Summer Time.

Summer time begins at 2 o'clock
next Sunday morning. when all the
clocks must be set ahead an hour.
Last year some timorous citizens fore
told all sorts of confusion in the
change of time. Their fears were
not fulfilled; the plan was easily put
into successful operation. SO it will
be this year.
THE SUN hopes its friends in rural
communities will overcome their I'M
friendly attitude toward daylight saw

1t Is effected. Perhaps the energetic
men and women who obtained the
enactment of the statute will find II
worth while to analyze the objections

and find way to controvert them.
In other countries agriculturists favor
daylight saving as strongly as town
dwellers do: the reasons for rural
Americas protests have never been
made convincingly clear.

Tobacco Substitutes and Artificial
Tobacco.

Shortage of tobacco in central and
northern Europe has had some curl
Gus results, which might furnish some
equally curious lessons for critics of
the weed. The most earnest efforts to
convert smokers into members of an
anti-tobacco league have usually been
concerned with attempts to startle
them with the dangers of nicotine, 1t
being assumed without proof and In
spite of obvious difficulties that nico-
tine is responsible for all the Ills, real
and imaginary, attributed to smoking.
This argument satisfies nine men out
Of ten, although they may have read
OF have been told the proportion Of
nicotine in smoke is exceedingly small,
and that. even II it were larger, II
would not account for the subtle en-
Invent which tobacco gives.
What is the secret of this enjoy
ment? There have been many theo-
ries, but they have never been salts
factorlly tested until the present day.
The question Is really whether men
can find substitute for tobacco, and
If 50, whether in character, flavor or
aroma 1t is as agreeable as real Ha-
vana or Virginia leaf.
In short, what Is the constituent
that makes tobacco delightful? Is 1t
nicotine, as so many alege, or is it
pyridine or some other property OF
smoke?
As a result of experiments in arti-
ficial tobacco 1t was found that the
substitutes, the chief of which are
dried cherry leaves and coltsfoot, lack
the soothing qualities of the genuine
weed. But rs nicotine Is related TO
pyridine, which can be made artifi-
cially, it Is possible that nicotine itself
may be produced synthetically and
employed to charge plant leaves with
the supposedly essential ingredient of
tobacco.

in association with 4 tobacco factory
