TIE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
In the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking. we should say ciga-
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok-
ere of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name. LUCKY
STRIKE toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company arc
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, in most instances, that is the first
thing asked for.

Railroad Brotherhoods
Pay Tribute to Deceased

Mauch Chunk, Pa, June 10.-The
Federated Railroad Brotherhoods of
the Mauch Chunks observed their
twenty-third memorial day exercises
yesterday afternoon. The parade. led
by band marched from the court
house to the Upper Mauch Chunk
Cemetery, where the graves of the
members of the orders were deco
rated with flowers. The Rev. DIR. w.
M. Rehrig, pastor of st. Johns Lu-
theran Church, delivered the ora
ton.
The procession then marched to
81. Joseph's Cemetery, at East
Mauch Chunk, where the Rev.

Joseph's Church. delivered the ora
ton and his choir sang. At the
Evergreen Cemetery the Rev. R. ].

when the church had an enrolment
of $50 members and the Sunday
school of 500. Since then the church
has made tremendous growths with
the enrollments being 1900 and 1472
respectively. This is all the more
striking when it is considered that
two other churches, the Calvary and
Emmanuel, have sprung from 1t.
Officials of this church believe
that Judge McCarrelPs forty years
service as superintendent help to
create a record unmatched in Sunday
school work in the United States.
Judge McCarrell and his predeces-
sor. James w. Weir, have served as
superintendent of the church for the
past eighty-four years, Mr.. Weir be-
coming superintendent in 1885 and
leaving the superintendency only at
his death in 1873. Judge McCarrell
is only the third male superintendent
and the sixth superintendent that
the Sunday school has had during
its 103 years of existence.
In addition to his duties as super
church, Judge McCarrell took an
active interest in Calvary Church,
one of the offshoots, and has taught
one of the many classes there for
many years. He assisted in organ
izing one of the earliest organized
adult Bible classes in the United
States in this church.
John DeGray has succeeded Judge
McCarrell as superintendent of the
Sunday School,

FOR TRAVELLERS
New Rate Now in Effect Makes
Many Trips Ex-
pensive

Travelling expenses took a big jump
last night. Effective at midnight, the
new rate is now three cents a mile.
This charge will be made, no matter
how many travel in a party, or how
far one wants to go. The McAdoo
order hits everybody. AS result of
this increase railroad officials look
for Il big decrease in travel.
In addition to the increase in the
rate per mile, passengers must pay
one-sixth more for carfare if they
ride III Pullman cars, along with the
regular Pullman rate. To all fares
will also be added the war tax. eight
per cent. No return tickets will be
sold. All tickets must be used with
in forty-eight hours after purchase
is made or the buyers will lose tho
price Of ticket.
Fare to New York
The fare to New York one way is
S4.90, with Pullman fare 81 and
per cents war tax. $6 in round fig
ures. The new rate will be s5.s5 for
195 miles, plus eight per cent. war
tax, AZ cents, which gives you a ride
in a regular coach. If you take
Pullman privileges you pay $1.O5
more for fare, and s1.10 for Pull
man, bringing the total up to $S.47.
Allowing 1O4 miles distance to
Philadelphia. the present rate. in
Guiding war tax is $2.S1. Under the
new rate 1t will be $4.45 for coach
privileges. For Pullman accommo-
dations the fare will be increased "a
cents, and with the regular Pullman
rate and war tax added So cents
more, making the total cost of trip
to Philadelphia s6.74.
Hits Baseball Hard
Baseball teams. theatrical compan-
les and circuses will be hard hit by
the new rate. 1t is estimated that
each major league team travels be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 miles in
season and will have to pay a fare
increase equal to 40 per cent. Be-
cause of the new rates many summer
gatherings will be cut out during the
war.
Local travellers who use commu-
tation tickets, or travel frequently
from twenty to fifty miles, will also
find it costly. The distance between
Harrisburg and Lancaster is thirty
six miles. The present rate with war
tax is 81 cents. under the new rate
it will be S1.16.

investigation of complaints that some
Pullman agents are refusing to give
information over the telephone as to
whether seats or berths are avail

the railroad administration to give
no such information over the tele-
phone.
No instructions of that nature
have been issued. officials declare.
Pullman agents, however, have been
instructed not to make telephone
reservations, because many appli-

and this resulted in empty berths,

piled in vain.
