18 ft MELLOW FLAVOR THAT LASTS Chew "American Navy" and Get Real Tobacco Taste HIGH QUALITY, BIG VALUE All the enjoyment and satisfac tion of tobacco is in the taste. The only way to taste tobacco is to chew it. And the form of chew that gives you the most taste is the plug form. Compare a sweet, juicy chew of American Navy plug with a chew of the best "scrap" tobacco. Right away you'll see how much more tasty and enjoyable is American iNavy. American Navy is made entire ly of whole leaf—the same leaf that is used in making good cigars—and the - sweet, savory juices that nature puts into the ieaf are pressed evenly through the whole plug, so that every chew of American Navy fills you plumb full of tasty satisfaction. And that choice flavor of Amer ican Navy lasts. Get a 5c or ioc cut of Ameri can Navy from your dealer and try it. That will convince you.

It combines the latest and m ost advanced ideas for the various needs of the devotees of river sports and is managed under the supervision and laws of the city. The lower deck of the "Port" is used for the storing and rental of canoes and high-class boats while the up per deck offers enjoyment to all. Re freshments are served at all times, there is music, and dancing is permissible. Mr. Reist said to-day that he would welcome at any time those who desire to enjoy the pleasures of the Suehanna breezes from the deck, of his novel dock.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH STUDY FLOWERS WHILE AT PLAY School Authorities Experiment ing With "City Beautiful" Plan at Shimmell If. in the near future, Harrlsburg's host of school boys and girls do not fully appreciate the worth of the "city beautiful" idea, it will not be for lack of a practicable lesson constantly be fore their eyes in the way of floral adornment of the school grounds. An attractive scheme of grass, flow er, and shrubbery planting has been planned by the school board and the idea is now being experimented with around the Shimmell building. The same method will be followed In the floral and shrubbery adornment of the new W. S. Steele grounds In the upper end of the city if the Shimmell experiment is productive of expected results. The upper end grounds, how ever will probably not be planted be fore next year. And then, if the idea continues to hold good, the other buildings of the city will be similarly treated. j While the plan primarily is to incul j cate in the minds of the children a thorough appreciation of the beauties ' of nature, practical first-hand knowl i edge of botany, and sense of protection for trees and flowers, there is another end toward which the school authori ties have been working for the last few years—the -establishing of outdoor community center gathering places. The whole planting movement is the result of the united efforts of President A. Carson Stamm and School Director Harry A. Boyer, chairman of the buildings and grounds committee. The Planting Scheme The Shimmell school occupies two plots of ground at Seventeenth and Catherine streets, one of which is practically taken up by the building, the other, by the playground. Around the building grass and the heartier type of flowering shrub, has been planted. On the playground section there will be flowering shrubs of the huskier varieties although the colorful effect will be given the right of way. On this plot, too, there will be trees. There, too, is where the coming out door social center idea is to have a chance to bud. Benches will be placed about under the trees for the people of the neigh borhood who may wish to stroll over in the evenings and rest or chat amid the prettier surroundings! The boys' and girls' sides of the playground will be divided by a hedge of heavier shrubs, such as lilacs and similar plants. No fences will enclose any portion of the school grounds. "Our whole idea," explained Chair man Harry A. Boyer in discussing the subject to-day, "is to beautify the grounds in a fray that will suggest its own botanical lesson in a practical way, while at the same time, the child will learn to be thoughtful and care ful of the flowers and shrubs. If the experiment works out as we believe it will, the Steele grounds will be treated similarly next year and the other buildings will be improved in the same way. The scheme is very close to President Stamm's heart, and the other directors are equally enthusiastic. And," concluded Mr. Boyer smilingly, "from all neighborhood indications, the youngsters themselves are surely taking to it, admirably!" f = Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart Additional Friday Specials Special Friday From Special Friday From Special Friday From 8 A.

"The rations of all the captive Irish soldiers were cut down," Mr. Doyle said, "but in proportion to the rations of all the captive British soldiers, and was due to the food shortage in Ger many and not because of Casement's presence there." Mr. Doyle further stated that the eight counts in the indictment against Casement referred to acts committed in Germany, and that the British gov ernment refused a request made by Casement to bring sixty witnesses from Germany to testify in his behalf.
