members of the Artistic League, do
condemn silos and ensilage as food
constituent for cattle. We aim to pro-
tect the cattle, and prevent them
from becoming addicted to the alco-
hOlic evil.
THE ANTI TOBACCO MOVEMENT.
BE it known, that we, the men,
bers of the Anti-Tobacco League, do
solemnly agree to do all we can, in
the campaign against the filthy
weed, known as tobacco. Our League
Chemist has analysed tobacco and re-
ports to US, that this filthy weed
contains a very injurious poison,
known as (Nicotine), which is very
injurious to the human mind and
body, 1t causes men to rob banks,
holds up trains, disrespect law and
order. It also is the cause for gam
bling, insanity, illiteracy, desire for
alcoholic beverages, and many other
evils that do not harmonic with
total abstainers. Demon alcohol is
listed with the dead, and we, the
members of this League, are fully
convinced that tobacco is the cause
of the aforementioned evils. For
example, we will take the American
Indian. He used tobacco long be-
fore the white man put foot on
American soil. By the continued
use of this poisonous weed, the great
American Indian has nearly become
extinct. We, the members of this
League, will work constantly, fever
ishly, intelligently, and conscious OF
only one thought to eliminate this ter
rible weed. We, the members of this
League, do recommend the following
| substitutes for tobacco chewers, as
follows: Licorice root, slippery elm
chewing gum, tar gum, cherry gum
paraffine gum, and rag weed (dried.
For the smokers we recommend the
following: Corn silk, (dried), null.
Ten, dried alfalfa leaves, dried onion
leaves, and good grade of dried
lcabbage leaves. The present gene-'
alton may not smoke here, but they
are sure to smoke hereafter.
