U. convention, the arued Selegates declared anew their unre- fenting hostility to tobacco in apy form, or «mate or female, old or young. Here are samples of such fnti-smokes propaganda; “Tobacco not only robs life, but it binders advancement.” “Nicotine is not only an enemy to fire, scholarship and attainment, but is hostile to nearly every avenue wf thought.” | “Tobacco robs families of food and Pther necessities. ‘The cigarette flend Will steal money from his mother’s purse, rob his father's till or pawn Books from the family library in as a wo @rder to secure cigarettes.

Women are not the only new pro- mmoke propagandista There are the young men, millions of them, who were in the Great War.

Now gently and with a steady hand make slow traction, drawing the tongue out of the mouth, and hold it out with a steady pull a minute or two. The hiccough stops and may not return, Should it do so, repeat the ae tion aeveral times if necd be, althoux it js almost invariably successful. Be careful, quict or you will bungie and do more harm than good Another very simple but equally eMeacious method reassure upon the back of the tongue with a spoon- handle, Press down and back with a steady, forceful hand.

The benzyl! benzoate exerts its action best when made up in a 20 per cent. alcoholic solution, 20 to 40 drops of which are given in milk or water, This is a point to mark, be cause the action of the drug is too slow when given in any other man ner.
