Senator Rayner's recent speech on
the Roosevelt policies Of centraliza-
ton and imperialism has directed at
tention to the Importance of the dem
ocratic party taking n square stand
against every encroachment by tho
president upon the powers of con-
gress Of the courts and against every
invasion by the federal government
OF the rights of the states. The pres
ident has raised the issue squarely as
to whether the form of government
instituted by the constitution is to
survive or whether while the form of
a republic is preserved it is to be con-
verted into an empire in which one

q / have a twenty-five mile route, on
which / spend an average Of z hours
per day. 1t takes me 8 hours and as
minutes to make the first IL miles Of
my route, and 8 hours and l5 minutes
to make the remaining 13 miles /;
which shows how different the conii.
ton Of the different parts Of the road
is. If the first part Of my route was
in as good condition as the last part,
[ could make the trip 45 minutes
quicker, and with much more ease.
Now we know it is becoming offen-
sive ito some of the patrons on our
route to be continually nagging at
them about the bad roads in their
section, but we will be forced to howl
until conditions are bettered: Pa
irons, you owe it to yourselves, to the
rural carriers and to the civil service
system in general, to keep the roads
in good repair, in order that you may
get the best of service. You say it is
impossible for you to keep the roads
in perfect condition with the few
hands you have. Well, possibly so !;
but you can at least keep them in
comparatively good fix with very lit
tie work at the right time and at the
right places. The main trouble with
parts Of my route is the side bitches
are not kept open, and consequently,
the road-bed is soon torn up and
mud holes form in the middle of the
road where the water is allowed to
collect. Now I have not a few pa
irons on my route who take it upon
themselves to look after the roads
near their houses, and just with lit
tie care at the right time they keep
them in first class order. I have one
patron especially Ga widower too,
who is exempt from road duty), who
takes such interest in the rural ser
vice that he goes over the road for a
mile after every hard rain and fills
up the holes and ruts that are eating
out, and takes the RATS out of the
bitches; and as result of his faith
full efforts with one half days work
by the road hands during the year,
that is the best piece of road over
which l travel. May more of our good
patrons and even those that are not
quite so good, follow this good gen
tleman's example, then we will prom
ise you that you will hear no more
kicks from lis about bad roads, aud
there will be no more threats of a
discontinuance Of your route on ac-

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 way is 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 developes 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, aue cured tobaccos.

flu CURING IMPROVES TOBACCO LIKE
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
FIue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Tast
Found In Sehnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger

Hundreds Of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is flue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco: one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
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 wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind oftobacco yom are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to P1.ooper pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc. per pound in sc. cuts, strictly
10 and IS cent plugs.

NO MORE CATARRH

"Thereis no need of catarrh in
Monroe City," says l. M. Wood
''if people will only observe
the law OF commonsense.
The great success of Hyomei
in the treatment of catarrhal
troubles is responsible for this
statement of L. M, Woods.
Such is the quick relief and per.
manent cure from this treat
ment that he sell it under an
absolute guarantee to refund
the money if it does not do all
that is claimed for it.
Hyomei is different from all
other treatments or medicines
for catarrhal trouble. It fol.
lows Natures plan for curing
diseases of the throat and lungs,
by bringing healing medication
right to the very spot where
the disease germs exist, killing
all catarrhal germs and pre-
venting their growth.
Remember that Hyomei is
sold by L. Nj. Wood under a
guarantee that it will cost
nothing unless it cures.
