AFTER we'd perfected our new Havana
n blend, we wanted to test ito make
sure it had the true Havana taste. That's
why we took it all the way to Cuba. For
where but Havana itself would smokers
know better the true flavor of Havana
tobacco? We selected prominent Cubans
real connoisseurs of !cigars-gave them
some of the new White Owls to smoke.
Without exception, they all praised the
rich Havana flavor of this new cigar.
It's an old trick to put mere dash of
Havana in a cigar and say it's ''Blended-
with Havana. But there is no trick about
this cigar. 1t has generous helping of
Havana-your taste will tell you. It's
really good grade, too. Maybe this sounds
unbelievable for 81 cigar. Well, we are
Americas largest buyers of Havana to-
bacco, and we know what we are talking
about. Fact is, it's the same type Havana
tobacco that is used in popular cigars
costing l0f or more. Try one of these
new cigars today.

connected with any pending bill. They are made after the business of the day is finished, and if you are cagy you make your arrange ments in advance.
 Thus, of Friday afternoon, you rise and tell the Speaker:
 MT. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to address the House on Monday for Is minutes.
 AS a general thing, unanimous consent is granted. Some meanie may spoil things by objecting, but he probably will be wanting to make speech himself at some later date, so the chances are he will keep quiet. And so on Monday afternoon you are given the floor and you can say what you please.
 Very often the time a congress- man thus gains isn't enough for him. In that case he can ask, and almost invariably get, unanimous consent to have an extension of his remarks printed in the Congression- al Record. Then he can have the Record franked to such of his con-

Bids For
 Floor Must Be M Early
By BRUCE CATION MIA Service Staff Correspondent

Washington, Jan co There is more to this business of making a speech in Congress than just get ting on your feet, nodding to the Speaker of the House, taking a deep breath, and letting go.
 The rules are formal and elab- crate and the force of House GUS tor4a is even more so. Under ordin- ary circumstances you don't get up on the floor and talk without some- body's approval.
 When bill is before the House it b the business of the day and all debate centers around it; and just who is going to speak for it and against 1t is pretty well mapped out in advance.
 A typical example would be an administration bill, reported favor ably by the committee to which 1t hao been referred and brought to the floor under a unanimous con- sent agreement limiting debate to five hours. These five hours are split equally, half to those in favor of the bill and half to those oppos- ing 1t. The chairman of the com

My nerves are quiet and calm and let me sleep like @ baby and I've almost forgot ten what it's like to suffer with dizziness or spots before the eyes. Actually, I never dreamed could feel so god again, and all the credit goes to Vendol. This is one medicine I can heartily recommend to all who suffer like used to-"

YOU HAVE TO GET PERMISSION

Ig you want to speak. let us say, for the bill, you see the committee chairman in advance. If he wants you as a speaker, he allots you 10 minutes-or 20, or 30, depending on your oratorical ability, general prom thence, and what-not. When your turn comes, you get up and speak. If he turns you down, you sit and listen. The same procedure applies on the other side, with the minority leader acting as boss.
 Of course, if the urge to speak is quite irresistible, you can always offer an amendment-provided you can get the Speaker to recognize you. You can move to amend the bill by striking out the third para graph, or the last line, or some thing, and then you get five minutes but you must talk strictly on your amendment.
 While you are speaking, the floor is yours. Often enough, some mem- ber will want to interrupt you with a question. He calls to the Speaker, will the gentleman yield?" You may yield if you feel like 1t, but you don't have to. Sometimes the questioner is somebody on your side, who seeks to buttress some point you are making; more prob ably he is of the opposition, trying to trip you up.

PNEUMONIA FIGHT PROGRESSES HERE
24-Hour Service Filling Definite Need in States
 History

Physicians in incrSasing num- bers are finding the 24-hour service for the laboratory diagnosis of pneu- monia furnished by the State De- partment of Health and now in the midst of its second intensive pneumonia season" helpful in pro- viding rapid diagnosis so that mod ern therapeutic measures can be started promptly. Messengers from physicians or members of the pa tient's family are bringing speci- and night from distant points in ments at various hours of the day and night from distant points in the state to secure this typing aid, the Bureau of Laboratories, at 1179 Main street, in Hartford, reports. Physicians require laboratory find ings which they can interpret to de- termine what type of life-saving serum is required by each pneu- monia patient and must have prompt service at any hour of the day or night since delay of only a few hours in giving serum treat ment may lessen the chances for recovery of the patient.
 The State Department of Health has made arrangement so that any physician calling from any tele- phone in Connecticut will be imme- diately put in touch with the bac- teriologist on duty at the Bureau of Laboratories by asking the tele- phone operator on duty at all times at the State Capitol exchange, Hart ford 7-6341 for Pneumonia Serv- ice'. That the 24-hour pneumonia service is filling a definite need is indicated by an increase of more than 100 per cent in specimens ex- amined during December, 1888, as compared with the same month of the previous year. The service is one of the several ways in which the Department is fighting the high pneumonia mortality rate.

ADVERTIsEMENT
THE SECRET THAT
CANNOT BE TOLD

A strange method of mind and
body control, that often leads to
immense powers never before ex-
perienced, is announced by Edwin
J. Dingle, well-known explorer and
geographer. It Is said to bring
about almost unbelievable improve

report improvement in health.
Others acquire superb bodily
strength, secure better positions,
turn failure into success. Often,
with surprising speed, talents, abil-
ity and q more magnetic person

The method was found in re-
mote and mysterious Tibet, form
erly a forbidden country, rarely
visited by outsiders, and often
called the land Of miracles in the
astounding books written about 1t.
