has issued call for delegate conven-
ton to be held in Oklahoma City, De-
cember 18th, composed OF delegates
chosen from each political division of
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, to
discuss the advisability OF statehood
and the boundary lines OF the proposed
state. Statehood for Oklahoma has
been agitated since early last spring,
but when first suggested met with al
most general opposition on account Of
the alleged expense which a change
from the territorial form of govern
ment would infict upon the state, but
Notwithstanding the idea has continued
gradually to grow in favor and at this
time twenty-three out of the twenty
five newspapers published in Oklahoma
are vigorous supporters Of statehood.

movement. AS yet no expression OF
opinion has been received from the In
dian residents of the so-called five civ.
ilized tribes, but invitations to attend
the Oklahoma City convention have
been extended to the governors and
legislatures OF each tribe.

Tbs Importance of climatology b grad
ually becoming recognized. Noone can
doubt that of the many factors which
contribute to helpor hinder physical well
being, very large share must be at
tributed to climate, understood in it's
widest sense. e., to those conditions
OF atmosphere and soil which are con-
stantly operating upon us by day and by
night. The air we breathe, its temper
AZURE, humidity, pressure and purity,
the amount of sunshine we receive, the
character of the winds to which we are
exposed, the nature of the soil on which
we reside, all these factors have a Do
tent influence upon the organism in
health, and still more potent influence
upon 1T in its more unstable and sensi-
tive condition when the subject of dis
ease.
While few will care to question such
obvious considerations, climatology is
still comparatively neglected, and does
not yet rank where it will probably
some day stand-viz., alongside hygiene
and dietetics. The reason for this COM
parative neglect is probably the vague
ness which has hitherto for the most part
surrounded this subject, and the paucity
of accurate and definite data relating to
it. 1t is also unfortunate that the avail
able information is SO often obtainable
only from interested persons, whose
natural bias in favor of certain localities
will often, in spite of the most upright
intentions, lend more or less unreal
coloring to their statements York

Certainly they do, sometimes, though
not very often. 1t is lottery. The fact
that some of the rarest of American coins
have been picked up in ordinary circula-
ton keeps their eyes peeled. They know
values pretty well, and the sanguine
cherish the hope of unearthing one OF
the missing dollars of 1904, which are
worth 5000 each. In fact, as high as
$500 has been offered and refused. The

Cigarette Smoking Increasing.

''Ihe laws against cigarette smoking"
said member of one of the largest firms
that manufacture that article, which
forbid their sale to minors and call, in
New York at least, for the immediate
arrest of every youth under sixteen who
is caught smoking them in public places,
have not had the slightest effect on the
cigarette market Despite these laws
and the thunderings of the medical press
the cigarette business has grown steadily
and the entire output of the factories to-
day is fully one-third greater than that
of two years ago. Even if the laws
against the cigarette smoking minor
were strictly enforced, which they are
not, it would not at all influence the
trade.
1.-THE reason is found in the fact that
the average little boy who affects the
paper wrapped weed has only very linn
tied capital at his command. As he buys
only the cheapest brands the big dealers
won't waste time in selling to him. He
rarely invests in whole package, and
deals almost entirely with those queer
little shops in side streets where cigar
cites are sold in broken lots at the rate
of two for penny. AS you can easily
see, the entire suppression of this branch
of the business is not liable to exercise
much influence upon the trade at large.
