SNYDER, VILLA'S SHORTCOMING One of "Pancho" Villa's for mer military advisers says the bandit chief is a powerful driver of men, but knows no strategy. Ah! Then he is totally Ignor ant of the strategic value of sending a boatload of women and children to death with a torpedo; or of starving a prov ince full of babies by cutting off the milk supply; or Of stifling men by the thousands with chlo rine; or of dropping 'bombs on hospitals; or of firing broadsides at Red Cross ambulances. Truly, instead of facing a ccurtmartial, he should be sent to a military academy and taught to shine the officers' shoes Kansas City Star. !

P::!l CHEWING ii WHOLESOME . HABIT In Kb Other Way Can You Get AH the Richness and F!vor of the Leaf "SPEAR HEAD" BEST CHEW Many prominent physicians declare chewing to be the most wholesome way of enjoying tobacco. "I begr :i chewing some years aKo," said one, "ai.d I soon found that it is the only way to get the benefit of all ti e rich juices stored up by nature in the tobacco leaf. I refer, of course, to the finer form of tobacco, which is the most natural and the cleanest 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. ' "I 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-npened Eiirlcy, which is acknowledged to be the richest,' mildest, finest flavored to bacco lcr.f in the world. And it is produced by the latest pripesses, which develop the quality and luscious flavor of the choice Burley to the supreme de rree. A chew of Spear Head has a whole some relish that is not found in any other ch-viiitr tobacco. In 10c cuts, wrapped in wax pp.per. ANTHRAX CURED BY SERUM.
