Show TITO The Power of Tobacco.' The habit of smoking tobacco is not a modern one, as its use can be traced back for several centuries. -- When Columbus made his first Toyage to the Western hemisphere 'be found the natives on the island - bfCuba smoking tobacco in rolls - or cigars. Other explorers dis-- , covered that the use of tobacco was universal among the prehistoric ' ; peopleaofthe American continents. The Aztecs and Mexicans had used It from time immemorial, not only as a narcotic but also in the solemn ceremonies attending their worship. It is therefore impossible to know for how long a time man . has been acquainied with its use. It is safe to say, however, that its baneful effects have been felt by mankind for more than four bun dred years. That for this long time it has been weakening the constitu-tion- s and destroying the health of our progenitors until at this present day it has reached the very climax of its power. In our coun? try, I think we should be safe, in saying that 75 per cent of its people are slaves to a weed that is poisonous in its effects and debasing to the morals and manners of its users. : Burton who wrote not long after its introductionintoKnglandeays that it is a good herb, but as it is commonly abused by mostraen, who take if as tinkers do ale, its a plague, a mischief, a violent purge of goods, lands and health, and the ruin and overthrow of body and soul. If he could write such an arraignment of the use of tobacco .in his day, when its use was limited, what language might ho use at the present time, should he see so m&uy of our young men loafing on the streets, whose dim eyes, listless and careless disposition, and weak constitutions show only to plainly the influence which this sedative poison has upon their nerves and the circulation of their blood. The harmful effects of tobacco d wefe soon discovered after its action into European countries and its further spread was met with the most resolute opposition f statesmen and priests, and King James I. wrote a book on the subject declaring that smoking was a practice loathesome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain; and dangerous to the lungs. Laws of all kinds were enacted to prevent its use. The offenders were subjected to the knout, to . JOURNAL, LOO AN, UTAH. H1R0H 9 USO.

Even in our own country women smokers are more numerous than is generally supposed. The degrading effect of such a condition as this must be apparent at once. I have seen it stated quite recently, and on good authority, that the downfall of the Spanish Empire has been dne, in a large measure, to the almost universal use of to bacco .among its people. It has made of the once proud and haughty Castilian nation a people wjio are listless dreamers, vainly boasting of their departed glory and prestige but whose energies have been weakened and whose vitality sapped to such an extent that there is no inoral nor intellectual strength left to hold their government from disintegration.
