“Pure Vanilla.’’ The lady said
the Vanilla she had been using
“tasted like rotten wood, or some
thing of that kind.” We sent her
a 25c bottle of our Vanilla, (we
handle only the best) and while
we have heard nothing more from
this lady, we venture the assertion
that she was delighted with the re

best only.

ODD HAIR MATTRESS.
T* Whleh Only th« Nation’* Qr*at**t
Have Contributad.
The ambition of the barbers of the
United States senate to possess them
salves of a hnlr mattress msde of the
hirsute clippings of their dignified pa
trons seems likely soon to be realized,
■ays the Washington Star. It was a
long time ago that these barbers, it Is
alleged, entered Into a conspiracy to
have a little graft in common with the
practice In other walks of life, official
and otherwise. They aimed high in
fact, at the very heads of their august
customers—and began at once to save
the hair clippings that were ordinarily
gathered up and sent to the waste
heap. Not only will they have a use
ful article when they succeed in their
purpose, but they will possess the
strangest hair mattress in the world.
They will be able to sell it, If they
desire, with a certificate, their signa
tures witnessed^ by a notary public,
declaring even the names of distin
guished statesmen w T ho contributed to
their hair graft.
The barbers since they determined
upon this campaign for a senatorial
hair mattress have naturally had their
preferences for well haired senators,
and bald men have little standing with
them. Various halls of fame have
been erected and dedicated to men of
high accomplishments, but It Is doubt
ful If any hall of fame ever included
more distinguished names than this
mattress of fame, the sole qualifica
tion of which has been a seat In
the senate and a bunch of good hair.
The barbers were sorely disappointed
that they did not get another chance
to trim Senator Sp'K>ner\s hair, which
was fiaunted before them in an ag
grarating way every time the little
giant visited the barber shop to be
shaved, as w'as his custom daily.
“Hair cut, sir?” the obsequious bar
ber would inquire.
The senator would thoughtfully
shake his head, and the hopes of the
barber would sink into his shoes.
The barbers have always liked Sena
tor Dick, and when they are let loose
with his hair with Instructions to “use
their judgment’’ they will make it nec
essary for all the newspapers aud mag
azines of the country to lay In a
stock of new photographs.
Senator Stewart and Senator Peffer
are looked back upon by the barbers
ns relics of “those good old times,” the
return of which Is hoped for, but hard
ly expected.

A Genius at Figures.
Professor Max Dcssoir of Berlin uni
versity rceontly introduced to bis class
in psychology Dr. Ruckle. He told
the students that the doctor was a
genius at figures, but was not to be
looked upon as in the same class with
“lightning calculators” who give pub
lie exhibitions, because Dr. Ruckle ap
peared before the students only to
demonstrate what well directed appli
cation could accomplish. He began by
asking that 100 figures be placed in a
row, making one great sum. Then be
studied the line for about five minutes
and In that time memorized the com
bination so perfectly that he wrote
the figures from first to last and from
last to first rapidly and without error.
Difficult problems In cube and square
root, Interest and compound Interest
were solved in an incredibly short
time, always correctly and without the
aid of paper or pencil. After an exhi
bition which caused wonder and as
tonishment the students applauded vig
orously, and the mathematical genius,
as a further proof of his remarkable
memory, repeated backward the 100
figures which had been given to him
when his discourse began.

FLUE CURING IMPROVES TOBACCO LIKE
ROASTING IMPROVES PREEN COFFEE
Flue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger
There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and flue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called flue cured. In flue-curing
the tobacco i? taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
flues in houses especially built to re
tain the heat, and here kept in the
proper temperature ntil this curing
process developes in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green‘coffee is madu fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds’ brands
of high grade, flue cured tobaccos.
Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to
bacco is flue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this flue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sv/eetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind of tobacco you are chewing don’t
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $1.00 per pound; Schnapps is sold
at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts, strictly
10 and 15 cent plugs.

STARTLING BRAIN THEORY.
Not Center of Heman Intelligence,
Says Scientist—Toes Have Thoeghfr.
The scientific world, through Dr
Joseph Simms of New York’ city, who
arrived recently at Boston from Ku-
rope. Is to be treated to another sensa
tional theory concerning the seat of
thougnt in human beings, says the
New York Auvri- nn.
“We think with our toes and with
our lingers j’r ; ;;s much as we think
with any portion of our brain.” says
the scientist, who is about to write a
book. He contends that the heart has
more to do with the function of think
ing than lire brain.
Dr. Simms points out that the lira ins
of many idiots are large, yet their
hearts are very small, whereas the
brains of many geniuses have been
below the normal, while their hearts
have lieen abnormal.
“We think literally all over our bod
ies,” says the doctor, who has made
a life study of the chemistry of
thought. “Thought is in the soul,
which permeates the entire physical
being. '1 he brain is a great heat pro
ducer. but it has little to do with the
function of thinking. We think with
our fingers or with our toes whenever
we use them.”
Dr. Himms declares that such world
renowned scientists as Sir William
Hamilton of Edinburgh university
and Professor Yon Hartmann of Ber
lin agree with him in his theory.
