A NOTABLE NO-IO-BAC MIRACLE.
PHYSICAL PERFECTION PRE-
VENTED BY THE USE OF
TOBACCO.
An Old-Timer of Twenty-three Years
Tobacco Chewing and Smoking Cured.
and Gains Twenty Pounds In Thirty
Days.

LAKE GENEVA, Wis, May 7.-Spe-
ial. The ladies of our beautiful little
town are making an interesting and
exciting time for tobacco using hus-
bands, since the injurious effects of
tobacco and the ease with which it can
be cured by a preparation called No
To- Bac have been SO plainly demon
strated by the cure of Mr.. +. {. Waite.
In n written statement he says u
smoked and chewed tobacco for
twenty-three years, and am sure that
my case was one of the worst in TINS
part OF the country. Even after l went
to bed at night if woke up | would
want to chew or smoke 1t was not
only killing me, but my wife was also
ailing from the injurious effects. Two
boxes of No-To- Bac cured me, and
have no more desire for tobacco than
have to jump out of the window.
have gained twenty pounds in thirty
days, my wife is well, and we are in
deed both happy to say that No-Io.
Bac Is truly worth its weight in gold
to us
The cure and improvement in Mr.,
YATES case is looked upon as mira
cle-in iact, it is the talk of the town
and county, and it is estimated that
over \ thousand tobacco users will be
using No-To- Bac within few weeks.
The popularity about No-To-Bac
as patent medicine is that the max
ers, the Sterling Remedy Company,
No. - Randolph street Chicago, alb
solutely guarantee the use of three
boxes to cure, or refund the money,
and the cost, $3.50, is so trifling as
compared with the expensive and un-
necessary use of tobacco that tobacco
using husbands have no good excuse
to offer when their wives insist upon
their taking No-To Bac and getting

The contest between Bishop Matt and
Father Malone continues to increase in in
tensity. On the 9Th Bishop Matz sent to
Father Malone a letter saying that Malone
anu a large proportion Of his co congregation at
st. Josephs were accommodated to remain
so until reinstated By the pope. This order
was not promulgated from the pulpi,s OF the
city churches, however, as the bishop seems
to have reconsldered his determination.
letter OF warning was read at St. Joseph's
warning the people that further attempts TO
bring the matters in dispute into civil courts
for adjudication would entail excommunlca-
ton. The troubles must be settled by the
ecclesiastical authorities.
The opinion is expressed that this pTactl-
caly annuls the sentence OF communication.
Father Malone, however, does not think so.
A large meeting of members OF St Joseph'a
parish was held Sunday night and strong
.peeche. in support of Father Malone and
the rights OF the church were made. Father
Malone counseled moderation and patience,

Mr. EDWARD ATKINSON has given
much time aud labor, with the help of

writes for the May Forum to show that
their true meaning is that the owners

they formerly were, that they have
made great progress in thrift and

in the statistics of farm mortgages to

Antiquity of Smoking,

In the mortar of the tower of Kirk
stall abbey, which fell in the year 1879,
Whitaker mentions that several little
smoking pipes" were found, showing
that the smoking of some herb or other
was in use in England 400 years before
tobacco was introduced. DR.. Petrie
mentions that pipes of bronze for smok-
ing are often found in ancient Irish tu-
null. In the monument of Donough
O'Brien, king of Thomond, who was
killed A. D. 1927 and inferred in the
abbey of Corcumrae, County Clare, he
is represented with short pipe, or du-
deem, in his mouth.
1t may be observed that in some very
ancient coal workings, which were
found under Lambton castle some 80
years ago, some of these very old smok-
ing pipes were found, and a generation
or two ago not far from Lambton very
poor old folks might often be seen smok-
ing the common white lowered yarrow,

swarnls In Western New York Eavaging
the Potato, Cat and Corn Fields.
Grasshoppers are proving a great pest
and source of annoyance and loss to
farmers in western New York Reports
continue to come from nearly all coun-
ties of damage being done the crops by
them. In the eastern part Of Livingston
county they are very numerous. Last
year they visited that section about two
weeks later than this, but there were
not so many as there are this year.
They are now doing great damage to
potatoes, carrots, corn and all growing
crops.
Genesee and Wyoming counties also
report considerable havoc from the
grasshoppers. IN the southwestern part
of the state they are also SO numerous
as to beget apprehension. In Allegany
county they are doing great damage.
Since the hay has been cut they have
taken to the oats, buckwheat and other
grains. in many instances literally ruin
ing whole fields. Several farmers, in
order to get better quality Of straw,
are cutting their oats while yet green,
believing that if left to ripen the grass
hoppers viii destroy them.
Potatoes, which are very extensively
raised in Allegany county, are also SUI
fering from their ravages, and efforts
are being made to protect the crop. One
method which is being extensively used
is for a number Of boys and men, with
fshpoles to march abreast across the
fields, driving the pests before them.
The process is q tedious aud expensive
one, since, in order to effect any perna-
nent good, it must be continued during
the whole day. Another drawback to it
is that it leads to many petty quarrels
between neighbors. When one drives a
swarm of grasshoppers to an adjoining
farm, his neiehbor Is pretty sure TO
crye them back, and unpleasanness
usually follows. Rochester democrat
