EXTENSION OF PROHIBITION

Just at the time that the foreign
war popularlzed cigarette smoking
and just at time when women are
taking TO the lighter smokes comes
the warning that tobacco must be
classed with habit forming drugs and
liquor and that lis sale must be
prohibited.
The prohibition workers have told
US that the talk against tobacco
was coming from the anti.prohibition
element and was designed to break
down loyalty VI prohibltionists and to
destroy the fight against liquor.
Despite that assertion made by the
prohibitonists there are those who
are making a studied effort to begin
war against the tobacco vice. To.

proportion to it's true value there
was no necessity or reason for max
