very severely with peculiar case Of
Kidney Trouble which completely baf-
fled the skill of the local physicians and
instead of getting any better he was
gradually growing worse. He says:

Kidney Pills, and after | had used two
boxes l was entirely cured and have
not since had the slightest symptom
of the return Of my trouble.
II had tried all the surrounding ply

instead of getting better l grew worse

generally; in my opinion, both mental
and moral"
More and more the habit is telling
in the workshop, if we are to believe
the testimony of those who should
know best. A newspaper advertise
mont the other day for a sharp,
obliging, intelligent lad" warned all
boy smokers that they need not ap-
ply and such advertisements are by
no means rare There is sound eco
nOmics in them. Sir James Reckitt
declared the other day that he would
certainly not choose smoking boy
to do any work for him if he could
get non-smoker to do it, and Sir
Thomas Upton hss set himself strong
ly against the practice as an employ
er. The experience Of Sir Christie
pher Furness has been that juvenile
smoking mot only causes deteriora-
ton OF physique, but tends to develop
lounging habits, with the result that
the Juvenile smokers work is less
conscientiously done, and he is lack
ing in sprightliness and alertness."
The DOCTOR it goes without saying,
is the strongest enemy of Juvenile
smoking. Probably the action of the
local authorities in Edinburgh owes
something to the influence of Sir
Henry Littlejohn, the city's medical
officer, who is one Of the oldest pub
lie officials in Scotland. Sir Henry
issued not long ago a statement of
the evils of juvenile smoking which
startled a good many people 1t is
not quite clear. what, if anything, can
be done to check the growth of
habit which is seriously affecting
the rising generation. There are Par
liaments which have thought it well
to prohibit the sale Of cigarettes to
boys and to punish boy smokers with
heavy hand; but such a course
seems out Of the question at present
in England. Years ago the Minister
Of Public Instruction in France issued
a circular to all directors of colleges
and schools forbidding smoking be-
cause it checked the development of
mind and body. The remedy may
not be perfect, but it is better, at any
rate, than inaction, and it does not
seem too soon for M. P.'s to begin to
think about the peril of the cigarette.

When the Beard Grows Fastest.

''The beard hardly grow S at all when
you are asleep" said the barber.
How do you know?" asked the man
in the operating chair.
ooh, by experiment. You see, al
ways used to shave myself in the morn
ing, the first thing after getting Up;
but hated to do it, because it was SO
apt to make me late for breakfast. So
one night, l shaved myself at II
o'clock, and went straight to bed and
to sleep. Do you know, my face was
almost clean when l got up? You
would have sworn, unless you had ex-
amined me closely, that l was fresh
from the razor. And ever since then l
have shaved before going to bed, and
have been given credit for shaving in
the morning. The growth of the beard,
you see, is practically imperceptib1e
during the eight or nine hours Of your
sleep. But If you should stay awake
those eight or nine hours the growth
would be as fast as usual. One night,
after l had shaved, | had to stay up
with my sick daughter, and / almost
needed a second scraping in the morn
ing. The beard grows, in my opinion,
three times as fast when you are awake
as it does when you are ASLEEP" Phil

ENGLAND's cocKNEY TWANG.
More Common Among Young Than
AmonQ Middle-Aued and Old

"oiC SoHliHoH Among TOun9 nan
Among MiddIe-Aged and Old.
Among the evils of the world which
the enthusiast tell us education will
most infallibly do away with is that
painful and fnexplicable mystery the
Cockney twang. But it is a remark
able fact that the wellknown Cockney
habit OF pronouncing as as is is much
more common among the young than
1t is among the middle-aged, while
among the veterans of London it is
hardly known at ALL
One can talk to the average London
workingman of 60 or 70 without detect
ing the slightest lapse into this dis
tressing habit; indeed, the old London
workingman talks very often in the
grand style, with a fine dignity of roll
ing syllables and a singularly clear
enunciatiOn Among the middle-aged
the twang is noticeable, but among
the young it is obvious in every word
they utter Precisely to same may
be said Of the South London accent; it
is not in the old suburban resident,
but n his sons anL daughters, that
we detect the evil
From this it would seem that the
twa1g and the accent are both of
recent growth, and, by the same token,
that the present board schools are
powerless to arrest their progress.

BILE with his WIS, clipped his would"

when he intended to say because y
But he never spoke of a "lidy'' and

this modern twang is matter difficult

THE CIGARETTE HABIT.
Growing Feeling Against Juvenile
SMOKING,

smoking.
The fight against the cigarette for
boys, which has been taken up by the
local authorities of Edinburgh, has
been growing in force during the last
few years, There is little doubt that
one OF these days some thing will
have to be done at Westminster, such
as is now being done by educational
authorities and employers of labor in
smaller ways all over England The
Plymouth School Board has lately
circularized the parents of the child
rem under it's care, calling their at
tention to the growth of cigarette
smoking among boys; and at Leeds
the School Board has sought the as
s1stance of eminent medical author
tiles in it's efforts to put down the
pernicious habit The school manage
ment committee of the Liverpool
Schoo! Board has declared in a spe-
cial report on the subject that ''ciga-
rette smoking affects the system gen
orally, and arrests the physical de-
velopment," and the chairman of the
Glasgow School Board asserts that
the boy who smokes is mot mentally
or physically able to study"
From schOOlmasters and school
boards elsewhere comes the same
testimony. In nine cases out of 10.
says the headmaster of Portsmouth
Grammar School, the unsatisfactory
boy is smoker Mentally and NOR
ally according to their teachers, boys
suffer from the cigarette habit. The
boy who smokes at school is not only
worse student in consequence, but
too often becomes sneak. "Juve-
