The anti-nicotine work that we have been carrying on is merely a part of the educational campaign that has been going on for the past forty-five years. There is absolutely nothing new about it. It ds entirely educational and is carried on in public and Sunday schools as an aid to child welfare and moral education. . "The W. C. T. U. is backing the an- ti-cigarette laws in the states and in- tends to go right on with its anti- liquor work in order that it may in- form the young people of the perils of it. In this way our future citizens will see that the prohibition laws are enforced and, if necessary, strength- resident 1al 1 ened. _ "The claim of the anti-prohibition- ists that we have thousands of copies of the pamphlet "Nicotine Next" stor- ed up is untrue," said Miss Gordon.
