PLUG chewing
A WHOLESOME
Habit
limo 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.
Il began chewing some years ago"
said one, "and | 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 clcanest 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 favor 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 excep-
tionally pure, being made in a fac
tory that's run strictly according to
pure-food rules"
Spear Head is made of sun-ripened
Burley, 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 whole
some relish that is not found in any
other chewing tobacco. In l0c cuts,
wrapped in wax paper.

Lawrence WELLER Tells tuberculosis
Congress There Was Less Disease
Prior to Erection of Dwellings.

The health and prowess of the Amert-
can Indian before he was placed in houses
on reservations was cited to show that
bad housing conditions is one of the chief
causes of tuberculosis by Lawrence Veil
Ter, secretary Of the National Housing
Association. addressing the National As
sociation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis, at the Willard last night.
TO my mind" said Mr.. WELLER, bad
housing conditions are the first thing to
attack in getting at the causes of tuber-
culosis. Bad housing. l believe, is worse
than bad working conditions"
Prof. Livingston Farrand. president OF
the University Of Colorado, presided. Fol-
lowing Mr.. Veiller's address the relation
Of housing to tuberculosis was discussed
by the 800 delegates attending the con-
Yention.
Papers on practically every phase OF
the tuberculosis problem will be read by
experts today. Tonight the delegates will
close the convention with a business ses-
sion. at which resolutions urging new
steps in the fight against the great white

With a notwithstanding high-jump con-
test between the present record holder
and a strong contender, a day Of cham
pionshlp contests yesterday wound up the
most successful horse show Washington
has ever known and one which, with re-
spect of many of the classes represented
offered more than did the big Madison
Square Garden show of last winter.
The largest and most interesting at
tendance of the show turned out to
watch the closing and stayed until the
bugler blew Taps" at $50 o'clock. The
first part Of the program included a num-
ber of local hunting classes, and the
championship contests wound up the bill
The high jump contest between Con-
fidence, holder of the present record of
eight feet, and Skyscraper ended in a
draw, with the bars at seven feet, Dom
nelly riding Norton's Confidence, and
Monahan upon Mrs. G. H. Chipchase's
Skyscraper, determining to split the
purse without trying for a higher mark.
The jumping started at five feet and the
bar was raised six inches at time. Con-
hdence started out clearing the bar like
a deer at each attempt, while Skyscraper
jumped with close margins
Confidence Clears Bars.
Confidence cleared the bar without a
knock until the seven-foot level was
reached, when he slowed down percepti-
bly, and barely managed to get over
without knocking the top bar down on
his third attempt. Skyscraper, on the
other hand. worked himself over the
seven-fOot bar on the first try. and there
the jumping stopped.
The single harness horse championship
class was perhaps the closest contest of
the entire show. Judge William H.
Moore entered his beautiful bay Bounti-
full. which Miss Constance Vauclaln,
whose entries have been pushing the
Moore stables hard. entered her Lady
Dilham and Princess ShieIa. Reginald
Vanderbilt and George B. Hulme were
doing the judging and Mr. Vanderbilt
himself drove each of the entries around
the ring. He and Mr.. Hulme found
themselves unable TO reach an agreement
between BOuntiful and Lady Dilham, and
the services of Howard G. Davidson were
called in. with the result that Bountiful
got the blue.
Oracle Defeats Katydid.
In the lightweight hunters champion
ship class, Arthur Whites Oracle won
from Miss Buchanan's Katydid on con-
formation, Miss Buchanan's famous hun

DUTCH SHIPPERS AROUSED
BY BRITISH COAL ORDER
Vessels Running to South American
Ports Likely to Be Seriously
Crippled.

THE HAGUE. April is. via London.
April 1s.-The British order making
German bunker coal liable to seizure
has caused CONSERVATION to Dutch
shipping circles because they very
largely use German coal as English is
not obtainable in sufficient quantities
and Dutch coal is deficient In steam
raising qualities.
The now measure affects steamers
plying between Holland and North
America to a lesser degree. because
they will be able to fill their bunkers
at American ports, although they will
lose 10 per cent of their cargo space
on account of having to take on
enough coal for a double voyage. 1t
voyaging to South American ports and
the Dutch colonies.
A Dutch official communication states
that the minister Of trade and com
merce conferred with the managers of
the Royal Netherlands Steamship Com
pany and the Holland Lloyd. two of
the chief companies running Soutnl
American and colonial services. who
complained that in exchange for filling
the bunkers of their steamers at Eng
lish coaling stations Great Britain de-
mands 80 per cent Of the vessels cargo
space. The minister gave the managers
to understand that Dutch cargo space
must remain at the disposal Of the
Dutch government. which cannot per-
NIT the possibility of Dutch vessels
being unable to carry supplies of
which their own country are in great
need.
