 If your cigar costs more, the first thing to do is Co pick out the European king kaiser that you admire the least and tell him to his photograph what you think of him. For the organ of the tobaccOnst sets forth for the promised skyrocketing of cigars and most of them get back to the great war and hence to the royal rascal, whoever he is who let that pal of the high cost of living out of his sell.
 For instance, if your Perfume was made in this country the cost of labor higher. For why? Be- cause most any good cigarmaker make bomb or shrapnel machne-cigars being very much kin to both bomb and shrapnel-and he can get more by working in munitions factory than by rolling the brown leaf.
 But if it's a Perfectissmo from Cuba, then it's high because the has made it more profitable to work in the sugar industry than in the tobacco plants. Moreover cheesecloth costs more. Maybe you never think of cheesecoth yhen you smoke your own cigars but doubtless you have had hay thoughts of some such article when you smoked some of the cigars presented to you. Cheesecoth is necessary adjunct Co the preparation of tobacco leaf the necessity of being reminded Of t when the leaf is all rolled and match applied the end of the roll is not quite seltevident
 Then too. you probably haven't thought of the fact that fertilizer has advanced and that growing tobacco must have fertilizer Reverting again to gift cigars. you may have been tempted believe that all the fertilizer in the world had been assembled and rolled into certain cigars after the leaf grown but there is evidence hand that this is really the for the shortage that has fertilizer up

For Desirable Property Desirable
 Tenant May Always Be Found

There may not be enough tenants to "go around" there may be more available apartments or houses than are in demand. But the desirable houses and apartments should be without desirable tenants
 if you own property which should bring you a regular rental income and allow that property to remain tenantless for any extended period you needessy submitting to a financial loss which, if assessed upon you in the form of a municipal tax would arouse your wrath and resentment
 You look about the city and find properties, far less desirable than your satisfactory tenanted and bringing to their profits their invest ment
 Is there any doubt about the possibility of find ing tenant for your property assuming that it is desirable, good value, and well advertised?
 To fail to advertise properly in the face of a pended rental Income from it, is confession that the property is not rentable through advertising And that would be to confess that it is held for too high a rental that it is badly located, that for other reason it would not appeal to discriminating people.
 your property is desirable advertising will find desirable tenant for you. Nothing is more certain than that

War May Bring Social Fame
 To Spain's Beautiful Queen

Should Spain's efforts to bring about the holding at Madrid of the peace conference which must follow the cessation of hostilities be success ful, Queen Victoria Ena, one of the youngest and most beautiful of Flu ropes royal women, will become the most famous hostess in the world. Many of the worlds most brilliant men will assemble at the conference, and the queens duty will be to entertain these guests of Spain and their wives on an extensive and royal scale. It is said that the young queen, who is yet in her twenties, would greatly well come the call for such brilliant fetes at the stately and somewhat formal Castilian court, which iE spite of King Alphonsos democratic ways. still re mains the most ceremonious in Flu rope. The queen is fond of dress and one of the most lavish customers of the great Paris dressmakers, her dress bills running up to more than $1600O yearly.

Uses of Paper.

The uses of paper are extending very rapidly. Bags made of spun pa per are growing Swedish product, and American manufacturers are be- ginning to produce them. Coffee bags are made of single strand, open weave, with a sheet of paper pulp inside. Onion bags are being offered Several firms are engaged in making some very attractive furniture or water-proofed paper reeds woven over wooden and rattan frames. The zSwedes are mak- ing a three-stranded spun-paper rope for general use that is we'll spoken of. Paper horse blankets sound queer. but they are being made. Fifeproof fab rics sound still more odd. but they are making them nevertheless on a paper basis. The Japanese. who. are the most expert of all in the utilization of pa per, are making aviator's suits of oiled paper that are very light and resistant to cold.
