Tobacco Habit
 Dangerous

says Doctor Connor, formerly of Johns Hopkins hospital. Thousands of men suffering from fatal diseases would be in perfect health today were it not for the deadly drug Nico- tine. Stop the habit now before it's too late. It's a simple process to rid yourself of the tobacco habit in any form. Just go to any up-to-date drug store and get some Nicoto1 tablets; take them as directed and 10; the pernicious habit quickly vanishes. Druggists refund the money if they fail. Be sure to read large and in teresting announcement by Doctor Connor soon to appear in this paper.
 It tells of the danger of nicotine pois-

 meantime try Nicoto1 tablets; you will

Ira U e Lette

OF all the animals deified in the
" east none is regarded with more
awe than Ny Lord Tiger. Especially
throughout siam and Indo-China. the
tiger Is king. shrines are built and
sacrifices made to him. he Is as sacred
from the attack Of the natives as is
the White Elephant Of Siam.
II there are fewer tigers in this
part Of the east today, II is due large
y to the efforts Of western sportsmen
who occasionally can persuade, 5rioe,
or threaten a few natives to aid them
in hunt Any such lack Of respect
is, however, looked upon frOwningly
that the tiger will forget the exact
member only the community.
Native reverence goes so far as TO
allow a tiger to prowl undisturbed
about a village night after night, at
lacking and sometimes killing those so
unfortunate as to cross his path. IN
the day the sacred beast retires TO his
mountain domain where he stays en-
tirely hidden until nightfall
It is obvious that the royal tiger
rules entirely by fear. AWeinspiring
he Is himself, and his supremacy Is
helped along by the attitude OF the
natives. To the tiger are attributed
all manner Of supernatural powers. 1t
is held that he always knows and
tracks down those who offend him; he
can even turn himself into a human
being, the better 70 seek out his
enemies.
