Over a period of years, certain basic advances
have been made in the selection and treatment
of cigarette tobaccos for Lucky Strike Cigarettes.
They include preliminary analyses of the tobac

treatment of tobacco ("toasting"); consideration
of acid-alkaline balance, with consequent definite
improvement in flavor; and controlled uniformity
in the finished product.
All these combine to produce a superior ciga

who wanted to have an easy mind
paid 15,885.69 to the United States
treasury last year.
By so doing the took a load off
their respective chests and raised the
value of the national "conscience
fund" to 621.8675.
To this a resident of Sacramento,
Cal., recently added 9 100. These con
tributors never give their names.
The "conscience fund,' more pros
aically known as Document 126.420.
was started In 1811 when an unknown
Individual sent $5 to the treasury of
President Madison because he felt
he had "defrauded the government."
Although there were no more con
tributions until 1827, every year since
then with the single exception of
184fl, bad consciences have Increased
treasury totals.
The money Is set aside as "anony
mous contributions" and Included in
the nation's general fund.
The worst conscience the nation
ever had, Judging by the year's to
tal, must have been 1916 when $54,
923.15 was sent in and, on the -basis
of population, each citizen's bad
dreams were worth exactly one
twentieth of a cent.
Contributions usually are Impelled
by sudden pangs of conscience and
are customarily sent by persons who
have used postage stamps a second
time, failed to pay duties on articles,
evaded Income taxes, or stolen gov
ernment property.
The only way the treasury has of
notifying them of receipt U by puo
llshlng the fact In the press.
The letters that have poured In over
the years after mental tussles and
sleepless nights are manifold In ex
pression. "Since becoming a Christian," wrote
one man paying a debt to conscience
and the past, "I am duly Impressed
to restore a postage stamp which I
used once . . . May the Lord bless
each one and save each one and save
our souls."
An old Civil war soldier gave 1200
to an Indiana pastor to send to the
fund because he had ridden awiy
on a government mule after Appo
matox and he wanted to square the
debt.
And a girl of the mauve decade,
once wrote to the president:
"To His Majesty, president Cleve
land: "I am In a dreadful state of mind
About two years ago I used two post
age stamps that had been used be
fore. I did not realize what I hid
done until lately. I think of it night
and day. Now, dear president, will
you please forgive me. X will never
do It again. Inclosed please find cost
of three stamps and please forgive
me for I was 13 years old and I am
sorry for what I have done. From
one of your eubjecta.'
In 1016 one contributor sent $80,
000 In four Installments and after
the World war an Englishman sent
cough ;
a farthing as hit pro rata share of
the British debt.
Only recently have come contribu
tions to "help balance the budget"
or to "help In the deficit our coun
try Is facing."
Many requests have been forward
ed to treasury officials asking for
loana or gifts from the funds. They
vary from charitable organizations to
the man who wanted to get out of
the poor ho use to write and Illustrate
a novel.
Once a letter In German came from
the depths of the Brazilian forest,
written by a Russian.
The treasury will not allow any
part of the funds to be paid out. It
belongs to the taxpayers. And the
contributor don't care much. They
figure on being angels.
