A parent who wrote to an editor for informatiou as to how to stop his boy from smoking cigarettes received the following reply: We suggest briefly, persuasion, instruction and cutting off his allowance. Then, if ho remains obstinate, use a raw hide on his raw hide. Welt him until he is ready to hold up his hands and swear never to smoke another other cigarette. If that does not work, drown him. A drowned boy is better than one who smokes cigarettes.
