IT FOI GIFTS OF BOX OF CIGARS
fls Expected To Wipe Out Bitter |ness Between Trusts and Indepen denU—Will Pet Together
"National Cigar Day, Monday, Octo- er 12, has stirred great enttauglastn the trade tbrougbout the country," 1 C. Pred CroBby, editor of Tobacco secretary of tbe organization |rhicb proposes lo add a new day to be calendar, In speaking upon the ilblect yesterday.
l"Tbe movement was started In New lork early in July," be continued, sod It has been taken up by manu cturers, Jobbers and retailers every- irbere in the United States with such |lm tbat It promises not only to be ome a permanent institution, but in kely to rival Labor Day, Arbor Day Qd California Orange Day In Iniport- Bce and interest. The idea is based on tbe fact that more than eighty lilllons of cigars are consumed lu this •untry every year, or an average ot |ighty cigars for each man, wouian Qd child—although of course, the pen smoke the cigars.
"Contributions to a fund for the nec-
|«Bary preliminary work have been
enerous and numerous, comtnltteeK
Jive been appointed to make arrange
uen'tu and provide suggestions foi
attention to National Cigar Day.
pennants are being designed and al¬ ready there Is tbe liveliest interest Ibown by retailers In tbe proposal, rampa, Fla., for Instance, is so en buslastlc that the trade there bas eu restrained with difliculty from Appropriating tbe Idea and changing It into a country wide Tampa Cigar :)ay."
One feature of the programme was revealed last week in this city when ir. Crosby sent a communication call¬ ing attention to National Cigar Day to Ibe convention of tbe Improved Order of Odd Fellows. He made the^ sug- ¦(.estion that tbe day would be obser- Ived appropriately by sending boxes of Icigars to tbe men occupants of Odd IPellows' homes in the various States. iThe idea was seized with enthusiasm. Similar suggestions are being sent ^o iraternal organizations in all parts of the country, including the Masons, .led Men, Knights of Columbus, typo- {raP'^lcal unions and labor bodies gen- brally. At the proper time It will be et forth that National Cigar Day will . an appropriate time for gifts of oxes of cigars In all directions. VVlv fa can make presents to their hus- nnds of choice brands without bein^ Oder the suspicion that always at acbes to Christmas cigars. Tbo honorary president of the Na- lioqal Cigar Day movement is Mal- Ihew W. Berrlman, of Tampa and New I'rok. The vice presidents hail iiOui Lu of the principal cities. Cincinnati las three vice presidents, Chicago has our, Boston three, San Francisco liree. Philadelphia flve, while Wash- BK. D. C; Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buf Jilo, New Orleans, Denver, Seattle Ind scores of other cities each have ne vice president. All branches of the trade have tak J up the project, and among the moni amest and enthuslaatfe workers are „- members of associations of in Impendent dealers. One of the latter jd yesterday:
J "For National Cigar Day all pf the
lite!ness between the trust and tho
dependents will be wiped out. The
wid the little men are all in
(gether to make It a success."

PEKFUME PRICES RAISED BY EUROPEAN CONFUCT
Apportunity for Synthetic Essen¬ tial Oil Industry in the United Sutes
Advances in perfumery, toilet wa¬ ters and similar luxuries are promised all along the line as the ^result of the war in Europe. The eKsential oIIh, essences and other basic materials used in the manufacture of perfumery In this country come chiefly from France, Germany and Switzerland, with lesser supplies from England, Italy and Bulgaria. No natural bases are made in the United States, but tbere is one large establishmnet which does an extensive business In synthe¬ tics, rivalling the great German and
SvIlM mannfacturers In these comino- ditles. '
The Importation of perfumery and scented soap and toilet supplies en¬ gages the attention of several large houses In this city, which lu the trade headquarters in America. All of these had fair sized stocks on hand at tbe beginning of hostilities, but their sup- pljes are dwindling. Just how long tbe stock will last tbe impoi-ters are unable to say, but sbould the war last more tban a few months the Industry will be paralyzed in this country, one of the large Importers said yesterday,
Wliolesal^ prices have not yet ad¬ vanced abnormally. William O. Unger- er, one of tbe largest Importers of essential oils from France and Eng¬ land, reviewed the situation as fol¬ lows:—
' "On account of the appalling condi¬ tions tUkt exist at the present time In Europe it seems very probable that
Bblpmenta of esaentlal oils, srntbetics, concretea and similar supplies will not be resumed for many montlui to come. It has been necessary for us to with¬ draw our quotations. We are con¬ serving our present stock and will try to meet tbe requirements of ttae trade to tbe best of our ability, but natur¬ ally we are giving special attention to tbose wbo taave been regular users of our products."
Tbe mannfacutrers. It was stated, are filling old contracts at tbe regu¬ lar rates so ldng as tbey can to re¬ tailers, but tbey regard advances In price as inevitable even should the war not be prolonged, for tbe Industry

DISINB'ECTION, or the destruction of infectious germs, is one of the most irnp<jrtant weapons in our war against disease. Just as the modor'n riHc is mucli more precise and effective than the old time blunderbuss, so ]\I01)1':UN DISINFECTION is much more pre¬ cise and effective than thc FUMIG.-^TION OF THE PAST.
Twenty-five years ago no ono had any very clear idea where the dis¬ ease genus were to be found, and tlie best thing to do seemed to be to put some gas into the air which would find them and kill thein wher- <!ver they were. So sulphur and formaldehyde disinfection were in¬ vented. These gases couid only be applied to the room, however, at the end of the disea.se after the patient had been removed.
Now that we know that ilisease germs almost always leave the body of the sick persi)U in certain duiinite discharges, in the excreta and in the discharges from the ear, nose and throat, it is ,piuch more effective to UISINFECT THESE DISCHARGES themselves, and this can be done right along ALL THKOUGH THE COURSE OP THE DIS¬ EASE.
If a case of communicable disease occurs in your family the physi¬ cian is required by law to tell you on his first visit just how the dis¬ charges should be disinfected ac«cording to the regulations of the State Department of Health. DisoTiarges from the ears, nose and mouth should be received on cheap cloths or paper? and promptly burned or disinfected with a 5 per^cent solution of carbolic acid. Discharges from the bowels should be disinfected by adding one part of .unslaked lime to eight parts of a watery suspension of the discharges.
Clotliing, bed linen, towels, napkins and similar articles used by the patient should be soaked in a g'/o p*"' cent carbolic acid solution, then boiled for twenty minutes in a strong soapsuds solution (one ounce of common soda to twelve quarts of hot soapsuds). The eating utensils of the patient should be kept separate and boiled for ten minutes in hot soapsuds.
The nurse or attendant upon the sick should have a basin of 2Vi per cent carbolic acid solution always at hand to disinfect the hands after they become soiled. Seventy-five per cent alcohol is another very good disinfectant for the skin.
THOKOUCiH CLEANSING OF THE HANDS WITH SOAP AND WATER is one of the MOST IMPORTANT of all precautions against coinnninieable disease at all times, whether sickness is known to be prQsent or not.
If'precauiions such as .lese are taken 'DURING THE COURSE OF THE UISE.ASE ' . patient's room WILL NOT BE BADLY INFECTED AT ITS CLOSE. ^ Some germ^ will have been discharged in the fine spray thrown out in Bwifhing, -sneezing and loud Speaking and mar be on the: floor and furriiture. THEY WILL NOT BB PERCHED ON 'i'HE UPPER WALLS ^D CEILING. Those that are presctit will die out quickly in the air and sunlight. THOR- t>UGH AIHI.N'G ANI) CLEANSING are usually all that is necessary to insBfe-safety in such a case. After removing specially contaminated objects and airing out and exposing the room to sunlight as much as possible the woodwork and plain furniture should be washed and the floor scrubbed with soap and water.
Renovation and repapering aud disinfection with formaldehyde may be necessary in certain cases, but ONLY when the physician or the health officer deems it necessary.
