SMOKING BRINGS
ON DYSPEPSIA.

One cause OF the prevalence of dys-
pepsia nowadays is smoking and dys-
pepsia acts as a brake on an ambitious
woman and blot on a pretty one.
And yet, few women will believe that
the red nose of dyspepsia is secondary
to their habit of smoking.
In strict moderation, smoking is ap-
parently harmless. but what is modern
tion? -Four cigarettes a day cannot
possibly be the cause of my ill-health,"
plaintively asserts the martyr TO pal
pitation and Indigestion. But nicotine
effects different people in varying de-
grees. Two cigarettes a day is excess
for the neurotic woman, who should
never smoke at all.
when women begin to smoke, they
like 10 do IL thoroughly, and a visit
TO the smoking room OF any OF the
women's clubs is sufficient TO prove TO
the observer that the dangerous habit
OF inhaling is far too common. Most
people have hazy glimmering OF the
fact that much smoking, especially ac-
companied by inhaling. is bad thing.
The physical effects OF tobacco are
due TO an alkaloid nicotine, which acts
chiefly upon the heart. causing irregu-
lar action, and producing the condition
known as smokers heart The girl
who is an habitual smoker undermines
her health and units herself for work.
frequent complaint OF the smoker
Is loss of mental tone and inability TO
concentrate the attention Nervous
symptoms will be more apparent In
woman smoker than a man. because
woman's nervous organization is OF
more delicate order, and more easily
upset.
That smoking. even in moderation,
is harmful TO women is very probable.
There are many who assert that babit-
ual smoking has a deterIorating effect
on the race, and IL parents OF both
sexes smoke, IL would follow that the
children would be physically inferior
TO the children of nonsmokers, other
things being equal.

SCHOOLBOYS OF JAPAN.

Japanese schoolboys in every way diff
fer from those OF other nations. They
are an example to most boys In being ex-
ceedingly polite to one another and very
rarely quarreling
A true story is told OF an English lady
who. visiting Japan, was staying In a
house which overlooked a boys school
She used TO watch them playing I'm the
playground, and was very much sur
prised 10 find how polite and obedient
they were. they never seemed 10 disagree
and always appeared SO bright and hap
py.
A few days after she happened to be
introduced to the head master and asked
him IL his boys ever fought and quar-
relied among themselves. He replied,
with an air OF one who Is deeply hurt,
Honorable lady, our skins may be
browner than your own. but we are not
savages"

FINGER NAIL GROWTH.

II is well known that In certain diseases
there are very marked variations In the
growth OF the finger nails. both I'm length
and thickness Recently a Japanese
scientist has been making study of the
variations OF the thickness OF the hair.
He finds that the hair Is Influenced by the
health much as the nails are and that
anything which lowers the general health
OF the subject tends TO decrease the
thickness of the hair Thus the length
OF the affected part or the thinner por-
tion OF the hair will give an Idea of the
duration OF n malady, and even OF slight
affections The variations are moro
strongly marked In the case of coarse
haired races than OF others. Provided
the hair has never been cut. the subject
would have his pathologic history writ

Interest Growing in State Tennis
Tourney at Town and Coun-
try Club.

The annual tournament for the state
tennis championship will be played at
the Town and Country club, st. Paul,
beginning Aug. l8 and continuing all
the following week. Much interest is
being taken in this tournament and
entries from all over the state are pour
ing in, nearly, every. club sending two
or more representatives.
The st. Paul players have their hearts
set on beating out the older Minneap-
oils contestants but they will have their
hands full when it comes to contesting
with such well known experts as the
Beldens,' Ward Burton, Trafford Jayne
and Shelby Thompson. .''''
OF these Minneapolis players Burton
is perhaps the best and has. played
against the best men in the country. In
the Western tournament at Chicago he
has always shown up strongly, and on
two different occasions has reached the
semifnals. Mr.. Burton entered the New
port tournament last season and was
beaten by Blair, who is considered one
of the best players in America when
George Belden is another Minneapolis
PLAYER who has gained fame and when
in his prime was a wonder. At one
time Belden ranked tenth in the Off
cial standing of the National Lawn
Tennis association. His most noted vic
tory was when with partner he de-
feated Ward and Davis at, the Newport
tournament. Trafford Jayne made rec
ord in Minnesota last year after, land

Fully 1000 people witnessed the first
yacht races Of the championship series
of the Calhoun club yesterday after
noon and, the day being ideal, with
plenty Of wind, everything was success

other boats and was disqualified. The
Skiddoo, sailed by Hawkins, then took
first place, in 1:l9:20. Dona, sailed by
Kelly, second, in l:23:0s: Caramel Kid,
lain, sailed by Krawshaw, met with an

by Janney, which was the only boat

Hiawatha, and also went against time,
covering the distance in 1:45:20, taking
first honors. ,r.
In the open class, only two boats
were entered, the Grace, sailed by Hag-
erty, and the Tramp, sailed by Piche.
The Grace won, 1:34:O5, and the
Trump 8 time was l:37:1s.

MIME 7 ONkANS LOOK
. TO INLAND REGATTA
Oshkosh Is in the Eye Of the M.
B. G. Sailors Just
Now.

Now that the White Bear -Minneton-
ka sailboat regatta is over, shippers,
mainsheetmen, roustabouts and long
shoremen of the Minnetonka Boat club
are looking forward to the Inland Lake
Yacht association regatta on Lake
Oshkosh, beginning Aug. 81.
In spite Of the fact that the White
Bear sailors took the class A cup, !,
which the local sailors so fondly hoped
boat Minnetonka, everybody is pleased
over the outcome of the regatta
The Wheat Bear sailors and boats
have national reputation. Not year
has passed since the. Inland Lake
Yachting association was organized but
that the sailors from White Bear have
carried away at least one of the prizes.
Her sailors have been schooled in the
art from infancy. To win the B class
cup over them by a good margin is
glory enough for Minnetonka for one
year.
But the local tiller handlers are not
going to be satisfied with that 50 long
as there is anything more in sight. They
are going to begin now to win both
A and B class cups as Oshkosh. In the
B class Minnetonka has two boats that
would make the representatives of the
other clubs put on the last inch OF
like surface to beat. They are the Ter
rier, Lewis Glass boat and the Path
finder, now owned by Albert Vandever.
Last year the Pathfinder, by the con-
sent Of every sailor on the inland lakes,
was the best B boat at the Inland Lake
regatta. She was ruled out Of first
place on foul.
feated the Pathfinder in the majority
Of races, so she is nearly on a par with
last years champion. Vandever has
purchased new jib for his boat. and
is going after the Terrier with all the
speed he can squeeze out of his cloth
and hull. Roy Wagner, who sailed the
boat to victory last year has enlisted
in Vandever's crew, which ought to
help some.
If the Pathfinder wins all the subse-
| quent club races she will be chosen to
represent the Minnetonka Boat club at
the Oshkosh races.
A great many of Minnetonka g sail
| ing enthusiasts are Of the opinion that
| because of the Minnetonka s poor show
ing against the Cambria, she is out of
the running as the clubs representa-
tive for Oshkosh. But such is not by
any means the case. The crew is dead
sure that the fault Of the syndicate
boat is with her mainsal. So sure are
they that a new sail has already been
ordered and will be on the boat within
ten days.
This means that the series Of hard
fought battles that took place between
| the Minnetonka and the Delta before
| the interlake regatta win be resumed.
The club races for the remainder Of
the season will be the most interesting
and exciting Of the year. At this time
4 Of the season there is most always q
wind and it is usually strong and
steady.
