Boole, national president of the W. C.T. U.. said the organization had appropriated its name from the pioneers cf her own society. v This aroused Bernard P. Chamber- lain, Charlottesville attorney, com- mander of the local branch of the Cru- saders. He said that the Crusaders would carry on their activities in every polling place at that election. “After that,” he said, “we don’t believe any further effort will be necessary.” The inside story of how .

Randolph, head of that organization and the only mem- ber known to the public. Several months agb, Col. Randolph said, Capone appealed to the Citizens' Organization to “stop knocking over his breweries.” Capone told him, Col. Ran- dolph sald, that if this kept up he would be obliged to go out of business and thus deprive Chicago “of the serv- ice he was rendering the city.” Capone, Col. Randolph said, had about 200 employes, all “killers,” whom he paid from $300 to $400 a week. His “service to the city” presumably meant keeping thess men employed and not turning them loose on the population at ll“r is situation, he said, may make the prospect of a few years in prison appeal to the gangland chief as a sanctuary where he will be protected from the guns of his own employes. ‘There are estimated to be 60,000,007 “untouchablgs,” or ouicasts, in India.

A famous author- ity, retained by us to study throat irritation, says: “The tissues above and below the vocal chords and the vocal chords themselves may become acutely or chronically congested as a result of the inhalation of irritating fumes, in the case of chemists for example.” LUCKY STRIKE'S exclusive “TOASTING” Process, which includes the use of modern Ultra Violet Rays, expels certain harsh irritants present in all raw tobaccos. We sell these expelied irritants to manufacturers of chemical compounds. They are not present in your LUCKY STRIKE. So “Consider your Adam’s Apple“—that is your larynx—your voice box—it contains your vocal chords. Don't rasp your throat with harsh irritants. Be careful in your choice of cigarettes.
