An Unbeatable Team: Time and Nature
When tobacco manufacturers try to substitute hurry-up
curing' methods for slow, natural ageing of tobacco, you
smokers pay the price.
There is no better method of bringing
out the mellowness and mildness of "Ken
tucky's best" than two years natural age
ing in wooden hogsheads.
VELVET is Kentucky's best Burjey
tobacco aged by Nature's method, die
patient method, the expensive method,
but the best method known to man.
Thar ain 't a whole lot of differ
ence between a ripe persimmon
an' a nearly ripe one on the
outside. Some of these nearly
matured tobaccos sorter favor
VELVET in looks.

The Outworn Preacher
From the secular press
No other form of organization com
pares in wealth to the church. It in
vestment in properties and endow
ments, its resources of b'.-ncvoltnee
are staggering in the tot:il, I erause
the church is the basic organization of
civilized society. Yet tho preacher
who is the unit of religious effective
mess is the poorest paid of any trained
workers in the entire range of social
activity. The pay of the preachers
is astonishingly low upon the average
tespite the fact that there is an upper
strata of well-paid clergymen. The
hurcVjes have been disposed to regard
the minister as employed in a work of
sacrifice, and with sacrifice must go
offering.
So the patient and plodding and in
dustrious pastor, the man who is the
instrument of God in the creation of
oharacter effectiveness in the youth
and in the reformation of those who
Have lost moral anchorage, the man
who sustains the standards of society
in every department of associate ac
tivity, is the man who is treated in
the most slighting manner by the
churches. He may give his entire life
to the service of religion and hold the
most responsible office in his denom
ination and ma) have been finely in
fluential through his wisdom, his
training and his spirit, in promoting
the wide interest of society. Yet he
may be turned out without the pas
turage that is provided even for a
worn-out horse. He has the vision of
the city not made with hands whose
builder and maker i, God and he is
instructed by the stern course of
events that the eirth is not his dwell
ing place. He is comforted l.y the
words of his muster, that the foxes
have holes and toe birds of the air
have nests but fie Son of Man hath
not where to lay his head.
Such a case is an extreme one, but
it is typical of muiliiudis of instances
of clergymen of loss prominent seiv
ice to their denominations, passing
from under the gospel yoke, with no
provision for the future Most of the
denominations, however, are now v.ak
to the need for earwig for the outworn
clergymen. They havj or are creating

DIAMOND BRIQUET
Diamond Briquets aro made from the purest, richest portions of
coal veins that have made the Pacific Coast Coal Company famous.
The coal is ground fine, dried thoroughly and then mixed with the
purest of asphalt asphalt with all the light, smelly oils burned off.
This rich, soft mass then goes through massive presses that give
it the tremendous pressure of almost 5000 pounds to the square inch.
It emerges in briquets of cylindrical shape with rounded ends, each
weighing 10 1-2 ounces, and each stamped with a diamond.
Diamond Briquets have a heating value of 13,432 British Ther
mal Units to the pound and extended tests prove them conclusively to
be fully 10 per cent better than the best house coal now on the mar
ket, with only eight and a fraction per cent ash.
What the United States Bureau of Mines Says About Briquets
1. The even size of Briquet3 permits a more regular and thor
ough combustion in the firebox or furnace.
2. Briquets produce much less smoke and in many cases prac
tically no smoke.
3. They retain their shape in the fire and do not coke suffici
ently to cut off the needed supply of air.
4. They bum to a fine ash without clinkering. Clinkers can be
formed if all the absolute ash is not removed from the grates regu
larly. 6. A Briquet fire requires much less care than one of raw fuel.
Suggestions for Getting Best Results from DIAMOND BRIQUETS
Clean out firebox thoroughly when you commence using Briquets.
Use more kindling than used for lump coal. This will also aid in
keeping chimney clean.
Give the fire full draft until well started. Thi3 burns the smoke
and while making more heat also prevents soot.
Check the draft after fire is well started; very little draft is
needed then, and fuel consumption will he reduced.
When adding more Briquets increase the chimney draft while
stove or furnace is open. This will prevent smoke from escaping
into the room.
A gentle shsl;in will clean the grates.
If you have a strong draft carry some Briqueti ashes on the
grates to help regulate the fire. Briquet ashes are light and ponis
and the draft can work through.
For banking cr to hold over night, cut off all drafts completolv
after applying the Briquets. If you wish to bank fires every night,
you will get the nest results by carrying a deep fire, Uavin'g ashes
on the grate.

A Hint to the Aged.
If poople past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days, they would
recover much more quickly, especially
if they take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also bo less

disappeared into one of the structures.
A mysterious noiso generally followed
his entrance.
Tho police believed the clergyman
their in-

the 70-year-old astronomer to Imj an
