BOYS. AND THE TOBACCO HABI T.
Evils Of It Told by One Who Knows.
By E. P. PARHAM.

In a recent editorial published in your
excellent Journal you discussed the to-
bacco habit and it's Injurious effects upon
the boys. It was @ timely utterance, and
I hope was read and pondered by par
cnts wherever The Times circulates. 1t
is in our cities, where boys are numer-
Gus and where the evil habit Of using to-
bacco is so prevalent. that this injurious
practice largely is followed by youths
WHO. as You note. deem it manly to use
nicotine even at first though its use be
nauseating and disgusting. It is indeed
strange that boys should imagine the use
OF tobacco makes them manly, and a
habit that they imagine the public re-
cards as adding to their wisdom and i'm
portance. as they appear in public with
the ubiquitous cheroot and the disgusting
ovid. The Injurious effects of nicotine
UPON the physical system is a fact adj
mitted by physicians and readily seen
by all unprecedented persons Upon the
young the evil effects of the tobacco
habit are more pronounced and palpable
because Of the tender, undeveloped con-
dition of both mind and body. The poiS-
onous nicotine saturatinE the youthful
body and leaving its deleterious effects

II early life the writer, like many
other youths, contracted this habit 1t
was not long before the evil consequences
began to appear, Nervousness, dizziness
in head, headache, indigestion, sleepless-
ness and an ill-natured disposition We're
among the evils the unfortunately con-
tracted habit brought upon me. I found
that it was imperatively necessary to
give the habit up, but to do so found

Il was enabled after years had passed
to put it down to that extent that lose

a. severe struggle, the memory OF which
I shall never forget. To-day I haven't
the slightest desire to use the weed. I
am truly grateful to God, for realize
that in my own case. had I persisted
in its use, serious consequences would
have taken place, nor could I consistently
have urged my boys not to use it. You,
Mr.. Editor, struck the right keynote in
saying the youths of our land must be
educated to see the evils of the use OF
nicotine. The example of father in this
education Of the boys is OF vital i'm
portance. To check this growing evil
among our boys parents Should do all
they can. In the homo is a good place
to educate our boys to eschew the habit.
