ings. Many times the life of the young
man is ruined in his mad search for something to meet the demands of
his physical nature and he goes down to the grave a physical, mental
and moral wreck!

"And now, with this thought before us, I want to speak for a few
minutes particularly about cigarettes. And in this, also, I want to
speak only to the girls. Will every girl please listen and do as I
ask? Now, then: I am going to ask you to take your paper and pencils,
if you have them, and copy the picture that I shall draw, and, if you
haven't them, carry the picture with you in your mind so that you may

"Here we go! Whenever you see one of your boy friends with a cigarette

"Let us remember that habit is the very foundation of our lives.
Everything that we do repeatedly becomes easier for us to do each
