I am Mala calling your attention to the firm section Doctrine and Covenant, of th where It roiule that they who will not hear the vole of the prophets and apostles, shad be cut off from among tlio people.

Before th , war tt waa a curiosity to as n woman smoking, and! thsre were s great many young men who did not smoke. , During the war th tobae-- l 00 trust got many of the youth. They played upon the sympathies i of the people, upon th Red Cross nnd other organisations, and as. far as on every one else, and possible ' had them buy tobacco and send tt free to th boys in th trenches. Of course the tobacco trust did not send It ires. You may bs sura ot that! They saw to tt that they got their money, and they let someone else pay that ths boys might have their tobacco tree. In tbto way many formed the tobacco habit. After ths war they started their , campaign for the women, and they have captured them. I am sorry to say they have go some of our Mormon girls, I hope but n very tew. You can go out Into these larger cities anywhere In the United States, nnd It aeema most of the women are today. I eat In a resturant smoking today right here In Og-- r den, where two young men and two t girls were at a table and they were smoking, not merely the boys, but the girls- also.
