TOBACCO IN WAR

While at least two of the governments at "a have placed a Dn
upon such alcoholic drinks IS vodka and absinthe, it is noticeable, says
a writer upon the war, that at least three Of the governments re using
their utmost endeavors to supply the soldiers in the trenches with
tobacco.
The craving of the fighting mar for nicotine in the shape of cigars,
cigarettes and smoking tobacco is apparently approved by his superiors
and their medical advisers. American newspapers contain not only ap-
peas to the generosity Of the public for food, clothing and medical sup
plies for the noncombatants and the wounded, but re are also impor-
tuned to forward tobacco and cigarettes.
One of the most pressing demands of the German crown prince up IN
the people at home is for cigars and tobacco for his soldiers, and one
of the most striking pictures which has been drawn by reporters at the
front the story OF the marching of 10000 German soldiers through
Louvain o n the a to the western border of Belgium.
Every other man had a pipe or a cigar in his mouth"
Just why men crave tobacco when working under high nervous ten
sion is a mystery; it has eve been clearly established that tobacco,
except when used to excess, is responsible for deterioration of nerve or
brain fiber. 1t apparently has no food value, and yet som men will
smoke with comfort when they should, but cannot eat.
