sive euchre and games on Saturday in the Auditorium, and

and friends in the Horne after having dinner together.
Iht would seem by the attendance so far that the week has
been the most successful yet. A great deal of the credit
for its success is due to the Splendid co-operation of the
weather man, the staff members and the assistance of the
Women's Auxiliary who were responsible for the regis-
tration.

Tobacco
is Indians
revenge
The Canadian Indians wrecked
by the white man are having the
last laugh in the Great. Beyond.
Tobacco is the Indian revenge.
Before Columbus, tobacco was
unknoWn to the white man. But
explorers soon saw that Indians
smoked the leaf in a Y-shaped
pipe called a tabaco. Each'end
of the double-forked pipe was
inserted into a nostril. In some
places, though, Indians smoked
tobacpo leaves rolled with husks
of corn. The white man sampled
the stuff, 'liked it, and 'thereby
put a curse ' on coming gen-
erations.
The. Indians smoked for cer-
emonial pUtposes and as a symbol
of gOodwilL They also believed
that tobacco had medicinal'
values. It was, in fact, primarily
for this reason that explOrers
Carried the weed back toEtirope.
The brainwash took so well that
by the middle of the seventeenth
century, a London doctor wrote
a Whole book on t ,The,aVonderful
Vertues of Tobacce.'! The over-'
zealous physiCian recommended
a drop of tObacco juice in each
ear to cure deafness, a green
tobacco leaf flat on the head to
cure headache, and a tobacco
leaf tied over a tooth to cure
toothache. For a cough, he ad-
vised boiling tobacco leaVes,
shaking the syrup, and putting
the mixture on the stomach. ,
Doctors 'have ,learneda lot
more about the effects of tobacco
over the last three cetiturie.a.
Xasv they know that smoking is
leading cause of emphysema,
chronic br'onchiti's, lungg, cancer,
coronary heart di Seaae e and other
diseases, but in the intervening
centuries, smoking has spread
aroung the World.. And there
'are still millions cCariatliaris Who
