 Those scientists who are SUD- posed to really kn about these things, say the effect of tobacco smoking is very often shown in the redness and dryness of the mucous membrane of the throat, until smokers sore throat" is a distinct malady, as is also 'smok- CTS cOlic."
 Again the effects of tobacco on the heart are so well known that

merchants were willing to wait a month
two months, or even longer for pay for
merchandise; whereas, now they in large
proportion demand that cash accompany

A WEEKLY PAY DAY FOR THE
MUNICIPALITY.

Now that this municipality has gone
onto the basis of paying wages by the
week, we ought to hear nothing more Of
the complaint that the street and the
water departments cannot secure men
to work. Leastwise, that was the argu.
Inent advanced largely in favor Of this
pioneer move among Vermont munich
paltities. II was said that laborers would
not continue in the employ Of these two
departments because they couldn't draw
their wages four times, instead Of once,
month; and the work OF the depart
'ments was consequently hampered.
Whether or not this was the main rea-
son for the inability to keep workmen.
that reason i now destroyed, for Barre
goes on record as being equally progress
sive with the movement for weekly
pay In industrial corporations. The argu.
ment that workman should have his
money within reasonable time after
he earns it holds good in the case Of the
worker for the municipality as well a.
the worker for the business corporation
They are thus placed on an equal footing
