Lewis Single Binder Cigar
Factory

What is probably the biggest lot of
all fancy grade tobacco held by any
factory in the United States has just
been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, of

is sufficient to last the factory more
than two years. An extra price was
paid for the selection. Smokers of
Lewis Single Binder Cigars will appre-
ciate this tobacco.

EVERETT TRUE'S LECTURE.

Everett True, the fat reformer delivered short but
most sensible and most convincing lecture the other day.
1t given under the title 1.-The Ouburss of Everett
True, but the title might well have been Zone Way to
Keep Cool
According to the picture Mr. True strolling down
the street. smoking cigar, feeling comfortable both men
tally and physically and paying attention to the hot
summer sun. But he met an acquantance-not friend
for Everett would not have such his list of
frends-from whose face the perspraton dripping
like water from share of street railway stock
"Well Everett" asked the acquaintance els it hot
enough for you!''
Eyes" replied Mr.. True in his usually emphatic voice.
And then he proceeded to the hot end of his cigar
all over his acquaintance's face.
The Everett True picture intended especially to be
humorous but there was much good horse sense in it
humor.
Not little of the discomfort of hot weather is due to
the mental attitude You start out early in the morning
when the air is cool and pleasant by wondering if it will
be hot day. few minutes of this and you feel certain
it will be hot day. You wish few times that it would
rain about and cool the air. But it won't
it probably won't RAIN you certain it will
be a scorching hot dayand 10 and behold it's hot day
already.
You leave the house for work and meet neighbour who
asks SIS it hot enough for your? and before you reach
your work several other persons ask you the ques
ton. And naturally you begin to suffer from the heat
All day long you keep thinking about the heat and
ing yourself that you uncomfortable. How could you
be otherwisei
Try another plan or these hot DAYS Begin the day by
enjoying the fresh morning air Don't worry about what
you will have at Assure yourself that you not
uncomfortable, remember that amount of wishing will
make cold; don't forget that you will have to
stand high temperature and resolve that you will Then
notice how much more comfortable you will be.
If you meet the pest who asks "Is it hot enough for
you? tell him. 'No.' Tell yourself ''No' If the pest
insists that is unbearaby hot apply the Everett True
methods.

was slugged and robbed by two
strangers who followed him from a
saloon and was hurled down the
rocky river bank at point where
the guard rails were removed. He
landed astride of the submerged
timber, which kept his head above
the water, while the remainder of
his body was immersed in the cold
river. he police believed he had
staggered off the street and down
the river bank while drunk. Math-
ews says he was robbed of $25 and
is left practically penniless by his
experience. as he was turned over
to the county physician for treat
ment this morning.
His scalp wound is a bad one and

ties who notified the police. Ser
