When one thinks 01 the nam- ;.|wr of boys who have been killed and in jured by it, one is astonished that any parent will allow it to be used. It ought to be suppressed by law. And what should be the fate of these bits of poison called cigarettes ? Are they to be offered for sale without hindrance when We know their tendency it to stunt man hood, and to poison the fountains of health? Would we might see these vile things swept from the land, even if law has to be brought to bear upon them. Young men have you been enticed into the use of cigarettes? Do you know bow the are made? I will tell yon. Old, cast-away cigar stumps are used in their manufacture. Boys are employ ed to gather them from hotels, bar- roomR, sidewalks, or wherever they are -thrown. Collector* buy them and send theua to the manufactories by the barrel. No matter how. disgusting the spot whence they are picked--whether from spittoon with its dangerous saliva, or the gutter with its filth--the foul refuse finds its way into the mouth and nostrils of the cigarette smoker. But even this is not the worst of it. iThese cigar stumps have been in the inouths of all sorts of men--drunkards, fast young men, rotten old roues, whose irely kiss or touch, or even the pencil they have held in their mouths, might communicate the foulest and most fear- fctf disease that comes to a human bang. lSKfering this can you ever put a cigar ette in yoirmouth again ? -!?.?* £5<rh M i 1 "irssc* T-T": if V 'zmm \ > . , IF YOU ARE IN NECO OF ."V tors PS mtm HATS AND CAPS, 5 " W4* A $ ' Start in by giving you an all solid plow shoe throughout for $1.
