SORROW IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
(The Columbia State)


Who would ever have thought it of
South Dakota, the place where divorces
are neatly tailored while you wait,
the state where the degree Of separa-
tion hangs suspended by as thin
hair as that which supported the sword
of Damocles? The legislature Of that
state has just destroyed all precedent
by passing a law requiring twelve in
stead of six months residence, as here
tofore. This is striking a blow at the
very vitals of the get-divorced-quick
industry.
The new law prescribes years res
idence in the state, and three months
residence in the county in which the
action is brought. No divorce suits
can be tried other than at the regular
terms Of court, thus doing away with
special terms of court brought about
by financial influence. This new law
does not apply to plaintiffs who were
married in that state and have lived
there since. The adoption will leave
Idaho, Nebraska, and Nevada the on
ly states in the union in which but
six months residence is required for
outsiders.
The new Dakota statute is not yet
an assured fact, for it has been sub
mitted to a referendum.
But woe to Sioux Falls, sorrow for
Yankton, grief for Bismarck, and tears
for Fargo when the law becomes op-
erative. The bars will lose business
the hotels will discharge half their
help, the fashions from the east will
slow down, the livery stables will
suffer, and the water in the Turkish
baths will dry up.

SPRING BEAUTY DIET.

For girls working in Offices oranges
are invaluable food, if they did but
know it. One after luncheon will piece
out that meal most satisfactorily, and
many times it would be possible to
have one of the fruit kept in a desk
drawer to be eaten in the afternoon
when one is tired, at the same time
not stopping work A little food is
a great stimulant when body and mind
are fatigued.
Green salads, such as lettuce, en-
dive, chicory, and the like are skin
whiteners and excellent food. They
are appetizing, and the oil eaten on
them is nourishing and fat making.
If one will finish her lunch or dinner
with good salad and cheese instead
of sweets she will be better off and
look better

beams, a shadow annihilates them.-
George Eliot.
Beauty is worse than wine-it intoX-
icates both the holder and the behold
er.-Zimmerman.
Neither walls, nor goods, nor any
thing is more difficult to be guarded

corner in Atlanta, gossiping The dis
cussion turned to a question of per-

Unfortunately, Jim's reputation for

sneeringly said:

DESIGNATING THE FLAG.
(The Western Advocate.)

(The Western AdvOcate.)
Two liquor dealers of Omaha were
prosecuted under the laws of Nebras-
ka on the charge Of selling beer bot
ties decorated with the national col
ors. They were fined $50 each, but
appealed to the state supreme court on
the alleged ground of the unconstitu-
tionality of the law. That court sus-
tanned the verdict, and the case was
carried to the supreme court Of the
United States, which has just confirm
ed the previous two decisions. In the
course Of his opinion, Justice Harlan
upheld strongly the right of the state
to protect the flag, the emblem of the
nations power, against indignities. He
maintained that the use Of the flag
as an advertisement on beer bottles
cheapens and degrades it. To prohibit
such use is no abridgment of persona
rights as contemplated under the con-
stitution.

THE JAMESTOWN STAMPS.
Bust of Pocahontas to Appear on Five
Cent Denomination.
(The New York Tribune.)

(The New York Tribune.)
Postmaster General Meyer has sign
ed an order for the issue of five-cent
jamestown Exposition stamp. This
completes the series of stamps to COM
memorate the celebration of the set
tlement at jamestown this summer,
orders having already been given for
one-cent and two-cent stamps.
The five cent stamp is intended pri-
marily for foreign letters. The pres
ence of foreign ships at Hampton
Roads, together with foreign tourists,
is taken as an assurance that there
will be a large demand for five-cent
stamp. The stamp will bear bust
of Pocahontas. 1t had been decided
that only one and two cent stamps
would be issued in connection with the
celebration, but the demand for some
special honor to Pocahontas induced
Postmaster General Meyer to reconsid-
er the decision of the department.
That a likeness of Pocahontas should
be selected for the foreign stamp is
thought especially fitting, as she was
the first Indian woman to go abroad.
Like the one and two cent stamps,
the five-cent stamp will be Of oblong
shape, differing in size from the Pan
American stamps by just one-sixteenth
of an inch The f1ve-cent stamp will
be printed in blue, the one-cent in
green, and the two-cent in red. The
one-cent stamp will bear a likeness Of
Captain John Smith and the two-cent
stamp a scene of the landing of the
jamestown settlers in 1907. All the
designs, which have been prepared by
the bureau of engraving and printing,
are highly ornamental, bearing, besides
the principal features, borders of pat
riotic emblems.
The stamps will be printed imme-
diately and will be placed on sale in
all postoff1ces in the United States on
the opening day of the exposition,
April 26.

LIGHTNING ROD AGENTS.
(The PHILADELPHIA Record.)

The Pennsylvania county papers are
warning farmers against a scoundrel
who has been operating new scheme
successfully. He is selling a stretch
er for barbed wire fencing. The ma
chine and section of fence is left
with farmers and contract signed
for SO, to be paid in case the stretch
er is accepted. The swindler never
again appears, but, later, the signer
is confronted with a note in the hand
for $500.

Can there legitimately be a Febru-

circumstances. That is to say, if you
happen to be voyaging across the Pa
cific at the end of February during

ton of menu cards, found one dated

it was a printers error, but he after

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and aue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In h%ue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
hues 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 fue 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.

FIue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In ScFnapps 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 hue 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 fue
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 of tobacco 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'c chew
