HAVE CRAZE FOR FORMULA.
Smokers Follow Fashions In the Use
Of Tobacco.

Make me up package of tobacco

win Booth" said the man with a
southern accent. THAT is the third
man who has asked for that kind OF
tobacco to-day" said the dealer. 1T
is strange that people from remote
parts of the country as well as New
Workers make a fad of buying the
same brand of tobacco that Booth
smoked And it isn't always the Booth
mixture that they want. l have filed
away the formulas for mixing the
favorite tobacco of many famous per-
sons. Smokers the country over have
heard of this collection of recipes and
one feature of every mans trip to
New York is to try pipeful of some
big mans favorite tobacco. In most
cases this special mixture is so
strong that the nerves of the average
smoker cannot stand 1t. He has to
give up after a few pipefuls and go
back to a popular mixture, but he has
the satisfaction of having had the ex'
perience. The New York Sun
