Underground Water in Virginia.

One of the most important resources
of the broad coastal plain of Virginia
is the underground water. Recent
preliminary studies have shown that
these waters are exceptionally good,
aud their development will result in
an increased prosperity throughout the
whole region. The conditions are IA
vorable for obtaining artesian supplies.
there being few localities east of the
granite boundary stretching from
Washington, through Richmond. south
to North Carolina line, in which good
ground water cannot be obtained.
These artesian flows are especially
strong in the lowlands along the coast,
and they can be obtained almost any.
where throughout eastern Virginia.
The water is found at the surface of
the granite underlying the entire re-
gion at varying depth, and also from
at least tnreee water-bearing strata in
the soft everything deposits.

chewed, to the population, in those
States where SCEINAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there are in the
States where SCEINAPPS has not
yet been offered to the trade.
SCHNAPPS is like a cup of fine
Java coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out it's natural, stimulating
qualities. SCHNAPPS p1eases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be-
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 1Oc. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey's worth of the real snappy, stirn-
ulating flavor so appreciated by to-
bacco lovers. All limitations con-
tain much more sweetening than

way to hide poor tobacco improp-
