w EEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
i good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
tigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Of late years it has been discovered
that the state of Wisconsin is profit
able locality in which to raise first
class tobacco. At one time it was
thought that the crop could never be
produced in this country with any de-
gree of success, but of late it is being
demonstrated that the tobacco industry
is destined to become one of the great
est and most profitable lines in the
state,
No new industry. however is the

A visit to the factory the other day
revealed the fact that the business is
certainly prosperous and that the con-
Germ has a capacity of large volume.
In the basement the tobacco leaves
are sorted. Although of the same
grade there is a great difference in the
shade. Consequently the sorting de-
partment is necessary in order to get
the light, dark or medium, each in
their respective collection.
On the upper floor is the drying
room where the leaves are gotten ready
for the future processes. In the case
of damp weather, like we have been
having of late, it sometimes becomes
necessary to spread the leaves In an

One thing about the basement not to
be forgotten, is the leaf department,
where enormous quantities of tobacco
are stored ready to be made into cigars.
Here also is the boiler and steam heat

makers are employed where the fine
hand made cigars are turned out.
Here is where the most interesting
part of the work is carried on. Each
man has his table and moulds before
him. The filters are deftly rolled to-
gether and placed in the moulds to
give them the required size and shape.
Then the wrappers are put on and
pasted after which the ends are clipped
and the cigars are completed, ready
for the market. John Muth, the fore

used in these cigars are mostly of the
delicious Havana tobacco. The cigars
all have reputation of being the very
best and are favorites among smokers
in general.
One thing most noticeable about the
plant was the extreme cleanliness of
the different departments, and the
rules in regard to this are most rigid,
the men being required to wash before
touching the work. No splitting is
allowed on the floors and abundant
cuspidors are provided for the work.

one great point in favor of the plant
and it's product, as it insures cigars
which are not only good smoking but
sanitary as well.

work of the factory but if anyone is
skeptical as to the Importance of the
institution and as to the vast amount
of value it adds to the resources of our
city, let them take trip through the
