"All, the young lives tliat are going under through this accursed habit of cigarette smoking," .said' Mrs Oourtenay Smitii, at the Women's Temperance Convention in Sydney. "There are youths, I say, who are slowly dying from cancer contracted by cigarette smoking. There arc some in our lunatic asylums whose place, will be ever vacant in tlieir . homes.

Do you know that last year "10,000.000 —million's, mark you!—otfcigarettes were made in Xew South Wales.
