TOLL OF DEATH

OF BIG STORM
Rivers In Mississippi Val

To Life.

CHICAGO, Jan. IA. W.H-Storms
and floods lashed widely separated
portions of the nation today, carry.
ing the toll Of death, suffering and
property damage to foreboding levels
and threatening to assume disaster
proportions in many places.
The gravest menace was in the
roaring waters Of streams and rivers
in the Mississippi valley tributary
to the Mississippi. Swollen by heavy
and repeated rains and the runaway
waters from snow blanketed north
ern states, rivers flung levees aside
and poured over thousands Of acres
CT agricultural lands. Hundreds
were homeless and being sheltered
in communities above the clutch of
the flood.
The far west from the Sierra Ne.
vadas to the Rocky mountains was n
desert of snow, heaped into drifts
by billiards and tenacious because
of icy gales. Scores of persons were
marooned and several were lost in
the storm harassed territory.
Some 60 had been killed as a re.
suit of the storm since it began last
week.
Hope had waned for Maury
Graham, Western Air Express air.
mail pilot unreported since he took
off in snow storm Friday from Las
Vegas, New, on flight to Salt Lake
City, Utah.
Leonard Kip Rhinelander, wealthy
New Yorker, and three companions
still were marooned in his cabin at
Charleston Park, near Las Vegas
New.
Amateur mountain climbers, tour.
lists and natives Of the "Painted
Mountain" sections Of the southwest
were trapped in cabins and shelter
stations, facing the peril of freezing
and starvation while searching par.
ties and rescue crews sought to reach
them.
Southern Illinois and Indiana
eastern Arkansas, Kentucky, west
ern Tennessee and northern Missis
slppl were in the clutch of floods.
More than 200 families in western
Tennessee had fled before the rush
of angry water and 100 families be.
tween Cairo, ILL.,, and Hickman
Bluffs, Ky, had been driven from
the homes in the lowlands.
A break in levee above Vincen,
mes, Ind, brought relief to that flood
sector today but it promised to be
only temporary. More rain during
the night along the Wabash proba bly,
will send the river back to the 1913
level reached Yesterday.

signed To Carry Out Re-

WASHINGTON, Jan. H. Up

noon.
Chairman Williamson, of the ex-

partment as advocated by President
Hoover and the law enforcement
commission.
This change would remove Frohi.
bition jurisdiction from Secretary
of Treasury Mellon and place it in
the hands of Attorney General
Mitchell.
Williamson was the first of the
house committee ehairmen to act on
the President y prohibition recon.
mendations submitted only yester-
day. He will start hearings before
his committee within few days
and has been assured by leaders
the measure will receive prompt at.
tention from the house as soon as
the committee has approved it.
Chairmen of the five other house
committees to whom the president 3
recommendations were submitted,
are expected to proceed in the same
way to carry out other suggestions
for change in the prohibition en-
forcemcnt system.
The Williamson bill, besides eit
ing the attorney general complete
authority over the prohibition bu-
r"au, would give him voice along
with the secretary of treasury in
granting permits for the manufac-
ture of industrial alcohol.
No provision is made for transfer.

neat treatment LODaCCOS is an eXCIIIa
sive process with any single manufacturer.
TIHE FACT is that the use of heat treatment
L in the manufacture of tobacco is about
the most commonplace and universally prac-
ticed method in the industry. 1t has long been
standard practice.
We use heat treatment in its most modern
and scientific application, both in the prepa-
ration and in the manufacture of those mild,
fragrant, ripe tObaccOs that carry their nat
ural goodness into CANIELS.
The first CAMEL Cigarette we ever made
was manufactured under the heat-treating
process. Every one of the billions of CAMELS
produced since has been manufactured under
heat treatment. We rely upon heat to the
limits of its possibilities to make our good
tObaccOs better. 1t cannot make inferior
tObaccOs good.
WHETHER OR NOT manufacturer, TO
w have something to talk to the public
about, attaches cOntrivance to his heat-treat-
ing machines to catch, cOndense and bottle
the vapOrs that come from them can have no
more effect toward improving the tobacco
than your catching and bOttling the vapOrs
that come from your teapot would have
toward improving the tea in the pot.
Our own brand, CAMEL, continues to grow,
but we are, nevertheless, unwilling to Ief
these far-reaching false statements or Inn.

in recent cigarette advertising

M cigarettes chooses to say about his
product is not our affair. Even
when he sees fit to misrepresent his product
and leave false impressions concerning it,
that still is his businessmen ours.
But-when, in his advertising, he goes
Beyond his own product and makes false state
nents or leaves misleading impressions about
other cigarettes it is time that the truth
be told.
rettes used the following statements in his
advertising:
''The extra secret heating process removes
from (- harmful irritants, corrosive
acrids, which are present in cigarettes
factured in the Old-fashiOned way, and which
cause throat irritation and coughing
sNO matter how much how little you pay
for cigarettes you have choice of only two
general classes, and not more than two. In
one class you have the billions of cigarettes
manufactured in the Old-fashiOned way and
in the other class you have -, }, the
toasted cigarette, product of modern science,
a cigarette from which harmful irritants have
been removed by that extra secret process
described by the phrase IT'S Toasted"
WTHEN THESE STATEMENTS were first
w made, we assumed that they were a
casual phase of that manufacturers advertis-
ing and did not represent deliberate and
calculated policy. After making few such
statements, he abandoned this particular
form of advertising. However, other state
ments used in his advertising came to the
attention of the Federal Trade Commission
on question of their truthfuInesss
Milford chronicle., 1930-03-21

As a result of the action of the Federal
Trade Commission he was ordered to stop his
admitted practice of using in his advertising
false testimonials of nOnsmOkers to the effect
that they kept slender by smoking his brand
of cigarettes, and was further ordered to stop
using other fake testimonials and the speciOus
argument that all can keep slender by smOk-
ing that brand of cigarettes. He then began
to use again the form of statement quoted
above or variations of it.
IF ANY MANUFACTURER chooses to say that
Il the tObaccOs he uses contain ''harmfuI irri-
tants, corrosive acrids, that are injurious to
the thrOat,' and then to claim that these
things are removed by the heat-treating
process, that is his own affair. But when he
tries to create the impression that it is general
practice to use in cigarettes such rank
tObaccOs as he describes, we object to the
attempted reflection on the industry.
We have never used in our blend those
rank tObaccOs which can be properly de-
scribed as containing ''harmfuI irritants, cor
rOsive acrids,' nor do we believe that they are
used by some of the other manufacturers.
If that manufacturer wishes to advertise
heat treatment, calling it tOasting or what-nOt,
that is his right. But when, in so doing, he
tries to create the impression that he is the
only maker of cigarettes who treats tObaccOs
with heat, the truth again needs to be told.
The publication of fake testimonial is no
greater perversiOn of the truth than to imply
