Don't Smoke, Boys.

By Editor

THERE are plenty of good reasons, says an exchange, why boys should not contract the habit of smoking, and various ways of stating them. The editor saw a practical statement of that kind a few days ago, and he quotes it for what good it may do, in spite of the fact that it is not new. A man who had more time than the editor can spare made a calculation showing that three cigars a day, at a cost of ten cents each, for 45 years, say from age 20 to 65, would amount, at six per cent, compounded annually, to the snug little fortune of $18,100.14. Save the money, boys, and your health at the same time.
