A Clear Store Secret.

Every tobacconist has on his count
er a machine for cutting of the ends
of cigars. These machines are popu-
lar for the reason that they pay for
themselves many times over every
year.
The ends that smokers cut OFF are
carefully gathered from the counter,
and it takes but a few hundred Of
them to make a pound of good tobac-
co. This can be sold for 40 or so
cents.
Some cigar store clerks are very
solicitous to see that the patron does
not overlook the cutting machine
They push it towards him, and he is
impressed with their politeness. These
clerks have for a perquisite the ma
chimes cuttings. This adds several
dollars weekly to their salaries.

Rheumatism

Ihave found q tried and tested cure for Rheu-
matisml Not remedy that will straighten the
distorted limbs of chronic cripples. nor turn bony
growths back to flesh again. That is impossible.
But can now surely kill the pains and panss OF
this deplorable disease.
In Germany-with Chemist In the City Of
Darmstadt-I found the last Ingredient with
which DR.. Shops Rheumatic Remedy was made
. perfected. dependable prescription. WithouS
that last ingredient. successfully treated many.
many cases of Rheumatism but now. at last ituni-
formly cures all durable cases Of this heretofore
much dreaded disease. Those sand-like granular
wastes. found in Rheumatic Blood. seem TO dissolve
and pass away under the action Of this remedy a.
freely as does sugar when added to pure water.
And then. when dissolved. these poisonous wastes
freely pass from the system. and the cause OF
Rheumatism is gone forever. There Is now no
real need-no actual excuse to suffer longer with

THE POISON
PHYSICIAN TELLS OF QUALITIES

New Clay Pipe, Easily ProcurabIe, as
Good as Any-AIl Worthless When

Physicians are often asked whether
there really is any virtue in what are

The action can be clearly demon

The saying that If a stone sticks

is within reach till 1t becomes satura-

For instance, a new red brick will
absorb one pint of water. After the
venom has been taken into the circu-
lation the maidstone is worthless; but
as the victim 1t usually filled with
whisky or alcohol at the same time
the stone is being used the spirits may
counteract the effect of the poison.
Il know of a stone which has a wide
reputation, and makes a good living
for the family owning It, They never
let 1t go out of their sight, and when
the victim can not be taken to the
stone one member of the family can
be hired to take the stone to the
victim. In addition to travelling ex.

ton and 50 extra for each hour that
the stone sticks.
This stone is busy a large part of
the time. Not long since the stone
held to a mans leg for over one hun
dred hours, yet the man died. His
life could have been saved if depend

the stone"

Few Good Stories Written.

Since the world began" says
Julian Hawthorne, there have been
written perhaps 100 supremacy good
works of fiction. Assume that the
first of these was the Had, now about
5000 years old. One hundred good
stories in 5000 years is story every
generation. Since the battle of Wa
terloo. then. there have been rather
less than three OF them. probably
we are overstating the number rather
than the contrary. When you consider
the matter, three supremacy good
stories In a hundred years is very
high average"

FLUE CURING IMPROVES TOBACCO ike
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
rue curing develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
round In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hummer

There are three ways used by far
merS TOR curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely. sun
cured, air cured and f1ue cured The
old and cheap way is called air cured:
the later discovery and improved wav
IS called f1ue cured. In fue-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, lust as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.

There had been a ceaseless drizzle
since early morning, the fine, steady
rain sinking with penetrating insist
ence into every crack and chink. Mrs
Darlington had eschewed cab and car
alike, pressing on against the rain
with tight lips and unshrinking. pain
dark eyes. Her clothes hung limp
and dripping about her ankles and
the thin soles of her shoes were
soaked through.
She threaded her way carefully
through the crowds, reaching the
entrance of great building a little
out OF breath, but more from excess
OF emotion than any physical tax.
AT the elevator. she waited few
moments before going in; her task
was a difficult one, and she felt the
need OF all her poise Finally, she
pushed the bell and entered.
Third floor"
Now for the first time. she be-
came conscious of a miserable sense
OF chilliness; her damp clothes OBJ
pressed her terribly and she shivered
in nervous dread. After all, had she
the strength to go through the task
she had set herself? The twelve
months of isolation and waiting in
stead OF palliating, had only increased
her wretchedness. In all that time.
she had not heard a word from Oar
rinSton; he was still as unrelenting as
ever-as he would always be. Then
morbid fancy assailed her; per
haps he was dead.-
She was standing in front of Judge
Softon's Office, her mind in a panic
of uncertainty. But suddenly she set
her lips and walked in.
rs Mr.. Soften in?" She addressed
the clerk who came forward at her
entrance.
Yes, madam; but at present he's
engaged. If you will have a seat,
you can see him in about thirty min
utes."
Mrs. Darlington sank into a chair
with sigh of relief At least she
should have time to collect her scat
tered nerves and induce a little color
to her white cheeks.
Almost before she was aware of II
she was shaking hands with Archie
Soften and he was looking into her
face with his kind, genial penetrat-
ing eyes. He had been an old college
chum of her husbands, and a lifetime
friend of her own. She felt instinct
lively that she was doing the safest
thing in turning to him now.
Archie" she began, plunging into
the subject, you don't have to ask
why I'm here?"
Il am not very much surprised. of
course, after your letters, but"
'Well?"
You are fully resolved upon this
course?"
Fully and finally"
Soften waited a moment before he
spoke. Then he said:
IF such is the case, you will have
to go over the whole thing with me.
Esther, before I can give you legal
opinion"
All over everything?"
He nodded.
THAT is the only thorough, the only
right way" he answered.
Mrs. Darlington drew in a deep
breath and looked cautiously about
her. At last she spoke:
"Of course, If it is necessary, !
shall do so. But there are some
things that l never wished to tell"
"A lawyers mind is pretty safe re-
ceDtacle."

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps: the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is flue 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 of tobacco y0w 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.ooper pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc. per pound in sc. cuts, strictly
10 and IS cent plugs.
