Advice Against Tobacco

By Michigan Christian Herald

It is not often that the inscription is worth more than the gift. A Detroit tobacco manufacturing company gave a special prize last week to a promising boy exhibited at the baby show in Grand Rapids. It was a sealed box of tobacco on which was inscribed the first-class advice, "Never use tobacco until your mother breaks this seal." A striking feature of this sage council, given by parties who knew what they were talking about, is more than disinterestedness. If boys would let tobacco alone until their mothers opened the package the business would certainly perish.—Michigan Christian Herald.
