been a pronounced decrease in the sale
of paperrolled cigarettes in the last
three years leads the journal quoted to
conclude that IAN equivalent of at
least 100000 smokers have ceased to

more than 235,000,000 cigarettes were

The growing tendency to look upon
marriage as temporary bond which
can be thrown of or assumed at viii is
the logical result Of loose divorce laws
and the increasing tendecy to initiate
the customs Of the fast sets abroad. 1t
Is high time for persons OF all classes
to protest against the general laxlty Of
morals that is seen to exist in present
day society. Public sentiment is on the
right side, and 1t Is important that the
old traditions which once guarded the
American home should be revived.

Women Whom the Country Reveres,

In her widowhood the beloved wife

only of the public generally, but in par
ticular of three other ladies who have
presided over the White House and who
have since been bereft Of the noble hus-

whom they were a source of joy and
comfort The eldest of these is Mrs.
Ulysses $. Grant. Julia Dent had mar
