Every man, woman and child in th is , city, can; help keep one ofour boys
at the front supplied with e.igarets and. tobacco -by' setting aside onex-ent a day
for each working day..' . ' , " . i ',
Just think wliat this little sum will do! iFor .25, cents we: will "enter your
name on our Tobacco Fund h'st and will aend 45 echts worth of smoking to
bacco and cigarots to our boys-iu. France' ,hi- the Jut will be a; postal eaH

asking him to write a message to you dh'the i postal. and njail-'i.
The Red Cross takes charge of these' kits .of smoking materia". j
tributes them; the French government sends back the postal beai.. ..ul
eent United States stamp and admits the tobacco free of duty.
Surely if as busy an organization s the Red Cross Society and as pre
occupied officials as those of the French government will do these things to
see that our soldiers get a chance to smoke, it isn't asking much to ask you
to set aside one cent a day for the purpose.
Send in your contributions cf any amount 25 cents, $1.00, $5.00, or more.
For every 25 cents .that you give, a separate postal bearing your name goes
to the front.
Here's 45 cents worth of tobacco which is sent for your
quarter:
A package of Tuxedo tobacco and four books of cigaret papers.
Three pouches of Bull Durham Tobacco and three books of
papers.
Two packages of Lucky Strike cigarets, twenty pig:' rets in
each package.
A return ) :tal card addressed to the contr: which
the soldier win pen his appreciation and gratit i i -;i't.
