BEST WAY TO USE
TOBACCO Chew 1T!
Most Wholesome and Enjoyable
Form of Chewing Tobacco
Is the Plug Form
"AMERIcAN NAVY" fastest PLUG

You'll always find that the most con-
tented tobacco users are the men who
chew. It's the only way that the whole
some, mellow-swcet leaf gets close to
the tongue and pleases the palate with
rich, juicy favor. And when the palate
is pleased, digestion is aided and the
general health promoted.
But the form of your chew is highly
important. While tobacco is made in
various forms for chewing, it is a fact
that no form has ever been discovered
which will compare in hea1thful and
satisfying quality with the old-fashioned
plug.
Chew frst-class plug tobacco, like
American Navy, with the delicious, ap-
petizing, digestion-promoting favor
pressed right into it and kept there, and
you get all the enjoyment and benefit
out of tobacco that the choicest leaf
can give you.
No SCRAP" chew made can compare
with American Navy. In SCRAP" only
pieces of leaf are used, while the schole
rich leaf goes into the American Navy
plug. Also SCRAP" being loosely pack
ed, can't possibly hold the fresh.
fruity favor of the leaf like a hard
pressed American Navy plug.
Your first trial of American Navy
will open your eyes to the genuine en-
joyment there is in tobacco when It's
pressed into golden-brown plugs and
chewed. In SC and 10c cuts.

tanned a successful optical practice by
travelling through the towns surround
ing Harrisburg and making residential
appointments for the examination of

ience, and the scientific instruments
required to test defects of vision to de-
termine the exact formula necessary

REAL ESTATE
CAN'T BUILD AN
APARTMENT HOUSE
Dauphin Court Asked to Pass
on Problem in Shearer-Gir-
vim Controversy

The question of whether or not an
apartment house can be considered q
single dwelling will likely be threshed
out in the Dauphin county courts in
the near future when the action be-
gun to-day by o. r. Girvin against
Joseph L. Shearer, Jr., is heard. The
suit is to recover some $1,000 in
claims growing out of a recent sale
of plot of ground from Shearer to
Girvin more than two years ago.
The plot is at the junction OF Sec
ond and Woodbine streets and the
deal was closed July 80, 1913, ac-
cording to the statement filed with the
Dauphin county court to-day. Ac-
cording to Girvin, Shearer agreed to
sell the ground for $3.50 and Cir
vim paid $500 to bind the bargain.
The understanding was that the re-
mainder was to be paid in two
months.
Girvin said that forthwith he be-
gan the erection of an apartment
house on the site and up until April
"a, 1914, he had expended S1,151.54
On that date Girvin says he was pre-
vented from erecting the apartment
house and attorneys said this was be-
cause the deed had stipulated that a
single dwellinghouse only could be
constructed there. Whereupon Girvin
began his suit to recover $4,000
damages.
