The bill follows closely the lines
of the leclamatlou act, creating In

known as the "walerpoHor develop

The bill is desixned not only to
furnish cheap power to consumers

provide the government with power

good chew rcU right next to your
taste, while the leaf in plug tobacco is
in a state'of fresh, juicy richness that
is not possible in any other form of to
bacco. There's no tobacco in the world that
can give jou the hearty, wholesome
flavor that jou yet from a delicious
chew of Spear Head.
Sptar Head is made exclusively of
ripe, red Kentucky Hurley the most
richly-fUyored chewing tobacco that
6rovs. Still more, only the tcry choic
est red Hurley leaf is used for Spear
Head.
TliU choice leaf is selected with the
most painstaking care, is stemmed by
hand, is thoroughly washed free of all
foreign matter, and is pres- d into
Spear Head p'us so slowly that not a
drop of juice or an atom of the nat
ural flavor cacanc.
Try Spear Head, and you'll ft a
sweet, mellow, luscious, satisfying chew
that cannot be oeuincd in any other i
