ecoTLAND.

A few weeks ago, when the prices OF
tobacco in England were increased,
many smokers reluctantly rellnqulsheu
their favorite brands and bought
cheaper mixtures. After a week or two
some of them gave up the search for a
suitable substitute and returned TO their
old loves. Now the smoker Is to have
u further trouble, for it is said that
there will be a radical alteration in the
nature of u large number of tobaccos.
The q for his is that soon the
stocks of latakia II England VIII have
been exhausted, and as his tobacco
comes from Turkey, there Will be no
further 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 Iatakia is grown is the hlnter-
land around the ancient town of La
takia, in Asia Minor and none, 1t is said,
is grown outside Turkish territory. SO
smokers will be called on to max an
other sacrifice.

An organization has been formed In
Holland for pushing the use of domestic

clares that in many cases foreign goods
are used instead of domestic solely on

The saloon Is the exact opposite Of
