The Widely Different Actions Taken by Legis-
latlve Bodies
Boston, Mass, Feb. 19--It may make the
boys happy to know that cultured Massa-
chusetts has come to the rescue Of their
beloved but much-abused cigarettes. To-
day after an exhaustive inquiry the LeRis-
latiVe Committee on Health refused to favor
ably report on the proposed bill to stop the
manufacturing. sale and use Of cigarettes
within the wealth. The committee
arrived at this conclusion after hearing the
report of Professor Babcock. the Well-known
botanist and expert.
Professor Babcock said that more lies we're
told about the injurious effects Of cigarettes
than about fishing trophies. The sole evil
Of tobacco was in its nicotine. As cigarettes
were on the average made OF a much better
grade of tobacco than the filler used in
cigars, and were more dry, etc, weight for
weight the cigarette was less poisonous than
a cigar. The sole i'll effect of cigarette
smoking was an inhaling which took the
poison latO the lungs. To lnhale cigar smoke
a small fraction Of the amount of cigarette
smoke would Kill a man ten times as
quickly. If smokers do not inbale, the use
Of cigarettes is preferable to smoking either
a cigar or pipe and is by all means prefer
able to chewing.

tobacco or other substance rolled in paper
on any public street or highway, or at any
church. theater or public hall, hotel, court

Pension 1hievery.

The Boston Herald gives some pen
sion figures that will astonish the ma
jority of readers. Here they are:
Minnesota furnished 1854 three
years men in the war, and she has
l0,S73 men on the pension roll. The
District of Columbia beats. this
record, in. that she furnished only g.
Dab three years men and has 6,132
meh-on the pension rolls. Oregon
furnished 1,773 three years men, and
1893 soldiers from that Sta 70 draw a
pension. This record is surpassed in
Kansas, which supplied 1864 three
years men, and has on the pension
rolls 29,42l. California leads all the
other States in this direction, howev-
or, she furnished 1857 three years'
men, and has 1904 drawing a PEN
sion. The only explanation of this
excess OF pensioners over the number
OF three years men enlisted is that a
vast number Of men enlisted just be-
fore the close OF the war and saw but
little service. But they get pensioned

A Simple Dislnfectant.

One of the SIMPLEST disiniectants of
sick room is ground coffee burnt on
shovel so as to fill the atmosphere OF
the room with its pungent aromatic
odor. If two red hot Goals are placed
on fire shovel and teaspoonful of
ground coffee is sprnkled over them,
at time, using three teaspoonfuls in
all, it will fill the room with its aroma,
to have the hygienic effect OF prevent
ing the spread of various epidemic
diseases. The odor is very agreeable
auu soothing to sick person where
other disinfectants prove disagreeable
Physicians who doubt the power of
coffee as disinfectant frequently re.
commed it as deodorizsr, and it is
certainly one of the very best and most
agreeable. Most of the expensive dis
inlectants sold in the shops have no
special power as such, but are simply
deodorizers, the two being frequently
COMPOUNDED. 1t is best, however, to
obtain from physician in cases of dan.
gerous epidemics something that will
certainly destroy the germs of the
disease, as we'll as deodorize the room
