The Little White SLAYER.

The above caption is the striking and
appropriate title of an article in the
last issue of the Good Housekeeping
Magazine, by DIR. Harvey c. Wiley.
Every parent and everyone interested
in child welfare should read the article.
1.-The Little White Slaver' is the term
used by DIR. Wiley, Thos. a. Edison,
Henry Ford and other prominent men
of affairs, to the cigaret. The severe
Indictment of the smoking habit among
boys, by such men as these Is well
worth considering. These men are not
''old grannies" but are manly and sue
cessful men of affairs, whose example
and word ought to have great weight
with boys. Read what they have to
say. Parents should awaken to the
menace of this evil.
1t is deplorable fact that, notwith-
standing the possible teaching of the
schools and in spite of the state law
and city ordinance, the habit of smok-
ing seems to be on the increase among
the boys of Hays.
Prevention is better than cure. In
fact very few boys who begin the habit
are sble to quit. The Little White
SLAYER is well named, If parents,
business men and officers of the law
wiz cooperate with the schools in a
campaign against this evil, something
might be accomplished. A campaign
of Education and rigid enforcement
of the law, are the best means to be
used. The state law is as follows:
/ Section 673- 1t shall be unlawful for
any person, company or corporation to
/ sell or give any cigarettes or cigarette
/ papers or to have any cigarettes OF
cigarette papers in or about any store
or other place for free distribution or
sale. laws 1909, ch. 257r sec. II
Sec. GA. Every minor person who
shall smoke or use cigarettes, cigars or
tobacco in any form on any public road
street. alley, park or other lands used
for public purposes, or in any public
place of business, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall
be punished for each effense by a fine
of not more than ten dollars, an
person who shall furnish cigarettes, CT
gars or tobacco in any form to such 2
minor person, or who shall permit such
minor person to frequent any premises
owned, held or managed by him for the
purpose of indulging in the use of
cigarettes, cigars on tobeeco in any
form, shall be guilty of misdemeanor
and upon conviction shall be punished
by a fine of not less than $25 nor more
than $100. laws 1909, ch- PSI, sec. p
Sec. 675. Every person, company or
corporation violating any of the provi-
siops efsectiea1 of this aet shall be
deemed guilty of mis6etifesffof; and
on conviction shall be fined not less than
S25 nor more than S10O. Naws 1900,
ch. 258, sec. 3D.
The law is violated in Hays every day,
The use of tobacco and the habit of Law
breaking form a bad combination in
| the training of good citizenship.
