Note — The above was written in

editor’s mind was forcibly brought
to the subject by a severe attack
of second-hand tobacco poisoning.
Every other inmate of the jail
smoked cigarettes, most of them to
excess and the management refused
to give the heretic a closed cell, al­
though there was no good reason for
refusing. The smoke at times was
very nauseating, and, if the above
is too radical, the users of the wets!
