CHEW TOBACCO AND RUMIN-

And You'll Make a Good Senator, De-
Clares President Woodrow VIII

The value Of chewing tobacco as a help to
ruminative habits. that lead to good statesman
ship was one of the things that Woodrow Wilson
president of Princeton University, touched upon
in his lecture yesterday at Columbian University
ON The Senate of the United States" DR. VII
son was pointing out the fact that the Western
Senator as a rule is more valuable than the
Eastern man, because he came from a part of the
country that is productive OF thought. In the
East. according to DR.. Wilson. men have no
IF you live in a place. ~ said the president of
Princeton. where you can sit around a stove in
a country store and spit in a sawdust box you are
much more likely to have opinions than if you
live in New York. Whatever you may think of
the habit of chewing tobacco. I want to suggest
that chewing something leads to ruminative
habits If a man stops long enough between
sentences to chew. he is more likely to have
opinions that are of weight than if he does not.
There is something in the sawdust box.
People who have their heads buried in the
morning paper and in the evening paper in the
afternoon. have no ideas except those which the
newspapers give them. This is the kind
that are found in the East. where the people
think about nothing except what they see in the
newspapers and their business. In the West
this is not true. The Western Senator has time
to chew between sentences and consequently is
more likely to think those things which Of
value to his nation"

Special Agent of Agriculture.

w. L. Pryor, Of Laurel, special
field agent of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture for the
States of Mississippi, Alabama and
Tennessee, arrived in Jackson last
evening. Mr.. Pryor is just winding
up a tour Of three weeks, during
which time he has covered a large
portion of the three States in his
territory, where he has been engaged
in ascertaining the amount of spring
blowing and planting done to date
as well as conditions Of pastures and
moving lands, and of wheat and
rye where these crops are grown.
Mr.. Pryor states that next month
the inquiries will embrace that OF
cotton acreage. This is one Of the
most important reports of the year
and requires a vast amount of work
and inquiry. Beginning on the first
Of May he will travel in all parts of
the cotton raising sections of the
States EN- bracing his territory, visit
ing farms and plantations, and will
interview farmers, merchants ferti-
lizer and agricultural implement
dealers, country bankers and others
who are supposed to have know
ledge Of this grert Southern staple.
The report embracing the acreage
in cotton will be issued b. the
Bureau of Statistics early in June,
and is one of the most important
reports Of the year.-Jackson

Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps
Quality Only On the Outside
Of the Plug

Hundreds Of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacco. The outside of the imitation
plugs of tobacco is fiue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filed
with cheap, fimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two chews of such to-
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made SO much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-
latiOn Of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A
great many Of these limitations are

But for cotton, " says the Spring
field Republican, this country
should probably be running be
hind in payment of current foreign
obligations in merchandise, and
might be shipping some gold. -
All other staple exports during the
month of March fell below the
March record of last year, but cot
ton last month went SIC, 529, 800
above the export cotton record Of
March 1906. The effect of this ac-
cording to the Republican, was to
overcome the loss in other lines of
staple shipments and leave a net
gain over SD, 700, OOO-which it
terms another stroke of American
luck Thus it seems cotton Is the

for every farmer TO place his name

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
famation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Official Reunion Badges,
Headquarters United Confed-
crate Veterans, New Or
leans, La, April 10, 1907

crate Veterans, New Or
leans, La, April 10, 1907.
Circular Orders No. Z.
The need for an Official Confeder-
ate Reunion Badge that will locate
the wearer by division, Fcamp and
place of residence, has been keenly
felt by every veteran who has ever
attended a reunion of the United
Confederate Veteran Association
Such badge, the Adjutant-General
is now prepared to place in the
hands Of the Veterans and the Camps
at a nominal price.
Heretofore it has been the prac-
tice of the Division of each Camp to
have badges printed for the use of
the members. This entailed a
double expense, multiplied badges,
and created no end of confusion in
addition to the annoyance to the
Veterans, the Adjutants of Camps
and Of Divisions. There was no
uniformity in size, shape or color;
in many instances the location of
the Camp was omitted, and rarely,
if ever, did the Division appear on
the Camp badge. Local badges
were frequently exchanged between
comrades, and where several badges
were worn, it was impossible to tell
from them, to what Camp or Divi-
sion the veteran belonged.
The Official Badge Overcomes this
difficulty and locates the wearer at
a glance
The badge consists of a white me-
dallion in the centre Of which is the
Battle Flag. To the left of the flag
are figures 1861; to the right, 1865;
and on the edges, "Oficial Reunion
Badges. y On the white pendant,
in clear, distinct letters, is the Di-
vision to which the wearer belongs;
on one red, the number and name
of the Camp and the place where it
is located; and on the other the
name of the city in which the Re
union is held, with the date Of the
same.
1t is neat and comprehensive. 1t
tells the story at glance. 1t is a
great improvement on the badge of
last year, and will be highly priced
as a most desirable souvenir of the
Reunion.
The badges viii be supplied at the
following prices, including postage:
For 10 or less, p cents each. In
lots of so and up to 100, at 20 cents
each. In lots of 100 and upwards,
at Is cents each. At these prices
the badges are easily within reach
of every Camp and Veteran, and
each comrade should have one as a
pleasing reminder of the Reunion.
As the Official Badge can be pro-
cured at General Headquarters only,
orders should be sent in at once so
that delays and disappointments
can be avoided. Fill out the en-
closed order blank, and forward
with money order as soon as posi-
BILE, and the hodges will be sent
direct from the factory.

DELICATE CHILDREN.
Advice to Aberdeen Mothers Who
Have Delicate Children.

If we could only make all the
fathers and mothers in Aberdeen re-
gard what we say there would be
fewer sickly, delicate children on our
streets.
Rapidly growing children need a
great deal of vitality. They grow
fast, play hard, and work too hard at
school, and many such children are
tired, thin, pale and worn when they
ought to be robust and rosy.
Every rundown, growing child in
Aberdeen should take Vinol, our de-
licious cod liver preparation without
oil. II requires almost no digestion
at all and cannot upset delicate weak
ened stomachs as do old-fashioned
cod liver oil and emulsions. Vinol
also contains peptonate of iron.
1t strengthens the digestive organs,
makes new vitality, sound flesh and
muscle tissue, strong bone structure
and pure, rich, red blood. VinoI fills
out hollow cheeks and makes thin
little arms and legs plump and round.
Mr.. Scrape of the Phoenix Drug
Co. said: 1--WE cannot recommend
Vinol too highly for puny, weak and
ailing children, TO build up the run
down, overworked, tired and debili
tated, or to give renewed vitality to
the aged, and we cheerfully refund
the money in every case where it
fails"
PHOENIX DRUG co.
NoTE-While we are sole agents for
Vinol in Aberdeen, it is now for sale
at the leading drug store in nearly
every town and city in the country.
Look for Vinol agency in your town.
