Healthy, hardy, bodies in our girls are not built or aided by cigaret Is another thought. 1 1 NOT7 Then there Is the question.

"But there is a "way" to do it 1 thry are going to smoke." said a third man. who added that this "way" was bound up in the time, the place and the amount of smoking done." This keynote has been sounded by several and hinges on the amount." that is, the excessive use of the cigaret for the reason that "worn- n an- Of a temperament that makes them more disposed to excess than nun." Others commented on the habit b referring- to the fact that "their mothc rs didn't smoke," and added that they rather like to think of all women in terms of their mothers' virtues and habits." Smoking by women is held to have one redeeming feature by one inasmuch inas-much as women who smoke do not clllcize those who do- not smoke." "1 believe,'1 one man said, "the av-' av-' ''.'-' ' i" l"'' i'i - to look ai .1 healthy, hardy girl a body built up athletically athleti-cally and I know that the cigaret ua-s no place in tho scheme of the athletic girl. Besides It spoils the complexion."

TJie Una! argument of one man Is: "Certainly, persistent smoking by all the women of the country would not produce future generations as fit for world war as were those youths sent ou to the last war. It Is the spread of the habit to tho masses of women which would hurt the nation as a whole.
