28 “Correspondence Column” Recently we enjoyed a “Bouquet Week” in which an unusually large number of complimentary letters came in on Reedsdale Cigarettes. We cannot re- sist the temptation to reprint a few extracts in this column: From Washington, D. C.: “They cer- tainly exceeded all claims made for them. I have smoked cigarettes for nearly fifteen years, and until today have been searching for a permanent brand, but now my search is over. “The package is not to be improved upon, furnishing, as it does, unbroken cigarettes in ‘short order.’ It will be a_ privilege to recommend your cigarettes. From Columbus, Ohio: “A short time ago a friend of mine offered me a cigar- ette—it was a Reedsdale. I can readily say it was the best cigarette I have ever smoked.” From Akron, Ohio: “After smoking a carton of Reedsdale Cigarettes I feel that I owe you a letter of appreciation. “The pleasure and satisfac- tion which one derives from smoking them cannot be found in any other cigar- ette at any price, and then too, the added attraction of a convenient, ever-ready package makes them irresistible. “Many men, like myself, will never know their brand until they have tried Reedsdale.” From Burlingame, Kansas: “I wish to congratulate your company in de- veloping what I believe to be the cig- arette par excellence. I was more than delighted with Reedsdale Cigarettes, their mellow satisfying flavor, and aroma. Have smoked cigarettes for several years, and have at last found the cigarettes for myself.” You will note a common theme run- ning through all four of these letters. It is the theme of “Eureka.” Each of these gentlemen hails the Reedsdale as his brand, found at last, at the end of a long search. Reedsdale Cigarettes are 20c for a package of twenty. They are now sold y many tobacco dealers, and their dis- tribution is being rapidly extended. If you have any difficulty in finding them, we will send you_a carton of 5 packages of Reedsdale Cigarettes (100 cigarettes), postpaid, for a dollar. Smoke one package at our risk. If you don’t like them we will return your dollar for the four remaining packages. Address Reed Tobacco Co., 118 South 21st St., Richmond, Va. To Retai!

Nevertheless, when his niece became an orphan, it was quite necessary that he should look after her and take her about a little. Thus it happened that one day he was invited with her to dinner at the table of one of the high officials of the Govern- ment. His rank of General, his advanced age and his chest starred with decorations gave him a place of honor almost oppo- site the hostess. The soup course finished, the soup plates were naturally removed. At the time the General was much occupied in telling his neighbor on the right about his Madagascar campaign. Mechanically he took his napkin and, in the manner of a bachelor used to dining in a res- taurant, wiped the fresh plate. Immediately a butler rushed forward, removed the plate and put down another. The General wiped it off with his napkin and continued his story. Again an ex-> change of plates and again the mechani- cal gesture of the old warrior, and once more the flunky stretched forward to re- move the plate; but this time the General saw him. Barring the way with his arm, he turned towards his hostess. “Sapristi! madam,” he cried, “Is that imbecile going to stop, or shall I have to wipe every plate in the house?” —Le Rire (Paris), nful of Abbott's Bitters on halt Grape Fruit, Teaspoot a delightful breakfast tonic.

The proprietor took it from the window and had him try it on. “It is such a fit,” he exclaimed, “your friends won't know you. Go ahead, I ask you, just step outside a few moments.” The actor walked out, and after a short time came in again.

South Bend, Indiana An Easy Way to Remove Dandruff If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don’t. _ The best way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. To do this, just apply a little Liquid Arvon at night before retiring ; use enough to moisten the scalp, and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications should completely re- move every sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug store. A four- ounce bottle is usually all that is needed. The R. L. Watkins Co., Cleveland, Ohio comicbooks.com
