Although a few of us enjoy life. as well and save considerable good money by omitting tobacco from our menu, the overwhelming majority offer incense to the God of Nicotine. But to attack the W. C. T. U. or any other organization for attempting to curtail the use of this rather unnecessary and not universally worshipped vegetable, seems to me somewhat like shutting the doors and windows of a smoke-filled room while some one else is trying to ventilate...
