act. Mr.. Draper is a dancer of note

singing chorus is n of the best
things in the show. :
Another number in this act that
is going to make a big hit is a duet

ADVERTISING
IS ECONOMICAL
go
American Tobacco Company
Declare it Conserves En-
ergy of Sales Force.

Educational advertising conserves
the energy of sales forces, according
to the view held by the aAmerican
Tobacco company.
The fact hat that company is just
now conducting an advertising cam.
paign in Grand Forks to acquaint To-
cal smokers with Tuxedo tobacco il
evidence of the belief of that great
concern in the power of advertising.
Investigations which have been
made by the company have shown
that about seventy per cen Of the en-
ergies of the sales force have been
wasted in cases where advertising has
not proceeded the attempts at making
sales.
Properly conducted advertising
campaign have created a knowledge
OF the product. and when the sales
men cover the district they find con
ditions greatly different.
In this manner the American to.
bacco company believes that advertise
ing pays, conserving the energy Of the
sales force and making possible the
full utilization of the efforts of the
statesmen.

We arrive at the house of
"Never."
DO IT
Now!

What to give "this one,"
how to please "that one,"
in the meantime forgetting
someone" is what most of
us experience at Xmas
time. The reason is we
wait until the last minute
then rush in and buy hur-
riedly, frantically and ex.
pensively.
Here's a remedy: DO 1T
NOW. Sit right down and
make a Holeproof Xmas
list that will include every
body, from Baby to Grand
pa. Even common, every
day stockings would be
appreciated, but think how
much more the famous
Holeproof, Six Months with
out a hole gu arantee might
mean.
Not only will Holeproof
make a most acceptable
and useful Xmas Gift, but
they are inexpensive, for
instance:
6 prs. Women's Cotton Hose, $500
6 prs. Women's Silk Isle, 800
e prs. Mems Cotton Hose, $50
6 prs. Mems Silk Lisle. 200
And we also have the Genuine Silk
Hose, B pairs Guaranteed Three
months, Mems 500 box; Women's

A DEMOCRATIC BLUNDER

Somewhere the world there may be group of per more out touch with modern thought than cot of New Haven politicians but that locality is as yet undisclosed to the sight of men,
 Finding nominations by the voters rksome to the plots plans of political intrigue, those entrusted with the leadership of the Democratic party in New Haven have abandoned the system direct nominations which installed there upon the pretext that other parties ought to install it also.
 The actual reason and is every such case, that the politicians restless under method which places much power in the voters.
 The action taken in Haven discordant to the principles laid down by the Democratic party the state and the Democratic party in the nation
 The action taken in New Haven in opposition to the beliefs opinions of the vast majority of Democrats and against the public will in this country.
 The mistake will cost the Democrats of New Haven much, before it is forgotten.
