TOBACCO ROBS

Tobacco robs the nation of approx imately two million dollars expended for tobacco alone, exclusive of the mil lions spent for pipes, holders, ash trays and other paraphernalia of the tobacco devotee Two billion dollars expended in building moderate priced houses would he a factor worth considering in the effort to Solve the housing prob lem now so acute.
 Tobacco rohs the nation of the use of approximately two million acres of its very best land which might other wise be used for growing food stuffs and thus help reduce the high cost of living
 Tobacco robS the nation of the labor of two hundred thousand persons ex elusive of the farmers who cultivate the weed. If any considerable portion of this labor could be diverted into real ly helpful ehanels it would aid in some degree to solve the scarcity of labor" problem.
 Tobacco robs families of food and other necessities. The cigarette fiend will steal money from his mothers purse, rob his fathers till or pawn books from the family library in order to secure cigarettes. The tobacco sot will buy tobacco to feed his degraded appetite while the bread bin is depict ed, the sugar bowl empty, the milk sup ply inadequate, the cookie jar desolate and the children suffer for sweets.
 Tobacco robs the nation of the Do tential value of the boy whose physical and mental being is injured by tobac co, usually in cigarette form. When the United States entered the world war, thousands of young men who en- listed for service were rejected because of 'bad heart action" or defective eye sight" caused in vast majority of cases, physicians said, by cigarettes.
