CIGARETTE NOW IN VOGUE Statistics of Internal Revenue Bureau Tell 'I'ale, Featuring North Caro lina. Washington, July 30. -Students of economic trends and of the currents of national life as revealed in govern ment statistics have found a ninterest ing story by reading between the lines of the recent announcement by the in ternal revenue bureau on taxes coll ected in the various States during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920. Under the head of "Miscellaneous Taxps" in the bureau's published sum mary, North Carolina is credied with having turned in $124,000,000 to the government for the fiscal year just ended as compared with $71,000,000 for the fiscal year preceding. It is certainly an arresting fact that North Carolina is now the fourth State from the top in returning mis cellaneous federal taxes, yielding mec ond place to wealthy Illinois by only $6,000,000 and thirl place to still wealthier Pennsylvania by only $5, 000,00, and actually surpassing affluent Ohio by $30,000,000. Moreover, the statistics prove that there is a starting pr'ogressiveness about this high rank of the Tlar Heel State in the m isce'llaneous tax item. In the' fiscal year ending June 30o, 1919 for instanlce, P en nsylvan ia led North Carol in a ii n miscella neous tax returns by $64 ,000t,000 Illinois biy her $50, 0030,00(0; Ohio led~ her by $1,0(00,000 and Kentucky which this year is over $100,00(0,000 Ih(hind1( North Cariol ina went ahead of her b~y $85,000,000.

O FT. hpation mighty advance of North Carolina in the face of the nation-wide aridity ? After asking himself this question the investigator naturally procee(ds to another: What is the particular line of fed erally taxable industry in which North Carolina is most active? Tobacco manufactures, of course. North Carolina's tax returns indi cate not only that tobacco is today the greatest single tax-yielding prod uct in the United States federally con sidered, but also that the use of thisI product is increasing at an astonish ing rate following the relegation of John Barleycorn to outlawry. North Carolina's tax returns prove in addition that the cigarette is the special form of tobacco product which is returning the largest proportion of these taxes. The vogue of the cigar ette, indeed is gaining so rapidly that it will not be very long at the present rate before the tax on it will make up for the loss of revenue caused by tle nation's "dryijess". Of North Carolina's $71,000,000 total of miscellaneous federal taxes collect ed for the year ending June 30, 1919, no les athan $67,000,000 came from to bacco manufactures and of that $67, 000,000 over $50,000,000 was derived from the taxes on cigarettes. Such details are not yet available official ly at the office of the commissioner of internal revenue for the fiscal year which ended June 3, 1920, but it is safe to say that the part played by the "weed" and especially by the cig arette, is at least as great proportion ally in the returns for the fiscal year just closed as it was in the year pre ce(ding. The States next to North Carolina in federal tobacco tax collectilms are New York and Virginia, in the order named in the fiscal year ending .June 30o, 191 9, Newv York collected federal taxe's a mounting to $35,600,000 on to bacco manufactures of which $24,000, 000, represented the cigarette, Virginia in the same year returnedl $1 2,600.000) of which $8,500,00 rep~resented the cigarette.

C. that the percentage of the cigarette tax to the whole tobacco federal tax in the next two leading tobacco states were almost as large as in North Car olina. In the smaller tobacco States, it is true, the proportion of the cigarette is not so large, though this idea does not seriously affect the general trend. The States following Virginia are Pennsylvania. with $12,01D,000 returned in federal tobacco taxes in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919; Missouri $10,868,000 Ohio with $859,000 and New Jersey with $10,200,000. The re ceipts in federal taxes on all tobacce in that fiscal year showed an increase of 31 per cent over the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1916, while the increase from the item of cigarettes alone was 36 per cent. The latter figures are not yet available for 1920. The total receipts in federal taxes on alcoholic beverages in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, were $483 000,000. On tobacco in the same year the federal taxes collected totaled $206,000,000 for the whole country, cigarettes furnishing $90,500,000 of the mount. This year it is reasonable to estimate a gain of $100,000,000 at least in the tobageo item, and at that rate the smoker will in a few years have compensated to Uncle Sam's treasury for the absence of John B. lately deceased. o ---0 USE GREEN TOMATOES FOR MAKING MARMALADE To those who are fond of the piqu ant flavor of green tomatoes in made dishes, the following recipe for mar malade, given out by the Department of Agriculture, will be welcome: Green Tomato Marmalade. 2 pounds green tomatoes. 1 1-2 cups sirup. One-half lemon and 1 orange, or one-quarter cup sugar. 2 1-2 lemons (10 ounces). Wash and trim tomatoes cut into slices mediun thick. Cut lemon and orange into very thin slices. (Be careful to pick out all seeds). Add sirup and sugar.. A sial lamount of salt (one-eighth to .one-fourt teas poon) is often considered advantag eous; here, as always, It renders the sweet taste of sugar less cloying. Boiling orange peel for a few minutes in salted water prevents its hardening later, when cooked in sirup. Heat slowly, 'stirring until well mixed, then simmer gently until the tomatoes are soft and the marmalade Superior 1 f or from per cent any o t h e high - grad! the samne c Made in to and 2 tonm deliverics fi Quick fac ice on rer has the consistency of thick, heavy botqm next the ketti jam.
