And per 1,000, and reduced to pounds it amounts to more than 60 cents per pound. The proposed increase on cigarettes of 100 per cent, makes $2.50 per 1,000, or over $1.00 per pound. The present tax on cigars will not average more than 20 cents per pound, which la a discrimination 'against the farmers who grow cigar- ' . . 1L.

We can see no reason why cigars and cigarettes should not bear about the same tax as the best authorities of the country now claim that cigarettes Is the most wholesome way tobacco can be used. "The tax must be added to the cost of the (manufactured article. As that cost Increases the cost to the consum er also increases, the amount con sumed decreases. This means that the sale of leaf tobacco in the States that grow cigarette tobacco will not increase in quantity or price like they would If they were put on a fair tax able basis with cigars. Since the growers of tobacco suitable for cig frettes are so financially affected it would be to th:ir interests to imme diately caxmunloate with their repre sentatives and senators at Washing ton, urging that their Interest be fully considered in making any chance In tne tax on cigarettes. "The proposed increased tax on cig arettes would unquestionably mean that the grower of cigarette tobacco would not get justicie on account of the consumption of cigarettes being reduced by their increased cost, and the government Instead of increasing its income by this method, would i0ore than likely find that the de- consumption would more Whereas, the American Commission on War Finance, 60 Broadway, New York City, is a patriotic organization composed of such eminent Americans as George Foster Peabody, Amos Pin cbot, Frederick C. Howe, and others, standing for the following principles: "The war must be paid for as it proceeds. In dollars as well as in lives. T here must be no crushing legacy of bonded debt to be paid in taxes by the men who have done the fighting and their children. Let us make this a cash war, pa-as-you-enter war. The burden of fighting must be carried by those who are physically strong and fit to fight The burden of finance must be borne by those who are fin nana'allv strong and are able to give."

A" quotation from one recent letter": "I have been taking Hood's Sarsa parilla and Peptiron Pills as a course of medicine and find this combina tion has worked like a charm. They told me I had neuralgia, and cer tainly I was in a very low and dis couraging state of health. I suffered extremely with nervousness and had neuralgia pains so I was extremely restless and could not sleep nights. "Those nervous spells were awful ! "I heard about taking Hood's Sarsaparilla and Peptiron Pills one before meals, the other after the suggestion strnck me favorably so that I have taken the medicines faithfully with pleasing results. "It is a long time now since I have had one of those severe nervous spells. I can do a good day's house work, can work in my garden and walk a mile."
