"Is tobacco going to have its scalp
added to the belt of tho prohibitionist
beside that of the lamented but as
yet not altogether late alcohol f is
the question asked by Garret Smith
in an article in tho cunsnt Issue of
Leslie's Magazine."
The writer reaches the conclusion
that while, there has been increased
agitation and legislative activity on
the subject of tobacco following the
success of the " drive for prohibition
of liquor the efforts of reformers seek
ing to abolish tobacco have no general
support. This opinion Is based on the
results of the questionnaires on the
subject sent out to newspaper editors
of the country by the Press Service:
Company of New York City.
The questions asked were :
(1) Do you favor the enactment of.
laws prohibiting the personal use of
tobacco by adults? " j
; (2) In jyur Judgment does the gon-
ieral - sentiment of your community;
favor such legislation? J
(8) Is the- use of tobacco personal-;
It objectionable to you?
f No arguments accompanied the ques-l
,tlons and from their form it was im
possible for any editor to determine
the attitude of the questioners. ;
1 ' Out - of 12,618 editors questioned,'
7,847 replied according to the summary';
given. These editors, It ifi estimated,!
represent a combined circulation of
i21,870,Q46. Of tho 7,847 editors reply-;
Ing, 7,808, or 85 per cent, represent;
public sentiment In their communities,
opposed to anti-tobacco legislation,1
'Only 200 editors, or 8 per cent of

considerable sentiment favorable to
tobacco prohibition. There wero 174,
or 8 per cent, in doubt, while 20 failed

Concerning Courtesy.
Treating a customer, like a rich
uncle, so that you may extract his
coin, is not courtesy that's fore
Offering a seat' to the man who
enters your office is not courtesy
that's duty.-.
Listening- to the grumblings,
growlings and -groanings of a bore
without remonstrating is not courte
sy that's, '.forbearance.
Courtesy is doing that which
nothing under the sun makes you do
but human kindness. Courtesy
springs from the heart;, if the mind
prompts the action, there Is a rea
son; if there be a reason, it is not
courtesy." Courtesy is good will.
; .Only . the" generous man is "truly
courteous he gives freely, without
Bethought or receiving anything in
return. - .
Hard work acts unfavorably on
the body that Is bilious or consti

as a system cleanser and invlgorator.
It creates energy, good appeptite and
