- BUSINESS PUCE
Crowds $2,000,00,000 Goal
Enormous Increase In
Cigarette Use
WASHINGTON, Oct. The
cigarette has turned pacemaker in
the business revival. 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'

Mr. Carman’s experience has been

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. The more they are
used, tile more one has to use. Finally,
they have no effect at all.

Perfumed “Fags" for Women
Notwithstanding the enormous out
put there is a scarcity at the present
time it is said of some of the bands
of perfumed cigaretts used exclu
sively by women. Apparently the
factories, working overtime, can’t
make milady’s cigarettes fast en
ough.
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. In South Georgia
esveral million dollars worth of tob
acco has been grown 'and sold this
year, and the acreage in this state
will be greatly increased next year.
intestines. It cleans, eweeps and puri
fies them. It acts exactly as nature
acts. And it is never necessary to in
crease the amount eaten. 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. Sold by all grocers.
Big City Gave Her Brick
and Stone —She Wanted Love
There Were No Babies, Little
Grass. No Trees—Then She
Rebelled
CHICAGO, Oct. 2!’. Mrs.
Charlotte Gates Testard has re
belled. 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. I
