The district superin- tendent has visited a number of be ference. Tuxedo—the Most Enjoyable and the Most Healthful Smoke THE most enjoyable smoke is a plpc. But many men deny themselves this pleasure because they have had unhappy experiences with pipe tobaccos. Likely you have paid 35 cents to 50 cents for a tin o{ ‘fancy mixture,’”” and it burned your mouth.or_throat, or,was unpleasantly strong. 4 Too bad—but fyo got the wrong tobacco, - The hundreds of thousands of men who have tried The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette have found the answer to their smoke prob- Jems. Tuxedo is the mildest tobacco made. It cannot bite the tongue or dry the throat. And it’s economical. There are 40 pipe- fuls in a ten-cent tin. You can’t get any better tobacco because nothing better grows than the mellow, perfectly aged Burley leaf used in Tuxedo. If you try Tuxedo for a month and cut out other smokes, you will not onl have had the best mont of smoking you have ever had in your life, but you will have made a mighty big saving in your pocket- money!
