DR.. David says:

I'm advising all my patients these
days to keep Missol on hand and use
it regularly. The first thing in the
morning before you go out. And
again at night when you come home.
Don't be afraid to use it freely. It
will do no harm. And then stop
worrying. You've done all you can
to safeguard yourself.
Put Mistol up your nose. There's :
special dropper that comes in every
package that makes it very easy to
use. Just tilt your head back and
drop it in your nose until you feel it
in your throat. You'll notice the
pleasant, cleansing effect at once.
Mistol clears your head and makes
breathing easy. 1t has 4 healing,
soothing effect on the membranes
and relieves any irritation OF lntlAm-
nation. 1t helps dry up . running
nose. Use it, too, as gargle. Mistol
is good for sore throat or hacking
cough. And above all, protects the
nose and throat against germs.
Don't wait till you begin to sneeze
or your throat aches. Take my advice
and get a bottle of Mistol today.
Every druggist knows it,
The combination treatment Of Nujol
and Mistol is a double safeguard
against influenza. Start this wise
two-fold precaution now. Don tdelay.
Nujol and Mistol are both made by
the same famous laboratories. of the
finest quality materials and with the
greatest skill possible. Both prepara-
tions are harmless. At all druggists.
Aren't they worth tryinge

B. n. DUKE, TOBACCO
| king, DIES AT HOME
Philanthropic Millionaire III a
Long Time; Funeral in
North Carolina

New York, Jan. 8.-(R-Benjamin
N. Duke, tobacco manufacturer, died
at his residence at East seth street
early this morning after lengthy ILL.,
ness.
Mr.. Duke was In his 74th year.
Funeral arrangements have not been
completed. but burial will be Thurs
Cay in Durham. N. c., where he
maintained an estate.
Several months ago newspapers re-
ported that the capitalist and philan-
tllropist had ben confined to his mil
lion dollar mansion at the corner of
seth street and fifth avenue by the
infirmities Of age. In 1915 and again
In 1917 he had been seriously Ill with
nervous disorder.
Duke Family Prominent
Benjamin N. Duke was one of two
sons Of Washington Duke who helped
extend their fathers inconspicuous
business to such proportions that 1t
made the family name known
throughout the world.
The father. almost impoverished by
the war between the states, had raised
tobacco on his farm and the product
was sold to country merchants by his
sons. Benjamin N. and the late James
b. Duke. This business soon after
ward was expanded to include the
manufacture of the raw product on a
small scale.
Continued prosperity enabled the
the father few years later to move
to Durham, N. c.. where he started a
small factory. That was the actual
beginning Of the business that even
tually was valued In millions.
The little factory was success
from the start and was extended from
time to time until Washington Duke
at his death was regarded as one Of
the country's most prosperous tobac.
co manufacturers.
With the death of the father the
business passed to the two sons ano
innovations were introduced. Jane.
inaugurated the manufacture o.
cigarettes by machinery when that
method of using tobacco first came
into favor.
Under the firm name Of Duke
Brothers. the business grew to giant
proportions until 1890. when 1t wa.
merged with The American Tobacco
company. James became the guiding
genius of the combination as It's pres.
ident for many years. while Benjamin
served as treasurer and director unit
