YOUNG MEN MUST WORK.

The Frederick Free Land, comment
ing on an address recently delivered
by Mr.. George W. Perkins, business
associate of Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan,
in which he declared that "too many
young men don't want to work hard,"
says:
"For some time past we have been
trying editorially and otherwise to
arouse the young men Of Virginia
from their lethargy.
1--WE have some young men who by
their energy and perseverance are
making their mark in the world, but
a large number still pass away their
time sitting around and waiting for
something to turn up. The young
men who succeed today must work.
Their fathers worked to secure sue
cess and they too must work.
"The South is full of golden oppor-
tunities for young men, but they are
to be found only by hard work. The
old saw, 'early to bed and early to rise
makes a man healthy, wealthy and
wise is just as true as it ever was.
Many young Southerners lose several
hours from business every day simply
because they stay up too late at night
and consequently are compelled to re-
main in bed very late the next morn
ing. The 'early bird catches the worm.
The live, active young man who is
not afraid of getting down to his Of
flee too soon in the morning will have
made wages before his lazy compel
:tors have opened their mornings

recreation. 'All work and no play

play and no work will lead Jack into

And someone is lamenting

What base insinuatioD!
What falsehood line on line!

No doubt. Yet critics state
They're really quite old fashioned
And somewhat out Of date.
Our dramas. poems and novels,
As anyone can see,
Have relegated "sweet six:eens'' to tales OF

It's certainly sign
That lots OF things may happen when girls

For whispered might-have-beent.
But if you smile as sweetly

You'll never have to pine!

The Cigaret Habit--A New
Peril.

Local newspapers of recent date con-
tanned dispatches from London stating
that a current issue of the London
Times included manifesto demanding
legislation by Parliament looking to
the prevention of juvenile cigaret
smoking, and added that an entire COL
umn of that influential journal was re-
quired TO contain the names of the sign.
ers Of the petition. 1t was stated that
the list included Peers, Bishops, j Judges
the leading head masters Of colleges
and medical officers.
This is an encouraging development
to the men and women of this country
who realize the serious menace that
this comparatively new vice has as
sumed.
Twenty-Five years ago the sale Of
cigarets in this country was compare
lively small. Their use was first oh
served among the students of the
Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute at
Troy, N. Y, which was and still is
patronized extensively by Cubans and
South Americans. The cigaret habit
and the inhaling habit spread from
that point until now it is more devas
tating to the health and morals of boys
and young men than any habit or vice
that can be named.
The astonishing feature OF the situa.
tion is that so comparatively few peo-
pie realize the inroads that it has al
ready made on the health, morals and
possibilities of usefulness of our Amer
ican youth. One explanation Of this,
in my opinion, is contained in the fact
that very large number of physicians
in every community are addicted to
the cigaret and the inhaling habit, and
naturally are handicapped in the influ-
ence that they should exert in advis-
ing and suppressing this alarming evil.
It is seldom that one meets medical
student who is not banefully addicted
to this vice, and once the cigaret hab-
it becomes established its servitu;'e is
almost certain and unending.
The writer of this article has no
grievance against the rational, reason
able and normal use of tobacco by
those who have reached an age when
the period Of physical growth and de-
velopment has been passed, AMI who
can honestly provide the means Of in
dulging in habit that, while not to
be indiscriminately commended, is in
the opinion of most physicians COM
paratively harmless under such condi-
tions.
| The writer in using terms irrational
and normal" means that the one in
dulg'ny In THIS habit shall never lnhale
the smoke. Much misapprehension
exists in the public mind on the sub
ject of the cigaret. We hear it stated
not infrequently that the cigaret is
deadly, because it contains opium, or
because the paper wrapper is very in
furious am persuaded that the rea.
sons assigned are quite incorrect
The manufacturer could not aff)rd to
put opium in his product at the price
he receives for his goods. None of the
cheaper grades OF cigarets contain OPT
um or any of its products. The Gig
aret is deadly because it breeds the in
haling habit, which is the foundation
of all the evils that accompany indul

"What do statistics show?' inquired
the man who was warning up to his
subject.
"As a rule" answered the man who
is always doubtful, "they don't show
much except patience and industry on
the part of the man who collected
them."

CURED OF HIS CLUB.

II would be very happy if my hus-
band would not spend so many of his
evenings at the club" said Mrs. Bride,
with sigh.
"Why don't you try the suspicion
cure" said her intimate friend.
"What is the suspicion cure?" ask
ed Mrs. Bride.
"Well, my husband once got into
the habit of sp ,nding his evenings at
his club, and I worried myself i'll.
Then I changed my tactics. Instead
of asking him to remain at home l
urged him to go to the club. The way
he raised his eyebrows the first time
I suggested it showed that was on
the right track.
Zone night he said he had severe
headache and would remain at home.
l opposed the idea and insisted that
an evening at his club would make
him forget his headache. He gave
me hard look, but acted on the sug-
gestion. I knew he would be back
within an hour, so made an elaborate
toilet. He returned, as I expected,
with the plea that it was worse. | ig-
nored his question concerning my
toilet. He hasn't been away from the
house an evening since. 1t is almost
like the old honeymoon, only he ap-
pears to have something on his mind. :"

PLENTY OF HAPPY MARRI.
AGES.

Religion, as we'll as instinct, teaches
that woman's proper sphere is in full
filling the duties of wife and mother,
but our boasted civilization and pro-
gress have created so many unforeseen
complications that exceptions to the
rule are recognized by all who take
the trouble to consider the matter.
Our system of education, our methods,
our varied and various environments,
have taken the women as we'll as the
men away from the sweet simplicity
that prevailed in the more primitive
times and places. Having created, as
it were, new conditions and new cir
cumstances, we should be foolish in
deed not to recognize them.
In spite Of all the changes, however,
the woman who thinks is always long
ing tor the ideal partner, and the man
is always looking for the ideal woman.
And it sometimes happens-indeed, it
happens more frequently than the
cynic is willing to admit-that they
find each other, and when that is the
case they give to their friends and
neighbors examples of unadulterated
happiness and content that might we'll
be envied.
A man may appear to his friends
and acquaintance to be lacking in all
the qualities that make one attractive;
he may seem to be commonplace and
ugly; he may be awkward and ungain-
ly; he may be lacking in every element
that makes for show; and yet he may
make an ideal husband. In fact, very
few gifts are necessary to produce such
a result. All that a woman asks may
be summed up in two words-tender-
ness and consideration. And there
are more men who possess these quail
ties than the world at large is aware of.
Loose and ill-considered divorce
laws promote indiscriminate marriages;
both parties to the contract feel that
the law will absolve them from it with
little or no trouble; but apart from
this fruitful source of trouble, there
are as many happy marriages now as
there ever were.-Atlanta Constitution.
