termed cigarette tiends" by the court
The superintendent who compiled these
figures asserts that the cigarette works
tenfold more injury to the boy under
fifteen than do Intoxicating liquors.
and more than any other one FACTOR
starts him on the road to criminal NE.
While it is true that not every cigarette
fend becomes criminal, the Tact re-
mains that the habit is acquired
through evil associations; it involves
demoralzing deception on the part OF
the boy at home; and by enftchlinG

BREAK AWAY FROM TRUST
Jobbers Dissatisfied with the Demon
alizatiOn OF Trade


alization of Trade.
Chicago. July 24.-The "factor'
plan in the distribution of refined
sugar-that is. on terms dictated by
the sugar trusts in jeopardy and
may be dissolved at any time. A
meeting Of wholesale grocers and job.
bers heretofore interested in further ing
the plans Of the American Sugar Re.
finery Company, was held at the Com.
mercal Exchange. and the trade siiua.
tlon as affecting sugar was discussed
The thing sought to be accomplished
was either WAYS and means of putting
stop to the present decentralization in
the trade, Or the abandonment of the
factor and the substitution of what is
known as the Equality" plan, under
the operation of which jobber regu.
lates his own prices
The present trouble began several
months ago. when jobbers showed a
disposition to break away from the
thralldom of the trust. The bars were
let down later by the Havermeyer tes-
tlmony, that the factor PLAN had been
abandoned. Western grocers then de.
cided to get together and agree to work
uniformly on some plan satisfactory to
all jobbing interests.

Affected by Men,

Men have their little Alterations. as
we'll as women. Among the latest is
that of turning the toes in. 1t is very
impressive. With feet shod in the extra
heavy and eXtra-big boots so fashion
able just now, and accompanied by the
popular pegtop trousers, the turned-in
toes are at their awkwardest. 1t is all
on account of the game of golf. Much
golf makes one pgeon-toed as is
proved by the devotees of the game.
Instinctively in driving and swinging
the feet veer inward, and before long
they point tAat way off the links as
well as on them. This principle once
established, the next step was that all
ambitious to become golfers should
turn their toes in. Then everybody Who
hoped to be taken for golfer began TO
turn his toes in, and finally al those
who blindly do a thing just because
everybody else Is doing it, and 10 mat
ter how ugly and senseless the thing
may be, became pigeon-toed.
