tribute substantially to the general

United States exports of tobacco are
normally heavy. The exports of cigars
for the eleven months ended May, 1914,
amounted to 1,541, 200, and for the cor
responding period in 1913, to 1,995, 900.
The exports of leaf tobacco for the
amounted to 41s.151,391 pounds, an in
crease of 23.277.40S pounds over the
export for the corresponding period in
1913. Our export of cigarettes for the
amounted to 2.303. 3.646.000, or an in
crease of 5s3.559, 900 over the export
for the corresponding period of the
year before. The exports of cigarettes
are SG1ll Ou an 1HCTca80.
European countries take most of the
manufactured leaf tobacco and many
American cigars. China takes more
than 900,o00.000 of our cigarette ex-
from other countries. The British East
Indies. also. take about 90O.000,00 Gig
arettes annually from the United
States. The remaining SOC. 100000 are
sold to South and Central America,
Canada and to the European countries.

How to heal
skin troubles

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple. but reliable and inexpen-
sive, home treatment for people
suffering with eczema, ringworm,
rashes and similar itching skin
troubles.
AT any reliable druggists get a
jar of Resinol Ointment and a cake
of Resinol Soap. These will not
cost a bit more than 70 cents.
With the Resinol Soap and warm
water bathe the affected parts
thoroughly. until they are free
from crusts and the skin is soft
ened. Dry very gently. spread on
a thin layer Of the Resinol Oint-
ment and cover with q light band
age-if necessary to protect the
clothing This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distress
ing itching and burning stops with
the first treatment, and the skin
soon becomes clear and healthy
again. For free samples Of Resi-

Of the various American brands of
Turkish cigarettes. While it is believed
that the big cigarette manufacturing
houses have an abundance of Turkish
tobacco in their warehouses in New
York. it is nevertheless reported that
there is likely to be deficit in GER
tain grades of Turkish leaf used in
the fancier blends. This years crop of
Turkish tobacco has not yet been
brought in, and many of the necessary
workmen are mobilized. Further. the
stores and warehouses are closed, and
the only shipping routes open to the
Turkish products are SO expensive as
to be impractical. Thus the war may
sweep many brands of favorlte cigar

United States and to the countries OF
Europe. The Porto Rican and the
Cuban tobacco trades have been severe
ly hit by the war. This tightness q IN
their trade may endure some time as far
as the European market is concerned.
WHILE though the contesting peoples
undoubtedly will continue to smoke.

ported during the six months ended

largest purchasers were Great Britain
and the United States Although the
Cuban crop this year is short it has
been suggested that American buyers
should make more liberal purchases
in order to mitigate the losses of
tighter European market.
The United States tobacco crop has
been growing smaller for several years.
According to the crop estimates issued
by the Agricultural Department in the
early part of June this year another
slight decrease in the acreage and
yield of tobacco will be experienced.
The total area planted amounts to 153.-
$50 acres. which should yield approx
mately 192.00S.450 pounds of tobacco.
In 1918 the yield of 1858 acres was
2O1. $4,000 pounds, while in 1912 the
product of 1S0.302 acres was 22S.015. 900

tobaccos.
Germany grows a species of tobacco
plant which her natives fondly imag-
Inc to be real tobacco. 1t is grown in
the province of Hanover. Its leaves are
a palish yellow, its bearing is one of
degenerate lack of confidence and it
tastes disreputable. Cigars made of
this Quasi-material cost as low as
three quarters of cent each. The Ger
mans, however. cannot fight on this
kind Of tobacco. They will have to
buy their war supplies from us.
Germany makes a. great part of the
cigar labels, for her own use and for
other countries. One interesting de-
velopment In the tobacco business is
the request recently laid before Eng
lish dealers that they issue their cigars
unlabeled, if they are not able to get
satisfactory lithographic work at home.
In the matter of pipes and labels and
taxes the American tobacco trade may
suffer somewhat but IN every other
way 1t stands to profit.

The successful contamination of the

of the New Haven road, for a reorgani'
zation of the road without a suit in equity
under the Sherman act necessarily will
not preclude the bringing of criminal
suits against those directors and other
officials who were responsible for the pol

Mellen's administration.
II was learned on high authority last

enced against such a course merely by
the prospect that President Elliot will
seek to have the present directorate of
the road yield to the demands of the gov
eminent with regard to a scheme of re-
organization.
Mr.. McReynolds regards the criminal
phases of the alleged offenses which have

distress signals from the sinking vessel

tonight had been unable to get close
enough to the steamer to learn the name.
The wireless message said the sinking
vessel was thought 10 be a tank steamer.

The captain of the Manuel Calvo said
he believed the tank steamer might be

tank boat either was not equipped with
wireless or the engines were not working.
