KAISER BILL.

(ContrlDuted).
With wars great noises sounding
And tho dead soldiers strewn around
Can tho Kaiser hear tho noises,
Or is no deaf to every sound?
Can he hear tho mothers crying,
AS they mover cried of yoro?
Can he bear the nations dying
AS they never died before?
He only cares TO conquer,
Conquer, conquer is his all.
Does he remember that Napoleon
And even Caesar had their fall?
If 'twerc only other nations dying
We would not think it strange,
That he could bear the mothers cry
ing
And still his heart would not change
But with his own milton dying
As it never died before,
The Kaiser does not hear the crying
Hns he n heart my more?

He knows what the u. S. cnn do.
He sees our victory before US
And Kaiser Bill will meet his Water.

How Cigar Stocks Are Kept Fresh For Indefinite Period

/ CeHigars have to be taken care Of as

vegetables or beer" said D. NJ Sup
perstein, sales manager for NJ a.
Gunst and the General Cigar Co, Inc.
which have recently established a
wholesale distributing branch and a
retail store here. While we do not
have TO keep cigars and tobaccos in
ice boxes. we must have a humidor
that is as wei built as a refrigerator,
and they require just as much at
tention-
Cigars require more moisture than
cigarets or tobacco, hence we must
keep them in separate humidors. Al
most all Of our wholesale place on
West San Antonio street in the Fisher
hotel is taken up with humidOr space
Tor the accommodation OF our goods.
Tobacco and cigars must have
moisture 70 keep them, but warm
moisture Is best-it must not be cold,
as for meats, fruits and other things
that have 70 be preserved with care
For the cigars, we put wet bricks
in the top Of the humidor once a
week. All week we soak bricks in
water and then IL takes them a week,
after they are put in. 10 emit all they
contain This mixes with the air in
the humidor and keeps the cigars in
proper condition.
For the tobaccos and cigarets.
while moisture is necessary, they do
not need and cannot have as much
as the cigars get For these. we put
nothing inside the humidor-just
build the humidor and put the Gig
arets and tobaccos inside. You might |
not think that moisture would gen
crate in a climate Of this kind. but It |
does. enough OF it to furnish all the /
moisture cigaTets or tobacco will /
need.
