to stamp out the canned heat"
traffic in Denver which has in
creased at an alarming rate with

declares. 1t is sold in cake form,
and contains wood alcohol and
gun cotton and, according to ply.
sicians, Reed said, canned heat
addicts soon become blind from

which likewise induces or & n c
weakness and diseases which in
themselves ultimately result In

Chief Reed intends to use the
riot squad in combing the river
bottoms and lower part of the city
each day and make it so hot for
the canned heat fiends that the

Seldom do the addicts eat canned
heat alone, Reed said. They usu-
ally stage parties in which cakes
Of canned heat bought at various
drug stores are placed in q com.

Only recently, Chief Reed said,
q mere youth who had become an
addict was picked up in the drag

streaming down her face, begged
that her son be given q long term
In jail to enable him to free him

When you and spring
are thrilling to the first ball game of
the year-and your tavorite player
drives out a homer-when the
stands rise; roaring NTH cheers
have a Camel!

WHEN springs first ball game is
here. And the shouting banter
filings out On the sunlt air. When
a heavy hitter cracks the ball,
shrieking into center6eld for
home run-oh, happy mortal,
as the stands roar with glee-
have a Camel!
For CamelAoodsevery friendly
view with greater brightness, adds
the magic of its own fragrance to
LIES most festive days. Camels
are of such choice tobaccos that
they never tire the taste, no
matter how zestfully you smoke
them. Camels are SO skilfully
made that they never leave a
cigaretty after-taste. Search
where you will and spend what
you may-you'll get more plea
sure out of Camels than any other
cigarette you ever put match to.
So this fair spring day as the
bases fill and a hefty batter lofts
out one that it seems will never
stop Aying-oh, then, taste the
smoke that means completed en-
chantment. Strike a light and
know then the mellowest flavor,
the most blithesome fragrance
that ever came from a cigarette.
Have a Camel!
Evening star., 1926-04-11

Our highest wish, if you do not yet know
Camel quality, is that you try them. We invite
you to compare Cameis with an, other ciga-
refte made at any price.
