men enjoy from infectious disease is
due to the calmness and unconcern
with which they regard such disease in

be afraid, and 80 they are clothed with
an invisible cloak. It appears, then,
that faith and hope are the two princi-
pies which the physician must encour-
age or seek tqevbks ia hts patient, and
these powerful allies may, perctiance,
create within him q courage which will

Tho Deadly cigarette.

The bill on cigarette smoking. recent
y introduced in the legislature by Mr..
Kelly, was regarded as anything but q
joke by the members of the Minneap-
Oils Woman's Improvement league.
They saw in the passage of the bill the
fulfillment of their wishes, and they
were anxious to have the bill prohibit
not only the sale, but the manufacture
or giving away of cigarettes. Because
Mr.. Kelly's bill was unconstitutional q
committee of women from the league
consisting of Miss Sanford and Mrs.
Henry Brown, went to St. Paul to in
vestigate the subject, and they met
with an amount of success that encour-
aged them to believe that the bill would
pass the house where it was formally
introduced. City Attorney Simpson has
drawn up IN amendment to Mr.. Kelly's
bill to make it constitutional, and will
present it to the proper authorities to
have it introduced in both houses.
