“Now. Larry, we know that we I
have been up here two winters anc1 j
so much of this one. Roughly we
know how much money we’ve
snen-. Th e tunnel is about 340 feet
long. From that I guess we can i
figure how much it has cost us pei ,

“Yes,” responded Larry, “how '
much of uhose two and one-half
winters has been spent tunneling, i
how much dragging up firewood or ;,
being out on prospecting trips, and;'
bet we haven’t spent more than

He spat the question out as tho

at Jack as venemously as a rattle
snake.
Jark started to mumble, but Lar
ry cut him off with:
“Oh, I don’t blame you. I’m
peeved at myself. That Prof at
the College talked about this four
[years ego and showed us how sim
ple it was to keep track of the cost.
T vowed to myseh that T wasn’t fool
enough to slip up on a little thing
'ike that hut here it, is. I don i
know what this tunnel is costing,
cr hew fast we are driving it, eith
er. T can't tell where we will be by
April.”
“Costs.” he went on “can be di
vided into two main classes—labor
and supplies. The first can d;
taken care of on the time book, the
second by means of the bills or in
voices vou get from the store wher’
you buy your goods. The secret
consists of classifying your ac
counts so that you know what is!
charged to each kind of work. For
'instance we could work up a class
ification some thing like this.”

“We could make some more div
idends if we wanted to but for our j
purpose it is better to keep it as |
simple as possible. I think that
[the two classes of work in the tun
nel are enough.”
“Yon Ijaven’t provided for black- i
smithing,” said Jack. “That takes 1
a couple of hours each day.”
“That's so.” said Larry and he
aded a new heading under Tunnel
ing.
c. Blacksmithing, 1. Labor, 2.
Supplies.
“The thing that makes it so easy
to keep is those numbers. For in
stance, l. a. 2. means some supply
used in breaking rock, oowdm
1. b. L is labor mucking out the ore.
Now we could keep a tune book;
like this.”

“I’m a ‘Lucky Qirl’ because I’ve found a new way
to keep my figure trim. Whenever the desire for
a sweet tempts me, I light up a Lucky Strike. It’s
remarkable how nicely the toasted flavor of
Luckies satisfies me. Toasting has taken out all
impurities—all that is left is the thrilling Lticky
aroma. I certainly am lucky to be ‘The Lucky
Girl.’”
Rosalie Adele Nelson
THE modem common sense way — reach for a Lucky
instead of a fattening sweet. Thousands are doing it
■—men keep healthy and fit, women retain a trim figure.
Lucky Strike, the finest tobaccos, skilfully blended, then
toasted to develop a flavor which is a delightful alterna
tive for that craving for fattening sweets.
Toasting frees Lucky Strike from impurities. 20,679 physi
cians recognize this when they say Luckies are less irritat
ing than other cigarettes. That’s why folks say: “It’s good
to smoke Luckies.”
p’A reasonable proportion of sugar in the diet is recom
mended, but the authorities are overwhelming that too
thany fattening sweets are harmful. So, for moderation’s
sake we say:—
"REACH FOR A LUCKY
INSTEAD OF A SWEET.”
