TOBACCO TAGS BRING fine PRESENTS.
American Tobacco Company Redeem
ing Tags From Many Brands.


ing Tags From Many Brands.
According to reports from the
local dealers in tobacco more people
are saving tobacco tags than even
before in the history of the giving
of presents in exchange for tobacco
tags. This tremendous increase if
tag saving is due to the action or
the American Tobacco Company IN
offering remarkable list of valu-
able presents in return for tags
from various popular tobaccoes.
Such brands as Standard Navy,
Horse Shoe, Sailors Pride, Spear
Head, Byzantine. Pick. Big Four,
Old Honesty, and about a dozen
others, bear tags which can be ex-
changed for presents. An idea of
what can be accomplished by so far
reaching a cooperative system is
gathered from such sample offers as
the giving OF an English Steel Razor
for only so tags.
Reports in the tobacco trade in
dictate that dealers throughout the
country are laying IN stocks of
presents in order to be able to meet
the rising boom in tobacco tag saw
ing. In places where the dealers
are not supplied with presents, the
American Tobacco Company is

Woman In the Sporting World.

Woman In the Sporting World.
In those forms of athletics which
tend to making fancy records women

men. They do show power and en-
4durance in athletic feats which depend
upon health and vitality. at the re-
cent Vassar exercises women showed

Jump. Women can swim well, and 1t

Woman has capacity for physical en-
efurance, and If the real purpose Of

But, although, she talks athletics and
yet produces no star record, If she
maintains health her devotion to sport
IS not a waste of time or energy. 1t Is
possible to make a record at the ex-

American farmers cannot be blamed
for the exorbitant prices Of beef, eggs,
vegetables and other products which
go into cold storage. They do not re-
ceive the fancy prices which the con-
sumers are forced to pay or go with
out. The trusts see to it that no one
but themselves gets in on the division
of profits.

[ 6 WOMAN -

I had no sympathy with women who
worked in stores or other industrial
| institutions for starvation wages
when there were thousands of homes
in which they could get employment

Women competing with men simply

MONEY AND GOOD DRESSING.
Spending money is not all that
gives woman the reputation for
good dressing Some very dowdy
women are lavish in expenditure, and
one almost feels like taking them in
hand. Great dressmakers like Worth
have refused the patronage of just
such\ women, knowing that genius
would be wasted on them. They are
no credit to either dressmaker or
milliner. Another class of women
are no encouragement to save money
In this direction, because they sacri-
fee good looks to economy. It is a
fact that renovating old dresses often
equals the price of new ones, without
the result of fresh wearing apparel.
A prudent woman would realize
this and discard all but clothing that
will bear close inspection after it has
been freshened. Nothing is so detri-
mental to ones appearance as an air
of shabbiness, and it clings to made
over clothing in the majority of cases.
4 have heard arguments for and
against buying materials that can be
made over, but the answer is found
in the eyes of the beholder When
a costume is recognized as an old ac-
quaintance it is not success, no mat
ter how much money has been spent
on it.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

GIFTS TO THE BARBER.
One That Was Out Of the Usual
Brought IN BY Man From
Long Island.

Cash Is not the only shape in which
gifts come to the barber. Here was
one in the form OF spray of apple
blossoms brought in by customer
who has a country place out some
where ON Long Island. The barber
had put It In a glass Of water and
set 1t In central place by itself
among the bottles and things on the
shelf In front of his chair-a spray
OF apple blossoms, with all the apple
blossoms delicate beauty.
1t Is no reproach to the barber to
say that at first he didn't know what
they were, for he was born AID

matter there were plenty Of custom,

stance, one customer coming in along

in the chair, asked of the barber:

these were apple blossoms, sure
