Yet such has really occurred. The
whole of the vast continent of Australia

at any rate of getting what he wanted.
1t is not desired to establish this as a
precedent of summoning help under in.

THE war against the cigarette is
mainly one in the interest of educa-
tion, the Chicago News says, the first
anti-cigarette league having been
formed in New York city about one
year ago and is now in successful oper-
alton in nearly every grammar school
in that city. From that point the
work of the league has spread until
there are now a5o. 900 young Americans
pledged against indulgence in the vice
of cigarette-smoking. The first step
is to bring the boys to see that the use
of the cigarette is vice, after which
1t is not difficult to get them to sign
the pledge.
