two liberty bonds, a card of thrift

submarine, three picture books, an
automobile and a Noah's ark. ANY

holdings is met by protest so violent

chlld's sense of property rights is
strongly developed. That is, his own
property rights, for he is often in
clined to dispute my title to cigarette
stumps, safety razor blades and cary-
ing knives.
Moreover, Fl. Sd is unblushingly
parasitic. We fail to remember that

Tor the regular income of milk and
oatmeal, and sometimes carrots. which
IS issued to him regularly by his par
ents. To be sure, he once gave me
chlcaen bone and on another occa-

ne promptly took them away again. I
am even inclined to question whether.
IN any strictly legal sense, the chicken
pone or the spool were his. Granting
that they had been carelessly discarded

that, by his own efforts, 81. Sd res-
cued the spool from the scrapbasket

but at any rate their material estate
has improved greatly since the early
days of the thcater in this country.
In the middle Of tho eighteenth century
an actor never hoped to live on his
salary, but counted chiefly on the series
OF benefits for various members of a
company with which a season was
wound up. Mr.. Ilornblow quotes a
certain MIR. Jago, who in announcing
his benefit "humbly hopes that all
ladies and gentlemen will be SO kind
as to favor him with their company,
as he never had benefit before, and
is just out of prison"

offended, for Miss Mora NJ. Deane
writes:

to let us have the deletion. First

El0W CAN YOU TELL YOUR
FAvORITE TOBACCO
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell Il

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
favoring "to improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of favorin-- led, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most W 'o-olne, and delicious of all
flavorings-chocolate. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus dash Of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

How Diptheria Is Contracted.

One often hears the expression my
child caught severe cold which de-
veloped into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly sus-
ceptible to the wandering diphtheria
germ. If your child has cold when
diphtheria is prevalent you should
take him out Of school and keep him
off the street until fully recovered, as
there is hundred times more danger
of his taking diphtheria when he has
a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given it quickly cures the
cold and lessons the danger Of diphth-
eria or any other germ being con-
tracted.
