ADJUSTMENTS.
"Her Own Nay"


One of the lhappiest touches of
Clyde .Fitche's play, Her Own Way,
which will be seen here next Monday,
is the group of children drawn with
skill by Mr.. Fitch. Mr.. Fitch, always
passionateIy fond of children and
constantly making studies of them, has
invested the little ones in this, his
greatest play, with unusual charm.
The boys are thorongh-going boys and
no milk sops. The girls are women
in miniature. The little tot Toots is
the capricious ruler of the entire
household. The greatest children's
scene at the opening of the play has
been called the greatest scene of the
times seen in modern comedy. Speak
ing of it, a leading manager in New
York recently said: Such a scene
would have been impossible in any
foreign play. In the first place the
children of our: cousins across the
water in England are not allowed the
liberties permitted our own little
ones here and live in an entirely diff
ferent atmosphere. The children on
the continent have many of the same
restrictions as have the English, so
in the comedies of Pinero or Barrie,
it would be impossible to find the
charm that has been introduced into
this scene by our American play
right, Clyde Fitch. The dearest OF
these children is their fairy godmoth-
er, Georgiana Carley, played by Miss
Sylvia Lynden, Jules Murry's new
star.

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that Aook like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is 1ue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, fimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfytobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this fue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind oftobacco you are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps islike the tobacco chew
ers, formerly bought costing from 75c.
to PI 90 per pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc. per pound in SC. cuts, strictly

FLUE CURING IMPROVES ToBAccoLIKE
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
FIue Curing Develops the Stimulating Arpma and Taste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies tobacco Hunger

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap wayis called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In fue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, fue CURED tobaccos.
