M Mors claarettes In Indiana


From the Chicago Journal
How widespread and intense is the
conviction that the deadly cigarette
Is a menace to the national health is
shown by the action Of the Indiana
Senate. which has passed a bill maxi
ing it unlawful TO own sell, or give
away cigarettes. cigarette wrappers. or
cigarette tobacco.
Under this excellent law a fine Of
$50 may be imposed for the first Of
fence. and for the second and subse-
quent onenses the fine may be doubled

six months added.
The bill passed the Senate by a vote
.of 35 to Z, a majority large enough to
show that public sentiment I'm Indiana
is overwhelmingly against the cigar

show "a similar state OF feeling. Wher-
ever the cigarette habit exists its ef-
fects are the same, and observation
of them is certain to create the same

The cigarette habit is more danger

other addiction. Drink destroys its

cocaine causes violent insanity within
four or five years, and opium I'm any
Of its forms gives hardly a longer
shift. All Of them almost Immediately
produce effects upon the brain that
can be instantly recognized by others
and so guarded against.
But the cigarette slave may go along
poisoning his body and mind for years
without betraying himself by violence
but all the time he Is just as danger
GUS as though he were crazed by
whiskey, cocaine, or morphine For
his moral sense is slowly but certainly
disintegrating his judgement is becom-

AS a matter of fact, he is insane
though the ordinary superficial OBJ

sanity manifests itself in crime.
Often il is never so manifested and
the cigarette slave manages to get
through life with a reputation TO-

miserable by physical and menta

that comes from consciousness o
opportunities willfully lost. And h'

JUMPED 70 SAVE THEIR LIVES
Firemen Had Narrow Escape at TOdd's
Cut.


Five men employed at the round house
at Todd's Cut had a narrow escape from
death while at work last night at that
place.
They were in a coal car that had been
run up on the tracks over the coal chute
shoveling out its contents, when a shift
ing engine backed into the car and started
it towards the end Of the tracks.
The tracks are about thirty feet high
and at the end there is a sheer drop Of
thirty feet. The men, when they saw
their danger, climbed up the sides Of the
car and jumped off landing in the snow
piles along the ground and thus escaping
with only a severe shaking up one of
their number however, Harry Rash Of
No. 9l4 Lancaster avenue, could not get
out in time and went over the end Of the
tracks with the car.
As the car fell it tipped up on its end
and pitched Rash in a snowbank spraining
his leg and injuring his arm. He was
brought to the Emergency Hospital at
the French street station and later sent
home.

Sidewalks Covered With Ice,

Slush

The weather man furnished yesterday
everything that was disagreeable in the
shape OF weather except snow and ex-
treme cold. The latter is, on its way here
and will probably reach here by tomorrow
morning.
Everybody growled and felt justified in
doing so. There were dull gray skies above
an atmosphere loaded with moisture,
which was precipitated In the shape of
rain. and wound up with a heavy fog at
night. But il was under foot that the
weather man did his worst work. The
mild weather and the rain combined to
turn the snow into a muddy slush. The
streets and sidewalks were almost inn
passable, the former because they were
ankle-deep in slush, and the latter be-
cause they were so slippery that it was
with great difficulty that pedestrians could
keep their footing Brick sidewalks, as
usual: we're covered with a thin sheet of
ice. over which was thin coating Of

A pedestrian who had gained a little
confidence while going over stone pave

acrobatic feats as soon as he struck a
brick section. His jaunty walk was
changed to a cautious shuttle. Suddenly
his umbrella would be thrown into the
street and the man would indulge in a
combination of a cake walk and High
land fling, which afforded much amuse-
ment TO the bystanders and was usually
brought to a close by the performers tax
ing a sudden and forcible seat in puddle
of icy water. No encoros were responded
to.

hrate the birth OF Abraham Lincoln

Ninety-slx years ago he opened his
ewes TO the light OF this world in the
rudest sort OF a little cabin home in
the mountains Of Kentucky. No Amer-
can youth ever began "a career under
more unpromislng surroundings. His
family was far out OF tho drift OF the
affairs OF the world. in every home
around there was dense Ignorance and
absolute poverty. Scarcely a newspaper
ever entered those homes, and 10 mat
tered little, FOR few could spell out the
words it contained.
Many a household owned no book but
the Bible and usually that was left to
the interpretation OF some wandering
preacher. or to that rarer bird OF flight.

tucky cabins was too primitive for US

was devoted to securing enough TO eat

Here the boy grew up as a mere
healthy animal. without an intellectual
spur -ithout meeting a soul who had
developed In the school Of modern
civilization. Truly this was an unlikely
beginning for a seer and philosopher
And while that boy in his homespun
garments was growing up like a
healthy weed there were IN the palaces
Of Europe a number Of young princes,
surrounded with the luxuries and the
culture OF the respective empires. There
were tutors TO instruct them. whole
libraries to catch their fancies and de-
velop their tastes, great musicians to
dnspire them and great artists to de-
Nelop ideas Of the beautiful.

tive thrones, even as the little Ken

pie. and an Of them have passed away
