In each case they have come away arnaz-. ed at the almost unbe- lievable demonstration which had taken place before their very eyes, and ears ---the most daring test of a phono- graph or tanking • machine ever made. They saw a noted Edi - `s4 -4p--mo+''' son artist stand beside sso- Tie r t EDISO1N "The Phonograph with a Soul" • they heard the instrument sing in the artist's voice ---in other words, recreate her voice, . Presently the artist herself began to sing note for note with. the instrument. Musically trained ears strove in vain to distingui: h the faintest shade of difference between the actual voice and the Re -Creation. Then, suddenly and with- out warning, the artist ceased singing, leaving the instrtunent to continue the air alone. Only by watching the artist's lips did the audience know that she had ceased singing and that they heard the instrument alone. This is the famous Edison Tone Test. Only Edison makes this test. Only Edison tan make this test, because only the New Edison actually re-creates the human voice and' the music of human -played instruments with every tone quality and every shade of expression. Ordinary phonographs, and talking machines, merely reproduce. 1f you have not been fortunate enough, to witness an Edison roue rest, you may at least hear Edlson's wonderful new pho- .168 sxograpb at our stare.

Mr. and Mrs Ringler have the profound sympathy of all, Use Dollars as Bullets If my dollar will drive the enemy back from despoiling Europe and threatening America, here it goes! I will put all I can spare into a Victory Bond, to help old Canada finance its own war burdens, anti secure for Great Britain a plentiful supply of foodstuffs. For it is not the rich man's pile that counts most, It is the accumulation of purchases made by farmers and rural business men from every corner of Canada that swells the total and strikes terror to the heart of our enemy, When dollars can light, let us wheel every one of them into line and so hasten the peace that must come when our gold, en impact strikes the front line. He is a patriot and helper indeed who saves for Victory Bonds, THE DAY! • "British drums were beating through the streets of Lille this morning."—Cable despatch, October 18. British drums were beating through the streets of Lille this morning, As the tender light of autumn was with gold her spires adorning; And happy hearts kept rhythm with the beating of the drums, While voices sobbed and quavered; "The Liberator comes!" The muffled tramp of infantry was dying in the distance, The heavy-footed Hun had gone—had fled without resistance; He had seen his doom approaching and had taken timely warning; So the British drums were beating through the streets of Lille this morning! Aye, the British drums, and Belgian, Am- erican and French And Italian, roll a fanfare o'er valley, hill and trench;. From North Sea down to Switzerland the freedom chorus runs At the heels of vanquished Hindenburg and his cowering, flying Huns. "The Day" the Germans toasted in their arrogance and scorning Is ushered in, thank Heaven, by the beat- ing drums this morning; But it is the Day of Justice, and of Vic- tory nought can hinder, For the allied drums are playing Uncon- ditional Surrender! The Day! the Day! God bless it; it has come at last in glory To make an end for ever of proud Des- potism's Story; It will see the vaunting war lords and their Junkers ground to powder, And will hear the world's Te Deum swell- ing loud and ever louder!
