I Edison’s Dream Come True
Realizes His Ideal in the New
The reproducer is fitted with a genuine diamond ground and polished
to fit exactly the groove of the record and never needs changing.
But the Tone —that is where it most excels. It does not matter how
Mr. Edison arrived at the result what he has accomplished is what you are
interested in and after five years’ experience selling talking machines of
every make I can truthfully say no machine has ever even approached this
one in quality of tone fullness naturalness. It has merits unexpected in a
musical instrument.
No changing of needles—no scratching—no wear on records.
You must hear this instrument to appreciate what Mr. Edison has ac-
complished. Come in any time and see our new store our demonstration
booths where you can listen to this marvelous instrument and the new
records without interruption from noise. This is a personal invitation.

■ Does Tango
Reduce Flesh?
'
The violent movements of the '
modern dances naturally tend to •
keep flesh down but they also tend
to put an extra strain upon the vital
organs especially the heart and so
may damage the health more than
assist it. * Besides many people do j
not dance some- people do not believe 1
in dancing and few people can af- j
f<rd the ume to dance enough to
really accomplish much reduction. A •
better way t*» dissolve tatty tissue
easily and quickly vithout dieting Is (
by taking the parnotis treatment
made at home as follows: Put 4 ।
ounces parnotis (from your drug-j
gist's) in 1 pints hot water and;
strain when cool. Take a tablespoon- :
ful before meals until weight is
where you want it. No harm results!
from the use of the parnotis treat-1
ment. and the flesh Is left solid and i
the skin soft and smooth.—(Adv.)

Diamond Point
Disc Phonograph
After thirty-five years of labor and experiment Mr. Edison has
perfected his Diamond Disc Phonograph and attained a quality
of tone never dreamed possible by other inventors and manufac-
turers. This is a real musical instrument recording and re-
producing tones that are utterly impossible by other methods.
The Record is much harder than other disc records and is
practically indestructible. These records have been played
thousands of times without showing wear an impossibility where
steel needles are used.
