MONEY READILY REFUNDED IF YOU ARE NOT WHOLLY SATISFIED - LIFE - Rhymed Reviews Mr. Podd By Freeman Tilden The Macmillan Co- “Let's organize a rescue squad To save the world and teach it, later!” Said wealthy Mr. William Podd, The famous nozzle-fabricator. “T'll stock an ocean-faring ship With chosen souls and ample ra- tions And take a globe-encircling trip To start the Brotherhood of Na- tions.” Then flocked the Pilgrims, red and pink— The Reverend Loasby, devil-dodger, Miss Peebles, Mrs. Tantruss, Fink, Lucretia Frale and Doctor Bodger. And all on board had schemes to heal Our universe, but Captain Rumble, Miss Willa, Waddick, Dostey, Neale And Julius Pickbill, kind and hum- ble. The crew had likewise thought and planned; They rose in communistic riot And set the ardent pilgrim band Ashore upon a desert eyot. There let leave them high and dry Proclaiming truths and making mo- tions With lots of leisure time to try Their patent world-preserving no- tions. Oh, no: it doesn’t prove a thing, This lightsome tale is just amus- ing; It may not make the welkin ring, But anyhow it’s worth perusing. I wonder, though, does Mr. Podd (Whose nozzle works increase their earnings ) Return to this his native sod With presidential hopes and yearn- ings? ALG. Appreciation Dinner at the Dumbleduns’ had been delightful, and, as I toyed with the coffee, I turned to the little débutante on my left, and launched into a discussion upon the origin of essences, upon the city of Carcassonne, upon Swedish poetry, upon the cos- metics employed by the Manchu women, upon dry-point etching, upon steeplechase racing, upon the study of phonetics. The young lady's eyes fair- ly sparkled; her pretty face radiated interest. “Tell me,” she said, when I had finished, “do you think the Tiffle- bys’ beach party will be fun to-mor- row night?” St. Louis smoker moves into second place | With 405 cans to his credit Mr. Thurston smokes his way towards the lead Mr. Byron Thurston of St. Louis is more than qualified for membership in the Edgeworth Club. But his position in the | championship-smoker class is not so well ablished. Mr. Thurston's interesting letter follows: Hotel Garni, St. Louis, Mo. Larus & Brother Company, I have often heard of great smokers of one kind of tobacco. 1 405 cans of Edgeworth Plug size, without changing. Now if you know of any better recor! I would be giad to hear from you. I smok e can of tobacco in two days and enjoy every pipeful. Yours truly, (Signed) Byron’ Thurston More than a year ago an Edgeworth smoker from Burlington, Vermont, Mr. H. F. Baldwin, wrote in suggesting that he had smoked more Edgeworth than any other living man. At that time he had smoked over 1000 cans of the same size purchased by Mr. Thurston, distributed over a period of nearly a score of years So while it appears today that Mr. Thurston is well behind the leader, if he continues smoking a can every two days, it may be only a matter of years before he will be well in advance of the entire field Edgeworth has something about it that holds smokers.
