" Your
ffirificant Movement of -the
bf
es Is That of the Centenary
the Methodist Episcopal
Church South-Will Spend Mil
lions Among the Uneducated.
The fact that Yml thousand eol
tlers were unable , to .understand the
orders given them from their superiors
andhat many, many thousands ,could
not sign their own names to their
quesUonnaires brought to light it con-
- dltlon so serious that two Southern,
Representatives at Washington - are
new introducing hills to promote Ihe
education of illiterates throughout the
length and bieadth of America. Sena
tor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has intro
duced a hill in the Senate "to promote
the education of illiterates, of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng
lish language, and other resident per
sons1 of foreign birth' and the same'
. measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William B. Bankhead,
f Alabama. . . .
The Introduction of this important
till means a great deal to the South,
which, because of its negroes and
mountain .whites, ... has long borne ( a
puatlon orj lUiteracj, put -of propor
iinio r that, of -the reptof tbe;:coun

the Methodist ...Episcopal Church,

rased. with .a. view; to putting, the
work of the' church on- a : business
basis, Uie church considering its duty
to the illiterates here in America to be
among the matters of first importance
which It should undertake. A survey
has been made and the result of the
campaign will be the apportionment of
83,000,000 among the various illiterate
population a follows: Mountain pop
ulation, J75O.00O; immigrant, $900,000;
negroes, $500,000; Indians, $150,000;
. cotton mill population, $150,000; Chris
tian literature for all of them, $100,000.
With the definite, step undertaken
at, Washington, with one denomination
already completing its plans for fur
thering the work among them, and1
with' other churches and organizations
getting ready to join hands in their
behalf, it is more than possible that
the illiterates of the South are in a
fair way to soon become educated citi
ens of the United States.

Nose
All foods are flavored to make them
palatable. All smoking tobaccos are treated
with some flavoring for the same reason.
But there is a big difference in the Quality
and kind of tobacco flavorings. Tuxedo,
the finest of "properly aged burley tobacco,
uses the purest, most wholesome and
delicious of all flavorings
chocolate! That is why "Your
Nose Knows" Tuxedo from all
other tobaccos by its delicious
pure fragance.
Try This Test: Rub a little Tuxedo " .
briskly in the palm of your hand to
bring out its full aroma. Then smell it
deep -its delicious, pure fragrance
will convince you. Try this test with
any other tobacco and we will let
Tuxedo stand or fall on your judgment.

its own reauest, has been relieved of" its work in maintaining
the post exchanges with the American army. Correspondence
has been exchanged between General PersKing and E. C. Carter

decision. On Jan. 29 Mr. Carter wrote to General Pershing say
ing that duties of the . Y. ,M. C. A. in promoting athletics and -entertainments
were so, heavy that he thought it should be re
lieved of the . exchange work. v . ,
General Pershing, in his reply, said:
: "As vou correctly": state, the Y. M. C. A. undertook the '
management of. the post exchanges at my request at a time
when it was of . the greatest importance that -no' available

. . tions of training and - fighUng. r As,, the reasons which im- '
