CIGARETTE is BANISHEO
FROM KOKOMO SCHOOLS
Crusade of Prof. R. A. Ogg Has
Resulted in an Army of 5000
Nonusers of Tobacco.
EFFECTS OF THE WEED

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
KOKOMO, Ind, March 19.-After pro-
longed crusade, Professor r. A. Ogg, super
intendent of the Kokomo schools, has ban
ished the cigarette from the public schools.
Kokomo now has an army of 1900 pupils
pledged against the use of tobacco in every
form. Professor Ogg has made study Of
the evil effects of cigarette smoking among
children and. aided by the faculty and
Board of Education, began a war of ex-
termination against the weed. AS a result
of several courts of inquiry about score
of tobacco dealers were arrested for selling
to children in violation OF law. The boys
were made to tell where they bought to-
bacco and ii is now IN impossfblllty Tor
boys under sixteen years of age TO buy
tobacco in this place. and the cigarette
habit is entirely broken up in the schools.
Speaking of the effects on pupils of cigar
cite smoking Professor Ogg said:
THE effect of the habitual use of to-
bacco is manifest in various ways. The
deterioration is apparent In the pupil, NOR
ally, mentally and physically. 1t is shown
in his monthly grades. in his conduct and
actions in the study and recitation rooms
and in his general appearance. We have
had boys two years behind the grades OF
nonusers of the same age and in all cases
the users were far behind. Some were
shamed out by their low grades and quit
school.
aside from their grades it was not hard
to distinguish between the users and non
users. The users dul-eyed. sullen,
stupid, listless, pale-cheeked, inattentive.
thoughtless. petulant, drowsy. slow of COM
prehension with no ambition to succeed
I'm anything. An examination of the grades
kept by the teachers will prove an UNI
answerahle argument against the use of
cigarettes among children. These records
were carefully made, and there is no guess
work about them Since the cigarette has
been Nbanished the grades of the former
users are coming up, the Improvement be-
ing very marked and satisfactory"

Mr.. SIMS HAS NOT GONE
TO IOWA TO GET A WIFE
Injustice Done the Popular Chair
man of the Ninth Congressional
District.
AN UNFOUNDED RUMOR

Special to the indianapolis Journal
FRANKFORT Ind, March 19.-An in
justice has been done Fred A. Sims, the
popular chairman of the Ninth district Re-
publican committee He has actually been
accused of having matrimonial intentions.
A rumor was current this afternoon That
he had slipped out of the State and would
bring back wife. An investigation was
at once made, and your correspondent can
say. on the best of authority, that the re-
port is untrue. Mr.. Sims is so well known
that anything concerning him is of vital
interest to the people of Frankfort, and
when the report was circulated there was
much gossip.
One young woman said: Mr. Sims is
a confirmed bachelor. L have no hope of
his redemption. He is very popular with
all of u.s. but if he has ever proposed
do not know IT.
Another manageable woman said: IL
think all the young women of Frankfort
recognized the fact that Mr.. Sims is proof
against their Establishments. There is not
one who would dare to take advantage OF
leap year, because he has become fixed
in his bacheorhood / like him very much,
but he has never given me encouragement.
II he has gone out of the State to seek
a wife it will be surprise
One of Mr.. Sims's closest masculine
friends exploded the canard. and put him
right befort the people of the city by stat
ing that Mr. Sims had merely gone with
party to Fort Madison, Ia, to attend
the wedding of A. B. Carrot and Miss
Star Brewster, which will take place in
that city next Wednesday. ''You can say,
on my authority, that Mr.. Sims is loyal
to his district and city, and that the girls
of Frankfort need not feel they have been
sighted. 1t is true Mr.. Sims is a bachelor
there c there and
Mr.. Sims may yet be won from the state
of single blessedness."
