BAHEFUL INFLUENCES
OF CIGARETTE SMOKING
Continued from page 1

TACT he price of opium absolutely

The first indication of degeneration
in the cigarette smoker is secretive.
ness. lie feels his weakness and so
seeks to present a bold front. Bluff
is his chief characteristic. He tries

dental utterances. He confuses times,
dates and places, and often will tell
you he has done a thing, when he on.
ly intends to do it.
Only The strong mentality is honest
Only the healthy intellect is capable
of the truth.
For the young man who becomes so
calloused that he smokes his cigaret-
ties in the presence of his mother. sis
ter or sweetheart, there is little hope.
Hope is only for the youth who is
ashamed of his lapses, but he needs
help, and we have help at hand for
him, in our present law passed in
1911, but fast becoming forgotten
from disuse.
We have the remedy to save our
young men, shall we use it, or sit
idly by and leave it all to our town
marshal? say NO-if we have to fill
our town Jail each night Let us
stamp out this evil, in the interest of
Gun young.
II is useless to make this appeal to
the cigarette and tobacco user himself.
He has a fixed belief that he is i'm.
mune, and that all men are mortal
but himself. His name Is Mr. Know,it-
all. He grins at mornings laughs at the
advice Of his best friend, and turns
your brothers appeal into joke. He
sets his foolish little will up against
the knowledge and experience of the
scientific and business world.
In conclusion, let us strip the ues-
ton of the cigarette habit of ali its
phases. including the loss of physical,
moral and mental health, and the al.
innate penalty of premature death,
and consider its direct influence up
on the power Of the average man in
the accumulation of the almighty
dollar" which, sad to relate. is the
most forcible incentive to many of us,
and we find just this-An unwrtten
law among the captains of industry,
in the commercial and industrial
world. DO not promote the cigarette
smoker, for the time will come when
you will surely rue the day that you
placed him in a position, where he
could plague you by doing those
things that he ought not to do, and
leaving undone those things he should
do. If you have them on your pay
roll, and they are doing good work,
do not discharge them, simply keep
them as long as they are doing good,
but when you find that they have be-
come care, gently lay them off and
say that you will send for them when
you need them, and then never send"
Now the question is Shall we give
our support to this law, or shall we
continue to "just wait"
