Next to alcohol, tobacco has had the most degrading effect on the physical, inteHectual, and moral development of the civilized peoples of the world. When tobacco was first introduced into Europe, it was opposed by many priests, sovereigns and learned men, and the practice of smoking was met with the severest opposition. Users of tobacco were tortured in Rus- sia. executed in Turkey, and fined and imprisoned in Switzer- land. James I, of England, issued a proclamation against its use, describing it as "a custom loathesome to the eye, hateful "to the nose, harmftil to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fumes thereof nearest resembling the horrible smoke of the pit that is bottomless." In individual cases the results of the use of tobacco are seldom striking enough to warn the casual observer, and for this reason it has become so widespread as to be almost universal. But this fact makes it even more dangerous to all those whom this apparent harmlessness deceives. In the ap- palling aggregate of evils resulting from its use, careful in- vestigatorssee a dangerous menace to the strength of our nation. The consumption of cigaréttes in Canada is increasing at the rate of one hundred million a year. - Mr. H. Sterling Pomeroy, A.M., M.D., writes; "The time for lazy optimism is passed: the time for scientific, self-sacrificing, energetic action has come." : The cigarette is the especial danger to the young boy. When this form of tobacco is smoked by them more of the poi- and it produces a more marked effect upon the neryes. When the boy first smokes a cigarette the sensations are decidedly distasteful, usually resulting in intense nausea. After being subjected a few times to the poisons of the tobacco smoke, the system be- comes accustomed to their influence, and in fact demands their soothing effect. Consequently the boy becomes a slave to a ecause his system is supplied with poison instead of food, it is so weakened that he-loses the mastery of himself. There are many physical injuries resulting from contin- ued smoking. It is well known that sleepiness, headache and lassitude follow the prolonged inhalation of tobacco fumes. It also produces yatiqus functional disturbances. It impairs di- gestion, injures the throat, upsets the regular beat of the heart, and weakens the nervous system. It may also harm From all these facts, we must agree with Dr. Richardson who says in his treatise on tobacco that the habit of smoking is most deleterious to the young, causing in them impairment of growth, prema- ture manhood, and physical Segradation. 4 : ~~ Cigarette smoking sometimes develops a derangement o the brain cells.

It is even an advantage to' 'hit the bottom" occasionally because by doing so we are jolted out of our rut and learn to think and act independently. Some people never see the necssity of joining a trades union or labor party un- til they have missed a few meals If the Government is to be for, of and by the people, the hand and brain workers of the country must receive that eco- nomic education which will en- able them to understand their political responsibility and use ithe ballot intelligently and thoughtfully. A government which enacts measures advocated by groups or minorities and "put over" the mass by an interested few can- not be called a Democracy. Sometimes such measures are entirely unknown to the people until they have become law and are then found to be very object- ionable. In times of comparative pros- perity it is a satisfaction for the worker to invest or save a little if he can.
