The ladies of the w. c. I. u, call
attention in to-day's paper to the sec
ton OF the law prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes to minors. 1t has been told
them that this law is being repeatedly
violated. They do not want TO get
anybody In trouble; on the other hand
their work leads them to warn people
OF danger and trouble and when in to
get them out, hence the notice. II
will be observed that the penalty is
SIOO and cost of prosecution. The
ladies do not want anybody to pay
this; the Territory is not suffering for

will not be demanded and of course
not paid. We trust no more will be
sold to the little fellows and then they
will not have anything more to tell
