10 anyone who doesn't know of the

The American Tobacco Company are
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.

United States District At

PrecariOus Condition
BROTHER HASTENS
TO HIS BEDSIDE.
Physicians Say Crisis will be
Reached Today-He is Son
Cape County.

Col. Arthur l.. Oliver, United
States District Attorney at st. Louis,
was stricken at his home in that city
Yesterday morning and at an early
hour today was reported to be in
precarious condition. He was remov-
ed from his home to st. Johns Hos
pital and several physicians are using
heroic means to save his life.
Col. Oliver had been confined to his
home for the past two weeks with
what his physician diagnosed as
grippe. He had been able to con-
duct the business of his Office from
his sick room, and it was not believed
that his illness would develop seri-
ously.
Early yesterday he suffered a sink
ing spell and lapsed into uncon-
seriousness. He was hurriedly remov-
ed to St. Johns Hospital where sew
eral eminent physicians were called
into consultation.
His brother, Charles C. Oliver, the
jackson editor, was summoned to st.
Louis at noon yesterday and reached
Col. divers bedside early last even
ing. He communicated with members
of the family over the telephone last
night and reported Col. divers con-
dition as precarious. The attending
physicians will not know definitely
until today whether eh will survive
the attack.
Col. Oliver has not been in normal
health for several months but his
lcondition was not alarming. Add
::tional work brought on by the many
violations of the Federal laws enact
ed since the outbreak of the war has
|been a strain on Col. Oliver. Efforts
lhave been made to get additional as
distance for him but without success
land Col. Oliver and his aids have beer
lcompelled to work day and night. This
confinement and long hours have
weakened Col. divers physical con-
jdition and is responsible, his physl-
Icians say, for his collapse.
Arthur l.. Oliver is one of the hes
known native born sons of this coun
ltv. While he has lived in recent years
