other men enjojrina: national

DIFFICULT SITUATION
FOR THE YOUTHS
Consider the youth. If he is
able to smoke he is old enough to
tro to war.
Thi9 is the predicament that a
number of young men are in at
the uresent time. The drastic
anti-cigarette law, which went
into effet yesterday, pronibits
the sale of tobacto to any boy
ander 21 years of age, and pro
vides for the punishment of both
the seller and the buyer of th
weed.
A lot of boys under 21 years of
age smoke. If they falsely state
their age to be 21 years and buy
the dreamy weed, they are plac-
ng themselves liable to military
service. And many of them do
not want to do this. That is the
rub. Whether U smok and be
conscripted, or not to smoke and
remain at home is the burning
question. Albany Democrat.
