dress was in part a. follows:
THE statement Of the Iberia
Building Association for tho year
1903 shows q marked increase in
every respect, and the salient fea-
lures Of this report are peculiarly
gratifying.
You will notice that q, the begin
ming Of the year 1908, the Associ-
alton had on deposit the very large
sum of @62, 1888. A. The depository
paid . reasonable interest thereon
but this money was not active to
the extent Of ito full earning caps-
city. On the First Of January. 1904,
the Association had in bank 418,
482. 80 which is about the amount
of cash that an institution Of this
size and character should always
have available In otherwords, all
Of the funds Of the Iberis Building
Association are now working to
the best advantage for It's stock
holders. This showing is the better
because we have actually received
during the year 4153,495.1S, the
largest amount that We have ever
taken in during any one year. and
We have paid out 3197, 95O.69
which is almost t2O0, 10000 and is
IA, 1861 in excess Of our receipts.
Our assets were on tho First Of
January, 1904, e521, 200 90 snd On
the First Of January, 1908 >427,174.

assets have grown thus, our net
profits for 1908 are 31O, 2o5.7S lar.
ger than they were for the previous
year (Which We thought most ex-
cellent) and shows that the profits
Of the Association have kept pace
with its growth in assets. In this
connection, let 10 note that the
profits Of the Association are more
than ten per cent. Of It's assets.
During the last two years, the
growth Of the Association has been
wonderful, - the assets on Jan.
1902, were 1884, 384.O5 and the
profits a. shown BY the report fol-
Jan. lst, 1902 (belng for the year
1901 were e29, 311.OS From which
yoa will sec that the Association'a
profits have almost doubled IN the
past two years. The number OF
shares in force on Jan. lat, 1904,
were TOLL - against 6207 ~ shown
By the statement Of Jan. lat, 1908.

the combustion of the tobacco. Here
is paragraph FROM Mr.. Hubbelrs ar
ticle:
The London Lancet. one of the most
reliable medical journals published il
The English language, has recently
stated that the most deleterious pro-
duct in the combustion of tobacco is
carbon monOXide, which is the deadly
constituent of water gas, and is pres
ent in comparativel large quantities
in tobacco smoke. This is the poison
that is responsible for the utter demOr-
alizatiOn of that unhappy individual
who has come to be known as the ci-
garette tiehd, whose pale face, shat
tered nerves and hopeless position in
the community is recognized as ap-
plying to many of our American
youth, whose opportunity for useful
ness and happiness has passed away.
1t is by presenting such facts as
these that parents may keep their
boys from contracting a habit that is
so alluring. so enslaVing and so ruin

n hostile territory. 1t further indl-
.ates that Russia proposes to remain
,n the defensive for some time, at
empting no extensive operations in
Korea.
The viceroy's decision is proof of the
lnreadiness of Russia for an agrees
5ive campaign at this time. The
change amounts to a retreat: and as
such is clearly prOphesies a long war.
Japan, to advance profitably into
Manchuria. must at least reduce Port
