"The Best"

There's a juicy richness and last

original with this brand This state
ment from William J.. Virden, 200 w
4th St. Wilmington, Delaware, is one
of many enthusiastic endorsements:
II have been a tobacco chewer for
a number Of years. but after trying
AMERICAN NAVY find it 70 be the
best. No other brand satisfies my
taste like AMERICAN NAVY"
Thousands Of the men who now SPEAK
so enthusiastically of AMERICAN
NAVY formerly chewed Scrap The
cigar tobacco used in "Scrap" is the
thing that appeals to scrap chewers
Well, AMERICAN NAVY is made of
the same leaf tobacco used in good
cigars. The big difference is that
"Scrap' is made Of cigar cuttings and
clippings, while AMERICAN NAVY
Is made Of the whole long leaf.
This use of the long leaf gives a
product Of much higher grade. An
other big point in favor of AMERI-
CAN NAVY with Scrap" chewers Is
that AMERICAN NAVY is pressed
into pure. fresh plugs by process that
saves every drop OF the distinctive and
delightful flavor.

PROTECTING THE NURSE.
From the Atlantic City Press.

From the Atlantic City Press.
Assemblyman Whitman proposes to
introduce a bill providing that the
bills of nurses shall be considered pre-
ferred claims in settling up estate of
decedents, just as are the claims of
undertakers.
There seems to be genuine need for
such legislation. The occupation of a
nurse is such that she can scarcely
choose patients. She bears much the
same relation to the patient as does
the doctor; frequently she cannot re-
fuse to serve from commercial or 9TH
err reasons without rendering herself
criminally liable for negligence. Con-
sequently, she ought to be protected
in the same way that doctors and I'M
dertakers are protected. Her claim
should be preferred.
[Mr. Whitman introduced this bill
in the House of Assembly this week

When you get a big hunk of some
thing stuck in your throat, and you
can't get it up and it won't go down,
the proper caper to cut is to make
your will, and then get religion, and
send for the doctor and the undertake
er, and the preacher, and if between
them this bunch can't extricate you
from your dilemma you will at least
have the satisfaction of knowing
where you are at and what sort of a
dinged place it is.
