WHAT SMOKERS SHOULD KNOW

The average smoker knows what
kind of cigar best suits his taste
but he does not always know some
things that would be of great assist.
ance to him in selecting just what he
wants. For instance, ask the first
man you see how many classes Of
cigars there are, and he will immed'
lately answer: "Two-Imported and
domestic" AS a matter of fact, there
are three-Imported, Clear-Havana
and Domestic.
Imported cigars are those manu-
factured exclusively in Havana by
native workmen from Cuban leaf
which is the finest tobacco leaf in the
world.
Clear-Havana cigars are made in
this country, principally in Key West
and Tampa, Florida, from tobacco
grown in Cuba, by cigar makers who
were born in Cuba, where they learn
ed their trade.
Domestic cigars are manufactured
from combinations of various kinds
of leaf The best have an Havana
filler and a Sumatra wrapper. Others
are made of tobacco grown in this
country from Havana seed and called
seed leaf me cheaper kinds OF
Domestic cigars are composed entire
ly of seed leaf, both wrapper and
filler
While many experienced smokers
prefer the imported cigars, cigars OF
domestic manufacture have the larg
est sale.
Whatever your particular smoke
taste may be, you can always suit it
perfectly at the National Cigar
Stands, which have been established
in over 1000 drug stores throughout
the country, where the finest brands
of Imported, Clear-Havana and DOM
estic cigars are on sale side by side
under National Cigar Stands guar

Scientific Whale Catching.

The biggest catch of whales nowadays
ID no longer from the old sperm oil whale,
but from the blue whale, the largest OF
all the whale kind. although not by any
means the best oil yielder. But the slaugh-
ter OF the sperm whales and the right
whales have compelled the present day
whale fishers to take to the less product
I've species. The present methods OF cap
turing the whales and Of getting ont the
oil are so superior over the crude methods
OF 90 years ago that In the long run the
profits Of today are surely equal TO those
made In the old days of whale fishing.
In the early days vessel OF hundred
tons or Whereabouts was considered big
whaler, hut nowadays smart little steam
ers of COO or TOO tons are used. and they
can steam IS knots an hour. Also the
whale Is captured by seamen travelling
comfortably In power launches, which
run right up alongside the whale. The
whales today are holstcd by patent cleo
trical windlasses, and the blubber Is tried
out In patent furnaces. Then the oil Is
no longer headed up in greasy casks or
barrels, but Is pumped in and out Of
great cast iron tanks. The best whaling
vessels of today are owned aad operated
by the Norwegians.
