May Cost a Life to Find Out

The heart of every user of tobacco
bears double burden. 1t does its al
lotted task and then fights nicotine
for supremacy. As long as the heart
wins he lives; when it loses he dies, but
before the final victory Of nicotine
you pass through many stages of de-
cline and decay and suffer many pangs
Hearts are like human beings--some
are stronger than others, therefore
some hearts will stand more tobacco
than others, but there is limit to
what any heart can stand. The man
who puts this additional strain on his

chance with health and life to lose
and nothing to win but the chance that

costly habit at the expense Of pre-

and he will tell you that using tobacco
is injurious and that it is far better tt

suffering than they can voluntarily en-
dure. TO quit the habit, make 1t easy

pleasure equal to its indulgence.
If you want to know how much ens-
