TO TEST EFFECTS OF TOBACCO.


DR.. H. W. Wiley of the Bureau Of
Chemistry of the Department Of the
Agriculture, who has been conducting
a government boarding house" FOL
testing the effects Of borax on the
human system, has begun a series OF
experiments designed to discover the
precise effects Of Of tobacco upon
men and boys. The reports do
not show whether the experiments are
designed to reveal the psychological
as well as the physiological effects, but
1t is earnestly hoped that they may.
Up to this time teachers have per.
haps been the closest observers of
these phenomena, though the results
Of their observations are based upon
such unreliable data as to age of
subjects, amount Of tobacco used.
duration OF the habit, ana previous
mental and moral character as to
render their deductions OF uncertain
value That the effects upon young
boys are very pronounced may be
readily admitted, The permanence Of
the effects after the habit is broken is
a matter OF much uncertainty.
No observing teacher OF boys under
fourteen years of age can fail to have
observed certain practically uniform
results Of the cigarette habit-limIta-
tions Of the capacity to learn certain
things, defects Of memory in certain
particulars, weakening Of the power
Of voluntary attention, development
OF dreamy, Of subconScious states OF
mind, relaxing Of the fiber OF both
mental and moral honesty, and other
similar phenomena. Effects OF this
kind are Of far more serious conse.
quence than the physiological effects
likely to be discovered by a few
months experimentation at Washing
ton, but the Importance OF the sub.
jent is such as to warrant the most
expensive and exhaustive investiga-
tion Of tie whole matter at the
charge. No statistics based
upon the testimony of young boys are
OF any value whatever. One of the
most uniform effects observed, almost
as uniform as in the case of opinion
patients of maturer age, is the relax
ing Of the Sense of obligation to
veracity. Many of these phenomena
are not permanent even in the case
of those who persist in the habit to
manhood. But certainly the injur-
iousness of the habit to boys from ten
fourteen years Ct age has not been
at all exaggerated.

souri, Veteran Preachers Associa-
ton held its anniversary celebra-
ton Wednesday afternoon and it
drew a large audience, many of
which came out principally to hear
Rev. j. G. Bergman, the Oldest
preacher of the Southern Methodist
church. Although in his 93d year,
having been born February %,
1910, his voice was strong and
clear, and he stood before his
audience for nearly an hour in de-
livering his "reminiscences. His
parents were members of the
church as were his brothers and
sisters, and when 10 years of age
he espoused the cause of the Lord,
and shortly thereafter his parents
moved to Missouri from Kentucky
with him and he took up the work
here. He was sent out among the
Kickapoo and other Indians in the
vicinity of Fort Leavenworth and
served in that capacity for fourteen
years. He was then placed in
charge of the Shawnee Manual
Training School just outside of the
present site of Kansas City. The
school had a membership of over
a hundred boys and girls, and he
held that position for two years,
when he was put in charge of all
the schools from the Missouri
southwark to the Red river, which
then was the boundary between
the United States and Mexico, and
remained in that position for three
years and a half, when his wife
died and he removed his children
to his brothers, neal Arcadia, Mo-,
where he intended conducting a
school for the education of his
children and others in the COM
munity. The school was subse-
quently recognized by the st. Louis
conference. He conducted this
school for over sixteen years. In
1874 he was a member of the gen.
eral conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church and voted for
the separation. He still thinks he
was right and believes that it was
the best for the church. He spoke
very kindly of the members of that
conference who held opposite
views. He is the only surviving
member of that memorable con-
ference. At the close of his remi-
niscences he sang the song, 81 am
nearer to God to-day than | have
ever been BEFORE" in a voice that
surprised the audience for clear
ness and musical pitch. Near the
last verse he was almost overcome
with emotion, and many handker-
chiefs went up to wet eyes as he
finished the last words"
