Amsterdam, April 25-Germany has
given no positive guaranty that ships
from America sailing in the next three
months for Switzerland will not be
sunk, it is shown by a semi-official
telegram from Eerlin today. The Ger
man government, says the message,
declares it is impossible to guaranty
safety for such vessels before three
months have elapsed for technical rea-
sons, as only after that time can 1t
be certain that all German warships
abroad will have received the order
to spare them. Referring to the fact
that such vessels will sail under the
American flag, the telegram says:
Should any German war vessel not
receive such order and sink one OF
these vessels, the responsibility will
not fall upon Germany, but upon the
president of the United States"

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a god many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way lust as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette" I"
and offered them to the public.
TheresuIt has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.

often offer the man lift"

struggling along with a huge bundle.
He stopped his car and said politely:
"Mayn't l give you lift, madam"
'In that thing?" she said. II never

"Well, jump in," he said. And when
she had climbed in and deposited the
bundle on the seat beside her they
started on.
After he had covered a mile Mr.
Jones became a little uneasy, but he
kept on for nearly another mile and
then turned and said, where do you
want to go, madam"
She gave him q broad smile and a
