A SMILE costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those
who receive without making poorer those who give. It
takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts
forever.
No one is so rich or mighty that he can get along without
it, and no one is so poor but that he can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in
business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest
to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad­
dened. It is nature’s best antidote for trouble.
Yet, it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for
it is something that is of no value until it is given away. Some
people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of
yours, for no one needs a smile so much as he who has no more
to give.

smokers throughout the State

tax which was to operate until
June 30, 1941, would be cut off
the last nine months of that
