Since the beginning of the European
war there has been steady increase in
price Of American leaf tobacco From
1912 to 1915 the crops averaged LOG cents
a pound for leaf, while in 1916 14.7 cents
was obtained, and the crop of 1917, under
the pressure Of demand, had run up to
24.9 cents pound, averaging the various
grades of leaf.
This has been impressed upon an smok-
ers in the odd prices for cigars, such as
q and z and IL cents, and also in the
higher quotations for their favorite brands
of cigarettes and smoking tobaecos. Al

Half dozen OF tneSe smoking tODaccos
have been commandeered by the Govern
ment for the use of the boys over there.
Some of them use two ounce bag OF
the "makin's" in day and sometimes they
make a bag last two days.
Cigarette smoking is rather economical
with most persons. They smoke the ciga-
rette pretty close down to the cork TIP
or to the finger tips, and not much Is
thrown away, surely not more than 10
per cent by weight if a smoker IS really
attending to business.
There are men and some women who
will consume from thirty to forty ciga-
rettes in twenty four hours without being
much the worse for it, and at the top
limit therefore they are burning up
tobacco at the rate of fourteen ounces a
week or in the neighborhood of fifty
pounds year.
10 Tobacco Stand.rdired7
The cigarette has the advantage Of
being standardized portion Of tobacco,
which is more than can be said of cigars
and pipe brands. theoretically only one
tenth Of the length of cigar is wasted.
Practically there are MN who smoke far
less than that, and having no interest
in the cold robin throw it away and light
another cigar.
Men are smoking more closely now and
the little cigar and the cigarette are lav-
ing their innings. A cigar is worse than
Dead Sea fruit once its artlor has cooled,
while cigarette is a continuous perform
ance until its close,
With four average cigars a day, or
about one ounce Of tobacco, a man can
do ~ery well. By using holder he can

the best cigars deposits Of tar from the
burning accumulate in the end and make
the last tenth far from pleasant smoking.
The taxes on cigars last year were $24,
S0O,311, an increase of s., 629, 1852 over the
year before, but, after all, the cigar trade
has not gained a great deal. There has
been only small growth Of late years III
what the trade calls manufactured to-
bacco-that is smoking brands in bags,
plug cuts, fine cuts, snuff. In 1913 the
country manufactured 8,732,S15,O0o
cigars and cheroots, as compared with the
s,7O7, 625 900 Of 1914.
Allowance of'4H Pounds Each.
There were 49,, 572, 0ss pounds of TO-
baceo manufactured in 1913, as against
the AS, 271 1854 pounds the year follow
ing. This would make it appear that
every one of US was getting four and
half pounds of the smoking, chewing and
snufing varieties in the course of year.
Considerable quantities of these Pf0duc'S
were, however, exported before the war;
The demand for the manufactured
grades has showed gains since the United
States entered the war because the Gov

And who is there who can gauge the
ration for a pipef The cigar store clerk
looked thoughtful as he considered the
question.
"Give it up, said he "Was in the
service myself once, but that all depends.
Some men, who seem to be smoking
deal at that, are using up tobacco so slow
that a pound will last them for two
months.
"a man can, by attending strictly to
business, get away with a pound of TO-
bacco a week, but that is unusual, espe-
cially when good tobaccos run from 81 20
to So a pound. Taken all in all, pipe
smoking is economical, although it is
sometimes ineonvenient. 1t does not con-
pare in convenience with the cigarette or
the small all tobacco cigar. As packages
get smaller men are more saving"
The amount of tobacco acceptable to a
soldier or sailor varies with circumstances.
The methodical Germans have at times
allotted to each soldier two cigars and
two cigarettes day or about three-guar-
tiers of an ounce of tobacco In other forms
as required.
France will probably need more than
she has been getting, which would call
for conservation here, for most of the
tobacco in the French cigarettes, which
our soldiers do not relish, is really Amer
lean grown. The requirements of the
British ard French armies combined last
year were 100000 pounds.
British Give Troops 20 Per Cent.
1t is reported by the British War Mis-
sion that the tobacco manufactured prod
uets for 1917 reached III, 000, 900 pounds,
of which g per cent. was in smoking
tobacco and the balance in cigarettes. OF
this amount the military forces consumed
40 per cent.
The estimate was made by the French
Minister of Finance-for tobacco being a
Government monopoly in France he has
much to say about it-that the output Of
manufactured products for France would
be 135, 900 pounds, provided the raw
materials could be forwarded from the
United States. France apporiions 40 per
cent. of her tobacco output to her fgbe-
ing men. The Minister Of Finance m
Italy is caleulating on receiving Fo!ooo,-
600 pounds of leaf tobacco, three quarters
of which is expected from the UnHed
States. Consumption in the army and
navy of Italy is put at As per cent. of
that total.
The amount Of tobacco available for
