Some Plain Facts Regarding This Lit-
tle Destroyer of Young Mankind.
We hold no brief for the cigarette,
nor do we fail to recognize thp fact
that smoking by juveniles is an evil,
but the case for remedying the evil
is not helped by doubtful state-
ments.
Everybody knows that tobacco is a
poison, and the suggestion, therefore,
that tobacco is injurious because of
its impurity or adulteration or be-
cause poisons are added to it are
altogether beside the issue.
If the tobacco smoked were the
purest possible leaf the evil of smok-
ing by juveniles, in my opinion, would
not be a whit the less. If it were oth-
erwise, there would be no necessity
for suppressing such smoking so long
as the youth was supplied with pure
tobacco.
Since tobacco is itself a poison, we
need no further argument against in-
dulgence in it by the immature or its
abuse by the grown-up person.t We
can well believe that certain tobaccos
are more poisonous than others, but
we much doubt whether substances
more injurious than tobacco itsplf
are added to the manufactured leaf.
Flavorings and sweetening ' sub-
stances, such as liquorice, glucose and
glycerin, are often added, but these
are harmless compared with pure to-
bacco itself.
Statements have been freely made
that morphine, or even cocaine is add-
ed to cheap cigarettes in order to give
(hem immediate soothing qualities or
'to soften" the flavor of an otherwise
harsh-smoking tobacco. We cannot
accept such statements, applied, at
all events, to cigarettes retailed at
five, or even six a penny.
The tobacco in such cigarettes Is of
an inferior and inexpensive kind, we
admit, but wc* have not been able to
find the smallest trace of foreign poi-
sons in some very cheap cigarettes
which we purchased only recently and
submitted to careful analysis. We
doubt whether it would pay to add
such comparatively expensive poi-
sons. Opium is not cheap, nor is co-
caine.
Tobacco of common qualify is at
any rate infinitely cheaper.
The danger of smoking arises from
tobacco poisoning and it is as whole-
sale and unchecked poisoning of the
child with tobacco, chiefly in the form
of cigarette smoking, against which
the nation is asked to find a remedy.
On what lines such a remedy can be
made effectual we are not sure.
It is obvious (hat certain persons
exhibit a different susceptibility to
the poisonous action of tobacco even
In the same country.—London Lancet.

A Lesson In Etiquette.
One cigarette fiend has received nn
admonition as to the etiquette of the
nauseous little things that will prob-
ably last him his short and not very
useful life. With the usual indiffer-
ence of his class to the fitness of
things, he strolled aboard the battle-
ship Texas, cigarette In mouth, while
the crew was busily engaged In taking
on powder. Nobody noticed the Idiot
for some minutes until he fell under
the eagle eye of a detective attached
to the ship, who made a jump for him,
snatched away the cigarette, flung It
over 1 he side Into the water, and tak-
ing the vacant-eyed offender by the
collar, .yanked him up before Kxecu-
tlve Officer Wadhams, win sail! lieaps
to him that he will never fore t it
is a pity mat the executive officer
could not have had more cigarette
culprits to listen to his heated lecture.
A Grewsome Quip.
"Juggins is in a terrific state of
nervous alcoholism," said one unfeel-
ing friend.
"Yes," answered the other. "He al-
ways used to be shaking for the
drinks. Now he's drinking for the
shakes."—Washington Star.
For Soldiers on the March.
In the Swedish army soldiers on the
march have been ordered to refrain
from spirits. Oranges and tea have
been substituted by the authorities, j

superior to alcoholic drinks.
