There must be some reason for it. Surely, these men would quickly pay a far higher price for another cigarette if it suited them better. That is just it. No other cigarette can quite give what Fatimas give. Some other cigarettes taste good, yes. Fatimas do more—they are comfortable. Not only are they comfortable to the throat and tongue while you smoke them, but, much more leave a man feeling kgen and “fit” AFTER smoking, even though he smokes important, they more than usual. president of Ladies’ Aid, Mrs. Evelyn Hall; superintendent of Sunday school, president of C.

Some idea of the automobile sidPition in the turbulent republic may be gathered from the following remarks on the subject by Special United States Agent Garrard Harris, con- tained in a report to the United States Government: The bad condition of many of tho Port au Prince streets and the roads contiguous to the city soon shook the vehicles loose in every boit with no experienced mechanics availabje for making repairs. Further, the chauffeurs were said to be incompetent and careless. It Is related that they would start on a trip with no knowledge whatever as to F,hu\\: much gasoline was on hand. The car would run out of fuel at some re- mote place perhaps and the driver would leave it where it stalled. There it would remain for possibly a week, and meanwhile the torrential rains and blazing sun were not helping the general condition of the vehicle.
