JUST A GENTLE HINT.
One Remedy Appearances Indicated
NobIeman Had Never Tried.

The carl of Surrey. afterward elev-
enth duke of Norfolk, who was no.
torious gourmand and hard drinker
and leading member of the Beef
steak club, was SO far from clearly in
his person that his servants used to
avail themselves of his fits Of drunken
ness-which were pretty frequent, by
the way-for the purpose Of wash
ing him. On these occasions they
stripped him as they would corpse
and performed the needful additions.
He was equally notorious for his
horror of clean linen. One day. on
his complaining TO Dudley North at
his club that he had become a per-
feet martyr to rheumatism and tried
every possible remedy without sue
cess the latter wittily replied:
Pray, my lord, did you ever try
a clean shirt?"

FAMILY FOOD.
Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No
Cooking.

A little boy down in N G. asked his
Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam
lily.
She says Grape-Nuts was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food by
the advice of his physician. She
says:
They derive so much good from it
that they never pass a day without
using it. While 1 was there l used the
Food regularly. / gained about Is
pounds and felt so we'll that when I re-
turned home began using Grape Nuts
in our family regularly
My little Is months old baby short
ly after being weaned was very i'll
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and we tried every
thing. She became so emaciated that
it was painful to handle her and we
thought we were going to lose her.
One day happy thought urged me to
try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm
milk.
We'll, it worked like a charm and
she began taking it regularly and i'm
provement set in at once. She is now
getting well and round and fat as fast
as possible on Grape-Nuts.
sometime ago several of the family
were stricken with LaGrippe at the
same time, and during the worst stages
we could not relish anything in the
shape OF food but Grape-Nuts and
oranges, everything else nau4eated us.
I'VE all appreciate what your ia
nous food has done for our family"

Why Advertising Pays.

"You will be pressed for money
Oftener because you have no advertis-
ing bills to pay than because you
have" observes the Buffalo News.
big advertising bills and big bank
balances grow, together, out of the
same publicity campaigns" The mer-
chant who holds down his expense &C.
count by cutting out advertising saves
money just the way the railroads
would if they should stop buying coal
for their locomotives. Without coal
the wheels won't turn; without pub
licity trade comes to standstill 1t
pays to throw silver out of the window
that gold may come in at the door,

her be better girl. Here is the
prayer which the youngster made I'M

VIII Fit up a Hall.

The Buck Kitchin Camp OF the Con-
federate Veterans and the local chapter
OF the Daughters Of the Confederacy
will fit up hall in the old Main Street
Hotel in which the old soldiers Will
hold their monthly meetings.
This Will be a great convenience for
the old soldiers, and whoever makes
contribution to it Will be aiding in a
cause that will give comfort to the old
soldiers who years ago stood in the
forefront OF danger in the discharge
Of patriotic duty.
This is the livest camp in this coun-
ty, we believe, and perhaps one OF the
livest in the State, and the old soldiers
deserve considerations at the hands of
the community.

FLUE CURING IMPROVES TOBACCO ike
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
FI'se Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma 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 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 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 f1ue 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.

A New Year
Resolution.

Resolve t h a during
the year Of 1907 you will
deposit your income in the
bank and pay all bills by
check. At the end Of the
year, or at any future
time, you can refer to your
bank and check books, see
Just what your income
/ was, the amount of your
]. expenditures, what they
were for, and you have a
receipt for all payments
made. Just try this plan
for a year. We do not
think that you will want
to go back to the old hap
hazard and risky plan of
carrying your money in
your pocket and paying
| bills with cash. No chance
\ of an error in making
change no chance of be,
ing robbed and an absolute
record of every transac-
ton.

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is fue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, fimsy, 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 flue
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 is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to PI.oo per pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc. per pound in SC. cuts, strictly
10 and IS cent plugs.
