Claiming that there is an intimate lation between crime and cigarette smoking, Dr. D. H. Kress of the Wash- ington Sanitarium, Takoma Park, this morning told a gathering of students of the Wilson Normal School that 93 per cent of the offenders hailed into the juvenile“courts of the United States ‘were cigarette fiends, and that many “‘dastardly are traceable to micotine, which has the same effect sn the brain as heroin. Dr. Kress stated that the vouthful habit of smoking will rapidly degen erate the human race to a disastrous extent. He declared that heart disease, for which cigarettes are largely r sponsbile, causes more deaths than other disease. s The extinction of the Maoris of New |3 Zealand is being caused by smoking, Dr. Kress said. He stressed the point that highly seasoned foods create a craving for cigarette smoking. He jumerated a list of Presidents of the United States and octogenarians, who, he claimed, were non-smokers, and told the audience that Abraham Lincoln had promised his mother that he would rancisco never smoke or drink.
