Liuht and Dark CHAR.

A striking example of the ordinary
smokers ignorance on the subject of
smokes Is the popular superstition that
dark looking cigar is stronger than a
lighter colored one Some strong cigars
have dark wrappers. but the dark
wrapper does not by any means lndi-
cate strong cigar Dark. gummy to-
baccO. II thoroughly cured. is the mild

but SO viii light tobacco. for that mat
ter Any cigar man will bet you that
the dark color Is usually. though not
always, a sign of a ripe. well cured
leaf, which is therefore milder nine
times out of ten than the lighter hued
leaf. But when 1t is known that every
manufacturer makes both dark and
light cigars and that he uses exactly
the same blend of filler In both and
that the wrapper only constitutes a
small fractional part of the cigar It Is
clearly seen that the shade Of the
wrapper has little to do with the
strength of the cigar. Ask the dealer
for strong cigar. He hands out a
dark one. and the imagination does
the rest.-Harper's Weekly.

In a recent editorial question was
raised in regard TO yegetarians secur-
Ing legislation on the ground that
meat was injurious as food and
should be prohibited. No vegetar-
han ever dreams of such law but
some of the flesh eaters have In
spectors appointed to see that only
healthy meat is used. Now is not
this an invasion against personal lib.

does not want to lose the money he
has invested, and II a man wants

man does not know enough to let
liquor alone 1t Is his own lookout.
II you are not your brothers keeper
In regard to what he drinks, why
bother yourself about what he eats.
II man after eating steak goes
out into the street and shoots a man
or disobeys the laws OF the land, be-
cause the steak affected his brain, II
will be time to legislate against the
use of meat as a food, But this has
never happened yet, so there will
be no danger OF law against meat.
The law against drink should be
enforced because personal liberty
reaches only to the line where my
neighbor's personal liberty begins;
and beyond this l may not so.
Why have a law against opium
Joints? One addicted to the use OF
this drug Injuries himself more than
