Boy or Girl?
Great Question!

This brings 10 many minds an old and
tried family remody-an external ap-
rlication known as Mothers Friend.
During the period Of expectancy it Is
applied to the abdominal muscles and is

who have used il speak in highest praise
Of the imm' use relief it affords. Partic-
u!arly do these knowing mothers speak
pf the absence Of morning sickness,
absence ot strain on the ligaments and
freedom from those many other dis
tresses which are usually looked forward
to with so much concern.
There is 10 question hut what

A TUXEDO SMOKING SET FREE.

Wonderful Combination Ash Tray
Given Away with 1o-cent Purchase.
How can they do it?" is the ques-
ton local smokers are beginning to
ask about the superb gifts which the
American Tobacco company from
tine to time offers its patrons.
For instance, if you buy 10-cent
tin OF the famous Tuxedo tobacco
within the next few days, the dealer
will present you with a combined Ash
Tray, Match Holder and Cigar Cut
ter, made out OF oXidized copper. Such
smoking sets as these cost fully twen-
ty-fye cents or more in the regular
stores for such equipment. Yet here
is the American Tobacco company
generously giving them away with a
10-cent tin of Tuxedo tobocco-and
the Tuxedo is worth the full ten cents
OF its purchase price every time.
OF course, only one such smoking
set goes to a customer And mas
much as the supply is limited, it is
advisable to get yours right away.
The only argument the tobacco
company produces is this: I'VE are
willing TO give away these handsome
presents occasionally with our var
iCus brands because we know that
as in the present case of Tuxedo
once a man starts using the brand
he will be a patron of that brand the
rest OF his life. If any man who
has never tried Tuxedo before will
buy tin of it under this special offer
we are absolutely certain that he will
remain a Tuxedo buyer That is the
business logic back of these handsome
gifts"

pettioned by 80 per cent of the total
number of voters in such municipality.

more than $1,000 to county municipal
ty, the license fees to be paid an
