sENTECE SERMONS.

There's a lot of difference be-
tween having money and hoping
to be saved by it.
You never will have the priv
lege of SYMPATHY without the
price of suffering.
The lives of some of its friends
hurt religion more than the logic
of its foes.
Perfection is a good deal more
than the power of picking faults
in other people.
You may know by it's warmth
and cheer whether mans light
comes from heaven.
Some people never display
their retiring dispositions except
in the face of an enemy.
Lots of men can outline bril-
liant national quality who make a
failure of ordinary percentage.
If.you go to church for the
sake of your coat you are likely
to leave your heart at home.

THE TOP SOIL.

The value of top soil as COM
pared with subsoil is not under
stood as it ought to be. If the
great contrast between the two
was sufficiently impressed upon
many, they would use every
reasonable effort to keep surface
soil in place. 1t may be carried
away by wind or water, especially
the latter. This explains why in
so many soils the low places are
so much more productive than
the higher land. Soil and humus
have been carried downward,
leaving the high lands COM
paratively unproductive. Such
denudation may be checked ma
terially, if not entirely prevented
by blowing along the slope,
rather than up and down it; by
keeping the land we'll stocked
with grass roots, and by refrain
ing from working the land as
far as this may be possible during
the season when denudation is
most likely to occur.

HOW TO EAT ALRIGHT.

Here are Horace Fletcher's
rules for eating, which are given
to all patients of the Harvard
Dental School dispensary, says
Worlds Work:
Eat only in response to an &C.
tual appetite, which will be sat-
isfied with plain bread and but
ter.
Chew all solid food until it is a
liquid and practically swallows
itself.
Sip and taste all liquids that
have taste, such as soup and
lemonade. Water has no taste
and can be swallowed immediate
ly.
Never take food when angry
or worried and only when calm.
Waiting for the mood in connec.
ton with the appetite is a speedy
cnre for both anger and worry.
Remember and practice these
four rules and your teeth and
health will be fine.

TWO WAYS.

There are two ways to start on
life's journey. One is to begin
where your parents are ending
magnificent mansions, splendid
furniture, and an elegant turnout.
The other is to begin q little near
er where father and mother-of
blessed memory-began. You see
you can go up as easily and grace
fully, if events show it would be
safe; but it would be trying and
and awkard to come down. And
it costs much now to live. And
business fuctuates; and health is
uncertain, and temptations from
the side of pride are strong and
many a young man who did not
mean to be extravagant, has been
led along; and rather than face

take of beginning life at the top

VICTORY FOR TAMMANY.

New York, Nov. s. Sufficient
ly complete returns to make GER
tain the ultimate results show
that the Republican and indie

York county was defeated to-day
by a straight Democratic ticket;
that the Independence League
ticket for Associate Justices Of

of such a character is a virtuous,
fixed sense of moral obligation,
sustained and invigorated by the
fear and love of God. The
youth who possesses such a
character can be trusted. In
tegrity, justice. benevolence,
truth, are not with him, words
without meaning; he feels and
knows their sacred import and
aims in the tenor of his life to
exemplify the virtues they ex-
press. Such a man has deci-
sion Of character; he knows
what is right and is firm in pur-
suing it; he thinks and acts fol-
himself, and is not to be made
the tool of unprincipled and time
serving politicians to do the dirty
work of party. Such a man has
true worth of character; his life
is a blessing to himself, to his
family. to society and to the
world; and he is pointed out tt
future generations as a proper
example for the rising youth to
emulate.

WHEN THE WINNERS GO INTO
OFFICE.

Although City Attorney A. E.
Richards has not yet given his
opinion as to the exact date on
which James F. Grinstead will
be inaugurated as Louisville's
Mayor, the best opinion of law
yers generally is that Mr.. Grin
stead can be sworn in at any
time after he is given his certifi-
cate of election. 1t will proba-
bly, take the remainder of the
week to tabulate the vote, and
the belief is that Mr.. Grinstead
will enter upon the duties of his
office not later than next Tues
day, November IL.
The term of service of the pre-
sent General Council will expire
tomorrow night.
The next Governor of Ken
lucky will be inaugurated on the
first Monday in December, which
will be December 2. The Lieu
tenant Governor will take the
oath of office at the same time.
The remaining officers of the
State will enter upon their duties
in accordance with the State law,
on the first Monday in January,
which will be January 6. Times.

GOOD COUNSEL.

No young men can hope to

lily his part in life, without a
fair moral character. The basis

made noble efforts to put down
the promiscuous selling and use
of intoxicating liquors. Their
attempts have been very success
full, and especially has this been
true of Kentucky, where they
have succeeded in establishing
Local option in III out of the 119
counies in the State. This will
ever stand as a living monument
of honor, but while doing this,
they have overlooked another
great evil, which is equal to, if
not greater than whisky. This
evil is nothing more nor less
than the use of tobacco. Prac-
tically, no laws in Kentucky
have ever been made to restrict
its use. IT'S true that the eff
fects of tobacco are not so imme-
diately manifested as are the eff
fects of whisky, but still they
are far from being harmless, and
the crash must come sooner or
later. 1t steals it's effects upon
it's user, as the skulking murder
er upon his sleeping victims, who
lies unconscious of the approach
ing danger until the fatal blow is
struck. Then he only feels the
sting too late.
For the convenience of study,
we classify the effects of tobacco
upon the human system under
three heads, namely; Mental eff
fects, physical effects and moral
effects.
We shall now proceed to con-
slider the mental effects. They
are very marked. The brain is
dwarfed, and it's cells are paral-
yzed, and consequently their
force destroyed. The mind is
polluted and degraded, and the
highest mental f faculties are
greatly interfered with.
The boy who is addicted to the
use of tobacco can never hope to
have the vigor Of mind that he
would have had without it.
The will is also weakened by
the effects of tobacco, and the
user finds himself powerless to
stop the evil habit. 1t has been
quite truthfully said by some
great man, that the effects of to-
bacco upon the mental faculties,
are of the same nature as ma
MIA form of insanity
One has only to observe in pass
ing along the streets of our cities
and towns or to visit our insane
asylums in order to form some
conception of the more than evil
effects of tobacco on the mental
man as well as the physical and
moral.
Secondly, but not of less i'm
portance, let us consider the
physical effects. No one will
dare to dispute that they are
very apparent. especially is this
true of the young. Even those
who defend it's use by adults, do
not hesitate to condemn it's use
by those who have not attained
their maturity.
The bones in a boy who uses
tobacco do not properly develop.
Doubtless the adult suffers equal
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1907-11-13

hu man body hence, it
must be destructive to both life
and health.
Some Physicians say that to-
bacco Injuries the periosteum that
covers and feeds the bones, and
gives rise to serious bone dis
eases. 1t has been found that
the broken bones of habitual to-
bacco users heal badly.
Tobacco also has a very injuri-
GUS effect upon the senses Of
sight, taste and hearing. Acute
eyesight is absent in the tobacco
fiend, his sense of taste blunted,
thereby being rendered almost
totally incapable of distinguish
ing f1avors.
Smoking frequently brings on
cancer of the throat by its con-
slant irritating effects upon the
mucous membrane. Tobacco has
a specific effect upon the heart.
It poisons its muscle, and causes
it to beat less forcibly. The
nerves are poisoned the heart
fails to beat tremendously, and
as a consequence, the user suf-
fers from palpatation. Aside
from the evil effects already
mentioned, it has a general effect
upon the stomach and the nerv-
Gus system.
Lastly, l wish to present a few
thoughts on the moral effects of
tobacco, not that l wish to pose
as moralist, but | do desire to
bring along with the dwarfed
mind and stunted body the
warped moral character. Any
thing that affects the mental and
physical man affects the moral
man, because they are indissol-
ubly bound together.
Having spoken of its effects on
the mental faculties, I desire to
say that it is through the infuen-
ces which it exerts on the will
that it is most harmful.
A man with weak will is not
master of himself, hence, he falls
a victim to his passions and the
caprices of his more than prob
able immoral companions.
After thirteen years expert
ence as teacher have invariably
found that those boys who used
tobacco in my school, were
looser in their moral habits than
those who did not.
The tobacco bespattered walls
of our churches and school
houses show that there is some
thing morally wrong with the
man or boy who INDUCES him
self in the socalled luxury. /
once heard Mrs. Beauchamp, the
great Kentucky temperance lect-
urer, in speaking to the boys of
Kentucky State College, make
this assertion; You give a rab-
bit a chew Of tobacco, and being
no moral coward, he spits it out,
but only offer it to a boy and he
is not enough of a gentleman to
keep from eating it."
Doubtless there will be many
