Tobacco as a ProphyIactic.

Notwithstanding the almost uni
versal growth of the tobacco habit,
there are some who still regard it as
one of the most vicious and injurious
of indulgeness. There is no doubt
that it is but too often carried to eX-
cess. and the use of tobacco by chill
dren of tender years may WORK irrev-
ocable mischief However the weed
may be abused, it's effects when
judiciously used have been proved by
overwhelming scientific testimony
to aid materially to the welfare of
the human race. The London Lancet
has given the results Of some expert
ments to test the influence of tobacco
in the prevention. of disease trans
mission by bacillL It is found that
smoking is highly beneficial in per-
venting the decay of teeth Women
suffer more from dental carries than
men, and the difference is attributed
to the fact that but few women
smoke Some Of the earliest expert
ments in this field were made by an
American dentist in 1884. The micro
germs of dental carries when passed
through the smoke of tobacco were
rendered innOcuous Four years later
a physician in Naples lined a small
balloon with layer Of gelatine con-
tanning cholera bacilli. When the
smoke of from one to four cigars-the
number Of cigars required depending
on their strength in nicotine
drawn through this balloon the gela-
tine was completely sterilized.. These
and other experiments have now been
repeated by DR.. V. Tassinari in Rome,
and the result is to establish the fact
that the smoke of tobacco either en-
tirely destroys or retards the develop
ment Of the bacillus of cholera, of an
thraX and pneumonia. DR.. TassinaIi
published twenty-One charts indicat-
ing the action of tobacco on various
well-knOWn microbes, according to the
nature of the tobacco and the amount
consumed. The latter varied from
one to six grammes smoked In from
ten to thirty minutes. The bacillus
Of Asiatic cholera and that of pheu.
mOnia was in every case completely
destroyed, no matter what sort of to.
baccO was used. The bacillus of an
thrax showed stronger powers of re-
sistance, and that Of typhoid was
hardly affected by the smoke. The
only question now remaining to be
proved is whether the sterilizing of
microbes can be effected in the human
being with the same certainty as in
nutritlve gelatine.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
have received several copies of you: spien-
did paper; am now working to send you a
list of subscribers. Can its Importance be
disputed? Can any christian family or COM
munity afford to be without it2 Can the Bap
fist enterprises and religious work be proper
ly developed and sustained in its absence?
Can the brotherhood be posted in our enter
prises, unified in action with their brethren
in different parts of the state, as to the COM
mon feeling in activity unless they exchange
words and feelings with their co-laborers2
How can these ends be reached unless throuh
tho medium of the faithful christian journal
1t is an undisputed fact, and emphasized by
history that the progress of any and all demon
nations is, and has been in the ratio of sup
port given to their religious literature and the
ton is, How shall this be done? Not by abu
sing the faithful few, nor by berating in terms
too severe the delinquent. But by appealing
to them affectionately and enthusiastically of
inc nScuS oi inc cause Vi NnElSl, ana the Dies
sings in store for the diiigent and obedient.
Lay the great questions of our denomination
and our christian enterprises before them in
burning words.
We are prepared to take care of the
state executive Board which all convene with

saved br an Echo at Sea.

The echo from the steam whistle of
the Atlantic Transport Company's
steamer Montana beyond a doubt
saved the vessel from loss while plow-
ing her way across the Atlantic
from Swansea to Philadelphia,
says the Philadelphia Record.
In dense fog the usual signals
were being blown to warn ap-
preaching vessels when Captain For
sythe distinctly heard the echo in the
distance This conclusively proved
in his mind that he was in the midst
of towering bergs and the helm was
soon put down TO clear this great
danger to every mariner. 1t Is be-
lieved that the Montana skinned
the edge Of monster floating island
of ice.

Livery in the White House.

In all the finest private houses in
the capital the servants and the foot
men are in livery, but in the White
House the idea prevails that this is a
free and independent country and
that no man shall be compelled to
wear a badge Of serVitude. No at
tendant or servant is ever seen in
livery except the coachmen and foot
men, who are not on duty inside the
house. There is one prominent candi-
GATE for the Republican nomination
who, if he is elected. has already an
nOunced his determination to change
all that, and declares that he will
convert even the doorkeepers into
"Jeames YellOWplushes." He has
been heard on several occasions to ex-
press contempt for a custom which
allows any attendant in the Presi-
dents house to appear in business
clothes. Kate Fields Washington
thinks it would be yerY impressive
to have the doors swung open by
liveried flunkies, but if this favorite
son is elected he may run against an
obstacle when he attempts to compel
members Of the metropolitan police
force to wear plush small clothes, with
gorgeous coats and waistcOats to cor
respond.

time and tnen lasts several days, fol-
lowed by detachment OF the cuticle
and a discoloration continuing for
weeks or months. In some individ-
uals the sensibility of the skin is so
great that even the ordinary light
Of day produces these symptoms.
Electric light, byreason Of its abound
ing in ultraviolet rays, exerts very
powerful influence in this direction,
even at distance where heat radia-
ton is absolutely imperceptible. Sub
stances that permit the ultraviolet
rays to pass freely-such as water,
glycerine, paratfin, olive oil. cold
cream, etc.-when applied on the
skin in thin layers, are of no service
whatever in preventing sunburn.

Revival Services Unabased.-Interess
Manifested.
AS large an audience as was ever packed in
to the New Hope Baptist church of st. Joseph
Feb. 3rd, "a, and also the 4th at 8:4o In
stead of the general interest abating, there is
manifest increase from day to day. Posi-
bly, there was never gathered as many back
sliders and unconverted people into any
church in the Western or Southwestern states
as were gathered in the New Hope Baptist
church Saturday night, Feb. grid. The ser
vices were preceded by short testimony
meeting; the people of God spoke by three's
and four's. AT the close Of this meeting we
gave shorl talk on Preparation to meet ones
God, Heaven and Death. Sinners could be
seen all over the building bursting into tears,
and words were only spoken through sitting
sobs that were answered to by the weeping
and crying of almost the entire audience.
The eyes of men not often given to tears stood
fnll and running over. 1t was tragic mo-
ment in the history of New Hope Baptist
church. Penitents pressed their way to the
altar from every part Of the building. The
power of God rested on the congregation as
never before in this series of meetings. We
have three accessions to the church to-day.
Rev. K. w. P. Banks. the noted pastor has
a grasp upon his people that shows the
respect and confidence they have IN him As
being a worthy pastor. His plan of gather
ing in the young is the best we have ever wit
messed.

Brother pastors, brothers and sisters Of the
Baptist churches of Kansas, we need s.. 600
this year for our state work. In order to in
form the church of this need we have made
the HEADLIGHT 4 weekly paper. We put
this paper into each family of the church
through the pastors and the superintendent
and teachers of our sunday schools.
What can you all as leaders of your people
do for rs and the work. We need yonr aid
in money and work. Not in long articles
and good wishes; these articles and good
wishes will not aid in the raising of the s J, 600
needed in the state work. Brother pastors,
and superintendents and teachers, will you
meet Us in our conventional and institutional
meeungs2 viii you meet Us with money for
the work. Will you take the HEADLIGHT
yourselves, and get others to do the same2
Remember 1t is just IS cents per month.
VIII you get Us an agent in your town 70 sell
copies and take subscriptions for us? Re
