Chew SWEET,
LUSCIOUS
"SPEAR HEAD"
You'll Like 1t Far Better Than
Any Other Chewing
Tobacco Made

If you're already chewer you
ought to try Spear Head. 1t Will
give you an altogether new idea OF
how delicious and satisfying a
chew can be.
If you're not yet chewer, you
ought to try Spear Head just the
same. You'll be surprised and de-
lighted to see how much more
comfort and enjoyment you get
out of tobacco when the luscious,
wholesome juices in a Spear Head
plug come into direct contact with
your tongue.
Spear Head is especially de-
licious because it is made only OF
the choicest red Burnley leaf
sweet, ripe, mellow and tull OF
fruity, appetizing flavor.
Get a cut of this supremely
good tobacco and try it. In S

with her clandestine meeting with Eu-
gene, who loves her deeply. Floriet,

Later Eugene meets with an accident
resulting in his death, and Jacqueline

of their son Raymond. But the closed
door is locked forever.
Work is scarce, but lovers are found
aplenty, but one by one they tire of
her as lovers Of that type will. She
slides down the ladder of degradation
until the lowest depths a woman can
sink to are reached. Jacqueline, now

this county is due the credit of sending
stranger on his way rejoicing when

some twenty years, came into The
Capital office and told story like this :
stranded. Down and out Was
student in New York had two days
holiday; came to see a cousin at the
Naval Academy, manning a Lieutenant
Nj as the person.
HE was walking in the Academy
grounds, lost his pocket book contain
ing $40, and a return ticket to New
York; hadn't another cent, and wanted
TO get home" The young man spoke
with foreign accent and looked like a
Syrian. He was directed to the Mayor,
but failed to locate the chief executive
of the city Likewise the City Clerk.
Again he returned to The Capital office
and was sent to the District Nurse, who
might know a way to help him out, be-
ing trained along lines of all sorts OF
difficult work.
Next he was sent to the president of
the Federated Charities Board, who
questioned him at length, and caught
him in many byways of truth. He tol0
her his cousin was a midshipman NJ,
not a lieutenant NJ, as he had told this
office. He was asked why he did not
telegraph his parents in New York to
wire him the price of return ticket, ana
he said he had done so,but inquiry at
both telegraph Offices failed to reveal
the truth of this.
Insisting that he only wanted a re-
turn ticket to New York, the stranger
was again sent to the Mayor whom this
time lie located. AS the hour was late,
Mayor Strange and Sheriff Sullivan
dug .lown in their jeans" paid for a
return ticket to New York and paid for
the young mans lodging at the Hotel
