SMOKING TOBACCO
FACTS FROM THE
EnCYCL0 PAEDlA
The Use of Flavorings Deter
mines Difference In Brands

The Encyclopedia Britannica says
about the manufacture of smoking to-
bacco: :. ON the Continent and in
America, certain sauces are employed
:. the use of the sauces is to improve
the favour and burning qualities Of the
leaves, Which indicates that smokers
enjoyment depends as much upon the
favoring used as upon the tobacco.
Your nose is a sure guide in the mat
ter of favorings. Try this simple test
with several tobacco brands: pour some
and smell. You wifi notice a distinct
difference in the fragrance of every
brand. The tobacco that smells best to
you viii smoke best in your pipe, you
can rest assured.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash Of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel Is Quicksilver aud Acts

Ca'omel loses you a day! You

1t crashes into sour bile like dyna-

CO oh,e! attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottle or Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t make syou
sick the next day; so loses you a
days work. Dodson's Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you feel
great. Give 1t to the children be-
caues it is perfectly harmless and
doesn't gripe.-Adv.
