Tobacco Is An Absolute Poison
Not too long ago the reports flowed

effects of tobacco. Items continue to

comedians have played heavily upon
it.
For most of us we probably thought
that the menace of tobacco is recent
knowledge. But not so! Get a load
of what our great-grandfathers were
told about the filthy weed a century
ago in a popular family encyclopedia:
“Tobacco is an absolute poison. A
very moderate quantity introduced
into the system—even applying the
moistened leaves over the stomach—
has been known very suddenly to ex
tinguish life.”
The author of that blistering warn
ing was a physician, too. He went on
to point out that tobacco whether
smoked, chewed, or sniffed, was
known to cause loss of appetite, nau

Blame That Toe Ache on the Weather!
Not long ago scientists from ten
countries confirmed that weather can
affect health.
In the report, published by U.N.’s
World Meteorological Organization,
the scientists noted that the incidence
of peptic ulcer perforations is high
est in May and November when dras
tic changes in air masses occur most
frequently. Also, it said, that epileptic
seizures often occur on very sunny
days or when there are rapid changes
in light intensity.
The weather affects many other
conditions, too, the article reports.
Now some folks have always known
“in their bones” that the weather was
the cause of their misery. So, next

Not the Right Way
We think some of those opposed to
the war in Viet-Nam are making a
mistake when they urge violation of
Selective Service laws.
Our involvement in Viet-Nam may
well be a tragic mistake but objectors
will get nowhere by fighting the draft.
It is the law of the land and whether
we like the Viet-Nam adventure or
not, the law must be obeyed.
Actually, attempts to break down
Selective Service machinery only give
ammunition to those who would ex
pand the war. Wrong as the war In
Viet-Nam may be, you can’t right
that by breaking the law.
Incidentally, there have been all
sorts of hints lately that the war
there finally is “going our way”. This
we doubt. Look at the continually
mounting draft calls (some 45,000 in
December, highest since Korea) and
rapidly stepped-up reserve traning.
The administration gives every evi
dence of readying for a long war in
Asia. You can’t put any other inter
pretation on its efforts to build up
a huge standing army. Lewis B. Her
shey, director of Selective Service, in
fact has admitted that college stu
dents will be called to meet the ad
ministration's need for cannon fodder
in Asia.
This war may well be the Achilles
heel which eventually trips the John
son administration.

The above remarks remind
me of a story about a young

like so:
“The minister, walking down
