this state of 5,65l pensioners, this year
there are $3.50, an increase of 1,029.
Monroe has the largest list-2ol-
while Issaquena has only 4. Perry
last year had A, while this year it
has 70. There has been an increase in
nearly all the counties in the state,
though decrease in some, Monroe
being one of them. In some of the
counties the decrease is very much
out Of proportion to the increase in
other counties, say to 5, if not a
greater percentage.

to the manner of issuance, stating
that it was violative of section so,

YELLOW FINGERS.

quAAJ -COu0uCboQ ny SEVERAL eu-
ucational institutions on cigarette
smoking discloses some figures,
which, if true, should set not only
the boys of the land to thinking, but
the parents or others with influence
TO shame.
The average efficiency of nom SIN o.
kers according to these reports is So
per cent. Of 100 cigarette smokers
only six can hope to attain degree
of proficiency that would allow them
to hope for success in positions requir-
ing attention to detail or depending
on an active mind in any healthy
body.
Sixty per cent have poor memories,
which, while not dissqualifying for
important work, is such handicap
as to retard advancement.
Forty per cent are given to exagera-
tion, certainly fearful handicap.
This is accounted for by the various
subterfuges in making excuses for
the habit in obtaining the cigarettes
when they had been deprived of the
ordinary means of procuring and the
desire to initiate associates, who
pride themselves on their sharp prac-
tees in obtaining the forbidden weed.
Sixty per cent have bad manners, a
result of the foregoing.
To find that ninety per cent are
sluggards in mind and body is enough
to cause people to think.
The above charges may be colored
to flavor the Investigators but there
is much truth in these charges is at
tested by the action of some business
men who, having a choice, pass up
the young man with yellow fingers. -
If you will notice the confirmed
cigarette smokes holds the cigarette
between the first and second fingers of
the left hand and if belonging to the
class called fiends,' these two
fingers are discolored by the nicotine
from the cigarette.
One observer said he had the first
man or boy TO see with the yellow
finger" who was reliable. That he
did not employ them because he knew
that they would smoke as soon as the
new wore off in spite of rules to the
contrary. That the time consumed
in making and lighting was not the
objection so much as he knew the
man would lie to hide his fault or to
obtain q chance to smoke and naturally
having learned to lie about other
things, if occasion seemed to demand.
He said that he had never seen a
yellow finger who wasn't clock
watcher.
That the desire to smoke was more
acute than the average appetite and
for an hour before closing time they
would get restless and become unfit
for work.
These are indictments that should
arouse every man or woman who
stands in a position of influence over
the youth of the land.
That it is not your boy and that he
may feel hurt if you give him your
opinion is no excuse for your mac
ton. Your very silence encourages
him that you tolerate the habit in
your boy or employee is ample excuse
to his mind for what his own con-
science condemns.
You will not employ y liar or 4
