We use only the center leaves of the finest Turkish and domes tic tobacco plants. Not the top leaves because those are under-developed. Not the bottom leaves because those are inferior in quality. We use only the center leaves because these are the mildest leaves fully ripe for perfect smoking. Only these choice tobaccos are used to make Luckies so round, so firm, so fully packed and no loose ends to spill out. That's why Luckies are always mild and smooth. That's why always "Luckies please". And don't forget "It's toasted" for throat protection for finer taste.

"ALL-BRAN WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF MY DIET" Delicious Cereal Corrected' His Constipation If you suffer from constipation, read this fino letter : "I have been troubled for years, with constipation. During this time, I have tried almost every known remedy. Then some one recommended eating Kellogg's All Bran, and tho proper results fol lowed immediately. "Since eating Kollogg's All- Bran each morning, there has been a general improvement in my health without the ill effects that I formerly experienced when taking laxatives. Hereafter, Kellogg's All-Bran will always be a part of my diet." Mr. U. i. Hlmes, Vim. E. 7th St., Los Angeles, Calif. ' Research shows Kelloire'a At.t- Bran provides "bulk" to exercise the intestines, and vitamin B to aid elimination. All-Bran also sup plies iron for the blood. The "bulk" in All-Bran is much like that in leafy vegetables. Isn't this "cereal way" safer than risk I ing patent medicines? Two tablcsnoonfuls dailv are ' usually sufficient to relieve ordi nary constipation. With each meal, in serious cases. If not relieved this way, see your doctor. Be sure to ask for Kellogg's All-Bran. It contains much more needed "bulk" than nart.hrnn Products. In tho rcd-and-crrnen package Muiio by Kellogg in Bat- j tie Creek.

OUTLINES "COMMODITY" ' ' PLAN TODAY (Oontinuea Prom Psv One) legislation Bought, despite opposition both from the Republican ranks and :j .wuu in nis own parcy. i It The president's words were In part: 'The president Is authorized by ('present legislation to tlx the lower ; limit oi permissible revaluation at ou per cent, uareiui study leads me J more than 60 oer cent of the d resent statutory value would not be In the j:publlo Interest. I therefore, recom J mend to the congress that It tlx the 3 upper limit of permissible revaluation i at 00 per cent." 1'rettldent Kxplulna The above passage, led to many questions, the meaning not being considered clear 'hv manv. In a sds- clal press conference, the president gave his explanation of the wider powers Bought. Devaluation of the dollar by 60 per cent would mean a profit to the gov ernment of approximately J3 ,600,000. -'000 In the dollar price of the gold to be taken over by the treasury from the federal reserve system under the proposed program. The president recommended that from this profit a two billion dollar fund be set up In the treasury for the purchase and sale of gold In the foreign exchange and the purchase of governmental securities. In othoi words, he would create a stabilization fund. Recognizes Silver The presidential message also rec ognized silver &b a basio medium of exchange and urged a greatly In creased use of this commodity by all governments. .( Undu" the Roosevelt program the nation's supply of gold hereafter would be held In tho treasury as reserve and basis for the country's currency. Ultimately he looks for permanent stabilization of tho dollar In relation to the British pound and the French franc. Meanwhile he will be working toward a. definite and permanent de ineoroucai gold content of the dollar.

Therefore, , 11 the gold content of the dollar Is cut by 00 per cent, the gold held by the treasury will be worth twice as much In dollars. It was made plain at the White House that this profit does not rep resent a base of currency. - Mr. Roosevelt also made It clear, that the program did not mean a resort to greenback currency, and said that the object of authority to buy government securities out ; of the stabilization fund was simply to safe guard the price of these securities against any ulterior depreciation move by the private holders of tho securities, .it ... .-. I The president belleveB that the gold buying policy of the government, which he said has resulted In- huge purchases. Is largely responsible for the recovery In commodity prices fol-, lowing the drop of last September and October, j ....... .. v , Another result of the program, he feels, has been to permit foreign salesi of American export surpluses such as cotton and copper. j Mr. Roosevelt tol congress he felt that he had the authority to take title to the gold supply of the nation, but "this is a step of such importance that I prefer to ask the congress by' specific enactment to vest In the United States government title to all supplies of American-owned monetary gold, with provision for the payment therefor In gold certificates." - . "These gold certificates will be," ho said, "as now, secured at all times dollar for dollar by gold In the treas ury gold for each dollar of such weight and fineness as may be estab lished from time to time." . . "Such legislation" as asked the president said, "places the right, title and ownership to our gold reserves In the government Itself; It makes clear the government's ownership of any added dollar value of the coun try's stock of gold which would result from any decrease of the gold con tent of the dollar which may be made in the public interest. ; "It would also, of course, with equal Justice, cast upon the govern ment the loss of such dollar value If the public Interest In the future should require an increase In the amount of gold designated as a dol lar.'! ... . i:ijtficra "With the- establishment of this permanent policy," said the president, "placing all monetary gold In the ownership of the government as a bullion base for Its currency, the time has come for a more certain deter mination of the gold value of the American dollar.. "Because of world uncertainties, I do not believe It desirable In the public Interest than an- exact value be now fixed." ' . i Xle y2 - lb.
