A few weeks ago, when the prices Of
pbacco In England were increased,
many smokers reluctantly relinquished
heir favorite brands and bought
cheaper mixtures. After a week or two
come of them gave up the search for a
ruitable substitute and returned to their
I'D loves. Now the smoker is to have
1 further trouble, for il is said that
here will be a radical alteration in the
nature Of a large number Of tobaccos.
rhe reason for this is that soon the
stocks of latakia ir England will have
been exhausted, and as this tobacco
.omes from Turkey there will be no
mrther supplies until the war is ended.
Latakia Is an integral part Of a large
number of mixtures, and the flavor OF
all will be affected by the change. Most
Of the latakia is grown is the hinter-
land around the ancient town OF La
talSia, in Asia Minor and none, ii Is said,
Is grown outside Turkish territory. So
smokers will be called on to make an
Dther sacrifice.
