PLUG CHEWING
A WHOLESOME
HABIT
In No Other Way Can You Get All the
Richness and Flavor of the Leaf
SPEAR HEAD" BEST CHEW

Many prominent physicians declare
chewing to be the most wholesome way
OF enjoying tobacco.
81 began chewing some years ago"
said one, land l soon found that it is
the only way to get the benefit of all
the rich juices stored up by nature in
the tobacco leaf. | refer, of course, to
the plug form of tobacco, which is the
most natural and the c1eanest form.
Chewing good tobacco like Spear
Head makes the salivary glands more
active, which in turn has a beneficial
effect on the whole system. Add to this
the sweet, mellow, delicious flavor of a
chew of Spear Head, and you have
the highest possible degree of tobacco
satisfaction.
Il mention Spear Head because I
have found that this brand is exception
ally pure, being made in a factory
that's run strictly according to pure
food rules"
Spear Head is made of sun-ripened
Bur1ey, which is acknowledged to be
the richest, mildest, finest favored to-
bacco leaf in the world And it is
produced by the latest processes, which
develop the quality and luscious flavor
of the choice Burley to the supreme de-
gree.
A chew of Spear Head has a whole
some relish that is not found in any
other chewing tobacco. Try Sc or
lOc cut.

OFFERS TO SELL PLANT

POCATELLO, Ida. -Following the
proposal made by Alec Murray, a rep
resentative of the Pocatello Water
company, to the city council recently
and the proposition having been filed
without much material discussion,
great deal of interest had developed as
to the best process to adopt in the
matter. There is much difference Of
opinion as to the purchase of the
plant, some advocating that it is the
best plan for the city to build the
plant, others declaring that much
trouble would be avoided by buying it
at the advanced price. Much interest
is being shown and the council has
proposed to place in the hands of sew
eral competent individuals petitions
which are in the nature Of vote on
the plan for requirement Of the sys-

NEXT HEARINGS
WILL Be HELD
IN DETROIT CITY
Where Consumers Of Coal Pro-
test against Increased Rates
from This State.
(By G. {. McIntOsh.)


HUNTINGTON. August 9.-Tho next
hearing in the coal rate case will be
heard In Detroit. commencing Sep
tember 25,
This hearing will be an important
one. The testimony Of number OF
Michigan coal dealers and consumers,
who are protesting against the In
creased rates, will be taken before
Examiner II. c. Marshall. II is con-
tended by them that tho proposed In
crease would add $2,500OO0 per year
TO the cost OF coal brought from West
Virginia mines. They join heartily
and forcibly in the contention that the
railroads did not ask for an increase
in tho difforcntlals because tho rail-
roads needed the additional revenue,
but 10 meet political exigency In
Ohio. due to the threat Of tho Ohio
public utilities commission to lower
rates on Ohio rUnG shipped from that
field into Central Freight Association
territory, unless the rates from the
West Virginia fields were advanced TO
increase the dIfrerontial.
West Virginia coal Is favorite IN
Michigan markets, and tho dealers
there have been using It to the excIus-
ion OF Ohio and Indiana coal, not
withstandlng the existing diferential
OF twenty-five cents ton. To widen
the dlfferenctial an extra fifteen cents
| n ton would be rulnous to the business
and would force the Michigan con-
sumers to use an inferior coal.
At this meeting the evidence taken
in previous hearings will be summed
I'M and the railroads and shippers will
be given an opportunity to prepare
and submit briefs to the commission.
IL is anticipated that this will be the
final hearing Of the case.
