FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day of the caveman, who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned a lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po-
tatoes as they come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri-
can Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED ?
This wonderful new idea-simple
like all great inventions-was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette-made of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burley has a mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. It is a pipe to-
bacco andLUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes
taste like pipe. Adv.

Don't Despair
Every cause has 4 weak member.
Every great faith some irresponsible
doubt.
Every strong law some undisciplined
denial.
SO the world goes on.
Finding success through failure.
How many times have you failed?
NOT all of you, part of you.
Yet you couldn't stop.
Neither can the world at war.
Russia is q reminder.
Where is our personal organization
weak?
How much does ignorance hold us
back?
Are you surrendering confidence to
suspicion,
Is seltishness binding us to our
whole human duty?
Are we bedeviled with "cold feet"
and a shot head?"
We say: "POor Russia, or rotten
Russia" according to our sympathy or
our prejudice.
I'VE know how Russia feels, because
we've known discord and disorder in
our own hearts-before the steady
mind took firm control.
Russia is the worlds big example
in unfitness.
Don't blame Russia, but avoid Rus
sia's misfortune.
/, Let's study Russia and stop what
ever in us Is Russian disorder.
Russia is translating suffering into
strength, ignorance into wisdom. van
ity into sanity.
Probably doing the best she can !;
blind and broken as she is.
1t is easy to say: "Take out a car
and put in man of the people,"
1t is just as easy to say; 'Take out
carbuncle Of corruption and put in
the contentment of perfect health"
1t is an instant theory; an endless
and distressing operation.
SO the world waits and struggles,
cursing or praying over the delay and
the disgrace.
Russia seems to have been inevi-
table-a chapter of experience the al
lied world had to read.

not only as direct source of revenue,
but as an aid in conserving moisture
for cultivated lands and also as a
source Of beauty. And if one wishes
to look at the matter commercially,
beauty of landscape is in these days
recognized as distinct and valuable
asset. There is needed more trees
and wider and better understanding
among the people as to what may and
should be done in the way of planting
trees and improving forests.
1t is among young people that this
interest In trees must be cultivated ;
they must learn the Importance of or
chards and forests and If love for
trees can be inculcated it will prove
itself in years to come by many a tree

Theodore Wolff, writing in the Ber-

Lord Robert Cecil's declaration that
he is an advocate of peace, says:
1--WE are confronted with the trag-
