TOBACCO PRODUCTS

Cigar and Cigarette Makers Adopt
Sanitary Methods in Fac

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 31-Moves were
made today toward the regeneration of
the popularity of that peculiarly Ameri-
can product, the scent cigar. Taking
leaf from the book of the pure food
processes, a large American cigar COM
pany has determined to place its manu-
featuring activities on strictly scien-
tific basis, making its products conform
to the most advanced standards of pure
food manufacture. These changes, 1t
was announced, will cost in the neigh
borhood of 100000.
DR.. Charles Mayo, eminent physician
and surgeon, is largely responsible for
this move. 1t was his discoveries and
declarations on the cources of infec-
tious diseases which prompted the &C.
ton. DR.. Mayo states that fully rs per
cent of the infectious diseases have their
origin in the mouth.
The methods used in the manufacture
of cigars have always been subject to
attack by the opponents of tobacco. In
the old days this was fully justified in
some cases, since the product was man
ufactured under unsanitary conditions
in ill-lighted, unclean shops. The to-
bacco was rolled by hand and then the

Millions Of persons throughout the
United States will be given another
opportunity tonight to learn of the
movement to Americanize the residents
of the District of Columbia when radio
addresses are delivered by Senator
Jones of Washington, ranking Repub-
lican on the Senate District commit
tee and author of the pending resolu
ton to remove the political disability
of Washingtonians, and Senator Cap
per of Kansas. chairman of the Dis
trict committee.
The addresses will be delivered fro.l
$50 to 10 o'clock at Station WRC and

Speakers Protest Present Status.
Senator Jones has long been one of
the Staunchest supporters of the move
ment to give the inhabitants of the Dis
trict representation in Congress and
the right to vote for President and Vice
President. He has frequently declared
that the District has suffered from con-
gressional discrimination. His knoWl-
edge OF Washington has been gained
from 20 years service in the Senate
and 10 years service in the House.
The position of Senator Capper at
the head of the District committee has
brought him into close touch with the
problems which the residents of Wash
lngton must face. He, too, has come
to the conclusion that it is contrary to
the principles upon which the Amer
lean Government is based to deprive
the inhabitants of this city of the right
to participate in the National Govern
ment

the citizens joint committee for ma
tional representation, will be delivered
, at Station WRC between and $50
