el to find what he spends a month. A dollar
and a quarter. How much will this come to in twelve months? Is that too
hard for you, I wonder? Fifteen dollars. Dear me, how quickly money runs
away! Surely no one ought to smoke cigarettes unless he has more money
than he knows what to do with.

REASON NUMBER FIVE is because smoking is an enslaving habit. By that I
mean it makes boys into slaves.

So here are five reasons why we should fight against it. Let us see how
many of them you can remember.

I hope that all you boys and girls will be as brave as Clovis, and now
that you see how much harm tobacco and alcohol are doing to your people,
you will get ready for the fight and will say, "Yes, you are strong and

QUESTIONS

1. Who were the people that were called Franks?
What does the name mean?

2. Who was Clovis? What kind of a boy king was he?

3. What country did the boy king with his Franks
want to conquer?

4. Who won the battle?

5. What kind of a battle can both girls and boys
fight?

6. Name some of these battles. (Disease, Dirt,
Tobacco, and Alcohol.)

7. What are the five reasons why all boys and
girls should fight the battle against Tobacco?

WHAT TEMPERANCE BRINGS

More of good than we can tell;
More to buy with, more to sell;
More of comfort, less of care;
More to eat and more to wear;
Happier homes and faces brighter;
All our burdens rendered lighter;
Conscience clean and minds much stronger;
Debts much shorter, purses longer;
Hopes that drive away all sorrow;
And something laid up for to-morrow.

A certain scholar wrote down the story of his reign and we have it

That is, the people rather feared him because he was
