THE “GREY GHOST”
The strong gale of the past
few days must have blown the
well known “Grey Ghost” back
to Seward. Two years ago this
equipment, costing the Alaska
Railroad $20,001), endeavored to
take on the local job of switch
engine in the yards. But she
couldn’t cut the mustard. Where
she has been or what her career
has been since those days has
added just that much more mys
tery. In any case, she’s back.

AVOED THAT
FUTURE SHADOW*
By refraining from over
indulgence, if you would
maintain The modern fsgure
Or fashion
Avoid the snags along the
common-sense path to fitness and
fashion. Don’t let over-indulgence
deprive you of the tantalizing con
tour of the modern figure. Be
moderate—be moderate in all
things, even in smoking. Eat*
healthfully but not immoderately
—when your eyes are bigger than
your stomach, reach for a lucky
instead. Coming events cast their
shadows before. Avoid that future
shadow by avoiding over-indul
gence, if you would maintain the
graceful, modern figure with its
captivating curves.
lucky Strike, the finest Cigarette
you ever smoked, made of the
finest tobacco—The Cream of the
Crop—“IT’S TOASTED.” Every
one knows that heat purifies and
so “TOASTING” not only re
moves impurities but adds to the
flavor and improves the taste.
“It’s toasted”
*Be Moderate!... Don't jeopardize the modern form by drastic diets, harmful reducing girdles, fake reducing tab
lets or other quack “anti-fat” remedies condemned by the Medical profession! Millions of dollars each year are
wasted on these ridiculous and dangerous nostrums. Be Sensible! Be Moderate! We do not represent that smok
ing Lucky Strike Cigarettes will bring modern figures or cause the reduction of flesh. We do declare that when
tempted to do yourself too well, if you will “Reach for a Lucky” instead, you will thus avoid over-indulgence
in things that cause exce* eight and, by avoiding over-indulgence, maintain a modern, graceful form.
