"TheAcid Test
Only Mr.. Edison Dares to
Make This Test.

IN ornonncinoT his new musical instrument to
the world Mr.. Edison faced new proolem. ho"
should the public be made to realize that ne hao ac
tuallv Re.Created Music-that he had produced a
new musical instrument-not talking machine
not even a monograph? All the superlatives and
finely worded phrases had been used in the descrp-
tion of old standards. Applied to Muslcs Re-Crea-
ton the most extravagant claims would, therefore,
fall short of the truth.
And so. with his usual frankness and simplicity,
Mr.. Edison conceived plan which, by its very dar-
ing defes contradiction.
"Let the public hear The Edison side by side with
the living artists and permit it to judge for itself"
How startling an idea How daring an expert
ment- Who would ever demand much of
phonograph?
Yet Mr.. Edison was willing to offer the pub
lie this straightforward proof that he had actually
Re-Created music.
Mr. Edison called in the great artists who sang
for him. He asked them to go out to the music
centers of the country and, in the cause of true
music, let the people judge for themselves.
More than 100000 music lovers have witnessed
this unique experiment. At each tone test, large
and critical audience assembled Repeatedly the
listeners were held spell-bound by the revelation
which greeted their ears.
They heard the living voice of the singer They
heard its Recreation in direct comparison.
But only by watching the singers lips could
they tell when they heard the living tone and when
they heard it's Recreation upon, The New Edison.
Newspapers sent their music critics to judge
this startling test. They came, cool. critical and
impartial, trained in their Judgment
Over five hundred of them have publicly de-
clared in the columns of their newspapers that it
was impossible to distinguish between the real and
the Reiterated Not single newspaper. critic has
claimed to be able to detect "a difference, They
have hailed Musics, Re- Creation as "a New Art"
What testimony be more convincing than
this? Can you believe mere "glowing claims when
Mr.. Edison offers you this final proof? Is it not
significant too, that Mr. Edison is the only one who
has ever dared to offer to the public this acid test
the only way by which it may really Judge?
The Phonograps Company, 20 N. Main Street,
are exclusive distributors in this territory of the
New Edison and will be glad to demonstrate this
wonderful instrument to you at any time. They
also invite you to come to their paror and hear all
the latest music as Reiterated by The New Edison.

TIME DIFFERENT EGGS
TAKE FOR INCUBATION

The period incubation varies with
species of poultry. Hens eggs re-
quire 21 days; pheasant, % to "a
days; duck, %; Muscovy duck, 33 to
35; turkey, %; pea fowl; % guinea,
26 to %; ostrich, AZ; goose 80 to a..
Conditions also affect incubation
so that in some cases hatch may
run one or two days over, due to an
accident during incubation or to a
low temperature throughout that
period, while, on the other hand, the
period may end earlier. If through
any accident the eggs are chilled or
overheated, it is advisable to contin-
ue the hatch, testing the eggs after
few days to determine the extent
of the damage, says Department of
Agriculture poultry specialists.
Chickens have been Matched from
eggs left out of the incubator all
night, as well as from eggs which
have been subjected to tempera-
ture of over 11O degrees F. for a
short time.
