 Modern smokers have an expe- rienced taste that quickly learns to know good tobaccos. Camel is their favorite, because they recognize in it the choicest tobaccos grown, blended to bring out their exquisite taste and fragrance.
 Camel has won its way to the top in the hardest-to.please age ever known because it has the qualities of good- ness that make smoking a pleasure. You will revel in the enjoyment of these cigarettes. No better smoke can be made. ''Have q Cdmel!

Husbands Grief Respect
ed by Dry Agents; Ar
rest After Funeral.

f-7S the authority of the United
States Government more
~ sacred than Death? Shall
the officers of the law bow to the
grief of a husband and father,
whose loved ones body lies before
them?
Federal prohibition officers from
Indianapolis faced these questions
at North Judson, Ind, Thursday.
Pete Mckay runs a near-beer
saloon in North Judson. But he
wasn't at the saloon Thursday.
He was at home. And in a
casket in the front room of the
home lay the body of his wife.
Mrs. Mckay was drowned when
her auto ran off the road, turned
over, and crushed her in stream
near North Judson.
EV7ITH Pete was Nicholas
WI Glutczak, the dead wom-
w ans father. Marvin Chris
tian, a friend, was there, too.
Other friends and neighbors had
gathered to stand by the bereaved
husband and father, as they
looked for the last time on the
features of their loved one. The
funeral was to begin in half an
hour.
Then came Federal officers. For
Mckay, Glutczak and Christian,
it was charged had violated the
prohibition laws. Warrants the
officers held demanded their i'm
mediate arrest.
Quietly the agents mingled with
the neighbors. Quietly they drew
the father, the husband and the
friend from the house. Sympa-
theically they told them they
were under arrest and that they
must appear before a United
States commissioner at South
Bend Tuesday. Then they de-
parted.
Mrs McKay's funeral was not
marred by the long arm OF the
United States Government.
