"Watch Us Crow" is the slogan
that the Danville Tobacco Warehouse
Company has chosen, and their growth
is most splendid. This house has just
closed one of the best weeks business
that it has ever enjoyed. The buyers
who have sold over its breaks are more
than pleased, they are delighted and
why shouldn't they be with the excess
lively high prices and the abnormal av-
erages they have received. Here are
the figures to back up what they claim:
20. 600 pounds last week sold at grand
average of $22 90 per hundred. Can
you beat it? Aye, can you even equal
it? One crop containing 2,2S5 pounds
sold for an average of $31.3O, and they
challenge any house in the state to
beat it, Other large crops sold almost
as high. The prices last week
simply staggered the sellers.
While only few of the crops are
shown here, there the just plenty OF
others which sold as well.
l. The Danville Tobacco Warehouse Com
pany has men of wide experience in
handling tobacco and they place it upon
the market to the very best of advant-
age. so that it challenges the admira-
ton of the buyer when he sees it. They
have an auctioneer who also knows to-
bacco and he hangs on basket until il
brings what it is worth, too, and that's
something worth considering. They
give you square deal and treat you
with the utmost courtesy.

his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and

nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no

would come off when l removed his

STATE TAKES HAND. IN FIGHT
New Jersey Leads In Advanced Legis.
latlon Designed to Check Speed
Of Tuberculosis.

What is designed by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
tion of tuberculosis as the most ad.
yanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state In the United
States, If not by any country in the
world. is found in a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey Legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu.
lations laid down by the state board
Of health concerning the prevention OF
their disease and thus become men.
ace to the health OF those with whom
they associate, shall be compulsorily
segregated by order Of the courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose.
If such patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations OF the institu-
ton In which he is placed, he may be
isolated or separated from other per.
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro.
vides that all counties in the state
OF New Jersey shall within six months
from April lst make provision in spe-
cial institutions for the care OF all
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub
sidize each county to the extent OF
So week for each person maintained
in these institutions, except those
who are able to pay for the cost OF
maintenance.
