CLEANINGS IN BEE CUJ/n'RI': 



cu;.\ri-;tt)-:-sm()kin('.. 

 A lady whose husbaml keejis a ilnij^store in 

 Dayton, O., very innocently remarked recently 

 that the cii^arette bnsiness was a ijjood bnsiness, 

 because, wlien a man once connnences buyinj^ 

 tliem, he Ht"'t'/\<;rTrs it up. One of the com- 

 pany sui^^ijested that the tax must make it dif- 

 ficult unless they had a jiretty <,rood trade; l)ut 

 she said it took only a little while to make 

 enouL,di to pay the tax. Then somebody re- 

 marked that prices had been jjreatly advanced; 

 but she replied again that tliat made no dif- 

 ference ; for the person who commences using 

 cigarettes would keej) on using them even if 

 the prices were advanced from a nickel up to 

 a dime per package. No wonder the victim 

 never gives it up, for it is only the opium hab- 

 it under another name. We are making prog- 

 ress in our pure-food laws, especially here in 

 Ohio ; but what about letting druggi.sts and 

 others ]msh the opium business in the wav I 

 have indicated above, notwithstanding the 

 fact that our schoolchildren are being ruined, 

 body and soul, and our asNiums and infirma- 

 ries are being constantly recruited at an alarm- 

 ing rate by cigarettes?
