was pretty quick work for Jack, for

movements.
“The assay office must be right,”
out in Larry quickly, “the assayer.

see how anyone could salt the sam

nailed it myself.”
Jack sat down, but did not at;

Two yeans ago nine h->lib"'
boats fished out of the Port of
Seward. Last year none engaged
in halibut fishing and thus far
this season, it is stated, no local
schooner is preparing for the open
ing of the halibut fishing season,
February 15. owing t,o uiu
market price.
Last summer, according to local
fishermen, the p
per pound was offered them here.
In Southeastern Alaska 12c and up
was the prevailing figure through
out the entire season. Local fish
ermen and vessel owners are al
most unanimous in agreeing to
remain in their berths unless a
better price is offered.

NO longer need a trim, slender figure be
your envy. No longer need you face the
rigid requirements of harsh dieting methods.
Overweight is banished when you banish fatten
ing sweets and eating between meals and light a
Lucky. “Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet.”
20,679 physicians have confirmed the fact that
Lucky Strike is less irritating to the throat than
other cigarettes. These professional men realize
the value of toasting, the secret process that elim
inates impurities and irritants. Lucky Strike is
a delightful blend of the world’s finest tobaccos.
And toasting develops a flavor which is a deliglit
fid alternative for fattening sweets.
Many prominent athletes testify that Luckies
steady their nerves and do not harm their physical
condition. Men have long known this and practic
ed it successfully. These are the men who watch
their health, who keep trim and fit, realizing the
dangers of overweight. And now, women fnay en
joy a companionable smoke with their husbands
and brothers at, the same time slenderizing
in a sensible manner. That’s why folks say:
It’s good to k»r,nk-> Luckies.”
A reasonable proportion of sugar in the diet
is recommended, ' ut tn • authorities are over
whelming that to many fattening sweets are -
harmful and that too many such are eaten by
the American people. So, for moderation’s sake
we say: —
“REACH FOR A LUCKY
INSTEAD OF A SWEET.”
