Why Cigarettes Are Injurious.

Claude s. woodley of Balti- more writes as follows: ''The real point in regard to tobacco is not how much is used. but the kind and how it Is used. that is to say, how much of it gets into the system. Now the cig- arette is usually. almost always, in- haIed into the lungs. the pipe and cigar rarely are. and cannot he with any comfort. Thus the cigarette smoke comes into contact with sev- eral square feet Of membrane in the lungs. divided from the blood by only a thin membrane. where very rapid absorption takes place. The cigar and pipe. or rather the smoke there from. are brought in the mouth into cuntact with only a few square inches of mucous absorbing surface: thus the amount actually absorbed. excepting that swallowed into the stomach. is very small. This is the real danger 0f the cigarette and I'y it's means. used tn this way the system enfaalned An a very serious bondage.

BROKE HIS NECK
Rope Broke and Painter Was
 Precipitated 10 the Ground.

Joseph Bevacque. a painter, was instantly killed about 10:30 o'clock this morning while at work on a building belonging to Tony Mem primo of Bridge street, almost op- posite Pemberton street. With an- other workman he was sitting on a ladder which was suspended from hooks fastened to the roof of the building when one of the ropes broke, letting the end of the ladder on which Bevacque was seated down with crash, while the other end was held up, thus enabling the man at that point to cling to it and descend to the ground in safety.
 Bevacque fell upon a mortar tub and other truck and suffered d broken neck and fracture of the right wrist and collar bone; three ribs were also broken. He was car ried into the Membrino residence, next door to where the accident oc- cured. where Medical Examiner Crane conducted an examination. The doctor, accompanied by Police Officer Flaherty, also went onto the top of the structure and took a piece of the broken rope away in his pocket.

The foreman of the job disappeared as soon as the accident happened, stat ing that he was going to get physi- clan, and as he hadn't returned while the medical examiner was there it was decided to make another visit u the premises.
