Keep Your Blood Pure.
No one can lie Loppy, liglit-hearteil and
healthy with a body full of blood that can
not do its duty to every part because of its
impurity; thereiora, the first and most im
portant work in hand is to purify the blood
sothut every orsn will get the full benefit
of a healthy circulation. Thre is no remedy
we know of so good as that old family
remedy, Brsndreth's Pills. Each pill con
tains one grain of the solid extract of sarsa
pnrilla blended with two grains of a com
bination of pure and mild vegetable pro
ducts, making it a blood purifier unexcelled
in character. One or two taken every night
for a while will produce surprising results.
Braudruth's Pills have been in use for
over a century and are Bold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps
Quality Only On the Outside
Of the Plug
Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to
bacco. The outside of the imitation
plugs of tobacco is flue cured the same
as Schnapps, 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 to
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made so much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio
lation of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A
great many of these imitations are

Death of Mrs. Kinney.
High Point Eoteiprife: A tele
phone message from 't'homasville
this afternoon cunini'inieates the
sad intelligence thit Mis. Kinney,
mother of the poonl-ir Southern
railway engineer of th it name, died
i this morning at 10 o'clock. The
I devoted mother of her fearless and

claimed to be "just as good" as
Schnapps, but there is only one gen
uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters
on the tag, and stamped on the plug
under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P-P-S
and then you have it the most
wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetening to preserve
the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of
the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove
that this flue cured tobacco, grown
in the famous Piedmont region, re
quires and takes less sweetening than
any other and has a wholesome,
stimulating, satisfying effect on
chewers.
If the tobacco you arc chewing
don't satisfy you more than the mere
habit of expectorating, stop fooling
yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers
formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $1.00 per pound; Schnapps is
sold at 50c. per pound, in 5c. cuts,
strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs.
