LAKELAND MAN BELIEVES
CIGARETTES SHOULD NOT BE
SENT TO THE SOLDIERS


kind-hearted women who are col
Letting money from everyone they
can to contribute to the purchase of
cigarettes to be sent to the soldiers.
Half of the newspapers of the
country and thousands of dear
mothers join hands in helping the
American tobacco trust to conduct a
sampling campaign to fairly smother
the American army with tobacco
smoke.
Think of the silly reasons for send
ing the soldier cigarettes!
"Soothe the poor suffering soldier
in the trenches"
This is the pathetic wall of the to-
hacco trust, one of the most useless
destructive business organizations in
existence.
There are no American soldiers
suffering in the trenches.
If there were, the air of the
trenches is bad enough without be.
ing contaminated with tobacco
smoke.
But suppose we had soldiers in the
trenches, do you suppose they need
soothing? Not by the cigarette.
The soldier needs good fresh air
and warmth, full possession of his
faculties.
Give him the deadly cigarette and
he loses his possession of his facul-
ties and command of his maximum
efficiency.
10 soothe him is to unfit him for
his task, to undo the work accom-.
plished by his long and scientifi,
training.
The soldier, we say is the surgeon:
the enemy, the subject.
The more the enemy is soothed
the easier he is conquered, SO do NOT
stupefy the soldier, the war surgeon
Many cigarette smokers will tell
you that they do not really smoke
for the positive pleasure, but because
they are little nervous and it helps
them forget their troubles. ThinR
OF it!-a man that has to resort to
dirty little cigarette for relief.
If we make cigarette fiends out of
our soldiers the situation may be-
come SO serious that the command
ing officer may have to issue an or
der for all to smoke before an ac-
ton, SO that they can get ready to
shoot.
Smoking does the soldier no good;
it does him harm; it shortens his
lung capacity; he is miserable un-
less he smokes.
The nOn-smoker knows nothing
about these miseries; he has better
wind and better resistance against
disease, and is ready for an opera
tion in case of an accident.
The tobacco habit and everybody
that encourages this DEATH dealing
practice by growing, selling or dis
tributing the poisonous weed are
enemies of freedom, and of human
welfare.
Fathers, mothers, sisters. if you
wish to send your sons. brothers, or
your sweethearts who have gone in
response to the nations call, send
them almost anything except cigar,
cites or cigars.
For it is certainly an ally to Ger
many in the American trenches.
So now the way to show patriotism
is to help build strong men and help
show them the danger in the deadly
little cigarette.

Dear friends, there may be crooks

track operators, and others i'd omne
genus in Lakeland, and all over Flor
ida; but neither among such operators
nor among the foolish people who fall
for their games will you find any of
our. gentle, unsophisticated Crackers.
In ever case that has come to light
victims and victimizers are found to
be from the North, where they're up
to things. If honest tourist folks will
confine their transactions to dealings
with our simpleminded Floridians-
people whom they can see are estab-

severely as if they mix up with the
adventures from their own section,
who make Florida their winter stamp

MORE BEEF IN
RESTAURANTS
Steaks, Roasts and the Like May Now
be Served Every Day in the
Week at One Meal In
Each Day.

Beefsteak and roast beef every day
in the week instead Of only four days
per week, but still only one meal OF
each day, is the new order for no
tells and restaurants issued by the
Iowa state food administration. The
following Is the text OF the order re.
ceived by ]. F.. Elder, Lee county food
administrator:
Beef, including boiled beef, roasts,
steaks, hamburger steaks, etc, may
be served from II a. m. to 5 D. N. any
day except Saturday. Beef as describ-
ed above may be served on Saturdays
between p. m. and midnight.
It Is the wish Of the food admins
tration that the by-products, which can
be served at any time, be used as
much as possible. The by-products
are heads, tongues, tails, livers, hearts,
tripe, feet, barreled beef, ported beef,
beef loaf, chilli con carne, beef trim
mings. The beef trimmings are often
made into sausages, bologna and
frankfurters which need not be con-
served.
Fresh pork, bacon, hams, sausages,
mutton and lamb may be subs tituted
for beef.
Ice cream cones may now be serv-
ed at any time; this removes the re-
striction in force for over a month.

than gain by the use of slang.
'The calling OF minister is high
