CRUSADE AGAINST TOBACCO.
With the elecfibm out of the
way and the public mind ready
of diversion and discussion,
Chancellor Day and other educa
tors have renewed their activity
in the organization of the Non
smokers’ Protective League of
America, the purpose of which is
to begin a campaign of educa
tion and agitation smoking in
public places.
Advocates of the relorm con
tend that the men who smoke in
public places do so because they
dare to and not because they
have any right to contaminate
the common air. The smokers
are in the minority, when men,
women and children are counted
and the non-smokers insist that
the habit is offensive to them
even if most of them are too lim
id to tell the smoker so.
Some of the most powerful
rulers of the world have tried
their hands in vain at suppress
ing th,e smoke nuisance, while
other great rulers have hailed the
weed as a blessing and encourag
ed its use. No habit ever spread
so rapidly as that of smoking.
Fifty years from the time Colum
bus saw the natives of San Sal
vador puffing their little pipes,
smoking was prevalent in Europe,
an English queen crediting to
bacco with magic wonders and
giving it superlative praise. Spain
necame a great producer of to
bacco and the .habit spread
throughout the civilized world.
King Jamet,, in 1619, began the
fight against tobacco, barring it
from his court and making an
effort to have smoking suppressed
in Britain, in 16- t. Pope Behan
VIII. issued a bull of excommun
ication against all wim look snull
in church. Ten years laler the
Czar of Russia forbade, his sub
jects lo smoke, under penally of
losing l.heir noses ami in the same
year llie Sultan of Turkey issued
a decree making smoking a fel
ony punishable by death. The au
thorities of Switzerland in 1691
passed a law prohibiting smok
ing, hut none of these crusades
ended in anything more substan
tial than smoke. The Non-smok
ers’ Protective League of Amer
ica Io.is a big job on ils bands.

Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we're right.
If y„u drink Leer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
