Facts
About
on
Cigarettes

WYE call particular attention 70
w the statements made in the
advertisement adjoining this
editorial column.
This advertisement the purpose OF
which is to win new friends for Lucky
Strike cigarettes, incidentally en-
phaslzes the matter OF high taxes on
cigarettes.
To those who are intimate with snch
matters there is, of course, no sur
prlsIng statement made. -
To the general public though. we
believe IL will be surprising to learn
that nearly hoif OF tDhGt they p0y jor
cigarettes goes to the government for
tdTes. -p%-srs~-.
The internal revenue stamp On q
package Of twenty Lucky Strike Gig
arettes costs you six cents On a tin
of one hundred tho revenue stamp
costs pou thirty cents.
So nearly fifty cents out Of every
dollar YOU spend for cigarettes u
spent BY you for taxes.
This is certainly the heaviest Tar
on an article OF daily and universal
consumption.

The Tobacco Industry
and Taxes

The aggregate tax paid by The
tobacco business is with one exception,
income tGrcs, the largest item Of in
ternal revenue the federal government
receives, Last ffscaD year it amounted
to $309.0l4,050S4.
Oh this enormous amount Of money
the cigarette industry paid SlS27l5,-
1856 %, or nearly two-thinis Of the
total tax paid by the entire tobacco
business .sA
The Immediately important point
Of the foregoing is the following We
believe YOU will appreciate that when
nearly fifty cents OF every dollar paid
by YOU for cigarettes goes to the gov
eminent, you must receive m 1gu-
cites value in return for your money
that is rarely gwen in any commodity.
That the public generally appreci-
ates this great value is shown by the
enormous increase in the consumption
Of cigarettes.

Some OF the kinds or strains of enrms

the joints and line the heart and cover
the valves in the heart In any germ

considerable, though generally uncon-
sldered, chance that endocarditis and
ValVular disease may occur. AS a mat
ter of fact, in about a third of ALL
cases of valvular leakage the origin of
the trouble has been an unrecoCnized
endocarditis which occurred shortly aft

When an uniformed person coughs
or sneezes open facedly in the presence
of other persons there is no telling what
proportion Of his victims will develop
valvular disease as result Of their un-
fortunate exposure to the gprm-laden

the unsophiSicated, but I am trying to

Frocks of Small Bridal Attendants
BY MARY MARSHALL

Not TO count among ones friends
any very little girls is quite a calam-
ity for the bride of today; because no
wedding is quite complete without
little girls-possibly little boys, too.
So general has been the custom of
having little girl attendants among
aristocratic and royal English brides
that some very pretty little girls of
certain prominent English families
have been quite rushed with wedding
parties, and are becoming so used to
their roles as flower girls that they
can go through their part of the
wedding ceremony with less nervous
ness than the bride, and much. much
less than the bridegroom
Rather a good idea to select pretty
little flower girls-ref1ects the bride-
to-be-but then almost any little girl
Is pretty when she is put into some
picturesque frock. Even scrawny lit
tie freckled faced lassies become quite
ornamental if properly attired.
Quite recently little bridal at
tendant of five or six was dressed in
a charming bouffant frock of white
Satin-of the same sort of satin that
made the frock of the bride. More
often light material in color is select
ed-SometimeS in a long -waiS ted
fuil-skirted frock, and now oftener in
a high-waisted frock like a little girl
of he first empire.
The sketch shows this sort of frock
made of pale yellow georgette, tucked
and trimmed with valenciennes inser-
tion. The appliqued basket of flowers
as we'll as the ribbon sash, is in
mauVe, blue and pink. Often the lit
Tie girls frocks are made to match
those of the other attendants, but
sometimes a charming effect is gained
by contrast. In this way this little
1rock might be worn when the brides
maids wore mauve, blue or pink.
At a recent aristocratic French
wedding, where the bridesmaids and
maid of honor were dressed in very
simple mauve crepe de chine, the
little girl attendant wore long
walSted, short -Skirted frock also of
mauve crepe de chine with tiny shir-
rings of tulle, in the same tone.
Nonconformity may be a rather
uncertain policy when it comes to
considering the wedding itself-for
the very nature of bridal dress
makes a certain amount of conserva-
tism desirable. But when it comes to
picking out the frocks for the very
little girl attendants the clever bride
