Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
Tobacco Grown i'm the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps
Quality Only On the Outside
OF the Plug

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacco. The outside Of the imitation
plugs of tobacco is fue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filled
with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two chews of such to-
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages Of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made so much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-
lation of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A
great many of these limitations are

Schnapps, but there is only one gen
uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters
on the tag, and stamped on the plug
under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P-P-S
and then you have 1.-THE most
wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetening to preserve
the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of
the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove
that this fue cured tobacco, grown
in the famous Piedmont region, re-
quires and takes less sweetcning than
any other and has a wholesome,
stimulating, satisfying effect on
chewers.
If the tobacco you are chewing
don't satisfy you more than the mere
habit Of expectorating, stop fooling
yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers
formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $I.oo per pound; Schnapps is
sold at soc. per pound, in SC. cuts,
strictly Ioc. and I5c. plugs,

lately come to strange city and hat

one afternoon before school-tlme, {
boy was entering who had been absent
almost all the time since the new

politely, adding that sue was glad to

and as be passed ON to his place in the
school room the principal proceeded
to justify himself by explaining that
John was one of the very worst boys
in town and that he had given all bis
teachers no end of trouble. The teach
er had known more than one worst
boy in town. elsewhere, and out of
the depths of her experience she de-
termined to withhold Judgment until
she had proof of her own. AS she en-
tered the room and looked at John she
saw that he had been hurt most bi

him and assured him that she not only

that she hoped never to have occasion.

AWAITING 4 RUPTURE.
Majority in Parliament Prepares
Address to Country.

ST. Petersburg. June 23.-The central commit
tee of the Constitutional Democrats to-day de-
cided TO draw UP an address to the country set
ting forth their position in the lower house OF
parliament. 1ustifying their demand for the re-
tirement of the ministry, and appealing for sup
port. The address is designed to eeunteract
the activity of the Socialist group, which Is
working night and day TO undermine the posi-
ton of the Constitutional Democrats in the
country, and to serve as platform which
the party can stand in case of a rupture Of the
administration, which many of the radical Con-
stitut1onal Democrats now believe cannot come
too soon. This faction holds that parliament's
inability TO pass desired legislation was clearly
manifested by the response Of Premier Goremy-
kin and the attitude of the Council of the En-
pire and that further delay IN bringing the
issue TO head is merely advantage TO the
government which may be able to go before the
country on agrarian reforms while parliament
is involved in oratory This view however is
not taken by the more conservative leaders of
the party who said to-day that the position of
the ministry steadily growing weaker and
that the delay was playing directly into the
hands of the Constitutional Democrats.
Parliamentary leaders are unable TO set an
approximate date for reporting the asrarian bill
The only hope of agreement is a compromise
that will include only the most general principles
of the first statute and refer everything else to
local commissions, whose reports the details
of appropriation of land, it's division and the
payment for il may be worked out, thereby de-
ferring a settlement Of the question at least
until fall.
