Skins of fur-bearing land ani
mals to the number of 494, 547
and valued at $2,128,148. were ex
ported from Alaska in 1930, a re
port from the Alaska Game Com
% mission to the Biological Survey,
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
shows. This is $2,385,715 less than
the value of the 1929 shipments,
although 197,245 more pelts were
exported.
The smaller return for 1930 re
sulted from a general decline in
the market value of individual
iurs. The report is based on the
statements that fur shippers are
xequired to file with agents of
transportation companies or with
postmasters handling the ship
ments, who inturn must forward
them to t heAlaska Game Com
mission.

16,288 brought a return of $553,792;

ether species, and comprised more

Don’t Rasp Your Throat
With Harsh Irritants
"Reach for a
LUCKY instead"
What effect have harsh irritants pres
ent in all raw tobaccos upon the
throat? A famous authority, retained
by us to study throat irritation, says:
"The tissues above and below the vocal
chords and the vocal chords them#
selves may become acutely or chronic
cally 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 modem
Ultra Violet Rays, expels certain harsh
irritants present in all raw tobaccos. We
sell these expelled irritants to manu
facturers 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*
