All Tobacco Treated with "Sauces" TO
Adapt Them to Varying Tastes.


All tobaccos arc treated with sauces be-
tore being made up into their commercial
form. 10y this means they arc favored in
various ways so as to adapt them to the
tastes Oh consumers The tastes of con-
su1ners vary in different localities, and to

STRONG tobacco with scent and flavor
Whlch another class would not relish. Out
uoor workers in general like stronger to-
Dacco Tor smoking and chewing than in
door folks.
All tobaccos, In fact, are doctored.
Sohctimes 1t is done in an illegitimate
way, for the purpose of deception. Ordi-
narily, however, it is honest and even nee
essary. One object of it is to make the to-
bacco Keep better. Without such treatment

mako 1t burn we'll. The leaves intended
Tor chewing are stepped in licoricc or other
gum III order that tho plug shall have the
requisite consistency and sweetness. Mu-
cllaginous substances in small quantities
are added to cigarette tobacco so that tho
particles may hold together and not fall
out OF the paper wrapper. Some Pipe to.
baccos arc heavily charged with perfumes
by treating them with essential oils of
rose, vcrbena, chronicle, bcrgamot. cassia,
musk and catcchu
1t is not truc that cigarettes arc com
monty charged with opium and other in
furious drugs. However, they arc favored
with essences of various plants, such as
vanilla, stramonium, coffee, valcrian and
tea Occasionally n few tea leaves arc
mixed with the tobacco. These flavors are
matters of fancy, and women particularly
select their cigarette with reference to
them. Scarcely plant that will yield an
agreeable fiavoring escapes employment
by the manufacturers Of tobacco Among
those most used arc tho lemon, the orange,
gcranium, sassafras, thyme, anisc, mint
and cinnamon. Honey and maple sugar
are utilized for swcctening. A dccoction
OF hay is sometimes applied to smoking
tobacco.
The basis of sauce Is nearly always
some spirituous liquor-usually rum.
Sometimes wine is used. Glyccrin Is
common ingredient. Moro or less molasscs
enters into the composition of much plug
tobacco. The rum preserves the tobacco
and adds to the flavor of the plug. Tho
plug trade for the United States navy is
large, and it is required by the govern
ment chat the tobacco furnished in this
shape for tho use of its sailors shall CON
tain no foreign substance except Il limited
percentage Of licoricc. Saltpctcr is some
times added to smoking tobacco TO mako

dipped into the sauce or else sprinkled
with it.-lSoston Transcript.
