POOLING THE LAW
Cigarettes Sold in Topeka by a
Subterfuge.
They Are Called Little Cigars
by Manufacturers.
LITTLE DIFFERENCE.
Offer "the Fiends" Just What
They Desire.
No Steps Taken Here to Enforce
the Law.
LITTLE DIFFERENCE.

Are the manufacturers of cigarettes
and the tobacco dealers of Kansas
and particularly Topeka, violating the
state law regarding the sale OF
cigarettes, which was enacted by the
last legislature? This is a question
which is now being discussed III cigar
stores and barber shops
If this law is not being violated on
a huge scale, then those engaged IN
the manufacture and sale of cigar
cites have found a very clever sub
stitute. They are on sale in nearly
every cigar store in Topeka and otner
cities of the state. what are styleo
. little cigars" and which are virtually
nothing more than a subterfuge for
cigarettes These "little cigars" are
made of a regular cigarette TOBACCO
filler, which is cleverly hidden De
meath a brown wrapper, Which Is
either a natural tobacco lear or
brown paper substitute.
These little cigars" are shaped in
the exact form of a cigarette. Inose
who have smoked them say there IS
no difference in the taste: Tney are
put I'D in little boxes the same as
cigarettes The boxes are labelled
the same as the cigarette boxes which
were formerly sold in Kansas me
same names of brands are en-
ployed and the only distinction is the
cigarettes in the wording OF the
boxes. Those inveterate smokers
who before the reform wave smoked
their Turkish Trophies" and other
brands of cigarettes. now smoke
Turkish Trophy little cigars with
the same enjoyment, and the only an
ference being the replacement or the
white arsenic papers with brown
wrapper which is probably just as IN
furious or more so.
The new law hasn't shown any
material decrease on the smoking OF
cigarettes thus far. Those VINO are
addicted to the habit laid in large
supply of the coffin nails before the
law took effect. Others who were not
so fortunate have friends in Kansas
CITY who ship them in, and many
have made trips to Kansas City ex-
pressly for the purpose of stocking
up on these little Turkish and
Egyptian smokes.
The law however has undoubtedly
decreased the consumption of
tobacco and especially cigarettes
among the minors. None of the to-
bacco dealers will sell to those I'M
der the age prescribed by law Many
of them however has continued their
smoking in the same way In
many officers and such places the
older employees but the little cigars
for the youngsters and then turn
them over The young smokers are
compelled to do their smoking IN
private places however and this has
nlaced somewhat of a damper on the
ardor of the youthful smokers
AS the smoking situation now
stands in Kansas. it can best be de-
scribed by paraphrasing an utterance
of the late John J. ingalls,. THE
reformers can have their prohibition
and the smokers their cigarettes"
