In his letter Mr.. Hill declared thai
hundreds Of idle men infest the empty
cars Of the Great Northern during the
summer months, set them on fire. Dill
fer and steal.
"Tramps," he said, attempt to Sc.
crete themselves on every train at any
risk. A considerable number of these
are killed or injured each year. They
get on or of trains while In motion,
and some suffer in life or limb. 9th.
ers fall on the trains while asleep. II
would be dlmcuIt TO gamer renaple
statistics on this point, because the
large percentage Of the tramps reported
as killed on the railroads are really
murdered. Men returning from the
harvest fields with their wages are
killed for their money by their more
Vicious and criminal fellows, the bodies
are flung from the train while In mo-
ton, and the reported deaths by rail-
road casualty are actually cases of
homicide"
President Hin concluded his letter by
Offering to cooperate with the charity
workers in any crusade they may begin
to drive tramps to work.
A national commission of yaRrancy
Is to be formed by the conference. and
It's membership Is to be made up of
railroad men and charity workers cho
sen from the different sections of the
United States. This committee will
attempt to drive the tramp to the bath
house, to the barber shop and to the
work bench.
Mr.. Lewis declared that the cost of
the tramps to the railroads annually
Is $2,bOO,O00. He said that in the last
year tramps have been responsible for
railroad wrecks, the burning of sta
tons, great loss of life and numberless
nres In cars. He declared that the
ramps tempered with switches, inter
Tered with signals and even killed rail- |
road employees.
The commission win work for the |
enforcement Of existing vaRrancy laws.

houses, and the enforcement OF rail-.
road trespass laws. Literature also
VIII be distributed urging housewives
to refuse to distribute aims at the

In an address Mr.. Lewis said: sPre-
'entive measures must be based on
TWO principles; first, that the ahIa-
bodied vagrant must work for what
10 receives, and, second, that the nm

Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from FIue Cured
Tobacco Grown in 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 oftobacco is hue 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

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 flue cured tobacco. grown
