THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

"Our boys must have their
smokes. Send them cigarettes J"
This is a familiar appeal now to
all of us.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted ciga-
rette-LUCKY STRIKE. Thou
sands of this favorite brand have
been shipped to France. There
is something homeliKe and friend
ly to the boys in the sight OF the
familiar green packages with the
red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quail
ity of the LUCKY STRIKE ciga-
rette is largely due to- the fact
that the Burley tobacco used in
making it has been toasted. Its
toasted' was the Slogan" that
made a great success of LUCKY
STRIKE in less than year. Now

Paris.-A more extended sale of
horse meat is counted upon by the city
authorities to relieve the provisions
market The sale Of horse flesh for
many years has been considerable in
the poorer quarters Of Paris. 1t has
increased considerably during the w@r.
Last year 1884 horses were killed at
the Vanguard slaughter houses. The
increased supply Of horse meat had no
depressing effect upon prices, however.
The British army is now the chief
source of supply. More than $4,000
horses were received from that source
last year, yet the prices went from the
equivalent Of % cents a pound to Az
| cents for ordinary cuts and from 45 to
so cents a pound for the choice.
