The Cigarette Nuisance.

1t has been the fashion to regard
anti-cigarette legislation in general as
something of joke, but In the state
of Ohio, at least, it has BECOME no
laughing matter. A dispatch from
Cleveland explains what led to the en-
actment at Columbus recently, by a
unanimous vote, of a bill providing
that "whoever sells, gives or furnishes
to any minor under 16 years of age
any cigarette, cigarette wrapper or any
substitute for either, or any cigar or
tobacco shall be fined not less than $25
nor more than $lOO, or imprisoned
not less than two nor more than thirty
days, or both, for the first offense
and fined not less than $50 nor more
than $500 and imprisoned not less
than five nor more than sixty days for
the second or any subsequent Offense."
The dispatch says that in the neigh
borhood of nearly every school building
In the city are small stores where cigar
cites and tobacco are sold to children,
and so general has it's use become that
the evil effects have assumed alarming
proportions. One teacher. after detect
ing the odor of tobacco in the school,
room, instituted q search and found In
the pockets of the scholars l42 cigarettes
or stumps thereof and six portions of
plugs of tobacco. This was in a pri-
mary grade, where the Oldest scholars
were not over 10 years of age. Other
teachers noticed that scholars were us
ing chewing tobacco even during school
hours, although they were obliged to
use ink wells. desks and sponges for
cuspidors. The injurious effects of
cigarettes upon growing boys was pain
fully shown by the fact that here were
victims in the lowest high school classes
whose hands had the painful unsteadi-
ness generally characteristic Of extreme
old age, and that more than few were
wholly incapable of any continued or
concentrated mental effort. The rapid
growth of the habit was impressively
shown by the fact that the percentage
of regular smokers in the lowest class
of the high school was greater than I'm
the highest class. although the MEM
bers of the latter had three additional
years in which to acquire the habit.
1t is probable that Il similar condition
prevails in many other large cities.
That it prevails. to less degree, in
Scranton cannot be doubted. The Ohio

For Social Purity,

A number Of young women Of Wash
ington, we are told, have organized the
Equal Standard Purity club. Their
object is to establish a single code of
morals, equally binding upon men and
women, and to protect their members
from the society OF men of impure lives.
Every member is required to sign the
following pledge:
solemnly promise. by the help Of God.
to hold the law Of purity as equal? bind
ing upon men and women and to use my
utmost efforts to obey the command,
keep thyself pure; to discountenance
all coarse language and impurity In dress.
in language and art. and to lend a help
ing hand alike to men and women, giving
the penitent of both sexes an equal chance
Of reform, 50 far as my assistance ana
influence can do this.
1t is further stated that a method Of
ascertaining the private lives of young
men has been devised. Every young
man whose private life is found to be
impure will be blacklisted. This black
list will be. in the hands of the executive
committee, the members will be in
formed, and they are pledged never to
receive the attention Of persons on the
black list.
1t Is to be hoped that this courageous
experiment will succeed. The single
standard in morals can prevail when
ever women want it to. 1t is not mas
culine depravity which is discriminate
ing between the man and the woman
sinner; which exOnerates the one and
mercilessly condemns the other. No
male voice pleads for special exemp-
tions and special privileges. The double
standard in morals Is wholly the estab-
lishment of those women who excuse
in the sterner sex misdeeds which. in
their own sex. they make the provoca-
ton of systematic and exquisite tor
ture.
We are not. however. sure about the
wisdom of the last clause in the pro-
gramme of the Equal Standard Purity
club. The chances are that If II is
carried out, the results will be far from
satisfactory. Reformation is not usu-
ally permanent along spy lines. The
man who is moral only so long as he is
watched viii manage somehow to evade
scrutiny and sin i'm secret. The black
list Is one way of doing things. but
the white list rescued from blackness
would be preferable. For all that the
Washington experiment is novel and
will bear watching.

Events are moving RAPIDLY in Eu-

Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain
in Eng.and's parliament Friday that
the Salisbury government had deter
mined to aid Egypt in reconquering the
Soudan. sustained as IT was by a vote
of 2SS to 145, brings into view new
center of activity despite the fact that
within three months the attention OF
the world has been successfully fo-
cussed on Venezuela. Paris, South AT
rica and Abyssinia. The reconquer-
ing of the Soudan. for Egypt means its
reconQuering for England; it means.
furthermore. that Egypt is to remain
a British dependency. And thus the
promise of Gladstone, made in 1855,
that England would. within five years,
evacuate Egypt is carried forward
second time, this time indefinitely.

where the cancer was twice removed,
but he declares that death was prefer
able to such treatment 1t returned,
however, and the disease seemed to be
of most virulcnt type; the doctors af-
forded absolutely no relief, the cancer
spreading all the time, eating out en-
tirely the partition in the nose, as we'll
as the upper lip and gums.
"Sone months ago." he says, 81 be-
gan to use S. S. S., though admit with
little faith that it could cure me, but to
my surprise, a few bottles afforded
some relief. Thus encouraged, / de-
ternined to give the medicine thor

the progress of the disease seemed
checked. I continued the medicine,
and remarkable as it may seem, am
cured and feel like l have new life. 1
can talk more distinctly, for the flesh
has begun to grow back around my
teeth, where it has been literally eaten
away. S. S. S. is the most wonderful
remedy in the world, and as my condi-
ton is pretty generally known, every
body will agree that the cure is indeed
a most remarkable one. S. S. S. has
given me n new hold on life, and
shall certainly sing its praises the re-
mainder of my days"
The above is but one of many re-
marlsable cures being daily made by
S. S. 5. Cancer is becoming alarm
ingly prevalent, and manifcsts itself
in such variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear, may we'll be regarded with
suspicion. We will gladly send to any

cures fully as remarkable as this one.

no equal. 1t wipes out completely the
most obstinate cases of blood diseases,

His
Lip Gone!

There is not more familiar figure
on the streets of Atlanta than the man
whose picture is here shown. Every.
body knows him by sight and it will be
remembered that years ago he began
to wear on his upper lip, just under
his nose, Il small piece of court plas-
ter, not larger than silver half dime;
this plaster he has worn constantly,
though it gradually increased in size,
as everybody knows, until it was as
large as a silver dollar. This man is
M. nj. Nicholson, who resides at the
corner of Anderson and Curran SITS.
1t was thirty years ago, that he first
noticed tiny scale, like a piece OF
wheat bran, on his lip. He at first
thought il only fever blister, but it
was not long before his cheeks became
diseased and painful to the touch, and
he soon realized that he had fallen a
victim to that most dreadful disease
Cancer. 1t rapidly increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by
this terrible disease, which destroyed
his tongue, throat and left eye, MIR.
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,
and realized that his condition was
more than serious.
