From the Brattleboro Reformer.1
 All over New England newspapers are marking up their subscription price. Within short time three inNew Hampshire which were rated as good publications have gone out of business. The aounting cost of every thing pertaining to a newspaper made 1t impossible for them to do business at . profit. The effect of high prices IS felt in every other newspaper osTce In many cases it seems impracticable to increase the cost of subscriptions and advertising to keep pace with the costs, and the only thing the pup fisher can do is to cut corners little sharper and to work harder than ever before.

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-
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name. LUCKY
STRIKE"-the toasted cigarette.
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 favor of the tobacco
but it seals in this favor 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 Il the first
thing asked for.-Adv.
