Use More Nitrogen!

NITRATE
of SODA
Southern farmers
who have used Ni
trate of Soda on
cotton have found
that the use of
plenty of nitrate in
sures a big crop.
The yield generally
increases directly
as the applications
of Nitrate of Soda
increase, and the
difference in crop
more than pays for
the material.
Ask your county agent or send a postal card with
your address to our nearest office for our free bulletins
. which have helped thousands of farmers to grow big
ger and more profitable crops.

CIGARETTE SMOKING
The fumes of the lighted cigar
ette carry their entice influence to
the user in response to suction,
and are distributed by inhalation.
All people who jmoke, inhale.
Some deny this, but they are mis
taken. The smoke entqrs' the
mouth and attacks the sensitive
nerves of the oral cavity instantiy.
The first'‘effect is stimulation;
longer and more frequent indulg- .
enci weakens—overpowers. Ex
haustion takes place, due to over- ‘
stimulation. The taste of the ad
dict becomes less . acute as time
goes on, until he cannot appreciate
the flavors of his food. Nothing
tastes so good to him as the fumes
of this burlesque of the tobaccon
ist. It is safe to say that the
chewer of “the weed” suffers less
damage than the absorber of the
volatile chemical within the ciga
rette! The chewer escapes' much of
tobacco poisoning by his copious
expectoration—but cigarette fumes
absorb and stay until their entire
effect is bestowed upon the victim.
Cigarette-smoking is distinctly a
follow-up process, gach one reach
ing /artkefr along the nerve-fibres
toward the brain than its predecet
sor advanced. Exhaled through
the nostrils, the harm done is
quadrupled; with wide nostrils,
even this is intensified, until the
sensitive mucous membranes be
come dry, the sense of smell di
minished or lost, the breath fetid
and unholy, the face expression
less, the hearing and eyesight less
acute, and the poise of the brain
disturbed until the fingers tremble
under the slightest excitement.
That this condition lessens courage
and executive ability, is beyond
question. Is the game worth tha
cost ?

Can’t Smoke_
History
A fellow from Carolina wants to
know where I get the idea, that
“BuH” Durham and George Wash
ington come from the same state.
He says, “Why don’t you write and
give the people the real History of
‘Bull’ Durham in its native State,
South Carolina, that people would
appreciate that more than these
Bull Legends of yours.*'
Now thanks, Sir, for your good*
nafured suggestion. If 1 knew His
tory I wouldn’t be able to write
“Bull” Durham Ads. I would be
a College Professor, get everything
right, and get nothing for it
Everything you suggested me tell
ing the public about when and
where “-Bull” Durham originated,
has been told for 66 years by typ
ical Advertising writers. That’s the
only thing the Company a$ked of
me was “please don’t tell again
where it came from, or how,” You
see you didn’t read their Ads, but
you did read mine and remembered
it, because it was wrong. « t
Writing Ads that will be re
membered is a queer game. This is
an Ad, not a History. I selected
Ads over History on account oTtbe
pay. (American Tobacco. Com
pany’s pay is as good as its tobacco.!
Where “Bull” Durham comes from
or where it goes to is left for die
starving Historian.
P.S. You notice I named in this ar
ticle the WRONG Carolina. That’s t»
North Carolina will get tore because
I named South Carolina, .and South
Carolina will get sore because I didn’t
name North Carolina. A true South
erner never forgets.
P.P.S. There will be another piece
in this paper soon. Watch fbr it
