Why?
Because Straight Cut tobacco "draws" much
more freely and evenly—and so yields ALL the
taste, and aroma and "body" that some ciga-
rettes keep shut in!
Not part of the flavor, mind you,but ALL of it!
Favorites, with their extra free-drawing
STRAIGHT CUT tobacco, will make this
difference plain to you, first puff. The words
"STRAIGHT CUT" are on the package.

Ideas are the steam dredges that

Theodore Roosevelt has added sev-

•aid: "The Chautauqua is the most
American Institution in America."
The Chautauqua tents are the can-
patriotism
racy, unite to applaud and cheer
while their platform orators cannon-
ade against the Verduns of bigotry,
stupidity, partisanism, and citizen-
ship-selfishness.
Ideas, not bullets and heart-stabs,
will give the world liberty and civilize
the Mexicanized brutality of the na-
tions of the earth.
The citizen who refuses to support
a Chautauqua for his home town is
missing an opportunity to be of ser-
vice to his community and a chance
to enlighten his mind and redeem his
little one-hotse soul.
Lincoln would have given all he
ever earned in his life as a splitter
of rails for a seat in the twentieth
century Chautauqua tent. The very
reasons why 6ome communities can-
not, or will not, support a Chautau-
qua or a lecture course, are the very
same reasons why they are not united
in the support of any other public
welfare enterprises except the ceme-
tery. Individual selfishness and lack
of town-team-work are the reasons
why so many unorganized towns are
doomed today.
By the entertainments they sup-
port, communities confess to all the
world just what they are. Bury your
hammer and buy a horn, and toot for
the Chautauqua tent, for there is the
forum of freedom, where your mind
may receive its emancipation proc-
lamation.—By Brooks Fletcher.

You Need a Tonic
There are times In every woman's life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman's tonic. Cardui is com-
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can't make a mistake in taking >
CARDUI
* The Woman's Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,
says: "I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now 1 feel as well and
as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything."
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers. *
