There is Real Satisfaction in
Every Puff of Prince Albert

Every time you smoke Prince Albert
cite you will like it better. You will like
it's flavor, and you will like its whole
some aroma; you will particularly like it
because it will not bite your tongue or
parch your throat.
Prince Albert is the kind of smoke
men have sought for years. The patent
ed process by which this brand is made
has regolutionized pipe and cigarette to
bacco. No other tobacco ever was, or
can be, like Prince Albert.
Don't lose any time getting Prince AL
bert, for it will give you more tobacco
satisfaction than you have ever before
had. You can smoke it all day and your
tongue will not be sore.
The whole thing is to know for your
self just how good Prince Albert really is.
Sooner you buy tin for 10 cents, the
sooner you will understand that Prince
Albert will make your pipe and cigar
cite smoking more enjoyable than any
other tobacco you can buy.
To smoke all you want all day; to get
real tobacco satisfaction without a sore
tongue is just what you need in tobacco.
Prince Albert will prove true to every
statement made about it,. In cent bags
and 10 cent tins at stores that sell tobac-
cos.-Adv.

nothing herein shall be construed so
as to hereafter permit any person to
file an application for enrolment, in
any tribe where the date for filling
applications has been fixed by agree
ment between said tribe and the
United States"
And, whereas, lawyers and lobby
lists, representing claimants who
have little or no trace of Indian blood,
who were born without the tribe, who
failed to live with the tribe and as
sumo the burdens and responsibilities
of tribal citizenship, are demanding
legislation reopening the tribal rolls,
and have fraudulently, unlawfully
and otherwise collected large sums
of money for the purpose of pros
ecuting such claims.
Now, therefore, we petition con-
gress to keep faith with us and to
protect us against the wicked and un-
lawful claims and demands of those
who are seeking to reopen our rolls
and to take from us our property,
conserved by observing treaty stipu-
lations with the United States and
by assuming the burdens and hard
ships of early tribal citizenship.
Wherefore, the act of June 2S pro-
vides:
1T is further agreed that all funds
invested, in lieu of investment, treaty
funds, or otherwise, now held by the
United States, in trust for the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw tribes, shall be
