Last Tuesday afternoon the mem
bers of the w. G. T. u. met at the
Methodist chapel. The program was
carried out as published in our last
issue. An interesting letter was read
from Brayton E. Smith, dealing on the

for sweets, and that tobacco is left
untouched in many instances. Again

into France is big temptation to
many, and those who have never
smoked before, are doing so now. At
