GLENDORA, Miss., Jan. 16. (/P)—
Tallahatchie County’s flooded Tip
po basin became a raging torrent
which sent marooned families to
their house tops and threatened
life and property.
As a result of the high waters
three more levees broke with great
force. The task of restoring sev
eral thousand families from across
the river to this city is being un
dertaken with haste as any delay
may make it too late for the strick
en residents to reach safety.

Something every smoker
wants to know!
• Absolutely pure ... that’s what you ex
pect in the things you eat and drink . . .
and in the cigarettes you smoke.
’’Chesterfields are as pure as the water
you drink,' a noted scientist writes.
There's no way to make a purer cigarette.
Starting with tobaccos . . . the ripest,
finest, purest leaf that grows is selected
for Chesterfields. Mild to start with. . .
Cross-Blending makes it milder still. Then
its wrapped in paper that is so pure it
burn- without anv taste or odor.
Tlie phrase "Scientifically Purer ’’ is
entirely justified. By our use of a highly
scientific process which was worked out
by Dr. Paul Gross, the Head Chemist of
our Kc.-earrh Department, Chesterfield
reaches a state of purity unmatched, to
our knowledge, by any other cigarette.
In addition, scientists check every in
gredient, every method. Even the factory
air is washed, and changed every 4%
mingle-. More purity!
TSoiice. too, the clean, white, attractive
package .. . moisture-proof. Chesterfields
come (<> you as good and as pure as they’re
made. Good . . . they’ve got to be good!
Change to Chesterfields and see.
