THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok-
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY
STRIKE "-the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, in most instances, that is the first
thing asked for. ADV.

NO BRIGHT MONEY
Mrs. Billtops Rises to Height of
SeIf-Sacrifice.
She Had a "Good Thing" In Her Ar
rangement with the Partner Of
Her Joys and Sorrows, but
Patriotism Came First.

Something unexpected has hap
pened," said Mr. Billtops. "Something
quite unexpected.
"You know, for years have been CIV
ing Mrs. Billtops all my bright money.
Whenever I got bright dime or quar-
ter or half I simply turned it over to
Mrs. Billtops.
There might be weeks when l
would not get a single bright coin;
but there would be other weeks in
which l would receive in change
considerable number. Altogether these
bright coins provided for Mrs. B.
tidy bit of revenue, and I am sure it
was as great pleasure for me to turn
them over to Mrs. Billtops as it was
for her to receive them, though once
this bright money proposition did give
me little scare.
Il dropped into candy store one
day to get some candy for Mrs. Bill
tops and there in change for S. bill
l received two bright dimes and four
absolutely spick and span bright new
81 bills
"Well, now, there was something to
make you stop and think. Under our
understanding 1 was to give Mrs. Bill
tops all bright money 1t is true that
by that understood bright coins, and
/ had no doubt that Mrs. Billtops did,
too, but the promise from me was of
all bright money and on a strict in
depreciation, which 1 did not desire to
evade, there was nothing for me to do
but to turn over with the two bright
dimes those four bright dollars. Which
I did.
"But Mrs. Billtops declined to re-
ceive them.
"'No, Ezra she said, mo. We both
understood bright money to mean
bright coins, and we will go not by
the letter of the contract but by the
spirit. Ezra, you keep the 81
(Which l did, and 1 was always glad
she settled it that way, for the oppo-
site Interpretation of my obligation
might sometimes have subjected me to
considerable inconvenience.
Suppose I should some day have
gone into a candy store and laid down
not SIS bill but $1,000 bill and re-
ceived in change $4,000 all in bright
money, which by the contract should
have been required to turn over to
Mrs. Billtops. Why, / have seen the
time when handing over that amount
of money in that way would have
cramped me quite some.
But never have I failed to hand
over all bright coins, year after year
continuously, until yesterday, when
that something unexpected happened
when Mrs. Billtops said to me:
Ezra, no more bright money.
have always been glad to get it for
the sentiment of it and for the use I
could make Of it, but you need the
money more now and from now on you
keep it and use it as you would any
other money and I will deny myself
that luxury. No more bright money,
Ezra, from now until the end of the
war
Unexpected it certainly was, but
still it was only what you would have
expected her to do, if you knew Mrs.
BilltOps."

TODAY'S ADJUSTMENTS
GRECIAN-MABEL NORsIAND.


Mabel Normand appears at the Gre
clan again today in her second Gold
Wyn play, The Floor Below"
This is certainly a fitting picture
for Lovable Mabel It gives her every
opportunity to display her peculiar
aptness for comedy. at the same time
she is seen in this play IN a role that
IS as pathetic as it is laughable.
In The Floor Below she is seen
as a little mischievous girl who is
sadly misunderstood, who is thought
to be all bad" but who triumps in
the end much to the qualification OF
the young millionaire who has learned
to love her, and the spectators who
are amused and surprised by turns
at her queer antics.
The Floor Below" will be shown
at the Grecian today for the last time.
Tomorrow the Grecian offers Nine.
