 As usual. the maximum official tenn peratures were exceeded by those pre- valing in the crowded streets. where the actual temperature frequently ex- ceeded 100 degrees. T
 The cumulative effect of the torrid ity of these days was painfully evident in the enormous increase of the num- Der of deaths in New York. While the death roll of Tuesday was only 26, that of yesterday reached the appall- ing total of 75. being nearly half of those prostrated. total of l67.
 Among the distressing incidents of the day was the killing of her infant in Brooklyn by young woman who was suddenly driven insane by the heat. She stabbed the child to death and then made a vain attempt on her own life.

us the world has been on the wrong
track for generations. and that nicot-

the and the other ills
which aflict the habitual smoker. The
Injurious property is, it seems, carbon
monoXide gas, which is the very con-
stituent that is dangerous in common
water gas. The smoker should know,
then. that in consuming n ounce OF
tobacco he produces one whole pint OF
carbon monoxide, which is a very fear
some thing. The cigarette, the object
of execration by all good men and
women, especially women. produces very
little OF the monoxide, but if the prac-
tice of inhaling is followed. the deadly
gas goes straight to the blood in tho
lungs, turns it pink and poisons it,
The cigar is the great producer of the
obnoxious gas. and would be more
harmful than the pipe were it not for
the pipes incurable flthineSS.
Nicotine, according to some investi-
gators. is not present at all in tobacco.
but the scientists are agreed that there
is something bad about tobacco. what
ever its name may be. While the SCI
entists quarrel about the effects of to-
bacco. the sales are growing at so rapid
a rate all over the world that the peo-
pie seem to be rushing blindly to their
own destruction, unmindful and re-
CARELESS of their own doom. And the
hardened smoker believes that this is
q case where ignorance is bliss"
