ZION, THE PIONEER CITY IN
PROHIBITING TOBACCO

A recent issue of the Not 0bdcc0 Journal
says:
"Now is the time to begin a specially Or
ganized fight against Tobacco. Delay will
lose many advantages that are now avail
able
"The departure of the Liquor traffic
leaves Tobacco as the most conspicuous evil
generally practiced by the people The ex-
perience gained in the fight against Liquor
is fresh in the minds of the people Many
who have been prominent in the fight against
Liquor, are now ready with their expert
enced service to fight Tobacco"
In the same issue of this Journal we find
the following article, headed, MANY Zion
Cities
can acquaintance of the Editor writes
from Zion City, Ill., and says:
4 wish you could have been in this town
last evening. Town full of people. Crowds
of young men. I walked about among them
looked into the business places restaurants
barber shops, ETC., and not smoker to be
seen. I talked with policeman. Said he,
eff [ see a man smoking, I'll lock him UP
quickly" This is city of 5000 people and
almost entirely free from such vices
"Our towns and cities that have been
dry for some years are now almost entirely
free from drunkenness and liquor is not
missed and the business places the saloons
occupied are filled with useful businesses.
MAY the time soon come when every
city in this country will be as free from
Tobacco as Zion City Tobacco is not one
whit more needed than liquor Both are
vices without a single virtue"
On another page of the same issue we
find this article, entitled, "a No-Tobacco
City,"
"LaVerne, CAL, bids fair to become No
Tobacco city and be the first outside Zion
City, Ill., to prohibit tobacco
''LaVerne is a college town of l 200 peo-
pie. The moral tone is high. Our Calf
ornia superintendent has been looking for
town with sufficient moral courage and
sentiment to drive tobacco from it's cor
porate limits, and it appears that he has
found it in this fine little city. In that state
such can be done either by the city council
or by referendum vote.
Con October q, Prof. Tough addressed
their college faculty and student body and
at the close of the address the following
resolution was adopted without a dissenting
vote
Whereas experience and investigation
demonstrate the fact that the traffic in To
bacco is fundamentally wrong, be it re-
solved by the faculty and student body of
LaVerne College, LaVerne, Cal, that legal
steps be taken at once to prohibit the giving
away or selling of tobacco in any form
within the corporate limits of the city of
LaVerne'
"This was introduced by DR.. Hoover and
Dr. Miller, President and Vice President of
the College. The matter will be taken be-
fore the City Council of which majority
are favorable"

WOOD ALCOHOL CAUSES MANY
DEATHS

Homemade whisky tinctured with wood
alcohol has been the cause of 112 deaths re-
ported to date, since Christmas, in various
parts of the country, besides many persons
being rendered blind. Thirty-six of these
deaths occurred in Chicopee, Massarhu-
sets, Is in Hartford, Connecticut, II in
New York City, 10 in Chicago and 10 in
Holyoke, Massachusetts,
Although wood alcohol is one of the
most dangerous poisons known to science
it has been drunk, in diluted form, by thous-
ands of people in the last few months, since
the stringent prohibition laws went into
effect.

American consumers, have said repeatedly
and publicly:
The shortage here is not caused by
huge exports, but by vastly increased con
sumption of sugar in the United States
The figures obtained by The Herald
and Examiner show there has been an
actual decrease in American consumption
in the five-year period covered by the Bur-
eau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
the figures being 80 pounds per capita con
sumption in 1914 and 81 pounds per capita
consumption in 1912

MORE ABOUT DEFUCCI0.
JEWELRY ROBBER

For the first time in the history of
the city, the city of Memphis yester-
day filed a bill in chancery court in
which it is asked that the court take
into its custody about $4,000 in lew
elry and Liberty bonds, alleged to
have been stolen, states the CONNER
cial Appeal Of October Is. The Gus
tom has been for the police depart
ment to hold money and goods recov-
cred for distribution to the rightful
owners.
The defendants in the case are M.
Lippan, Frank DeFuccio, G.. B. Stew
enson, ]. Kahn, Joseph Perel and viii
liam F. Lowenstein. of the firm OF
Perel & Lowenstein; j. H. Cochran,
Jacob H. Medikow, of J. III. Medikow
& Co., Mr.. Baler, Of the Baler Jewelry
Company, j. s. Ruffin, Mrs. Gilbert
Carson and Annie Mae WiIlinghan.
The city alleges that on July 8,
1920. DeFuccio was arrested by the
police on a charge of larceny and OBJ
tanning goods by false pretenses and
that in October he pleaded guilty to
the charge in first criminal court and
was sentenced to serve three months
in the work house.
The bill relates that the police de-
partment was informed that the Jew
els alleged to have been stolen by
DeFuccio had been pawned by him
with M. Lippah and were recovered
by the police and held, the depart
ment suspecting that the property
lad been taken by DeFuccio.
The property consisted OF numer-
GUS valuable rings, one ring alone
having been valued at $1,000, dia-
monds and one Liberty bond. The
other defendants whose names are set
out in the bill are claimants to the
property.
The petitioner asks the court to
take possession Of the property and
also to restrain the owners thereof
from instituting legal proceedings
against the city for same.
AT the time of the arrest of De-
Fuccio the sum Of $247.53 was held
by John B. Turner, secretary to the
commissioner of fire and police, along
with the jewels. The money was sup
posed to be DeFucco's.
When DeFuccio's trial came on to
be heard Judge Richards issued a
deces tecum for Turner.

which he did. The money was
turned over Ia the coiIrt
