A writer who il driving cigar-smoking
on of this land says: MEN do not need
tobacco. Look at woman! Without
speaking a word she in her own life
proves that smoking is unnecessary,
that people can live well and happily
without it. Lock at women and throw
away your cigar forever" Now, that
is ths trouble with some good people,
say Bob Burdette. They always over
do thor arguments, Tell me, does the
average American woman owe her
health to abstinence from smoking? If
81 does, then, in heavens name,
Il her buy pipe and
7 uud Of tobacco and learn to smoke.
I1y chargein the health of American
' men, it seems to me, would be for
T. better. Do the women Of America
{ joy better health than the men? 1t
ms To nae the ant-smoker was un-
r'unate in his selection of an example.
- the men fade out at 80, and do they
Iok old at 40, and fizzle clear away at
3 !? Go 10. Give us better arguments
irst the cigar than this, or the wood
e. Iciian will continue to do rushing
business atthe old stand.
