ANTI-TOBACCO CAMPAIGN

“NOT FIT TO 1!F KISSED.” The anti-tobacco propaganda of the W.C.'1.1'.. details of winch were made known in Now Volk recently, include* verses to be learned and recited in public schools. ‘Not Fib to be Kissed’ follows; “What ails papa, mother?” said a sweet little girl, Her bright laugh revealing her teeth white as pearl ; ... “ I love him and kiss him and .-it on his knee. Hut the kisses don’t smell good when he kisses me.” “lint, mamma" —her eyes opened wide as she spoke— Do you like those kisses of bacca and smoke ? ... They might tin for hoys, but lor ladies and girls. I don’t think them nice," and she tossed her bright curls. “ Don’t nobody’s papas have moufs nice and clean? < With kisses like yours, mamma, that s what 1 mean. I want to kiss papa, 1 love him so well, lint kisses don’t taste good which have such a smell. It’s nasty to smoke and eat bacca and spit; And the kisses ain’t good, and ain’t sweet, not a bit." And her blossom-like face wore a look o£ disgust As she gave out her verdict, so earnest and just. Yes. yes, little darling, your wisdom is keen. , , . , That kisses for daughters and wives should, be clean ; For kisses lose something of nectar and bliss . . From months that are stained and unlit for a kiss.
