addicted to the cigarette habit. These reports further state that large numbers of babies also die within a short time after birth from these dope addicts. And even when infants survive, after being insufficiently nourished from the poisoned blood of their maternal forbear, they grow up to be criminals and moral idiots who finally finish their unhappy lives searching the gutters for stray cigarette butts.
 The cocktail bars, beer gardens and dance halls are now over-run with drunken women as well as feeble, tottering men. No wonder there are not enough jails, hospitals and lunatic asylums in this country to adequately house these self wreckers who are laying the foundation for a future decadent nation. What chance have children to grow up strong and intelligent who follow in the foot-steps of such idiotic elders?
 The methods of swindling financiers at the top of the social structure is breeding a nation of little swindlers who try to get something for nothing through petty gambling or other cheating devices. Yes, the little folks would like to do what the big financiers do: so greed and fraud are now taught by learned professors as the highest objectives of life.
 Because a lot of little countries. over in Europe were too greedy and shortsightea to cooperate with each other against the attacks of a big nation, they were picked off one at a time like sheép and now all of them are living under the iron heel of Despotism as slave states.

 So it is about time that we start to PREPARE for FREEDOM OR DEATH.
 But when we prepare to defend ourselves against these wealth-mad barbarians we must not expect to defeat them according to their methods of warfare. We must look ahead for new inventions and more progressive ways to combat them. We must be ready to surprise them with plans they are not acquainted with. We must be able to have them literally swallowed up before they can get here to pulverize our people. We must utilize natural laws to do it.
 To remain a free country we must keep in the front ranks of progress. We must understand that the age of pop-guns and crawling
