Treasury figu res and preliminary returns to the business of making smokes for the American pebple is increasing pro gressively at the rate of more than one per cent a month. The industry has swept past the $1,000,000,000 mark and is crowding its way to the two billion goal, says a Washington dispatch. During the month of July, treasu ry figures disclosed, 6,583,000 ciga retts were manufactured in the Uni ted States. This is an increase of 750,000,000 over the number in July 1923. If the pace is maintain ed there will be manfuractured ar.d sold in the United States during th? current fiscal year more than seven ty-seven billion. In 1914 the num ber manufactured was 16,427,000. Within the decade the tobacco man ufacturing industry has run up its output 450 per cent. For every adult in the United States , men and women, the ciga rette factories are turning out this year almost 1,200 cigaretts. This means that during 1924 every man and woman over 21 years of age will be furnished an average of more than three cigaretts a day. Two years ago the per capta output was 800 cigaretts for every adult. Con sumption has increased, according to bureau of internal revenue and census figures, about 50 per cent within two years. This increase is attributed largely to the rapid strides that the smoking habit has made among women, a habit that has been fostered qu'ckly and sedulously, it is claimed, by some of the chief manufactures of the country. Feminine consumption of cigaretts is in its infapcy, how ever; within a decade, unless there is abatement, the per capta constimp tion of cigaretts, considering adults only, will be more than a pack of' Kellogg’s Bran did more in two weeks than medicine token in 20 years Oni of regard for your own health, read this letter: Gentlemen: Your “Krumbled Bran,” used by me as a cereal, has done more for me in two weeks than the hundreds of dollars* worth of medicine 1 have taken in last twenty years for constipation.

Why does Kellogg’s Bran succeed when drugs and pills fail f The answer is simple. Drugs have an unnatural effect upon the bowels. They irritate the intestines.

As a source of revenue of the government tooncco now’ ranks third, figures just made public by the bureau of internal revenue show. The tax collecttioiu from this source amount to almost $1,000,0000,000 and the total for the year thus diver ted to the treasury is exceeded only by revenues from the income tax and the tariff. The increase during the past fiscal year was from $308.- 000,000 to $324,000,000. In JII when wartime taxes were in effect receipts were $150,000,000. With in six yeajs the flow of tobacco taxe to the treasury has doubled and within another six years, at the same rate, tobacco taxes will exceed the total of all customs duties. The government's figures also show that while cigarette smoking has increased by almost 50 per cent within three years the consumption of cigars has decreased by 25 per cent within five years. Cigar smok ing reached its zenith as a hab't in 1917, the internal revenue bur au’.- returns disclose, when 9,217,000 ci gars were manufactured. With the solitary exception with the depres sion in 1921 cigar smoking reached its lowest point last year, when the total number of cigars manufactur ed was 7,300,000. Within the next few months the census bureau will make public its figures of the growth of the tobacco manufaettring industtries between 1921 and 1924. In the former years the product of cigars and cigaretts was placed at $815,000,000. Aa fifty per cent increase i nexpected to materialize. Production of Tobacco Increased Increased consumption has grate ly stimulated the production of tob acco, and the weed is now being grown in sections where it was never before produced.

If eaten regularly, Kellogg’s Bran is guaran teed to bring permanent relief to the most chronic cases of constipation, or your grocer returns your money. For Kellogg ’s Bran is ALL bran. Noth ing but ALL bran can be so effective. That is why doctors recommend Kellogg’s. The wonderful, nut-lik'e flavor of Kellogg’s Bran is exclusive. It is de licious—totally unlike ordinary brans. Eat two tablcspoonfuls daily—in chronic cases, with every meal. Eat it with milk or cream and in the recipes on every package. Kellogg’s Bran, cooked and krumbled, is made in Battle Creek.

There were too many bricks in her life. Too many apart ment houses looking one like the other. Too many phonographs on the same street playing the same monotonous tunes. There wore no babies. Little grass and few trees. She and her husband were estranged. In Judge Sabath’s crowded court room where she was suing for sep arate maintenance, she started thinking over these thing’s. Then rising to her feet she shriek ed : “See this!” It was a poison vial. She drain ’d it to the last drop. They carried the disillusioned Mrs. Testard away to a hospital. Physicians say there is only a fight ing chance for recovery. “But there is no use for life,” •he sobs. “Why should one live with the bricks, the stone, the sameness and no love?” Mrs. Testard does not clearly un derstand. Neither does her hus band. The city is responsible. The husband operates an inn. In the inn and elsewhere his 23-year old wife saw all the life and gay sty a big city provides. She stood it five years. Then the woman in her wanted what every woman wants. “A home and babies," she says. ‘And some trees and flowers. Any thing but the bricks and stone.” Mrs. Testard has rebelled. There are a lot of others like her on the verge of rebellion only they do not know what they are re belling against. Such folks live in the artificial caverns, 50 families to a 100-foot pile of concrete and the hated bricks. Some have children. More have not. The landlord don’t want chil dren about. “See this," shrieked Mrs. Test ard. The courtroom thought she meant the poison. But she was really trying to show her thoughts.
