And oft our hasty words are stones:

But something bars away our aid.

Is. too big aud too heavy for
many men, but tho cigarette
is dainty and harmless. and IL it does
anything, IL steadies tho nerve for the

and most of all it makes him careful in
speech. Why the world never will know
how often war has been averted by the
cigarette. There is always a war of diplo-
mats before the open war of nations, and
that little roll of tobacco has again and
