FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKEB
—TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED
Since the day of the caveman, who
liked his meat raw, civilization ha3
learned a lot about the scientific treat
ment cf the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po
tatoes as they come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri
can Tobacco Co.—that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED!
This wonderful new idea—simple
like all great inventions—was first
Wised in producing the famous LUCKY
•STRIKE Cigarette—made of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burley has a mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. It is a pipe to
bacco and LUCKY STRIKE Cigarette#
taste like a pipe. ,

In a public statement issued this

there is a possibility of a decided

than 24 pounds at one sale, to any ^ peo pi e of this state to be mindful of
one living in the city, nor more than j this fact he has the following^ to say:
48 pounds at one sale to one living in
the rural districts. This law must be
observed regardless of the number in
family. This does not, however,* keep
the purchaser who has a large family,
from making more than one purchase
a month.
SUGAR:—
The merchant under no circum
stances will sell more than five pounds
of sugar to a city purchaser, nor more
than ten pounds to a purchaser from
the rural districts and this must be
based on two pounds per capita for a
family per month. That is, a family
of flie cannot buy more than 10

ICE
AND PRICE
Everything going into th e manufacture of ice has dou
bled and trebled in price since the war began. “In
the case f coal and ammonia, we do not know whether
we will be able to get as much as we require.”
On account of these conditions we are compelled to in
crease the price of ice 10 cents per hundred pounds.
The following prices will prevail this season, begin
ning April 25th, 1918:
15 pounds Ice 10 cents
25 pounds Ice 15 cents
50 pounds Ice 30 cents
100 pounds Ice 55 cents
200 pounds Ice $ l .00
The wagons will make one trip to the residence and
two to the businett sections each day. In case you
fail to get your ice when wagon passes you can get it
hv sending to the office.
Approved By The United States Food Administrator
We will have to raise 500,000
additional 200-pound hogs to get
on a self-sustaining meat basia in
Georgia. To do this, we must save
a million pigs. .The only chance
to have plenty of meat for every
body next winter is to save the
pigs this spring. If we can save
750,000 by better care and atten
tion to both the mother and the
lit We pigs, we need not worry if
the railroad congestion continues.
At the present time there is es-
ti.i ateu to be one billion pounds
of pork in storage in this country.
Washington reports dated March
1st' show there has been an in
crease cf 117.5 per cent, of pork in
the South Atlantic States, of which
Georgia is one. This large surplus
which has filled every place fit to
store meat Is caused by lack of
transportation. Practically 80 per
cent, of the congestion is caused
iiv Government' operations of one
kind and another. This has pre
vented the meat now in storage
from being moved.
The foregoing information is
given to explain a situation that
now exists and to remove any fear
that there will not he a good mar
ket for hogs this summer. With
the taking over of the beats from
Holland by this country, no doubt
the a oat supplies .will be moved
soon. There is every -easoo
save every.plg and raise every
to maturity so the storage
plants can be filled up as soon as
empty. Otherwise there is danger
that Italy my go as Russia did—
Russia was hungry.
If the railroad congestion con-
t'nues throughout the year. Geor
gia will not be able to buy meat
ihi* fail from Northern States
tha'ihave heretofore supplied this
food. A lot of men are figuring
on getting money from their cot
ton tc' buy meat The farmer, how-
eve- ” li.i rot be exenrpt from rail
road congestion any more than the
merchant. In other words, it may
be one I jme when money will not
buy food because it cannot be
sli’oned.
The wise man of this time is he
who looks after every pig like it
was werth Its weight in gold and
takes no chances on its being
mashed bv the mother, eaten by
the buzzards or dying from hollow-
belly.
Herbert Hopver, the Federal
Food Adir.integrator, says:
"The wroductlon of more fats
la today a critical necessity. Ev
er}' pound of fat Is as sure oft ser
vice aa every bullet and every* ho*
is of greater value to winning this
war than a shell."

How The South Is Increasing Its Food and Feed Crops
F

■y q r
In some sections there has been a
disposition to criticise the farmers,
especially the farmers' of the South,
because the South produces a large
amount of cofcon lint, which cannot
lie eaten, but Is almost as necessary
fer clothing and munitions. Many
writers and pubil speakers, espec
ially from the North and East, have
said uncomplimentary things of us,
abusing us roundly for not producing
more foodstuffs.
There are just two errors Involved 1915 6,870 8,754 127,740
In these unjust accusations. First, 1916 7,182 63.989 156.237
cotton la a food as well as a clothing 1917 15,917 88,730 120,900
crop. The see from every 500-pound Jan, and Feb. 1918 21,760 10,883
bale givesl 150 to 160 pounds of food | M. McCormack stated that the
oil and 400 to 600 pounds of the cheap- 1 fallling off in cattle in 1917 from 1916
eat and best dairy and beef cattle feed was plainly due to the fact that they
known to cattle feeders. Second, 1 sent fewer females to market but
that South has increased her food pro
duction since the beginning cf the
European war more than any other
part of the world.
This is a pretty broad statement,
and having made it we submit the
| proof. It so happens that while Mis-
I sisslppl ships livestock to Now Or
leans and Natchez, the most of it
goes to the National Stock Yards, 111.
(St. Louis market). The shipments of
livestock from- Mississippi to this
market gives a good Index of the
growth of livestock prodjMptlon In
Mississippi. Mr. C. A. McCormack.

der the due execution cf the certifi
cate below, permission may be given
to any person in your county to buy at

of this rule, or failure to have a cer-
tfffcate in writing for each sale made

will be cause for denying such mer
chant permission for the sale of sugar

The certificate should be carefully
