passes completely through the pores of

Out of the tobacco plant it cannot be

sufficient for the eontagion of an un-
limited number Of healthy plants.

"Up in the central part Of Wiscon-

had got tired talking about the trusts,
'there is a town that Is inhabited al

is 'Yonson,' the drug store on the cor

ment that uses our goods Is Mr..

riding up town from the station that
the grocer and the butcher were both
