Curses TO the Young.

1t is next 10 impossible 10 pass to-
bacco store in these days without being
pushed and jolted by the crowd of
young men and boys who are staring
through its windows at the vile photo
graphs which are given away with Gig
arettes. The manufacturers no longer
advertise their cigarettes. but think it
sufficient to extol the p ctures winch
they offer as premiums. We do not see
how any sclfrespecting man would ac-
cept such pictures or encourage the men
who circulate them by buying their
wares. They should be treated as was

never bought OF copy of that paper for
fear he would die and it would he found
upon him. But it is not men who pur-
chase cigarettes; it is boys. and for them
these pictures are prepared. They are
for the most part photographs Of variety
actresses in all kinds of scanty costumes
and suggestive attitudes. They have no
ella ms to artistic beauty, classic merit,
or superior finish; the only marked fea-
tnre is their nastiness. If a Snowman
were to attempt to paste up IN public
bills with figures on them like those OF
the tiny cigarette photographs. he
would find himself stopped bv the au-
thorities. 1t would be regarded rs an
outrage on public decency. But as yet
no one has publicly objected TO the Gig
arctic pictures. And they are insidious
because they 60 to nearly every grow
ing lad. He can have his pockets filled
withe them if he wishes. and so he will
lose his moral sensibility and sense OF
propriety. Such pictures cannot help
giving n strain of coarseness to the mind
of the young. Then, they have to be
kept surreptitiously and so they make
a sneak out of the boy who has them.
He will hide them from the home circle
conscious of their v,leness and the
knowledge of his secret will not tend
to make him an upright or manly
youth.
Cigarretts are a curse to the young
and now that they have been saddlod
with vile pictures they are more so than
ever. The hitter evil should certainly
be prohibited. -C Cincinnati Times.

To waggle in her furs.
