ment, in many cases for even the ncces-
saries Of life; the petty annoyanccs,
grievances md worries which enter orr
daily life. the rcstlesaDcss, the lack of
contentment which ig everywhere mani
fest, all these fac'ors crcnte a demand
which must be satisfied.
For some alcohol supplies the demand,
for some drugs, for others, the theater,
athletic sports, moving pictures, motoring
and hunting.
But the demand exists, and there is
abundant evidence to prove that tobacco
answers this demand more universally
than any of the her sedafves mem
toned, that it renehes larger mass of
people, and that IL accomplishes its plIr-
pose with the minimum Of after effects.
There are some individuals who can
not Use tobacco; there are some who
should not usp H., there are some who use
it TO excess and who suffer In consequence.
There IS, on the other hand, large army
Of moderate tobacco users who indulge
for years without appreriably bnd physi-
cal effect and with good mental effect.
Each individual must he his own Judge
as TO whether he can use tobacco safely,
and also ms TO the amount he can tolerate.
The tobacco habit may be likened in
many respects 10 the ten and coffee habit.
Each may do harm in some cases; each
may be q source Of comfort and solace
in others. Under ideal surroundings and

WHEN PUBLIC WILL BUY.
A Lull Is Possible Unless Prices are
Made Satisfactory.

In the opinion of leading resident
buyer, the present orgy of retail sales is
to be followed by hull in consumer buying
and on future prices and values will de-
pend the question of when the public will
resume purchasing on normal scale. BE
described some of the factors that en-
tered into his conclusion that the retail
business is in for quiet spell.
There are many reasons why any one
who has studied the situation will reach
the conclusion that a lull in retail buying is
TO come, he said, "snd only one why nor
NAL activity is to be expected. The one
reason why people may do their normal
purchasing is that objection to prices may
be removed by suitable reductions. This
will be the fundamental cause of con-
sumner action, because there are stan
large number of people who arc conser-
wing their purchases and waiting for de-
cided price drop. This untitled demand viii
arise TO be satisfied when prices get to
levels that look legitimate. Propaganda
against high prices will stop and the public
will be unleashed to take advantage of
the merchandise offered. So much for
getting at the real reason governing nor
NAL sales. There may be a lot of talk about
weather, Government propaganda and
other factors in business, but to get
normal demand we wiz have to re-eetab-
hsh normal prices.
Looking at the other side Of the ques-
ton, namely, the prospect of lull, there
are many underlying reasons which make
this a reasonable prophecy. The public
that has money TO spend has been glut-
ted with sales. Since they have been the
chief customers of the retail stores, the
fact that they are tired of sales is import
ant. If this group of ready spenders sud-
denly tightens its purse strings 1t is going
TO leave the stores pretty much high and
dry.
Another point TO be considered Is that
there is no style stimulus. The fashions
show no great variations, and the stores
are prepared 10 sell for Fall about the same
designs they sold for Spring, This means
that the woman who has determined to
make her suit or dress last over another
season won't be embarrassed by seeing
others wear totally different styles.
THE political and labor situations are
also elements which must be classified as
interfering with a normal demand. A
Presidential election is usually disturbing,
and from labor standpoint jobs are not
so secure as they were.
"All told, it seems TO me that IL will be
well after the election before real de-
mand will show up, and the only thing
that will encourage 1t is confidence on
the part of the consumer In the values
that are being offered. There is no use
fooling ourselves on that score" New

The pleasure effect begins even before
the cigar or Gig arctic is lighted. The
smoker carefully selects and inspects his
cigar and the preparation of the tobacco
for smoking receives much attention. All
these things reflect the state Of mind OF
the individual Then the sound of the
lighting match, the sight Of the curling
smoke md the glowing tip. the aroma of
the burning leaf, the familiar taste, the
touch and feel of the cigar or cigarette:
all Of these factors com bne to produce

The appeal is not to one sense. but to
all the senses,~ and the psychic effect re-

The increased pulse rate and heightened
blood pressure noted in some cases fol-
lowing the use of tobacco and ascribed by
investigators along this line to nicotine

New York, Aug H.--John l. McGraw,
manager of the New York Giants, yes
terday demanded, through counsel, that
he be indicted in order that he might
establish before a competent tribunal his
innocence of any participation in bring
ing about injuries to John c. Slavin, actor
who was found about week ago uncon
scious in front of the McGraw home.
McGraw's counsel made request for
an indictment to Assistant District At
torney Unger, who last week examined the
baseball man in connection with the
Slavin investigation. The request follow

ney's office that the case would not be

district attorney that his mind was a

Jury to Slavin. Slavin, a former naval
officer, accompanied McGraw home after
the alleged scuffle at the Lambs Club
and later the actor was picked up on the
sidewalk.
A grand jury inquiry is necessary,
according to counsel for McGraw, be-
cause of the widespread publicity that
has been given this most unfortunate and
regrettable occurrence"

Graw." he added, might in some way
account for the extensive comment upon
this matter, but can hardly suffice to ex-
plain the reasons for his not answering

before magistrate openly and publicly,

NAV be known. We doubt that the Dis
tirct Attorney has used every endeavor
10 institute Some legal proceedings where
by this matter may be comprehensively
inquired into and definite result obtained. )"

Bloedorn, lieutenant-commande in the

Custom of Smoking" published in the

Tobacco is means of diversion which,

tobacco, which are absorbed during the
act of smoking, we could obtain these
active principles TO pill or ia blet form and
administer them much more cheaply, ac-
