BOYS AND TOBACCO.

Washington Times.-in Germany the
use of tobacco by boys under Is is pro-
hibited by laws which are rigidly ca
forced.
In the Ecole Polytechnique of France
it was found that nonsmokers took the
highest rank in every grade, and that
smokers continually lost grade. Hence
the use of tobacco was prohibited in
the public schools.
1t is also prohibited in our govern
ment schools of Annapolis and West
Point. Hundreds of boys apply for ad-
mission to the naval academy and one
fifth OF all who az examined are reject
eS on account of heart dis ease, which
the surgeons say is caused by smoking
cigarettes.
DR.. A. E. ellison of the United States
navy gives the following testimony as
TO the effects of smoking tobacco upon
the students:
/. 1t leads to impaired nutrition OF
the nerve centers.
2 1t is a fertile cause of neuralgia,
vertigo and Indigestion.

and thus destroys the purity Of the

4. BY excitation Of the optic nerve

fects of vision.
5. 1t causes a tremulOus hand and

FEDERALL LAW MAKERS.

Washington, d. c., Jan. At is
now Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin
Through the medium of Senator
Spooner, his colleague, his credentials
were presented today, and on the arm
Of his old time enemy he was escorted
TO the vice presidents chair and took
the oath of office. After LaFollette
had been sworn in, Spooner introduced
him to several senators and accom-
panied him to his chair The senate
discussed at some length a proposition
to reprint a magazine article entitled
A Democrat in the Philippines, by Mr..
Newlands, and also a resolution for
the regulation of senate patronage.
Both were adopted. A resolution call
ing for information concerning the
status of affairs in Santo Domingo
was presented by Mr.. Tillman, who
made an unsuccessful effort to secure
immediate consideration of it.
The cause of the Filipino was ad-
vocated on the floor of the house by
the republican leader, Mr. Payne, for
nearly four hours today. He pre-
scented the views of the majority of the
ways and means committee on the
Philippine tariff bill reducing the
duties on sugar and tobacco to %
per cent of the Dingley tariff rates
and admitting other products of the is
lands to the United States free of
duty. Before ne began and follow
ing Mr.. Payne's speech brief discus
sions indicated that there is to be a
protracted debate on the measure and
that the republican opponents, repre-
senting the cane and beet sugar inter
ests of this country will speak and
vote against the bill. Acting on a
printed charge that members of the
house were sending Libraries and all
manner of articles free through the
mails, the house instructed its post
office committee 70 make an investiga-
ton as to whether members are abus'
ing the ranking privilege.

Washington, Jan. S.-The senate
gave attention to the Panama canal,
the situation in SanJo Domingo and
the merchant marine shipping bill
The canal question came up in con-
nection with a message from the
president, in which among other things
he invited the closest scrutiny into all
that had been done by the government
on the isthmus of Panama Senator
German made that utterance the text
for a speech in which he criticized sae
salaries paid for work in connection
with the canal and urged congression-
al inquiry. He said the president was
not so much to blame as congress for
his assumption of control on the
isthmus, and that the chief mistake
had been made when congress re-
leased it's hold upon canal affairs
Senator Hale agreed with Senator Cor
man in urging an assertion OF the
rights of congress in connection with
the canal and said that while congress
had delegates the matter TO the presi-
dent, the latter practically had refer
red the whole matter back to con
gress. The Dominion discussion
arose on Senator Tillman's resolu-
tions making inquiry of the president
concerning the status of affairs in the
island republic. The resolution was
made the basis for a speech by Sena-
tor Rayner, which was his initial effort
in the senate. He argued for non
interference By the United States in
the affairs of other countries in the
western hemisphere, except in cases
involving efforts to appropriate ter
ritory, and closed with a plea for en-
couragement to the Russian Jews in
their struggle for their rights in Rus
STA. Senator Gallinger opened the
debate on the merchant marine ship
ping BILL presenting an extensive ar
ray of figures in support of that meas
ure. He said the entire cost OF the
proposed subsidy for the ten years
contemplated would be ABOUT 100000
900. A new measure for the regula-
ton of railroad rates was introduced
by Senator Morgan. The bill makes
