Angel in the Tax Bill Moves Through Senate Committee
The Georgia Senate Finance Committee, meeting at the Kimball House, reversed major House actions on the general tax bill. While cigarettes tax relief was rejected, the committee cut taxes on beverages like Coca Cola and dealer futures, lowered or removed various franchise and corporate taxes, and eyed further reductions including the circus tax. Georgia industry protections were cited as a factor in resisting higher levies.

Lemon and Tobacco Moistener Tips From a Philadelphia Tobacconist
A Philadelphia Record tobacconist recommends using a lemon as a tobacco moistener rather than a sponge. Slice ends of a lemon and place in the tobacco box to keep cigars and smoking mixture moist and impart a fresh fragrance. A juicy lemon can last months and resists mildew unlike sponges. Some readers also report success with oranges and even a mix of lemon, orange, and apple in the jar.
