Be clean!
1t is dirty, filthy, vile habit. You are
chewing a deadly narcotic poison, and you
are smoking poison.
You will get amaurosis, and paralysis,
and cancer. You deserve it all, you dogs
The only trouble about it is that your
wives and families have to suffer for it.
Now you quit Do you hear? You quit
and quit quick, at once.
Gods command is, "Abstain from every
form of evilw
The next time you take smoke, may you
be sick for ever
May the next quid of tobacco taste like
soapsuds, or worse.
You dirty dogs!
You do not want your families to chew
and smoke
You dirty dogs! You do not pray that
prayer. You do not want your wives to
smoke. You do not want them to drink.
You do not want them to chew.
Why not? If it is good for you, you
gander, is it not good for the goose?
You do not often catch it like this. YOU
dirty dogs.
You sweat it out at night until your body
has sweat out the deadly poison of the
nicotine drug. You infect your wives with
that poison by inhalation and also by alb
sorption through the skin, until they are
poisoned literally to death with the dirty,
nasty, filthy odors and sweats which come
from your dirty, nicotinized and demoral-
lied body.
You do not know how your wives, who
once loved, now loathe you.
You promised to love them Is that low
ing them, to stink them out of their lives? !?
You promised to love them Is that low
ing them, to get drunk?
There is not real good Christian woman
in this house who is not on my side. Are
you not, women?
WOMEN eyes"
GENERAL OvERsEER: You hear that, YOU
dogs.
I am in earnest about this thing.
Lives are being made miserable by this
filthy nicotine habit.
You do not know how your wives are
disgusted with your filthiness You wonder
why your wife does not kiss you as she
used to when you kept your mouth clean
before you married her. Who would kiss
you now, you stinkpot?
Who wants to kiss your dirty mouth?
Your throat is like an open sepu1cher Ugh,
you dirty dog, how you stink!
No man has right to be walking nui-
sance like that
When you go out in the morning, do you
know what happens? Your wife goes to
the window, filings it up, and says, "Thank
God, the fellow is gone. We can have some
fresh air now" That is fact.
You have to repent Do you hear!

Repentance Means Giving Up Your
Disgusting Habits

1t means giving up your f1thiness, learn

and to your wives, making your homes sweet
and your lives happy.

War On Tobacco Devil

If you imagine that I will let up on the
tobacco devil, you are mistaken.
I am against the tobacco devil in every
form.
IF you think that I will give any other
name than stinkpot to you people that de-
stroy your health and stink your families by
chewing and smoking, you are mistaken.
You are stinkpots, and dirty devils at that
You have no right to stink
You have no right to stink your wife and
your family.
You have no right to abbreviate their
existence
I remember once, in the early part of my
ministry, that | was sent for to come to a
home in which baby lay dying.
When I entered the house, the broken
hearted father said, 20 Pastor, my baby is
dying"
I turned upon him and said, 'You dog !!
you miserable, dirty stinkpot! Give me
your piper
1t was in his mouth then.
I flung it into the open stove, and said,
Filing open the windows, and let out this
accursed stink. Give me the baby"
The baby was choking and was choking.
He could not live in that atmosphere.
I said, ''You are poisoning your baby to
death! Let in some fresh airw
The fresh air poured in and the baby re-
vived
There was nothing the matter with the
baby, except that he was being suffocated
with tobacco smoke.
That is the way that some of you dirty
dogs have killed your babies and stunk your
wives out of life
You have wasted your money shattered
your nerves, and sent down to posterity
amaurosis, paralysis, cancer, and all kinds
of dirty disease, because you would smoke.

Tobacco a Curse to Posterity

Two billion dollars are spent every year,
through which hundreds of thousands of
lives are ruined, posterity shattered in nerve,

Tobacco-Users Deserve Lash
I will never be entirely Peaceab1e on earth
until there is Universal Purity.
That is why have row with the Devil
all the time; because he is dirty Devil, and
wants to make things unclean
He always wants to smear and soil every
| thing and defle every one whom he can.
He is nasty and dirty and sinking him
self and succeeds in making nine-terths Of
the men in many places to be walking stink
pots.
Ugh! They are stinkpots
They go about chewing and spewing
nicotine.
Do that in Zion City, and you will find
that we have a1ockup and twenty-five Dol

A gentleman should be clean, and every
Christian should be a true gentleman.
He has no right to stink his wife out.
She never contracted to be stunk out.
Men poison their wives with tobacco
She is not only stunk out but let me tell
you that living in the same room with you,
and breathing your dirty breath, the nasty
filth of your cuspidors - it is not pleasant
to talk about, but we may just as well have
it out - and lying in the same bed with you,
your wives are being poisoned to death
You drink champagne and whisky and eat
and smoke tobacco.
Then you sweat out the alcohol and
nicotine.
! Nicotine could be scraped off your skin.
Your wives never contracted to live with
poisoner like that, you dirty dogs
You deserve the lash, and I would like to
give it to you, too.
You spend two thousand million dollars
year in liquor and tobacco, you wretches,
and yet you call yourselves Christians.

for God!

The Teaching of John
Alexander Dowie
on Tobacco
Smell Like Dirty Devils

There is such long list of what tobacco
does do, that it would be difficult to know
what tobacco does not do.
It creates paralysis, amaurosis.
1t creates diseases of the throat, and of
the stomach, and of the bowels
1t defles the blood and creates a condition
so favorable to cancer, that nicotine cancer
has become one of the most common forms
of disease, and men are dying from it in
thousands and tens of thousands doctors
concealing the fact and not daring to tell
the truth about it. They are usually stink
pots themselves.
Often times disease of the stomach is
written upon the certificate. What does that
mean? That does not disclose anything
What was that disease caused by? Caused
by nicotine poison in thousands and tens
and hundreds of thousands of cases.
On, IT is HORRIBLE WICKEDNEsS FOR
CHRISTIANS TO INDULGE IN SUCH A STINK
ING VICE AS sToBACCo-CHEWING OR SMOKING.
1t is a wicked thing, filthy thing, dis
gusting thing How can they expect God
to bless them when they are dehling their
bodies steadily with these filthy things?
Nothing is said about it in our churches.
Ministers are smoking, and deacons are
smoking, and their children are growing up
to smoke and now women are smoking.
In many cases it is the foundation for the
love of liquor, and
1t is Well Called Tobacco, it is Direct
Minister to Bacchus
to Bacchus the god of wine.
1t is the favorite incense at the altar of
Bacchus.
You will always find that it creates exact
ly the same kind of thirst that liquor does,
because it is brain poison of the same
order.
1t is a narcotic, and it creates the same
kind of thirst as is in the breast of man
who takes liquor.
You see that the liquor drinker is smok
er nineteen times out of twenty, and the
smoker is usually drinker.
I am so disgusted to think that people will
call themselves Christians and smoke to-
bacco. They may be Christians, God only
knows, but they smell like dirty devils.
1t is a filthy, disgusting, expensive, de-
moralizing, debasing, disease-breeding and
abominable habit and every Christian man
ought to be ashamed Of it.
(Leayes of Healing, Volume 3, Page 58.)
Squirting Disease Around! All! You
Unmitigated Stinkpots!!!
Every time I think of you, I feel like
whacking you, in great love.
All, you stinkpots!
I wonder you are not ashamed. A man
chewing tobacco and snufing it, and smok-
ing it. and going around and squirting out
his catarrh and all his disease and muck
everywhere!
Ugh, you stinkpots!
You call yourselves Christians! Chris
tians ought to keep the body holy for God,
and is that the way you keep it holy?
I tell you often, and it is true, you may
be Christians, but you smell like devils.

Cannot Be Clean Christians

Men who use tobacco cannot be clean
Christians.
I can smell them if they have not.
I would not believe that a man who smells
of tobacco has given up his sins.
Is not tobacco dehling thing?
If parson came to me and said, "I am a
Christian, Doctor" and smelt Of tobacco, I
would say, "You may be a Christian, but
the Devil. You stink"
I ask the ladies' When man chews and
smokes tobacco does he not stink, yes, or
no?
AUDIENCE: eyes"
GENERAL OvERsEER: You 60 about puff
ing your dirty smoke in every ones face

You think that you have right to do it
but you have not.
You are walking nuisance
You are a curse to your wife and chill
dren.
You SOW nicotine and you reap an1aur-
osis, paralysis, dyspepsia, and cancer.
You have no right to sow nicotine, and
reap these dirty diseases.

Nonsense!
We have thousands of people in Zion City
who have no doctor but God-no drug store,
and never taste the internal trash but we
have good water and good food and live

Beer is Milwaukee, forty-two miles north of
Zion City, and Babel is Chicago, forty-two
miles south.
"Can we not smoke in Zion City," some
one may ask.
No, sir. A smoke would cost you twenty
five dollars and nights lodging free.
I am glad that there is one spot on God
Almighty's earth that does not stink.
ooh, Doctor" I hear some say, "be very
gentle. There are many fine Christian peo-
pie that smoke"
Are there?

His wife may not dare to say it to him;
be compelled to submit to his Sinking habit;
but when he goes out of doors, they throw
up the windows and say, "Thank God, he
is gone! We will get some fresh air nowp
No man has right to lessen his life by
eight years-for that is the average-when
he has the responsibilities of husband and
father.
He has no right to lessen his life by the
use of nicotine, let alone the alcohol, swine's
flesh, or any other dirty thing.
Divine Healing is present day reality

You may say anything, you like about it,
but our people have been healed of almost
every disease that you could name.

YOU cannot do what you like and be a

Therefore my contention is that the first

COURT UPHOLDS
 LEVER ACT FOR PRICE CONTROL
Rules Cost of Replacement Of Goods Must Be Base of
 Profiteer Charge

PUEBLO, Colo, April 10.-Although clothing and shoe dealers and the three coal companies, for injunctions to restrain United States District At torney Harry B. Tedrow from present ing to the federal grand jury certain evidence he claimed to have Of alleg- ed profiteerinS, was granted by Rob- ert E. Lewis, judge of the district , court yesterday. the constitutionaity of the Lever food and fuel control act was upheld as also was the contention of some authorities that the United States technically still is s.t war with Germany.
 The petition of the merchants and the three coal companies was granted on the apparent effort on the part of the district attorney to charge that these companies were taking exorbi. tant profits on goods purchased some l time ago and which could not be re- placed at the same price. The court held that the purchase price of the goods some time ago should not be considered but that the replacement price is the only one on which to base charges of profiteering.
 A temporary injunction therefore was granted.
 However. after issuing the restrain Ii ing order, Judge Lewis called the mem ters of the grand jury into the court room and gave them their instruc. tions. He declaTed that they should investigate into alleged profiteering and should they find evidence of a merchant making an excessive profit on 8 piece of goods, the profit being based on the present wholesale value of the goods the court would be will ing to stretch a point and bring such profiteers to justice.

BOlsheviki Attack Allied Nations in
 Artistic Posters

THE HAGUE, April 10-The Bol sheviki are conducting a strong cam paign againstI America, England and France by the skillful use of huge propaganda posters in Moscow. says c. Nijpels, correspondent of the Am sterdam Handelsblad who visited So viet Russia this winter. He found much to admire from an artistic stand point in the designs of which he saw many in the railway stations.
 This poster campaign is certainly a very clever piece of work" he writes Both the educated and unlettered classes are struck by them, the first by the writing beneath, the second by the drawings themselves. The cam paign was directed along three great lines: First, to cultivate hatred, loath- ing and fear for such men as KClchak and Denikine; second, to breed hatred of the entente, especially against the 'capitalistic triumyirate,' France Eng land and America--never Japan, Italy the Poles or Czecho-SloYaks, but al ways this triumviratc, pictured as the burgeoise parasiting upon the prole tariat; and, third, to prevent desertion among the red soldiers.

 DINNER - Broiled codfish. baked mashed potatoes. Beat egg into po- sauce, lettuce with hard-poiled egg dressing, nut pudding, coffee.
 My Own Recipes
 In mixing a fruit salad, bear in mind that raisins and dates add both to taste and nourishment. A slice of pineapple, two chopped dates and two English walnuts served on hearts of lettuce with a good cooked salad dressing make a delicious and eco nomical salad. Large raisins arc a good substitute for the dates. Pour boiling water over raisins and let stand five minutes. Stone and drain.
