Why? BecauBeDr. Rush says: 'iSmok- ing, by rendering water insipid to the taste, disposes very much Jb& sti jiulus of ardent spirits; hence the practice of Bmoking throughout our, country has been followed by the nse of brandy and water as a summer drink." Why? Because Dr. McAllister says: "When public attention, shall be fully awakened to this subject, innumerable instances will be found where drunken­ ness has followed as the legitimate con­ sequence of using tobacco." Why? Because Dr. Qunn, in his Amer­ ican Medicine says: "My candid opinion is that the use of tobacco is the greatest obstacle existing to the progress of tem­ perance, and never will this cause tri­ umph; never will alcoholic drinks cease ! ! to t>3 used as a beverage until tobacco oeases to be used as a luxury." For these reasons, if for no other, tem­ perance people must give much attention to the work against tobaooo. Just now our strongest blows are aimed at the cigarette ion, two reasons: The cigarette contains tobaoco and other drugs, and , it is used by young people. < . g The hopelof this country is in the chil­ dren, We may legislate, we may per­ suade and plead with older people, but, i0: until we grow a generation of clean boys - and girls, we. cannot have a nation of clean men and women. Besides leading to intemperance the cigarette dulls the brain and blunts the intellect, making the smoker stupid. It has an alarming effect upon the system of growing boys.

IIVERBAL PROVIDER, v ORIGINATOR OF LOW PRICES LET'S TALK IT OVER. Thera are Two or Three Ways to do Business, ONE--THE WORST WAY--ris to have mercurial prices which slide up and down the tube of the business thcrmomctoi accord­ ing to the gullibility of the different customers. That's the old way, but still largely in use. ) A SECOND WAY is to sell a big article at a big price and throw in a lot of cheap little things--That's the expensive way, for the customer. STILL ANOTHER WAY is to blow and blustei%tell of things in newspapers that are found entirely different in stoics That s the poorest way, for the store. | THERE IS STILL ANOTHER WAY (not largely practiced) to advertise things AS TIIEY ARE--TELL THE TRUTH, even if you have to call cotton by its right name. USE EVERYBODY ALIKE, have but one price, guarantee that price with a guaranty that means something, AND PAY BACK MONEY CHEERFULLY foi any that proves unsatisfactory--That's the best way foi the store AND customer.
