Young men, flee from the use of
cigarettes, cigars, and all forms of to-
bacco. More poison than most peo-
pie know, is contained therein. Many
lives have been shortened by it's use,
some beginning in their early years,
destroying nerves, blood. and diges-
tive organs. Others have acquired a
taste for strong drink through the
tobacco habit and gone down, down
to drunkard's grave. Think, too.
what a nasty habit it really is. How
low to deile ones mouth with such
vile-smelling stuf-when you have
only one,-the one by which you re-
ceive nourishment for your body and
the one God intended should give
praises unto Him for all the blessings
OF life. Notice, too, the surroundings
of tobacco user. The room is SCENT
ed with tobacco, the clothing and fur
niture smell tobacco, and the air is
loaded with the bad-smelling odor.
1t is claimed by opticians that tobac-
co is the greatest cause of poor eye
sight among the men. 1t is not only
the effect of the smoke upon the eyes
but the effect of the poison upon the
whole system causing the eyes to suf-
fer as we'll. Although tobacco-users
generally admit that it is foolish
and injurious habit, it is no easy task
to persuade them to give it up as they
are no longer free men, but slaves to
the filthy habit. DR.. Liars, OF Edin-
burgh, enumerates the following as
some of the constitutional effects
resulting from the use of tobacco:
giddiness, vomiting, dyspepsia, vita
ted taste OF the mouth, diseased liver,
congestion of the brain, apoplexy,
palsy, mania, loss of memory, aman-
rosis, deafness, nervousness and cow
ardice.
Three Chicago bakers recently in
obliged in whisky drinking contest,
which resulted in the immediate death
of one of the men, while the other two
were severely poisoned and narrowly
escaped death. This interesting &C.
curence took place in a licensed sa-
loon. A bartender was busy supply
ing the liquor, and there was a stake
holder, and marker to keep the score.
A dozen abandoned brutes stood round
and coolly made bets on the result,
dragging the contestants into small
room as soon as they were poisoned
into insensibility. History informs US
of many brutaliziug institutions that
aourished during the dark ages. In
reading of these, We wonder that they
could have existed, even in barbaric
days. Men in future ages will look
back with equal wonder at the strange
tolerance accorded by the people of
our times, to that me.breeding and
wholly indefensible institution, the
modern saloon.
1t should be remembered that the
closing of few saloons does not neces-
sari]y mean a decrease in the amount
of liquor sold. It usually makes busi-
ness better for the saloons that re-
main. determination of the dramshop
is good: determination of the traffic is
better.-Union Signal.
There are four strong forces forti-
flying the liquor. traffic: The appetite
in front of the saloon, the greed in
side of the saloon, the capital back of
the saloon and the law surrounding
the saloon. It has been said by Jessie
Ackerman,> round-the-world W. c. T.
o. missionary. that the people most in
need of missionary effort are the law
makers of America and England, as
the greatest work to be done to-day lie
to outlaw the liquor trade in America
and stop the opium traffic in England.
Louis c. Hughes, ex-governor of Ari-
IONA says: 1.-THE traffic should be de-
stroyed and as first step the govern
ment, both national and state, should
dissolve its partnership in the business
and cast it adrift, without protection.
Then outlaw it as q public enemy, the
legitimate prey for destruction
