Says Miss Lucy Page

Chicago. March 24.--The week
beginning April % has been desig
mated as national Anti Cigarette
Week" by the National Anti Gig :
arctic League. according to an an
nouncement made today by Miss
Lucy Page CASTOR. superintendent
of the league.
The announcement says that the
reason for selecting tins particular
week is because yesterday was Off
cially designated as Au-- cigarette
Day by the International Sunday
School Association. In her an
nouncement today, Miss Castor
says:
I'VE cannot hope that prohibit
ton of liquor will beSa success un-
Ill the cigarette is eliminated, be-
cause cigarette smoking creates a
craving only alcohol can Eatisfy.
Home brew and cigarettes are twin
evils, neither of which Is likely 10
be abolished successfully while the
other remains with us.
1.-THE National Anti Cigarette
League stands for the complete ex-
termination of the cigarette through
education, law enforcement and pro-
hibition legislation, but We are not
seeking to prohibit the sale or use
of tobacco in other forms except to
and by minors.
Alarmed at Fair Sex Smoking
The astounding increase in Gig
arctic smoking by women and girls
is cause for genuine alarm owing to
the fact that this habit strikes al
the fountain of life thereby imper-
Hing the virllity and strength CT
future generations.
The immeasuratle harm which
the cigarette is causing TO youth OF
America is now widely recognized
by parents, teachers and others in
terested in the welfare OF the ris-
ing generation. The community or
sanization plan of our Clean Life
Movement is proving to be just
what is needed not only to combat
the cigarette but other evils that
menace the health and morals oil
the youth of every community"
