r ... —• 3 A THOUGHT FOR TODAY. Would you succeed in the living of life? Then learn to “let go.” Relaxation gains power, concentration spends it. Every single thought you think has a good or bad action upon every nerve and muscle in your body. To possess poise—relax. Don’t think too much of trivials—for instance— White Stag Cigar Only Costs 5 but in it is concentrated good and mild tobacco and it’s Made In Decatur. In this cigar is relaxation, soothing to the most muffled temper. Smoke one or two a day. ASK YOUR DEALER.
