Most Richly-FIavored Chez,
That Was Ever Pressed
\ Into Plugs


Red-blooded men with real TOBACCO
hunger find that they can satisfy it only
by chewing, and the most wholesome
and satisfying tobacco to chew is that
made in plug form.
The limit of luxury in tobacco chew
ing is the rich, sweet, juicy flavor that
trickles through your system when you
chew Spear Head.
No other chewing tobacco is so mel
low, so luscious and so satisfying. No
other equals Spear Head for putting a
keen edge on your appetite.
Spear Head is made of the worlds
best tobacco leaf-the choicest of red
Kentucky Burley This leaf is selected
for its full, juicy richness with the
most painstaking care, is stemmed by
hand, is pressed into Spear Head plugs
so slowly that not drop of the rich,
natural juice escapes.
Your first chew of Spear Head will
open your eyes to the genuine enjoy
ment there is in chewing .

that has been the favorite for third
of a century-that's Spear Head. In

cratic party at the 1916 polls, this
order muzzling the officers of the

ident for suppressing information
about Philippine conditions.
American honor is at stake in the
Philippines said Mr.. Miller. During
the terms Of three former presidents
a splendid non-partisan governmental
force was established. President Will
son wiped this out, substituting mex

Sir Henry Thompson, said to be the

Dr. w. F. Waugh, editor of the Al

matter in a nutshell when he says:
"There is to-day but one reason for
the continued use of alcohol-men use
it because they love it"
The Herald thinks it is not signif-

has omitted 20 list alcoholic liquors as
medicines. Would it not have been
published far and wide as tremendous
ly significant to the liquor forces, had
it never been listed before, and was
now to go on the list for the first
time?
