Day by day they become nearer and dearer to him. The man who has not a dog and a pipe has missed two of the greatest things this good old world can give. Every man who loves his pipe know Velvet, the one" tobacco that out all of a pipe's best and sweetest qualities. Your pipe takes on an added friendliness from Velvet's choice Kentucky leaf aged in the wood to a mellowness that's rich and smooth as cream. Your pipe takes on a mild sweetness that is Velvet's natural tobacco sweetness.

And around you hovers the real tobacco fragrance that all good pipe smokers love. Never did Velvet Joe say a wiser, truer thing than this: "Folks say you can't buy friendship. You can buy a dog and a pipe and good old I reckon no man ever had three bet' ter friends." Sore Throat You may not look it seriously, but a sore throat indicates a weakness in the bronchial tabes. If neglected it may soon develop into some chronic complaint. People who are troubled in this way are most susceptible to influenza, contract pneumonia readily, and fall easy victims to consumption.

When the, throat is healthy, influenza or consumption germs cannot obtain a foothold. Above all things never neglect a child's throat, for it may mean years of suffering for it in after years. should bringsw XJ.
