SMOKE is A BLESSING"

blessing to the world. and boon to
health, according to statement by
w. P. Rend, coal magnate, in reply
to an address by Secretary E. R.
Pritchard OF the Board of Health,
declaring it nuisance.
1This talk about smoke being a
curse is all nonsense" Mr.. Rend de-
clares. The creator who made coal
knew that there would be smoke and
knew that smoke would be a good
thing for the world.
Take the coal operator who is at
all times breathing not only smoke
but coal dust in addition. His lungs
are black with both, and yet he is one
of the healthiest men in the world.
In all my experience among coal op-
orators | know of only one who died
Of tuberculosis.
THE carbon in th esmoke is a boon
to health. As the smoke ascends the
carbon in it kills the germs Of every
kind Of disease and purifes the air
and yet this is what the new class Of
reformers would do away with"
