AND ROW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

Tor a good marsy years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series Of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And il is interesting to know that one
Of the greatest Of their discoveries was one
Of the simplest, and that was. that cooking
VI 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 it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in
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.

GIVE FRANK SLAvIN
PRAISE AS SOLDIER
Famous Prize Fighter Wars Most
Remarkable Private.
Volunteered at Beginning Of War and
When Turned Down on Account OF
Age Recruited Own Army
Refused Commission.

Frank Slavin Is back IN Canada for Il
short rest after nearly three years Of
fighting on the battle lines in France.
There is material for a score of ad-
venture stories in the career of Slavln.
Altogether he Is the most remark
able private soldier Of the great war.
Slavin was born in Maitland, n, 5.
W., the birthplace Of that more remark
able great Australian fighter, Les
Darcy, on January 3, 1862.
When he was twenty-five years old
he became professional prize fighter
fighting under London prize-ring rules
and defeating many good men in Aus
tralia. He fought Peter Jackson in n
barrOOm in sydney ana was beateD
But he knocked out Tom Burke for TN"
championship of Queensland and u
GI0O purse.
In 1887 he came 10 America, fought
several good battles and went to Eng
land, where he fought Jem Smith for
the championship Of England At
Bruges, Belgium. Slavin was beating
Smith when gang of Smith hackers
broke down the ring and attacked
Slavin with clubs and brass knuckleS
The light was called Il draw" but the
purse was afterward paid TO Slavin.
He knocked out Joe McAuliiTe, the
Mission Giant, in two rounds in Lon
don, returned to America and beat
IulFn Il f1t.afn In tfnn in IInhn-
ken, went back TO England and was
knocked out by Peter Jackson after
stubborn fight, fighting for a purse Of
$4,000
Jim Hall knocked Slavin out, and
then SIavin knocked out the Coffee
Cooler and several other good men.
Returning to America Slavin went
up to Alaska in the big gold rush and
became a mining engineer.
When the great war started Slavin
at once volunteered, but was turned
down because Of his age, although he
was Il remarkably strong and hardy
man, and accustomed to all the hard
ships of the Arctic. He refused 10 stay
out of the war, and managed to enlist
up in the Yukon. Within q month
Slavin recruited 500 men for his bat
talon, the SiXty-seventh, of Vancou-
Yer. He was offered commission,
but refused it saying that he preferred
TO stay in the ranks with the men he
had enlisted. Crossing to England most
of the men in the SiXty-seventh We're
to the Fourth Pioneers.
Probably Frank Slavin will insist on
going back to the front. He is the
kind of man who won't be kept away
from the fighting.

MAY YET ASToNISH WORLD
Always Possibility of Recrudescence
of Ghengis Khan in Mysterious
Land of Northern China.

TIE wayfarer in China who turns
south to Anglicized Hongkong, multi.
tudinous Canton, or that vivid hybrid
Of East and West, Shanghai, fails even
to brush the strangest and most an
Client mystery Of the dragon kingdom.
That mystery lies in North China. an
immemorial mystery that wraps Pc
king like an imperial mantle. somber
northern inscrutibility that enfOlds the
great wall as impenetrably as the mists
Obscuring its turrets, says Asia. 1t
is mystery so invincible. that once
IN q mans blood there is little choice
left behind him but to follow its lure
on aAd on, seeking it's source in that
hinterland still farther to the north.
From the great wall one can gaze far
over this unknown land rushing swift
ly away TO the. north, not days, but
months, by caravan. Once yellow
armies flooded across it as the sun
shine floods acros it today. Now
single horseman picks his way along
the trail. Over all brooks the utterly
vanished ed-frOm-the-earth silence which
marks the home of n people who are
no more Is there no life now in thai
stiffness, which once beat so fiercely
upon the civilization below that a bar
rler must be hurled against it over the
mountain tops? What of these latter
day sons of Ghenis Khan?

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR 1918
Outdoor Sports Begin Season With
Better Outlook Than Last Year
Panic Worn Off.

outdoor sports will begin the 1918
season with brighter prospects than
they saw at the close Of the 1917 sea-
son. The first panic Of warfare has
worn off, cool heads are dominating
the athletic councils and both manag-
ers and athletes are realizing that their
part in the national life is an impor-
tant one. Adjustments are being made
in every branch of sport, but not ad-
iustments thar will interfere with the
games. Probably there will be no
sport during the coming season that
will eXperienc. an extraordinary boom,
but there will likewise be no slump
great enough to Kill any branch of ath-
letics providing that particular sport
adjusts itself to war conditions and
follows safe-and-sane policy.

Our boys are defending this country
on the high seas and on the land. Our
own defense against a common enemy
is 10 keep the system clean by Kidding
the body of the toxins, or poisons, which
are bred in the intestines. When y"u
feel tired, sleepy, headachy, when your
brcuth Is offensive. or pimples appear
on the face and neck, Il Is time TO recog-
nlze the danger and protect your bodily
health by taking something for the llveg
such as DIR. Plerce's Pleasant Pellets.
The machinery of the body needs to
be oiled, kept in good condition, just as
the guns or machinery of n ship. Why
should a human person neglect his own
machinery more than that of his auto,
mobile or his guns? Yet most people
do neglect themselves. Their tongue
has a dark brown color, skin sallow,
breath bad, yet they fail to see that
their machinery needs attention.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets have
been known for nearly half a century.
They are made of May-apple, leaves Of
aloe and jalap, made into tiny pellet
and coated with sugar. They are stand

them at any drug store in walls for

Powerful Exterminator.

In India and Australia a rat and
rabbit exterminator was tested some
time ago. 1t consists of an outer and
inner metal shell, like one small egg
in a larger one. In the outer shell is
sulphurie acid, in the inner metal egg
is dry cyanide of potash. The outer
shell is filled with acid and placed in
the rat hole or burrow, and all rat
holes are tightly sealed. After an hour
or so the acid eats into the cyanide
and turns loose lot of deadly prussic
acid gas.
