Readers Discuss Social Effects
OF Alcohol and Tobacco Habits.


To the Editor of The Star;
have been interested in many phases
OF human welfare for many years and,
of course, read the letter on the liquor
question by DR.. j. Raymond Schmidt,
printed In The Star of September 10. with
considerable interest. I also was inter-
ested to read DR.. ]. A. Gannons position
upon the subject of alcohol and tobacco,
appearing in the same issue.
In our religious views, and our medi-
cal and other views, we all are products
of our education and association. 1t
seems to me that the whole question
resolves itself into whether these habits
are wholesome or unwholesome for our
bodies.
have DR. w. Sinclair Bowen to thank
for recommending small book en-
titled "Tobaccoisn," by Dr. J. H. Kellogg
of Battle Creek, Mich. I do hope DR..
Cannon will read it and then see if his
ideas on that subject will not go into
reverse
In the tobacco or in its smoke, there
are several deadly poisons-nicotine
hardly think these are Gods gifts to
man" to put into his lungs. There is
hardly anything more irritating to the
throat membrane than tobacco smoke
I think it is of great Importance for
our growing children to learn the facts
regarding the harmful effects of the al
cohol and tobacco habits.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is pleasing to note that The Star is
| letters for and against DR.. Gannon's
stand on the effects of alcohol and
| cigarettes on the human system.
Although millions are spent for ad-
vertising whisky and cigarettes, no
one claim is made by the manufacturers
that their products will produce q
healthier race or long life.
Dr. Cannon states that people live
longer than they did so years ago, but
the draft boards have not found them a!
healthy.
What do high school boys and girl;
know about the effects of alcohol ano
cigarettes? They never have seen tn,
thousands of human wrecks In a biz
city after dark.
} If on any cold night In a big city they
watched the thousands of homeless seek
ing shelter, they could see that alcoho
and cigarettes never elevate mankind
