from the vice president OF the
American Tobacco Company:
I'VE are working night and day
at very heavy extra expense to
do this thing, and are supplying
the goods at less than the jobbers'
prices, because we believe It is .
good work; it's something we un-
derstand best, and in which we
can therefore be most efficient.
You know what this work
means to the man at the front
whose nerves are tense; who IL
waiting. waiting, waiting, and
who must do SOMETHING or go to
pieces. To a man under these con-
ditions a few puffs at q cigarette
will mean more than a whole box
of cigars at home would mean.
I'VE are packing and shipping
these kits in a way to insure their
arriving in good shape; this re-
Quires a knowledge gained by
actual experience and the most
thorough study of conditions.
again, we thank you for join
ing us in the work.

As suggested by the Spanish War
Veterans, there should be q constant,
steady flow OF money to this fund to
keep up an uninterrupted supply OF
tobacco for the khaki-clad soldiers in
France. There should be no break
in this splendid service which the peo-
pie of Washington can give to our
boys in the trenches.
II you are Stacking in this patriotic
duty, you might give a moments
thought to the case Of Miss Grace II.
Hurley, OF cherrydsle, Va.
Baby Gives 26 Cents weekly.
This young lady Is just six weeks
old. On the day she was four weeks
old she. became interested in the
movement to send smokes to soldiers
and sent in a quarter. She did the
same thing when she was ive weeks
old. Today she is six weeks old and
you will find her name among the
contributors.
Figuratively and literally, she Is
the leader OF the infantry" and her
example is worthy OF emulation. How
are your as an emulatoF?
You could not buy half as much
pleasure with a quarter as you could
get out of contributing to The Wash
ington Times Tobacco Fund and feel
ing that you have done an American
soldier overseas a good turn. which he
will promptly acknowledge with a
postal card.
I'VE hope the boys will enjoy the
smokes as much as We enjoyed giving
our bit"
Federal Clerks Give SO.
That is the way the men and wom-
en- in the bureau OF investigation of
the Department Of Justice feel about
II. They contributed Sl0.3I and are
going to give some more soon.
Here's the frst check from a new
book for a good cause. May IL help
smoke out the Germans" is the way
r. R. Smith feels about 1t.
A contribution for 81 was received
today from the Thirty-sixth street
and Prospect avenue division OF the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company. The subscription list shows
that S4.20 was first collected and the
man who passed the hat thought he
had 1t all. Ten more men asked to be
allowed to contribute, and the fund
was increased to S6.T5. But that
wasn't all. Along came J. r. Worth
miller, who flicked '.two bits" into the
hat and a round 81 was contributed.
.. List Grows Rapidly.
That's the way II goes. Ifyou start
a subscription list It will increase far
beyond your dreams. Try IL.

a contribution every week hoping
these smokes will give the boys cour- !
age so they NAV eliminate the man.
