NO TOBACCO IS REFORM CRY OF EFFETE EAST

“Blow ths smoke away,” seems destined to become a serious cry within a few weeks. The forces organizing the nation-wide campaign for the abolition of tobacco and its uses are growing in strength and show no disposition to permit their campaign to lag. It has been announced that Frank •Hall, former head of the anti-saloon league in Indiana and now organizing secretary of the No-T<rt>acco league, is going to Syracuse, N. ¥., to establish national campaign headquarters. A declaration that the new move must not be considered lightly was made by Prof. F. W. Roman, of the department of economics of Syracuse university, the initiator of the anti-nicotine crusade. “The league,” he repeated, “will father a constitutional amendment prohibiting the use of tobacco. I have received hundreds of letters daily from hundreds of people interested in the no-tobacco campaign which we intend to carry put.”
