BUT LIKE most men.
I OFTEN guess wrong.

A SMILE from them.

IT’S BETTER to laugh.

THE DAM broke, and.
A FLOOD hit town.
I THOUGHT I’d just.
CHEER UP my wife.

TAKE the silky, tender leaves of
choicest Turkish; blend them with
the best Domestic tobacco that money

and you get a “smoke.” Yes, and
something more—you get a cigarette
that honestly ‘‘satisfies.”
