and the non-smokers insist that the
habit Is offensive to them even II
most Of them are too tlmid to tell the
smoker 80.
Some Of the most powerful rulers
OF the world have tried their hands
in vain at suppressing the smoke
nuisance, while other great rulers
have hailed the weed as a blessing,
and encouraged It's use. No habit
ever spread so rapidly as that Of
smoking. Fifty years from the time
Columbus saw the natives OF San Sal
vador putting their little pipes, smok-
ing was prevalent In Europe, an Eng
llsh queen creditlng tobacco with
magic wonders and giving 1t super
lative praise, Spain became a great
producer Of tobacco and the habit
spread throughout the civilized world.
King James, in 1919 began the fight
against tobacco, barring 1t from his
court and making an effort to have
smoking suppressed in Britain. In
1924 Pope Urban VIII, issued bull
of accommodation against all who
took snuff in church. Ten years later
the czar of Russia forbade his sub
jects to smoke under penalty Of los
ing their noses, and in the same year
the sultan Of Turkey issued a decree
smoking u felony punishable
by death The authorities Of Switz-
erand in 1891 passed q law prohibit
ing smoking, but none Of these cru
sades ended in anything more substan-
tial than smoke, The Non-Smokers

CHRISTMAS Is HERE.

TEIH old year 1912 Is about on his
last legs, but as his last and best
gift, he brings to us the glad
Christmas time
TO most OF us the year has been
kind. We may not have prospered
financially as much as we expected
and hoped, but to the great majority
there has been no suffering, no want.
Most Of us have been spared the loss
Of any near and dear to us-there has
been no break in the family circle,
no vacant chair at the table, no voice
stilled forever. Surely that alone Is
cause enough for profound thankful
ness, for heartfelt rejoicing.
Some have not been so fortunate.
Death has invaded the little home,
and taken away one well beloved.
Sickness has laid It's heavy hand on
those near and dear to some and the
Christmas morning so full Of gladness
to most, brings little joy to them,
TO other unrolenting poverty and
dire want have been the chief visitors
and the year has been a hard one.
To those who have been bereft, have
come close friends to share their sor-
row and mourn with them to Tighten
with tender sympathy the heavy blow.
il is so little, but It is all that friend
ship can do-and, therefore, is so
much. True, this will, in time, come
TO all of US, and out of our own good
fortune we can today give our need
Of sympathy to those less fortunate.
TO others whom Want has pressed
heavily we can give substantial aid,
and perhaps, have done SO, A little
lit along the line Of food supply q
tulle in the way of clothing, that Is
no longer needed by us, a dollar or
two, so little, perhaps to the glvcr, so
much to the recipients all go to make
Christmas day the great, ideal, Chris
tian day,
And so today The journal extends
its best wishes to all It's readers. It
wishes for them q year Of meXccllod
prosperity and Of content 80 that
