'HAT is what the New Edison represents. The auto-
mobile, the airplane, the submarine; no uiau can pre-
dict to what lengths they will he perfected. But this
instrument has achieved a definite, final goal. It re-ere-
ites the singer's voice with such complete fidelity that no
luinan ear cuu distinguish artist from instrument. No
j>ne demands more than this. When the great inventor
[achieved the New Edison "he wrote the last word. You
Ssaunot improve upon perfection aud perfection is the word
Uieh describes
NEW EDISON
"The Phonograph with a Soul."
The famous Edison tone tests in which
ithe artists have sung in direct com
parison with their own He-Creations
on the instrument have proved the
truth of our claims about the New
Edison. More than 1500 of these
tests have ! -• en held; more than
2,000,OUf people luive attended them.
And in not one instance has a listener
been able to distinguish artist from
instrument. In not one case has any-
one been able to say when it was the
lie-Creation Kveu the newspaper
critics, the most skeptical ol listeners,
have united in supporting our asser-
tions.

INFLUENZA
Instruction to Families in Guarding' Against Epidemic Issued
By Council of National Defense.
The Council of National Defense lias issued the following:
I. In view of the present serious epidemic which is sweep-
ing over the country, the Volunteer Medical Service Corps earn
estlv invites your attention to the following important action:
I rye upon the meinhers of the Volunteer Medical Ueserve
Corps that they instruct families under their care to guard
.•iL'iiiiist the epidemic I \ :
thorough cjeanliucss of houses, premises, clothing, utcn
hIs, and personal cleanliness.
A voiil ,-t irring up t he dust.
Wash; scrub; flush; sprinkle; and use soap and water
1 horoiiglily.
(largle and sprnv the nose and throat with uti alkaline ;in
tiseptic f111i11 frequently.
< 'ooperute at once to the fullest extent wit h the lockil, State,
and National Hoards of Health. I rgc ami cooperate in pre
>nring towns and cities for the epidemic hy establishing einer
u'eiiey hospitals in suitable buildings, by districting coiumuni
ties, and apportioning or ilividing medical forces comprising
men and women physicians and nurses so that no portion of the
community is without medical care.
< irculate as thoroughly as possible and explain to the pub
lie the warning and directions printed by the I'nited States
Health Service and by local health authorities.
I 'rge the importance of fresh air and the avoidance of chill
and overheat.
In lighting the epidemic give no medicine and use no treat-
ment which may depress the vital forces, especially the heart of
the patient.
The Army ami Navy are figltiing and conquering Her-
mans. We must light and conquer germs without taking away
from the Army and Navy. Don't ask the Army and Navy for
medical and surgical supplies. Use simple utensils for steriliz-
ing; the simplest kinds of beds and bedding; make your own
masks and dressings, and fight for yourselves.
.'!. While the epidemic is on, do no surgical operations un
less absolutely necessary to save life.
4. In every way in your | ower urge the members of the
Volunteer Medical Service Corps to cooperate to the fullest ex
tent with the United States Public Health Service and with
State and Local Health Authorities.
