from his breath, his clothes, his body

1t has been to me one of the unsOlved
mysteries, how woman with fine in
s..nots, clear intuition, pure mind and
clean body, could accept the company
of, much less live in union with such a
man. There are thousands, aye mil
hons of women who do it, and how do
they do it' Will some such women in .
form me, 1t can be accounted for only
by The supposition that,'uch women take
after, and are the daughters of fathers
whose existence was tinctured with to-
bacco and who therefore get not to like
it, but simply to endure it. In no other
way can il be explained for-and the

A lady friend of the author declined
three different offers of marriage, and
all of them from men of influence and
position, simply because they used to-

the opportunity presented itself Of

plasurabls married life. Women, one
and all, urge ON you the rule of free
dom from tobacco, or no husbands.
An adjunct and accessory in those
who use tobacco are divers in other bad
habits.
A man who uses tobacco will gener-
ally be found an intensely lustful man,
and for this reason especially to b-
avoided by all right thinking women;
but prominently lis the tobacco user

and alcoholic liquors are as closely
ard harmoniousiy connected as are day
and night. The exceptions to this rule
are 30 rare that it may be considered
law, that no man cheu ing, smoking or
snufing tobacco but publicly or pri-
vately us,s alcoholic liquor in some
one or other Of its poisonous formulas.
This being so the reasons for women
avoiding all tohacco users increase in
an intensely vital ratio. That alco-
hoi and alcoholic liquors, whiskey,
rum, brandy, champagne, wine, beer,
ale, cider, ETC., are detrimental to the
welfar. and happiness of the individ.

No right thinking person will deny,

Of widespread sickness, sin, suffering

If man is the son of a parent or
parents, who have been moderate or

you can with certainty predict that the

in their footsteps. Poverty, sickness.
rags, misery, premature death, follow
closely on the wake of users of tobacco,
and moderate or immoderate users of
alcoholic liquors and therefore, O!
woman, beguided by these facts, etch
ings from the records of ages, and shun
the users of tobacco and wine, and let
your decison be, freedom from tobacco
and alcoholic liquors, or no husbands.
As already mentioned, there is allied

Ma, Oh no; Woman! Is this just!
Is this righteous'
