The announcement that Frank H. Hitchcock. former post

tobacco habit when contracted must pc

must bear her children for nine months;
during which time the undeVeloped
child is drugged by tobacco in the

appeal should be made to the women TO
refrain from the use of tobacco in the
name of their countrys welfare, no

their right and privilege to be.
Tobacco dealers throughout the coun-
try admit that the habit is spreading
among women to surprising degree.
Theaters, restaurants and clubs in al
most every city of the United States
are recognizing the fact in the estao-
| lishnent of smoking rooms for their
feminine patrons. A Chicago theater
manager recently declared that the
cigaret box in the ladies' smoking room

| Nor do the women, tobacco dealers
say, as a rule, smoke the scented and
damtily colored ladies' cgarets. In the
majority of cases they ask for, some
mild brand patronized by their broth
ers or friends. Sometimes the feminine
smoker even rolls her own, choosing
| the identical brand of tobacco used by
her masculine acquaintance.
Statistics tell us that in 1900 there
were manufactured and sold in America
a little more than two and one-hali
billion cigarets. In 1918, according tt
the Tobacco Leaf" the output in this
country was 49, 000 100000, and these
figures did not include the 'rol-your'

The increase in the number of ciga
rets consumed in this country in the
years between 1900 and 1918 was great

tobacco forces believe, was due largely
to the growth of the habit among
