AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
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, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a 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 1t into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any toba-c 60 product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting Is not
only most wholesome, but the favor Is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.-Adv.

License Sale Of Near-Booze.

By a vote Of II to 80, the house
passed a bill authorizing the sale of
n%on-alcoholic beverages that bear a re,
semblance to beer, now being manu-,
featured by nearly all the large brew,
cries, and fixing the retailers license
at $25,
The lawmakers reached a conclusion
that these beverages are in reality
less harmless than other soft drinks,
and since it is evident that they are
to become popular, the state may as
we'll derive revenue therefrom. The
statute merely amends the old near.
beer clause by reducing license from
$500 to $25 and specifying that such
beverages must contain no alcohol
whatsoever and be sold in original
packages only.
