LEWIS' "SINGLE BINDER."
A hand-made cigar fresh from the
table, wrapped in foil, thus keeping
fresh until smoked. A fresh cigar
made of good tobacco Is the ideal
■moke. The old, well cured tobaccos
used are ao rich In quality that many
who formerly smoked 10c cigara now
smoke Lewis' Single Binder Straight
5c. Lewis' Single Binder costs the
dealer some more than other Be cigars,
but the higher price enables this fac-
tory to use extra quality tobacco.
There are many imitations; don't be
fooled. There Is no substitute! Tell
the dealer you want a Lewis "Single
Binder."
Oallaa Man to Build Interurban.
Sh&wnee, Okla.—The taking of a
state charter by C. T. Edwards of |
Dallas, leading spirit in a company
that proposes to build Interurban rail-
roods in Oklahoma, gives Shdwnce
some assurance that two lines are j
soon to bo under construction here, !
one to Muskogee and the other to Ok- ,
lahoma City. The first will pass j
through Prague and Okmulgee and j
the second through Dale and McLoud, j
The estimated cost of the first hue |
Is $3,000,000 and of the second $1,000,- j
000.
Mr. Edwards is the man who built |
the interurban line between Fort i
Worth and Dallas, which is said to i
have been one of the most success- |
ful interurban undertakings in the |
southwest.
Not a Petrified Leg.
In one of the leading citiea of the
middle west a high church dignitary
is obsessed with the monomania that
one of his legs is gradually becoming
petrified. To test its condition he
j pinches it at frequent intervals. At
a dinner party of men and women he
made the usual test after the soup and
became greatly excited to find that he
felt no sensation from a most vigor-
ous pinch. "It has come, it has
come!" he cried in alarm; "at last
my leg is completely petrified!" The
matron sitting next to him whispered
hoarsely: "Excuse me; it is not pet-
rified and it is not yours! "—New York
Press.
Our Wonderful Language.
"Out of Bight in that gown, Isn't
she?" observed a gentleman in the
balcony, pointing to Mrs. de Koltay,
who occupied a front seat in one of
the lower tier of boxes.
"Out of sight? Well, hardly. It
strikes me it is the other way about,"
responded his companion dryly.
Which goes to show the elasticity
of the American language, which says
one thing and means another. It also

must respectfully but firmly decline

Hearing of the virtues of Grape-
Nuts and Postum, I commenced using
them in place of my usual breakfast of
coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit, and in
one week's time I was relieved of sour
stomach and other ills attending indi-
gestion. In a month's time my heart
was performing its functions naturally
and I could climb stairs and hills and
walk long distances.
"I gained ten pounds in this short
time, and niv skin became clear and I
completely regained my health and
strength. I continue to use Grape-
Nuts and Postum for I feel that I owe
my gootr health entirely to their use.
"There's n Reason."
"I like the delicious flavour of Grape-
Nuts and by making Postum accord-
ing to directions, it tastes similar to
mild high grade coffee."
