Tobacco Against Candy.

Smokers are frequently tainted with
the unpatriotic nature of their ex-
penditure on tobacco, observes The
London Economist, which points out
that the usual defense is the assertion
that very high proportion of the cost
goes to the government in the form of
taxes. 1.-The man or woman who ac-
cuses the smoker of unpatriotic con-
duet IS always a non-smoker, and most
non-smokers are devotees of sweet
meats,' declares this serious financial
publication, adding, ''The accusation
lies i'll in their mouths; for, whatever
may be said for or against smoking in
war time, there can surely be no de.
fense for expenditure on sweetmeats
