the nerve centers. The nerve
centers control the organs, health
and sanity. If the nerve centers are
affected everything may be affected
"Zillman smoked cigarettes until
the nerve centers governing his brain
were weakened and now he has no
mental capacity.

be any better physically, but If he
should stop smoking he might possi-

"IIANS AND NIX"
New Musical Comedy Is Coming Soon
10 the Oregon.

one Of the leading novelties OF the
musical comedy field this season and
one which has been meeting with re-
markable success, are those funny
fellows, Dixon and Bernard, in the
second edition of their newest sklt,
Hans and Nix" which will be pre-
sented at the New oregon theater
Thursday, October 10. 'Hans and
Nix" Is a musical comedy OF the up
to-date fashion, and from all ac-
counts Is designed to be one OF the
crownng laugh meters OF the year.
II has n variety of characters, some
of which are new to the comedy field.
The fun Is said to be fast and furlons
the lines are bright, sparkling and
bubbllng over with genuine humor,
and the people who help 10 make the
skit a success number some OF the
prettlest, daintlest and talented wo-
men on the American stage. The style
OF entertainment offered by Dixon and
Bernard has no rival in German COM
edy.
II is distinct and separate from any
thing else In the musical comedy
world, There is no deep thinking
plot, no special reason for the things
said and done in "Hans and Nix" but
IL is funny. and that is what the pub
lie demand and somehow II pleases.
Perhaps because there is so much OF
the serious in life that we welcome
this advertisement and like It. Dixon
and Bernard have never done any
thing by halves Their company Is
always a good one and invariably
dressed superbly. This year extrava-
giant claims have been advanced as
to the production from every point.
Elaborate and massive sets are carried
for each act, which is quite contrary
for each act which is quote out Of the
ordinary for this class Of amusement.
The costumes are more varied and

Reno, New, oct. 13.-For the sole
purpose of officiating at the funeral
of a man named Purdy, Bishop Hen
ry D. Robinson, Of the Protestant do
cese Of Nevada, made a 3O0-mile trip

Eureka has not had a minister for
several years and, in the absence of
a preacher, Purdy, an old pioneer,
has buried all the dead Of the COM

When death overcame him. no one
could be found to officiate. hence the
long trip Of Bishop Robinson.
Bishop Robinson will in the future
attempt to secure a minister for
Eureka, stating before he left that it
would be one Of his first duties upon
his return to Reno.
