Cigarettes.

| Cigarettes.
Bernice Weymouth, Washington
School.
Tobacco was discovered in America
by Columbus. He introduced it into
Spain and Sir Walter Raleigh intro
duced it into England. In the early
days, in Europe and Asia, smoking
was prohibited as a crime, with a
heavy penalty, usually death in some
manner. Tobacco is used over a
larger. area and amongst a larger num-
Der OF people than any other similar
substance.
Tobacco contains gum, resin, matte,
citric acid. and inorganic matter. To-
bacco smoke contains watery vapor,
carbon, ammonia, carbonic acid and
OIL OF tobacco which contains nico-
tine.
Tobacco effects the stomach, the
organs of the senses, the brain,
nerves, mucous members of the mouth
and the bronchial surface of the lungs,
smoking often causes cancer of the
mouth.
A cigarette contains about two
hfths OF grain of nicotine. One
seventh grain of nicotine taken alone

cigarettes are worse than either a
pipe or cigar. Because of the paper
in which they are rolled. This paper
is treated with several chemicals
morphine being one. Different fac,
tories use different drugs which makes
the victim acquire taste for the Gig
arettes. 1t also leads people to start
the drug habit and to crave for strong
alcoholic drinks.
Andrew Carnegie, one of the
worlds richest men, says he can't af-

boys, and all other boys just earning
their living afford to use it? All of
the money spent for tobacco might
wisely be spent in getting an educa.
tion or other necessary things.
Hon. BENJAMIN B. Lindsay, Judge
OF the Juvenile court of Denver. Colo
RADIO, says. No pure minded, honest
manly, brave boy will smoke"
The cigarette habit is certinly not
agreeable to others. No decent self
respecting girl likes to be seen with
a boy that smokes. Tobacco odor
makes many people sick.
The main reason why manv bovs
never enter or finish High School is
because they have started to use to-
bacco. When thew have finished the
eighth grade they cannot learn easily
consequently they become discoura9'
ed and drop out of school. So we
know that cigarettes are verv iniur-
ous and should be fought in every |
possible manner.
