''SPEAR HEAD
The Famous Chew with the
Delicious, Fruity Flavor
That Lasts
MADE BY MODERN PROCESSES

You want to get all the enjoyment
and benefit possible out of tobacco.

You want your chew to have the
wholesome appetizing richness of ripe

You want a plug with deliciously
sweet and mellow flavor that lasts as

One chew of Spear Head will con-
vince any man that there's no other to-

lasting flavor. That's because all the
natural juices of the choicest Burley
leaf are retained in Spear Head
The making of Spear Head is con-
Quoted strictly according to pure-food
methods in a great modern factory that

The most expensive modern processes
keep Spear Head fresh, sweet and pure
at every stage.
The luscious plug of Spear Head
from which you bite the fastest. whole

self, for soon there is no more
to waste. There comes time
when the bank runs dry and the
easy money flows no more. But
this frightful waste of food can
go on year in and year out, and
yet we wonder why living costs
so high.
It takes four years to raise a
porterhouse steak, and to send
half of it back to the kitchen
is an economic crime. If you
waste a forest, soon the last
trees will be cut. If you waste
land it will soon be barren. If
you waste time, you will never
succeed. If you waste money,
you will soon have no more to
waste, but you can keep on
wasting food until you eat no
more, and wonder why you are
poor. Better take inventory of
what goes out in the garbage
bucket and see how much you
contribute towards this enor-
nous sum, so big in it's proper
tons that we fail to grasp it's
magnitude.-A. B. A.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1916-10-11

passing these as permissible,
the most inexcusable waste is in
the line of food. It is not what
comes in the front door, partic-
ularly, that counts, but what
goes out of the kitchen.
The total cost of food in this
country cannot be even approx
mated, but eminent authorities
place a dollar a day as fair
average for the food value Of
the American people. This means
cost of about $5,2O0,O0O,OO0
each year. So eminent an au-
thority as Doctor Wiley esti-
mates that ait least one-quarter
of this is wasted. And this is
entirely possible. Notice as you
dine at restaurants how much
untouched food goes back to the
kitchen-not to feed some poor
err mortal, but to go out in the
garbage. It seems so perfectly
natural for some people to mere
ly play with a dinner, sending
choice cuts of meats and fowls
back to the garbage can. We
waste more than we eat. If the
Doctor is right, this means a
food waste of $1,30O,OO0,0OO a
year and the pity is it does no
one any good-not even the pigs,
for they would thrive better on
less costly diet. One large
county hotel a few years ago
lost most of it's lerd of 800 hogs
from feeding "swell swiu." This
food, if conserved, would feed
all the poor. It would build ten
battleships. 1t would buy all
the land in some states. It would
pay off the national debt in a
single year. It would run the

OUR CRIMINAL WASTE OF
FOOD.

When a calamity such as the
San Francisco earthquake, the
Dayton flood or the sinking of
the Titanic occurs, the world
stands aghast at the frightfu.
waste of life and property as
measured in dollars and cents,
and the whole world pays the
penalty. But these happenings
cannot be averted. They are
costly but infrequent-part of
the price of our modern civil
cation, and constitute but a small
fraction of the waste cost of the
world.
We wouldn't burn a forest
knowingly, but we would burn
the lumber that comes out of it.
Nations do not waste their big
things willingly. Only a great
war can ever bring a nation to
the point of destroying life and
property recklessly, as part of
the game. But there is waste
that is going on constantly that
is more costly even than war,
as costly as war may be; for
war accomplishes something
at least it settles a quarrel. The
waste we refer to is the waste
of little things, for these in the
aggregate prove as costly, al
though less noticeable, than the
waste Of larger ones.
While little indulgences, such
as drinking, smoking, candy and
sodas, are not particularly waste
they are not profitable expendi-
lures. They get us nowhere and
do no particular good. But even

WOMEN EARNING THEIR
WAY.

Times change and women
change with them. The bust
ness f getting a husband has
been superseded now by the
business Of earning money. That
is the opinion of millions of
Wo;,.en, and writer in a cur
rent publication tells how they
do it. "As late as fifty years
ago, a girls life was marked by
a certain simplicity of purpose.
Her business was to get a hus-
band! Never mind what kind.
Just get him. It was terrible
thing to be called an old maid
also, aside from the ridicule
of spinsterhood, there was the
added fact that it involved de-
tendency on some tolerant rela-
tive. Who doesn't remember
the old maid aunts of our
childhood, always busy, fitting
over the house in cap and shawl,
and getting their happiness in
the happiness of others. Why,
they were old women at forty !!
what else was there for
them to do except to marry?
The professions and trades were
closed to them, business had
not yet opened it's doors, and
the stage was regarded as not
being quite nice Woman's one
place was the home and if
she didn't have one, that was
her fault and not mans. But
it is different now.
LESS than fifty years ago!
Today eight million women are
at work figuring in every de-
partment of human endeavor.
There are more than four hun
dred occupations, l believe, and
women are to be found in all
except railroad engineers and
telegraph linesmen. No avenue
is closed to them, and society
not only admits woman's right
to sane individuality, but en-
courages her in the development
of her capabilities"
That is not all the story. The
writer of the magazine article
should have gone on farther
and told his readers that the
invasion of women workers into
the ranks that once were mono
polized by men will continue to
grow larger and larger as the
years roll by. With the adop-
ton of woman suffrage in many
states members of the fair sex
are sure to enter the domain of
politics and that means not a
few of them will soon hold pub
lie office-thus driving mere
men, who have had their noses
in the trough, into other fields
of endeavor.
There are many women who
would much prefer to hold an
office or work for their own liv-
ing than '1be young mans
slave or an old mans darling"
There is, they believe, more
genuine independence in work.
ing in office, store or factory,
than there is in presiding as
queen over some mans house
hold and looking after his COM
forts. They much prefer a po-
sition where they can go and
come to suit their own convent
ence and pleasure rather than
answer the beck and call of hus-
band. It is their Independent
spirit which predominates. At
heart they are kind and consid-
crate and lose none of their
womanly charm in the task of
earning their own livelihood

asked to fashion into spring

the best effort at millinery and
Miss Lynch was presented with

During the afternoon Mrs.
