And What Bo You Get?
You gfet the Ramleh under its new
name,' Helmar."
In the "Helmap" you get the same
fine quality with the same "real tobacco
taste" that won such tremendous popu
larity for. the "Ramleh."
And you avoid the numerous imita
tions which attempted to trade on the
success of the Ramleh by using names
that sound similar to it. v -'
The only way we could protect you
against the substitution of these imita
tive brands was by changing the name
" Ramleh" to one which.lilce the quality of
the cigarette itself, could not be imitated.
The change in the name-does not mean
any change whatever in the cigarette, in
. which you will find the same original and
distinctive flavor which has made it the
favorite of so many thousands of smokers.
To be sure you get the same cigarette
which has always given you such com
pleteenjoymentand satisfaction, you need
only remember that the name is now
"Helmar" instead of "Ramleh" and
guard against the substitution of brands
with names that sound like "Ramleh,"
' Where once you asked for the " Ram
leh," you now get the same cigarette by
asking your dealer for

Good Vaudeville.
The usual series of entertaining acts
are to be seen at the Grand theatre this
week, and although there Is no headllncr
the omission does not seem to interfere
In any way with the entovment of the
audience. The Sldoniaa are eccentric I
comedians and their attempts to amusd
are gratiryingly suacessrul. Apparent
ly few funnier things have been seen
this season than the Sldoniag.
Veda de Bassinl,the Italian nightin
gale, sings several numbers which are
accepted ravoraoly by the audience, and
Frank Hayes and Anna Suits have a
singing and vaudeville specialty which
fives them the opportunity to change
heir clothing quite frequently and to
interpolate a bit or tne "Merry widow
that might make Henry Savage mad if
he knew about it. There is the inevit
able western one-act play with the in
evitable display of firearms and ex
plosive language.
Lyric "Hazel Kirke."
Real water makes the hit of the show
at the Lyric this week and demonstrates
the fact that after all the public, child
like and trusting as It Is, has a bathetic
predlllctlon for reality even on the
stage. The water is Introduced in the
