, These so-called experts, and investigators who periodically-warn the race that it will be exterminated if the people do not reform their habits and abandon certain alleged vices will continue as long as the world lasts, 1 presume, to have a number of followers. They are busy just now waging a campaign against the use of cigarettes by the soldiers. It is true that our boys are smoking more than they ever did.
