Tobacco as q Sterilizer.

Now comes two Paris scientists
to the defense of tobacco as IA steri-
lizer and germ destroyer. Accord
ing to Paris cablegram, Messrs.
Langlais and Sartory, declare that
tobacco is exceedingly efiicacious
in the killing of microbes. They
say that their experiments have
shown that in five minutes tobacco
smoke will kill almost all the
microbes in the saliva, thus nearly
completely sterilizing the mouth.
One of the experiments carried
out by Langlais and Sartory was to
place several cigars in water con-
tanning many millions cholera mi.
crobes to the square inch. The to-
bacco sterilized and destroyed the
microbes in twenty-fOur hours.
