Contrary to the misrepresentations of the Association Against the Prohi- bition Amendment, the Eighteenth Amendment has many staunch friends in the business world. \ recent state ment in the Chicago Herald and Examiner, from the pen of B.

 "IS it not better for nation to spend. as was spent last year, nearly 5000 100000 for 2,500.000 automo- piles, most of them of low or medium price. than to spend $2,eo0 100000 in maintaining thousands upon thou sands of saloons?

THE BIGNESS OF THE LITTLE
 CIGARETTE
q. H. Dickason. ]

A cigarette is not very large. but it has brought to the mat many boy and young man. One cigarette has made a boy so sick he thought he would die and was afraid he wouldn't. Multiply that by 53,5S2 ,02S,9S2, the number manufactured in this country last year, and all the hospitals com bined would be of little avail to those who were afflicted. Let us translate these figures into everyday terms. and see what they mean. when placed end to end:
 One gigantic cigarette, 2,125,O00 miles long.
 Nine cigarettes reaching from the earth to the moon.
 S5 cigarettes reaching around the world at the equator.
 Seven hundred cigarettes reaching from New York to San Francisco. Seventeen hundred and seventy five cigarettes reaching across the United
 
 States from the Canadian to the Mexi- can boundary. Or
 Five hundred cigarettes for every man. woman, child and little baby in the entire country each year; three every two days. Twenty-Five hundred for every boy and girl enrolled in the public schools :; seven a day.
 Thirty thousand each for every one of Philadelphia 100000 population. | Or
 $500, 100000, which is $40 per year for each of the countrys 20000,00O families, and nearly SS for each in- habitant,
 The money spent for cigarettes is q trifie more than One-half of the com bined total annual expenditures of the thirteen leading denominations. in cluding the Catholic, in the entire United States last year, S450. .134144.
 Ii is S400000O0 more than all the teachers and supervisors in the public schools of the United States received as salaries last year. Or
 Just in matches to light the cigar cites. five cents box of five hundred, | it would cost S5.35S000
 Time lost, one minute 10 a cigarette, at fifty cents an hour, would amount to S430, 0,000,000
 Fires caused by careless users of cigars and cigarettes is estimated at $S5. 100000 annually. Or
 These cigarettes would cover one square acre of ground with a solid pile reaching up S54 feet.
 That would require train of 15,500 cars. each 30 feet long. net. 10 feet high and feet wide-in all a train more than ninety miles in length. to haul them from the manufacturer to the consumer. Or
 Enough poison if taken directly into the human system to kill every in- habitant of the United States in nine hours
 Enough to deaden the ambition. weaken the will, stunt the body, harm the mind, rob the pocket-book and close the door on many things worth while for every boy who makes friends with cigarette.
 Because we love him. we have it.
