launch of the battleship Minnesota
was located in II feet of water, about
1900 yards west by south Of Fort Wool.
Across the little craft was tell-tale
piece Of towing line, serving to con-
vince the naval officers that they are

was run down by fleets Of some kind
In tow Of a tug. The diver who went
down to examine the launch reported
that the heads and arms OF three men
were protruding from beneath the can
vas covering, the men having made
desperate fight for life when they were
carried down like rats in q trap.
The Inflated boat was found by the
launches of the battleships Ohio and

FLuE CURING II owes TOBACCO LIKE
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN Coffee
Flue curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and 1aste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco hunger

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs OF to-
bacco is fue cured, but the inside is
filed with cheap, limsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews OF
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this flue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. II the
kind of tobacco y0w are chewing don't

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called flue cured. In fue-curlng
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
Anes in houses especially built to re-
tain the. heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant anC
