POLICE QUIT TOBACCO HABIT.

Independence Force Follows Chief's
Lead -- Want to Grow Fat.

Since the Independence police have secured their new uniforms and caps, another reform has started and the police force has sworn off the use of tobacco.

Chief of Police Combs and Sergeant Price have grown thinner during the past few months. Chief Combs decided that tobacco was the cause of it and stopping its use would help his health.

Whatever the chief does, the other officers follow suit and all of them took the pledge to stop the use of the weed for a term of sixty days. If the uniforms fill out in the allotted time tobacco and its use will not be known on the Independence police force.
