This wonderful instrument IS
made in The Edisonn Labora-
tories in accordance with spec
ifeations established by Mr.
Edison personally
Although the New Edison sells
at somewhat higher price than
taking machines, it is mannfac-
tured and sold az smaller per
centage OF profit. Furthermore,
owing TO the superlatiyely fine
materials used In the manufac-
ture OF the New Edison, the
Edison Laboratories have felt
the increasing cost Of materials
more acLtely than any OF the
talking machines manufactur-
ers Nevertheless, although the
talking machine people have
quite generally raised their prize
es, the Edison Laboratories have
stood steadta8t In The mainten-
uuce Of their long established
prices
Theg now find. however, that
II is imperative for them to in
crease their prices, but II is
quite Characteristic Of Dir. Edi-
son that, instead o. making the
increase Immediately, the Ed
son Laboratories give the public
ample warning, The increased
prices will not become effec-
tive until January /, 1918.
Meanwhile the New Edison. the
photograph with a soul, will
be sold al the old price As You
probably know, there is now

TO LIVE LONG!

A recipe given by famous physician
for long life was: keep the kidneys in
good order Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try q milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty OF water,
and exercise so you sweat = the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of infiam-
nation, as backache, scalding water"

ARMY MULES OPERATlC
AMBITIONS CHECKED
lBy Henry Woodl

' AJlibt1 llt1o totlll
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
AElELD, June 25.--(By MaiL)-
uncle Sam rendered France great
service in letting her have his mules
at very good price--but France
has returned the service thousand
times by solving the secret of bray
less mule.
When the American pack mule ar
rved in France to "do his bit" he of
curse brought his bray with him.
The mule was welcome--but tho
Dray--well any unusual sound on the
battlefield is undesirable. 1t might tip
Of the Boche to surprise attack.
In an effort to put an end to the
nightly "love song" Of the pack mule
che French military authorities de-
cided to separate the sexes, and all
gentlemen mules we're retained for
service in one sector while all of the
ady mules were taken off for service
m a more distant region.
This produced very marked results.
Nevertheless there still remained GER
tain mules who either from force of
habit or from conviction that both
their love and their voice were strong
enough for their lady loves to hear
them no matter how far away they
might be, persisted in making the well
kin ring with a gigantic bray just
at the place and time when it would
give the Boches the right cue for
sending in hail OF shells, grenades
and rifle fire.
The habits and temperament of the
mule were then subjected to further
and more profound study by the
French and this time with more hap
py results. 1t was found that very
slight operation performed on the
nostrils of mule would render him
silent as a wrecked phonograph, and
since then the American mules in the
yosges have met all requirements
that could possibly be expected of
them.

WITH OR WITHOUT.

The New York World is extremely
sad on account of the danger of the
adoption of prohibition as a war meas
ure. The national house of represen-
tatives has declared for prohibition
until after the war. The World says
'aro enslave the American people is
q big job but this will do it. The
World also says "that the bill refer
red to will keep $470,0O0,0 900 of liquor
revenue out of the treasury every
year That it will destroy thousands
Of millions of dollars worth of prop
erty and throw millions of men out
OF work. That it will upset the fl
nancial system of most American
states and cities now resting largely
upon liquor licenses, etc" The World
then goes on:
'lf we had drunken house of rep
resentatives, if we had reasonable
house of representatives, if we had a
pro-German house of representatives,
could it do more for the enemy than
to fire such torpedo or drop such
an aerial bomb as this against re-
public that is stripping itself for the
warp"
The Des Moines Capital is in favor
of the prohibition of the liquor traf-
fic anywhere in the world where it
can be made effective. If prohibition
can be made effective in fighting
Germany, we are for it. If it would
injure our fight against Germany at
the present time, we are against it.
This country has but one problem
one job-and that is to everlastingly
whip the Imperial German empire.
This should be done without booze if
possible. and if it can be better done
by letting booze alone for time,
then let that be done.

HISTORY IS REPEATING ITSELF.


The history of the Civil war in the
q. S. is repeating itself at the
juncture, in some very noticeable par
tieulars. There was a period, in '6l,
when certain elements of the North
threatened to become unruly. After
giving them a reasonable length OF
time to cool down, and finding that
they were inclined to warm up, the
authorizes took them in hand and
treated them as disturbers Of the
peace, with the yer. minimum of
formality. Then the elements refer
red to decided to find some business
to attend to on their own account,
and let the government manage the
war If similar course should be
pursued now, the history of the Civil
war would be repeating itself to good
effect. There are too many people
