AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO, MAKE 1T BETTER

For good 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 just as cooking most foods improves
them.
TLey 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"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdemand
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.-Adv.

All Agreements with Former Allies
Thrown Aside by Russian People,
According to Terms Accepted

LondOn.-Russia's withdrawal from

including the opposition groups, recog-
niZed that the decision taken by the
commissioners was the only correct
and dignified outcome of the newly Gre

Speakers Confident.
''All the speakers expressed conf
dence that the masses of the peoples
of Germany and Austria-Hungary
would not permit new bloodshed on
the Russian front, for such an often
sive would have the character of an
open raid for plumber.
IN. Trotzky completed his report
with the statement that Russia was
withdrawing from the war, not only in
appearance but in reality, was throw
ing away all agreements with her for

in progress, was reserving for herself
complete freedom with respect to both
sides in her revolutionary policy.

gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
