The use of cigerettes is not merely the uSe of tobacco; it is a vice by itself. In reformatories where the cure of the opium, alcohol and cigarette habits is a business, cigarette patients are not re­ stricted from smoking cigars or pipes, which are regarded as comparatively harmless. The cigarette works a special evil of its own, which tobacco in other foims does not effect. This evil result may be due to drugs or to the paper wrappers, or to the fact that the smoke of cigarettes is almost always inhaled into the lungs, while cigar smoke is not. As to that, let the •xperts decide; about the fact of the effect there is no doubt and no dearth of evidence. No other form of tobacco eats into the will as cigarettes do. What th« Government Thinks. * It is announced from Washington that Postmaster General Bissell has deter­ mined that no liquor dealer should be appointed postmaster. In explanation of hie position he fiaye: "We have appointed men postmasters who permitted bars in their hotels, though not interested themselves, but wo prefer not. ' . It is nob a temperance nor a moral . question. It's a business'question pure­ ly, and the Post Office Department is a business institution. From mv obeerva* tion, investigation and experience, I am convinced that any man who is directly or indirectly interested in the liquor bus­ iness is, in a measure, unfitted by his oc­ cupation for postmaster, and that his interest in that business necessarily in­ terferes with a full and capable discharge of his official duties in any department oi the postal service-." i^WCWOOOi, iu- E LGIN, ILL UNIVERSAL PROVIDER, f ORIGINATOR OF LOW PRICES, ripahs umm We have some nice ones for $2.50 per barrel.
