Tbo oriental gurnets are the moxt vnluulilo and beautiful. They come principally from I't-gu; and tlx; town of Slrlnn having formerly been lli chief mart for them, tbey are hence by corruption known among lapldurles by the appellutlon of Slrlan-gurnetM.

CONSUME HUNDREDS OFTOH This War Is First Great Conflict In History Which Has Been Fought on Tobacco Publlg and Private Agen cies Have Responded Generously to Call New Departure In Providing "Luxuries." Tobacco Is now a staple munition of war. In the Iron Duke's time any soldier found drinking was lluble to the sevcreat puiilxlimeiit, and up to the time of the Crimean, war tobacco waa totally prohibited In any army. Today uncountable millions of cigarettes and hundreds of tons of tobacco have been sent out to the armies fighting on the western front, Sulonlca. Italy and Mesopotamia. In the crash of larger issues the fact seems to have escaped the notice it deserves this war Is the first great conflict In history which bus oeen rouglit on tobacco. In all previous wars the nations en gaged have concerned themselves In a more or less generous sulrlt with food. equipment and material, but rarely to any appreciable extent with the "lux nrles" of the fighters. In the present war public ond private agencies have been at work since the outset in all the belligerent countries to provide the men with little rxtras, and the chief of these has been tobacco. In Britain the provision made in thin reft by the army authorities was promptly supplemented by the public working through special funds or through newspaper organizations, which made it their business to see that the men who were fighting were duly supplied with adequate allow ances of tobacco in all forms. Public Responds Generously. The combined results of efforts In w hich the general public has taken the keenest and most generous Interest has been the dispatch to the various fronts of an incessant supply of "smokes" ol all descriptions. So fur as the British army Is con cerned, nil this tobacco or practically all of it, goes out to four or five mil lions of men duty free, but it Is a sig nificant circumstance that dennlte tliit luct unit also despite the i... t thnt successive increases during the wai nave brought this dutv from, rniiirhlv $1 to ?i.50 a pound, the consumption r uuty-paid tobacco still Jias gone on Increasing. Apart from these enhancements ol the duty, the cost of production alsc has risen steadily. Low-grade, dark American tobacco has gone up from li cents to 48 cents a pound and has In addition to hear enormously Increasei freight charges. A light China tobae co, in great request for blending wltt better grade leaf, wus nurehnse! he. fore tho war for 12 cents a pound. It ib now a (lollara pound and is still lr, demand even nt thut price and $2 or top of it for duty. The anxieties and nervous strain in separable from a great war are un donbtedly responsible for this In creased consumption at home. Tht testimony from the front is universal that were It not for generous suppllet of tobacco In all forms it would be Ira possible for the men to stand the strait of continuous conflict The same argument may not unrea sonably apply, though In a lesser de Ijree,' to those at home who by per slstcnt and unwearying effort are keep ing the fighting men supplied with al their requirements in the way of guns shells, clothing and all the. other colos 6al needs of the greatest war in his tory. Substitutes In Germany. Frnuce and Italy, with less extenslvt sources of supply, have been no lesi enthusiastic In their efforts to meet tht tobacco needs of their soldiers, whll until the raw material gave out It wai part of the duty of every IndivlduoJ cigar maker in Germany to ntanufne ture, free of cost so fur us wages wen concerned, 400 cigars within a certali stipulated period for the use of tht kaiser's troops. As we have seeu re cently, Germany has so little, tobaccc left that beech leaves and other sub stltutes have hud to be used to supply the demand, tho result being disas trous consequences in the heulth of tht men. Gnglund's chief source of supply has of course, been the United Stntea though a certalu amount of leaf has also come from India, Borneo, Java and elsewhere. With the enormous number of men called for the American army, however, the adequate working of the great tobacco plantations in the Stntcs,may soon become an extremely difficult problem. Even ns It Is, Imports have been decreasing in so marked a degree that the bonded stocks of to bacco in Britain have become danger ously depleted. , . . Stands to Reason. 'More money? .

With this exception, President Wilson has been able to accomplish the enactment of every measure he has deemed expedient in connection with the war. Failure of the Demo crats to approve the Susan B. Anthony amendment only strengthens the sus picion that the administration is op posed to extending the right of suf frage to women. Senator McNary voted with 'the Republican majority in supporting the amendment when it came before the Senate. Submission of thi woman suffrage amendment was defeated In the Unit ed States Senate by the 'votes of Dem ocratic Senators. More Republicans than Democrats voted for the measure while 21 of the 31 votes against the measure were cast by Democrats. True to his promise at Cte time of hla ap pointment, Senator McNary voted with the Republican Senators to give wo men the right of suffrage. . 1 Rain Drowns Sparrows. .Ruin fell so hurd lu a storm at Monndsvllle, W.
