Baden-Powell Decries Cigarettes.
Gen. Baden-Powell, writing to a

are still growing does them an in- \
finite amount of harm, and those who
! are sensible don't ti..ke up smoking
untH after they are 20 years of age
| or so. Fellows who smoke before
j that age generally turn out rotters
afterward. They only do it because
they think It looks swagger and manly
to smoke, but any man who has done
j any scouting or big-game hunting
knows that they are fools."
