Austin Oars of Nenana is recov
ering from exposure and starvation
at his home there after after a har
rowing experience in McKinley
Park that nearly cost him his life.
Mr. Oars went into the park for a
distance of about 30 miles to get
some samples from quartz claims.
While trying to climb over a bluff
he lost his footing and fell 20 feet
to the base of the cliff.
His back was badly hurt in the
fall and for several days Mr. Oars
lay there in a semi-conscious con
dition, without aid of any kind and
without food.
He gradually recovered his
strength and was finally able to
crawl back to the highway, three
miles away
He was picked up there by a
truck driver and taken to McKinley
Park station. He was very weak
from his long enforced fast but
soon regained strength enough to
return to Nenana where he is rap
idly recovering. Mr. Oars’ hands
and feet were slightly frozen, due
to the fact that he lay only a few
feet away from a glacier. (Fair

When tempted to over-indulge
"Reach for a
Lucky instead"
Be moderate — be moderate in all
things, even in smoking. Avoid that
future shadow* by avoiding over
indulgence, if you would maintain
that modern, ever-youthful figure.
"Reach for a Lucky instead."
LuckyStrik®, the finest Ciga
rette you ever smoked,
made of the finest tobacco
—The Cream of the Crop—
"ST'S TOASTED.'' Lucky Strike
has an extra, secret heating
process. Everyone knows
that heat purifies and so
20,679 physicians say that
Luckies are i®ss irritating
to your throat.
Your Throat Protection—against irritation—against cough
!
; v "No special dietary, but moderation in eating and drinking and not more than three meals daily,” is Dr. F. McKelvey
i ’ ell's advice in the New York Medical Journal to all men and women who want to keep a proper figure. We do not repre
cnt that smoking Lucky Strike Cigarettes will bring modem figures or cause the reduction of flesh. We do declare
at when tempted to do yourself too well, if you will "Reach for a Lucky instead,” you will thus avoid over
s' diligence in things that cause excess weight and, by avoiding over-indulgence, maintain a modem, graceful form.
