The Way to Quit

By Union Signal

THE WAY TO QUIT.—A company of boys had contracted the habit of tobacco-using, greatly to their detriment, as all acknowledged. The habit became so strong that a few of the number resolved to try to “break off” by using a less quantity each day until the end was reached. Nobody succeeded. With one it was different. He did not try to quit, but quit at once, and so made an end of the matter. What he did individually, the nation would do if it were enlightened. It is impossible to stop the train of drunkenness by putting on the brakes of high license. The engine must be detached; there must be a dead halt by prohibition, and not an inefficient attempt to cripple and worry the business.—Union Signal.
