Says the Painter: "You notice most painters chew. If they didn't the paint might make their throats too dry. I chew a lot and always PICNIC TWIST, not only because of its naturally sweet, long lasting taste, but because of its mildness. I can chew more PICNIC TWIST than I can dark 'heavy' tobacco and without any 'let down afterwards.";';;;1. '"; PICNIC TWIST is not being advertised to introduce it, but to spread the fame of a chew that is already popular. It has long been adver tised by word-of-mouth praise, the best advertis ing there is.

P. Morgan & Co. Testifies Be fore Interstate Com-. mere Commission. C. H. & D. OPERATIONS EXPLAINED IN DETAIL Erie Directors and Morgans Ignorant of Financial Con dition of the Road, He Stated. HABEAS CORPUS BEGINS TODAY Leo M. Frank Case May Go to United States Supreme Court Again. Washington, Deo. 21. When the Interstate commerce commission re sumed hearing on the financial operation of the C. H. & D. and the Pere Marquette railroads, Frederick W. Stevens, representing the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., presented testi mony to the commission to support the contention that the operations of the C. H. & D., which burdened the road with 24,700,00a in financial ob ligations and sent the road Into the haids of a receiver, took place before the Morgan house had acquired the control of the road for the Brie, At the time of the purchase of the road in 1905, Stevens said, the Erie directors and the late J. P. Morgan, were In ignorance of the actual finan cial condition of the C. H. & D., and that a surplus of $783,000 the pro ceeding year was changed to a de ficiency of $241,000 through the ac quisition of the Pere Marquette rail road. As soon as the actual condi tion of the road was discovered, Mr. Stevens declared, the late J. P. Mor gan voluntarily took back the C. H. & D. stock at the purchase price. Af ter the reorganization, he continued, of the C. H. & D it was transferred to the Baltimore & Ohio, and Mr. Stevens declared the only pecuniary advantage resulting from the reor ganization, to the Morgan house, was the prospect of receiving in 1916 the appraised value of the C. H. & D. stock sold to the Baltimore & Ohio. "In 1911," Mr. Stevens said, "the Morgans bought from the C. H. & D. 110,000 shares of the Pere Marquette stock acquired under the administra tion of Eugene Zimmerman In 1904, at $13,750,000 and the company also advanoed $7,600,000 in new money to the Pere Marquette railroad, the notes for which advance have now defaulted." Summarizing the present situation Mr. Stevens said: 'Thus J. P. Morgan and company. have 110 shares of Pere Marquette stock (now of doubtful value) to show for the $12,000,000 and upwards which he returned to the Erie for the C. H. and D., stock purchased." Mr. Stevens stated that J. P. Mor gan and company were not members of the syndicate nor of the Zimmer man organization. Atlanta, Dec. 21. Hearing on the petition for a writ of habeas corpus seeking the release from custody of Leo M. Frank, sentenced to death for the murder of Mary Phasan, was set to begin here today before Federal Judge Newman. In the petition to the Unit ed States district court, the counsel for Frank contend that his conviction was without due process of law and that his constitutional rights were vio lated In that he was absent from the court room when the Jury returned the verdict of guilty. What ever de cision Is rendered, it Is expeoted that the case will bs carried to the Supreme court of the United States. It was understood that Attorney General Warran A. flrice would assist Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey in op posing the granting of the writ VJ hen you feci a Cold coming on thin!: of Laxative Bromo Quinine Curco a Cold in Ono Day Facts as a tonic-laxative and removes the cause of all colds and also "relieves the feverish conditions and headache which are usually associated with colds."
