FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day of the caveman, who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned a 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 they come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri-
can Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED
This wonderful new idea-simple
like all great inventions-was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burleyha a mellow favor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. It is a pipe to-
bacco andLUcKY STRIKE Cigarettes
taste like pipe.

OUR BOYS COVER THERE'S ENA
Joy TOASTED CIGARETTES

Through the patriotism Of the citi.
zens Of this country thousands OF
smoke kits are being distributed to
American soldiersin France. Author"
tiles agree that men in the trenches
need cigarettes almost as much as
food and munitions.
Doctors, nurses, and commanding
officers all join in the demand which
has awakened in this country a great
movement to keep our boys supplied
with smokes
Millions of the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarettes are going owe"
all the time. There's something
about the idea of the toasted ciga-
rette that appeals to the men who
spend their time in cold, wet trenches
and billets.
Then, too, the real Kentucky Barley
tobacco of the LUCKY STRIKE cigas
rette gives them the solid satisfaction
of a pipe, with a lot less trouble.
