are completely tax exempt and conse.
quently there is demand for them by
presons subject to high rates of addi'

them to sell higher in the market than

IMPORTANT TO TRUSTEES AND

The following act passed at the
last session of the legislature is of
much Importance to school teachers
and trustees. Senator E. c. Ridgell
of this county took a deep interest
in this act and was instrumental in
it's passage.

TIE 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 itmay 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.

All Kinds of Kidney,

TELLS HOW HE DID IT

"Anybody who has suffered with
kidney, bladder and indigestion trou-

says the City Marshal and Tax Col
lector of Winter Haven, Florida.
II had severe pains in and around
my kidneys and in my bladder and
would have to climb out
of bed as often as 8 or 9 times in a
night. 1t put me to whole lot OF
suffering not to mention expense.
NV food sometimes wouldn't digest
at all, and I was getting alarmed
about my condition when friends VINO
had found out about Acid Iron Min
eral started me taking it. The pains
in my kidneys and bladder disap-
peared and instead of crawling out
of bed at all hours of the night my
sleep got so peaceful and it did me
so much good I know it will help
people troubled 1ike I was. l want to
pass the glad tidings along to others
because I know what a hard time 1
had locating a real remedy. My dl-
gestion and appetite got better and
I can eat anything I want now. NO
sour stomach and indigestion trou-
bles on my menu anymore" declares
Winter Haven's City Marshal and
Tax Collector, B. F. Norman.
