Cigarette smoking fears raised by State Board of Health
The State Board of Health heard a brief paper by Dr J M Emmert condemning cigarette use as dangerous to health. He described impurities and narcotic additives, especially affecting youths, lowering moral tone and impairing study. The board urged education and proposed prohibiting or restricting sales in the biennial report. A second item notes a quiet wedding of Daniel S. Eldridge and Estella Andrew at the bride’s home with family present and blessings.
