FOODS TASTE BETTER Cooked
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day of the caveman. who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of Us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po-
tatoes as ticy come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great die-
covery recently made by The Ameri.
can Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED
This wonderful new idea-simplc
like all great inventions-was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette--made Of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burley has a mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. 1t is a pipe to-
bacco and LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes

Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin,

Charles foolish looks and movements
he is very handsome little chap.
While they were all making speeches
several aeroplanes were flying over the
immense crowds dropping Liberty

stunts. Later the British tank" Brit

What Frightfulness Means

Published under direction Of Wisconsin Defense

Many Americans have found ii hard
to believe that German soldiers would
commit the atrocities with which they
are charged. Even when confronted
by the evidence of the barbarous
deeds we have been inclined to think,
These were individual acts. But the
army as whole cannot be guilty. be-
cause officers would not command sol
iiers 10 perform such acts, and sol
diers even if commanded would not
obey but revolt
But German autocracy had taken
care TO prevent just such a revolt Of

Staff OF the German army published

OUR COMMON COUNCIL.

The Common Council of the City of
Wauwatosa is composed of eight good
men. There are two new members
added to the old board, John DeSwarte
from the Second Ward and Ben Wood
from the Third Ward. Willard Not
bohm and John Krafczyk were the
unanimous choice of their wards. The
Mayor and Common Council have done
a lot of work during the past two
years and have made fine showing,
and wherever they have spent any
money they have received good value
for the same. We predict that the
administration will leave no stone un-
turned during the next two years to
build up and improve streets in our
beautiful little city, and will also see
to it that all sidewalks are put into
shape. BY the way, you can see by
the officials appearing in this weeks
issue that they intend to see to it that
sidewalks are laid in due time.
The people of our city should en-
courage and help at every hand and
support the Mayor and the Council
during the next two years. There is
not man among them who is not
willing but anxious to receive advice
and listen to same. If you want any
thing from the present administration
just speak to your alderman and we
believe and know that if your cause
is worthy one he will see that it is
put before the Council in the proper
manner. Our city clerk is an obliging
man also and so is the city treasurer,
both of whom were elected by large
vote.
Now let all our people get down to
business and help boost Wauwatosa
and lend hand to help the admins

FITTING OURSELVES.

Perhaps the real difficulty Of fitting
ourselves into the positions in life to
which we aspire is that the cost Of
ding so is too heavy. at least in our
opinion. We are not willing to make
the sacrifices and endure the penal
ties which are imposed upon us by
an all-wise Providence; we think 10
step into some easily acquired place
IN the sun and to share its luster
through no effort of our own, says
Charleston News and Courier. Any
thing that is worth having is worth
fighting for and this is true, perhaps,
In larger measure Of the matter OF
finding our place In life than of any
other object. We must be willing to
work long and hard for the simple
JOY and satisfaction of feeling that
we have found the work for which
we are best fitted, and the sooner we
begin the search the earlier we make
orr initial preparations, the wiser We
are. II we do not early realize The
importance of fitting ourselves for the
place we hope to fill the chances are
that We shall not do so until 1t is too
late to benefit us very much. Fur
thermore, experience shows that UNI
les we make earnest Efforts at least
to prepare ourselves for the serious
work of life we shall drift about in an
aimless way, cropping perhaps for a
footing somewhere but with only a
vague idea of how TO effect it. We
know that we want to land some
where, but our ideas are so confused
and our efforts so inadequate that we
become discouraged and after while
are sorely tempted to give up in de-
spair

The remark of a French officer that

says Baltimore American. The lack
of honor, of faith. of truth. of all NOR

stand against that race for generations
to come and make their dealings with
other nations exceedingly difficult.
For years In the future they will be
