THE TOBACCO
DOES NOT SPILL OUT
Good tobaccos. . . real good tobaccos. . . that's the rea
son for Lucky Strike's fine, smooth quality. 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

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

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

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." ' .
