INORDINATE SMOKING HABIT

While Los Angeles is agated the liquor drink
ing habit, certain northern communities alarmed
the rapid spread of the smoking habit throughout
California San Francisco observer who travels much
in the state says:
mo matter where you go. from San Francisco to
Ssiyou you will find dozens of little cigar stores at
street in addition to the big establishments
There hundreds of these places where formerly
there DOZENS and it is thing these tobacco
dealers would not continue in business unless they
made living"
The extent of the smoking habit in Los Angeles is
subject Of universal remark the part of visitors The
spectacle of little cigar shops projected all along the
leading business horoughfares is something novel to
visitors from eastern cities How is it possible for the
owners of many such shops to earn a living? That
is the question in the strangers mind after noting the
extraordinary number of such places.
But the San Francisco remarks the little
tobacco shops do yield living. Nor any fault be
found with the of them the business is law
full and reputable The numbers of the shops and the
magnitude of their business expand in proportion to the
demand for the goods kept in stock So long as man
kind for liquors and tobacco just long will
the goods be obainabe.
The most Objectionable feature of the little tobacco
shops that in this city is the encement
they offer boys TO acquire the tobacco habit particu-
arly that of cigarette smoking. But liquor drnker
will have his grog regardless OF all obstacles SO boy
with the smoking propensity will get his "cofn nails"
