People i'm Fifth Ward Complaining
About Sewer Assessment

Residents of the Fifth ward have a
grievance. They claim that the as
sessments levied against the property
owners in that ward have net been
made in a fair manner. that the ap-
praisers did not examine an of the
property which would be liable for the
construction of the Fifth ward sewer
and that in a number of these in
stances, as consequence, the ap-
praisement was not in accord with the
true value of the property. 1t is a
question, however, whether the remOn-

the filing of complaints has passed.

Some SuDerstitionS.

To break Il mirror to many persons
indicates the death of the person who
last looked into the mirror or some Sc
riouS injury to that person. The SaE-
age tribes of nearly every country be
lievel that striking either the image or
the shadow of any person meant an i'll
Jury to that person. They believed
that the image or h shadow repre-
scented the spirit OF 4 person, Il many
are the tales told of magicians who in
f1icted the injuries on persons they i'll
iicted on their images. To drop n stone
into water where the image Of a per-
son was reflected meant death or some
dire disaster.

WORD
FOR TOBACCO
Called Forth by Formation of Anti
smoking League In Chicago.

the Savannah (Ga) News.l
A new anti-smoking organization
was formed recently in Chicago, and
by circular IS calling the of
the people to the vast sums of none
they waste in smoke. eff the people
would cut these hundreds of millions
from their expenses" says the circu-
lar of the new organization, the av-
erage man would be able to live on a
Smaller sum and put up a larger saw
ings from his income" And that is
unquestionably true. The average
non-user OF tobacco regards tobacco
as a useless, ~senseless luxury. The
user Knows otherwise. But for the
sake Of argument it may be admitted
that tobacco is a luxury. and that it
could be dispensed with without in
jury to health.
But why should this one luxury be
singled out for attack while theirs are
left unnolested? Tea. also, is a lux
ury: So is sugar: SO is soffee; SO is
chocolate, and cakes and ice cream.
and candy, and Scda-water. None OF
these is necessary to human existence
Frills on dresses, feathers on hats,
gloves in are luxurious, since
they are not necessary to the proper
clothing of the human form.
AS a matter of fact the markets
| and marts are full of luXuries- 1t is
the Injuries that make life worth liv-
ing. 1t is the luxurieS that keep the
wheels OF commerce and industry NOV
ing. II we We're all confined TO the alb
sol,lte necesSaries, life would be duh
and Commonplace. and ambition would
be scotched in the beginning There
would be nothing to look forward to
but bread and to a and a
gunnysack ~wherewith to be clothed.
SUPPOSE, then. we propose to cut out
coffee, tea. sugar., and candy from
American consumption, and call them
wasteful and useless. The o OF
money they represent is much larger
than the AMOUNT represented by to
bacco each Year The annual bill for al
these things makes the annual bill for
smoking look like a plugged nickel
among gold pieces. Why, then, not cut
out the Injuries that cost most. and
thus allow the average man to save
still more from his earnings?
All, but those are our Injuries, say
the c~eforuaers: We need them; but
we do not need obacc and neither
should you.

most men think they are burning mon
ey when they pay 81. for a cigar. Sixty
cents for one cignr and from that
down to three for so cents is consid-
