There is real pleasure in chewing the best tobacco gEown-where the best tobacco grows-in the famous Piedmont Country.
 Only choice selections Of this well-matured and thoroughly cured tobacco is used in making sCHNAPPS. That why SCHNAPPS and others of the Reynolds brands, as shown by the Internal Revenue statistics for fiscal yea, made the wonderful growth of g.. and one- quarter million pounds, CT a net gain Of one-thUd e the entire increased consumption cf chewing and smoking tobaccos in the United States.
 Evidently, chewers cannot resist the ehavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS because SCHNAPPS cheers them more than any other chewing to- bacco, and every man that chews SCHNAPPS passes the good thing along-one cheWer makes other chewers-unul the fact is now es- tabished that there arc many more

SIGNS OF HARD WINTER.

A Pennsylvania seer who claims
to be able to read and understand the
book of nature" predicts an unusu-
ally hard winter this year, and one
which for severity and lasting quail
ties will surpass anything of the kind
we have endured in the last three de-
cades- According to this seer the
signs are all around him and speaks
in language beautifully plain to him.
For instance, the corn h1sks are very
thick and the stalks lean to the West
The geese, ducks and chickens are
growing a thick coat of down under
their feathers and their feet are grad
ually taking on a bony substance to
better protect them from the frost,
ice and snow. The owls are seeking
the deepest recesses of the woods a
month carrier than usual while the
squirrels are laying in sweet potatoes
as we'll as nuts for winter provisions.
He tells us that experienced farmers
whose bunions and chin whiskers
have marched behind a pair of pillow
handles for nearly half century have
observed with a knowing look thai
toad-stools on old logs have wrinkles
on them, and when this last happened
the winter was so cold the boots Of
the farmers turned up at the toes like
skates, and the bark split on the north
side of the beech trees
We are not disposed to doubt that
| the Pennsylvania seer knows exactly
what he is talking about but we re
gret that he does not mention several
other unfailing signs OF an extremely
rigorous winter The wrinkles on the
| toad-stool is a pretty sure sign, but
+, all doubt as to the character OF the
| winter that IS coming is removed
when two distinct curls are seen in
the tail Of the October 'possum. ana
| on moonlit nights humpbacked rab-
| bits are heard drumming on hollow
] logs with their hind feet and splitting
| the juice OF mullen weed between
/ their teeth. When these things hap
pen and the skin of very black
negro looks ashy it is time to see that
/ the coal bin is filled and to rake the
family cloths chest for heavy socks
and hannels. For the signs may be
accepted as warning that old Boreas
/ is going to come down straight from
! Pierce's Mill and give us freezing
weather from November to late in the
! spring.

Easy Way to Cure II.

Take care of the stomach and you win
have little need for the doctor.
When the stomach begins to show
signs of disorder; when the food digesta
slowly and with discomfort; when yom
have heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy
you are in condition that needs atten-
ton.
Prickly Ash Bitters corrscts the dis
ordered stomach by strengthening and
toning up the digestive organs, driving
the badly digested food into the bowels
and thence out of the system.
Constipation is nearly always pres
ent when the stomach becomes sour or
disordered. Prickly Ash Bitters con-
tains the medicinal qualities which act
as restorative and regulator for the
stomach and bowels. 1t strengthens the
digestive organs, cures constipation and
prevents the return of bilious conditions.
Thousands of people who have re-
ceived lasting benefit from this great
remedy willingly testify to its power in
curing indigestion, constipation and kid
ney trouble.
az suffered from constipation for years, and
tried many remedies, but Prickly Ash Bitters is

good. Through its in good health
