A Select picture out of the ordinary and one you will enjoy. She was a tinpanner—a girl who took all she could git out of life withI out giving anything. Happiness—the kind of happiness that is derived | from money—was her one desire- She I fell in love with a man who had no I money. One of the richest men in I New Voi k proposed to tier. She. was I another man's pal. His wife threat I ened to sue her as co-respondent in a divorce case. What did she do? Whom did ’ho marry? See this delightful and ab- ' sorbing story with charming Alice j Brady at the Mecca tonight.

PILLS IN LEAD The Cigarette has Taken Lead as the National .Joy Smoke THE TOBACCO CROP The Most of it was Used in Making Cigarettes—ls Ahead of Gum Cigar types of tobacco are produced in New England. New York, Pennsylvania, the Miami Valley in Ohio. Wisconsin. Georgia and Florida. Os the entire tobacco crop of 1,389,000,000 pounds in 1919, the cigar types constituted about one-sixth, and the chewing, smoking, snuff and export types most of the remainder, according to tlie Bureau of Crop Estimates, I'nited States Department of Agriculture. The cigar types are heavy producers per acre, the average for 1919 being 1,265 pounds, while the other ypes hud an average of 679 pounds. Before 1919 the average farm mice of the cigar types of tobaco was always above that of the other types, as a whole, but in that year the extraordinary European demand for tobacco other than the cigar ■lasses and the immensely increased use of tobucco for cigarettes raised the average farm price of the composite chewing, smoking, snuff and export types to 41.3 cents on December 1, or greatly above the price of 21.9 cents for cigar tobacco. Indeed, he latter class of tobacco had a ower price than in either 1918 or 1917. not because of increase of proiuction, but because of weaker demand. The cigar has been overtak»n and passed by the cigarette. PREBLE DANCE POSTPONED Owing h> some misunderstanding, a dance lias been announced to be held in the Freitag hall til Preble.

who don’t know about this simple recipe to be constantly sniffing r id snuffling, blowing and hawking, when all these obnoxious svmptoms a:> well as the foul dis-che-ge can be made to disappear in a few days. Ask for three-quarters of an ounce of Mentholized Arcine—that’s all you need and after you have mixed it with enough boiled water to make a pint- gargle the throat twice daily and snuff or gfiray some up the nostrils, as directed. The tender nostrils will soon lose their soreness, heal up, and bo clean and healthy. Important Reminder: Just as soon as anyone in the family gets a cold in the head, check it at once with this same medicine. s
