Your Uncle Samuel has quite a bunch of heavy smokers. For instance, millions of men and some few women spent $700,000,000 for tobacco last year. Many people have been out of work and times in some localities have been "hard," yet the tobacco habit has been going right along entirely undisturbed by lack of work or hard times, it seems. For cigars we spent Cigarets cost us $73,000,000. Smoking and chewing tobacco set us back $157,000,000.

Snuff extracted $24,000,000 from our pocketbooks. Despite the great anti-cigaret fight that has been waged irMhe United States, the production of "coffin nails" has increased 450 per cent in the last 10 years. Cigars and smoking tobacco increased a. little. Plug tobacco has about held its own.

T.j railway company, when asked to outline the relation of the publio to railroads investments, said In part: "It may be said that the railroad world la encumbered wits a lot of which exist only tn the popular fancy.

For Instance, because have been a tew so-called "railroad magnates' whose names' have figured prominently In finance, many people have come to believe that the railroads! of the country are largely owned by a few rich men.

When, therefore, the value of these securities Is depressed or perchance destroyed, the hardship la a hundredfold greater upon thousanda of every-day citizens, than upon the handful of good or bad. who have figured prominently tn railroad circles.

Hundreds of millions of dollars ot the assets of our great life and flra companies, savings banks, trust companies, educational and fiduciary Institutions are Invested In railroad bonds and the mount, therefore, that ilhe soundness of these bonds Is called into question the financial solidity of myriad Institutions directly affecting the welfare of millions of and bank depositors la gravely menaced. During the last several" jyrs, many miillona of dollars representing depreciated values, have been charged off the books of concerns like those Enumerated above. American railroads have become a vital part of the very woof and fabric of the nation. Their continued efficiency Is absolutely essential to the smallest community tn the land.
