POSSIBILITIES OF CIGARETTE
 SEEM TO BE UNLIMITED

Chicago, March 22-Home brewers are much interested in the statement that every cigarette contains q little furfural, which has kick 50 times stronger than alcohol. Now if they can extract this dope, they can frame up a cocktail, one sip of which would be equivalent to an entire old time New Years eve.
 The disclosure came with the showing here today of motion picture which will be used by the foes of the flag. One part of the picture shows how S3,- 900, 900 goes up in smoke every day in the year. That amount of money would pay the salaries of 3OO,OOO ministers, it was sadly remarked.
 The remarkable growth of the riga rette industry was shown in pictures. In 1902 only 3,OOO,OO pills were con sumed in the United States. By 1911 the number had grown to 10000,0O0,- GOO, and in 1918 the total exceeded 160,- GOO 100000.
 Tobacco, the variety used in ciga- rettes especially, is not only soothing narcotic, but fs valuable as a rat poi son. A rat was placed in glass cell and few whiffs of cigarette smoke sent nto keep him company. The TO- dent expired without more ado. The picture also shows that with each puff of cigarette smoke there is released ammonia, carbon monoxide. prussic acid, cordin and nicotine, nearly aff of them deadly poisons. Gazette.

 Men and women were searched with what Muskogee attorney, who was on the train described as utmost cour- tesy."

Although the size and shape Of the
