"Now if your dear Uncle Sam catches you selling
reefers he iocks you up; dina minvte, Eut he,
yes, Uncle Sam, will sell you & cigarette which is
actually habit-forming.
“How much does a serviceman pay for a carton
of cigarettes? Sixty cents!
“Now tell me how much do we (civilians}
pay for the same carton? Two dollar twenty five cente.
The sixty cents goes to the company but where does the
other $1.65 go. Sam! Uncle Sam. He is selling us this
dope. They put their stamp on the pack and you can't
buy them without Sam's stamp. Yet they will condemn
the men whe sell non-habit forming reefers, but he will
go right ahead and distriruce these poisons to the
people.
It has been proven that cigarettes cause
gancer. Et does that atop the devils. Ne! Since
shat disecvery they've put a2 couple new ones on the
market.
Not only cigarettes out also whialey. They
try to clean up the Bowery and Skid Row but at the
same time they will sel” you whiskey. How stupid
can vou get! This government is the worst yet. This
is the rottenest, dirtiest, moat mixed up governgent
on earth, °
"What will che world come tc if the vomen
are not pure, The women of teday fre s¢ social
conscious they will wear about enything to be in vogue.
You put those little dresses on your little giris
with their legs showing. How are they supposed tu
know the difference in whether its right or whether
its wrong? They think they're cute. Ang they grow up
thinking the game way.
