46 GOOD HEALTH 



men are fined or put in prison for spitting on the floor 

 of trains and stations and other public places. 



What I am going to tell you now is n't very important, 

 but it is interesting. There are tribes in Africa that eat 

 their enemies if they get a chance, but I have been told 

 that these cannibals do not like the flesh of a man who 

 has used tobacco. They say it has a dreadful taste. Per- 

 haps it tastes as his breath smells. It is not necessary for 

 us to know this, for there are no people in America who 

 eat human flesh. 



QUESTIONS 



1. What are some of the signs of a tobacco chewer? 



2. As the tobacco chewer grows older does he seem to grow more 

 tidy or more untidy in the way he uses tobacco ? 



3. How does a plug of tobacco look?
