WHY MEN
Chew TOBACCO
It's the Only Way That Real Tobacco
Hunger Can Be Entirely
Satisfied
"PENR's THICK" The IDEAL Chew

Since tobacco was first introduced
TO civilization, nobody has ever dis
covered so supremely satisfactory =
way to get all the favor and enjoy
ment out OF it as chewing it. And
no other form of chew can give you
the hearty, wholesome, juicy favor
that you get from delicious high
grade plug tobacco, like Penn's
Thick.
The secret of the greatest chew
ing satisfaction lies in the selection
of your chew. Among plug tobac-
cos the brand that gets the most en-
thusiastic endorsements is undoubt-
edly Penn's Thick. The reason tor
this is not hard to find.
Penn's Thick is made exclusively
of ripe, white Kentucky Burley-
the most richly-havored chewing to-
bacco that grows. Still more, only
the very choicest of all the Burley
leaf is used for Penn's Thick, and
you get its natural favor.
This choice leaf is selected with
the most painstaking care, is stem
med by hand, is thoroughly washed
free of all foreign matter and IS
pressed into plugs SO slowly that not
a drop of juice or an atom OF the
natural favor escapes.
The result is a sweet, mellow, lus-
cious. satisfying chew that cannot
be obtained in any other tobacco
than PENIS Thick. Try l0c cut

WOOD PULP SCARCE IN SPAIN
Supply of Gaiician Pine Has Been Cut of by the war-May Use
 Native Wood

The shortage in the supply of wood pulp for paper manufacture in Spain. and the high prices now demanded for this product Is causing some anxiety among paper manufacturers and pub fishers. Attention has been given to the advisability of the governments undertaking to stimulate the cultiva- tion of the poplar tree, the wood of which is preferred for pulp in Spain.
 Spain imports almost all the wood pulp required for its paper industries and exports to England much of the pine grown in Galicia, which Is highly resinous and not so we'll suited for paper manufacture as the less resinous pine Of Sweden and Norway. Expert ments. however, are to be made to ascertain If, by extracting the resin. native Spanish pine can be used, at feast as temporary substitute. Most of the local paper mills, 1t Is stated. cannot employ rag and jute wastes. their plants being adapted to wood and chemical puips. Nearly all the waste material, such as fiber waste, rags and bagging. are exported, the United States having become, since the war; the leading customer.

What happens when the accepted tune of national anthem is changed even with considerable care is revealed by this from Tom Daly'S column in the Philadelphia Evening Ledger: AS the opener of the exercises at the con vention of the National Association of Credit Men in Pittsburgh the words of America were sung to the new music arranged for them. When the applause had dwindled away, the presi- dent arose and said: I feel that our convention Is never properly begun un- less We sing the national anthem, so let us all arise now and sing Amer ica.""
