that the earth's surface is getting

-.and many orchards in -Ontario were

been one
ofthe

REV. •A. 'E. ALLIN REPLIES
Editor The Signal -Star.
SI. ,—Ur .• Full:weed evidently. did
=not notice that I_:!said :.nioth:ing
against the smoking ' of tobacco.
I would ban the cigarette because
of its devastating character as,• a
fire hazard. Our fathers used a
pipe, which -is pritbably ninety per
:cent. less: dangerous, than the cigar-
ette. Legislative `measures' to' "secure'
carefulness in the use of the great,
est firebug in' our country, as 'sug-
gested by Mr. ,Fullwood, .would be
as useless as measures to `prohibit
or..c.ontra the li nes traffic. (-Liquor
is harder to control than to .pro-
h-ibit.) To secure carefulness in
•cigarette smoking. we must cure
oui• prevailing carelessness.,; Much
spending • money has made us a
careless race. ACarelessness is • in
evidence everywhere: I have taken -
up many to ride in my car -in the
West—arnd have noticed that the
' fo>Eeigner'-, will carefully ;''shut the
door of the car when he gets ~oat,
but the • Canadians especially •oiir
"females, will either` leave the door,
open after them, or will give the
door a swing to shut it with a slam
or not to quite shut it. Nothing
will dire us of our increasing care-
lessness but a revisal of the _r'e-
iigion• of Christ or a good,_,stiff,"and
-prolonged depression. The pipe is
bad --the cigarette is ,,,, illainous:•
The smoker's flesh does net hear as•
quickly as that "of,`t•h ndin-smoker;
his bones are.slower to mend; he
finds it harder to recover from 'ill-
ness ; Ms-bareah is greatly curtailed
in running; the_.young student must
take lower marks in' his ••exams,
