New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1917-08-08

If you will tell me why you employ
one physician, or dentist, or attorney
in preference to others. l will tell you
why people are lovers of real music select
the Edison Diamond Disc in preference
to talking machines. Come in and
listen.
There are many lives that are empty,
barren-mere half lives-homes that
are not homes, but merely houses-all
because the people so unfortunately sit
uated have not given themselves an op-
portunity for the refreshment of their
spirit or soul, which is to be found in
good music. Is yours such a life or such
"a home? Come in and hear the New
Edison.
All the New Artists who are now
singing at their best are recorded by Mr..
Edison. Numerous artists, such as
Matzenauer, Christine Miller, Farrar,
Fontani, and others who were formerly
tied up by contract with inferior Talking
Machines are coming into the Edison
Catalog as rapidly as their "Talking
Machine" contracts expire. Just a few
artists unfortunately for themselves are
tied up to old Talking Machine Com
;panies by such longtime contracts that
when they are at liberty to sing for the
Edison they won't be fit to sing.

@TWO.BITS-A-DAY' DIET
AS BOOM FOR MORALITY
New York Official Says Plan Would
Cause Decrease in Crime.

Reasons galore have been brought to
the front in favor of the adoption Of the
"two-bits-a-day" diet plan. but here Is
a new one and II ought to sound good TO
those who are desirous of bettering moral
conditions.
1t has been said that man can grow
physically and financially fat off OF %
cents worth of food a day. Again, peo-
pie who claim to know have declared that
the amount Of food to be purchased with
quarter of a dollar is conducive to
longer life because the stomach is not in
danger of being overfed or hurt by rich
foods. These are some of the good rea-
sons that have been brought forward in
an effort to start a campaign of physical
and financial economy.
But Police Commissioner Woods, OF
New York City, Is OF the opinion that
aside from the good things enumerated
above, the "two-bits-a- a-day" plan VIII
make for a prevention OF crime, He be-
lieves that the tendency to drunkenness.
thievery and disorderly conduct will be
considerably lessened II the population is
well fed
The Life Extension Institute has been
conducting the "two-bits -a-day" expert
ment with twelve rockies of the New
York Police Department. and the results
have been very gratifying, showing con-
elusive proof that a person can be prop
erly nourished on % cents worth of food
a day.

writes: Il am enclosing a photograp
Of print of the year 1870 OF Hall coat
Of arms. The original print in my pos
session does not represent the tincture
in the usual manner, so l am unable
to determine the proper emblazonement
of this coat of arms. / wonder If You
can give me this information and also
let me have your opinion as to whether
you consider this as good a coat of
arms Of the Hall family as Is readily
obtainable2''
After examining some one hundred and
ten possible coats-of-arms for the Hall
family l have found that this one is
Identical to the one used by the Hall
family of Henwick county. Worcester.
England and was granted in 1919. 1t is
described thus: Argent, three talbot's
heads, erased sable, between nine cross
corssletts azure. The crest Is a dragons
head couped azure, collared argent. That
is the ground of the shield is white. The
talbot's or dogs heads are black and
the cross-crossets are blue. The crest
shows a blue dragons head wearing a
silver or white collar. ..-
BY all means this is the best coat Of
arms for the Hal family II 1t belongs
to the family of the one who is to bear

John Moody-For the present and until
sometime late In February bonds ought
to prove more attractive than stocks even
to the trader who is buying for quick
profits
JosephthaI & Cove look for high
prices and advise purchases OF best steel,
coppers and other good stocks.
Z. f. Hutton & Co.-Accumulation iu
the metal stocks. in steel and realizing

G. f. Wslker-There is every indication
that the producing companies will sell
the relatively small amount Of copper
they will be able to deliver during the
second quarter OF this year for 90 cents or
better per pound.
T. l.. Watson & Co.-Strength Of under
tone is feature which should not be
overlooked in considering general stock
market temporary tendencies.
Moyse e. Holmes-It is our belief that
the strength OF cotton in the near future
will reassert itself and values again rise.
Clark Childs & Co.-The speculation
gives every indication OF continuing duh

tions are more strongly impressed. There

ceived.
MY work really is easy. I am not
trying TO show that there was a leak nor
that there was not. / am to gather all
the facts I can find and submit them to
the committee. Thus far, no one has
admitted receiving or giving any advance

The lake, which has frozen over, is be-
ing removed in other words, in chunks
II is being chopped up and the pieces
are being thrown into nearby lots
Residents are wondering II this is not
a wasteful method-to throw perfectly
good ice into lots. They think ii ought
to be sold to the ice trust, the proceeds
to go into the city treasury. However,
unless proper sewer facilities are provid-
ed In the spring to prevent a recurrence
Of the food. there may be more Ice
next winter
As already told in The Eagle, the lake

eighty feet wide.

mental destruction OF combat had reached
out even over the seas and into Brook
lyn.
LAS II came before the conference OF
physicians, It was called merely IAN
Unusual Case of Aphasia." But It was
more than that. 1t was the illustration
of the wrecking of a mind here in Brook
lyn merely by the sound OF the back
firing of an automobile that brought back.
