CONGRESS IS (TSSIN
MAD AT PRES I DENI
Congress is cussin’ mail at Presi
dent Wilson. He has placed the re
sponsibility of repealing the war
I emergency prohibition law on their
shoulders and they are squirming liki
eels in hot water.
For months congress, and especial
ly the Republican members, hav<
worked overtime cussin’ the President
for exercising his authority under the
law, even calling him an autocrat an<;
FOLKS are a heap like tobacco, Thar's hot-headed,
bitey folks. Thar's flat, uninterestin’ folks. An*
then thars folks like Velvet—mild, but hearty an*
fren’ly, too.

“Friendly” is a very good word to describe the
positively pleasing quality that sets VELVET
tobacco apart.
There is that indescribable something about VELVET
that is associated in men’s minds with the thought
of a friend.
It is a satisfying smoke—never harsh; without a bite.
Like a friend it “agrees” with you no matter how
much you use it.
Long, patient ageing—in
wooden hogsheads—does it.
Friendship must ripen
slowly. Good tobacco the
same way. An army of
men have learned this
through VELVET.
Today is a good time to get
a lot of comfort out of a
pipeful of friendly VELVET.

have settled the prohibition question
himself a. he had the power under
the law to settle it and not put the
responsibility on them.
Of course many people will find <
fault with the President for his ac- j

to give him credit for forcing dowr j
the throats of others the bitter pill j
they have been feeding him on for 1
