Smoking.

The old school OF smokers do Meth

A smoker OF this class is addicted TO
a habit which IL exercised with mod
GRAFTON Is in many ways comfort
wherewith TO pass smoothly over the
rough places In life. He draws the
soothing smoke into his mouth and
puffs IL out again In contemplative
fashion. at the expense OF neither his
companions nor the carpet beneath
his feet Here we have the cultured
smoker. but unfortunately there is a
declension from this type never met
with in polite society. who does little
harm to himself, but has great poten-
TALLY for injuring other people. He
begins early in life. He smokes TO
expectorate, and later expectorates TO
smoke The essential feature OF the
two classes OF smokers is very sim
pie but all-important one. Smoke
passes into their mouths-"thus far
and no further"
Ii is much otherwise with the third
and last class TO which | would refer.
He is the inhaler" pure and simple.
to whom smoke brings no Joy unless
tnat smoke Is carried 10 tne luHeTmOSl
recess OF his lungs. One has heard the
remark that cigarettes are not worth

this sub-habT that the cigarette owes
its popularity. Ii ranks with slim

the majority Of our young generation
are trending, and here lies the danger
which may be averted. Who has not
seen at one time or another the pale
faced. poorly nourished boy sending
forth clouds OF smoke from his lungs,
and to this end who has not heard
the appeal or seen the scramble for
what is vulgarly described as the
"fag?" Proverbially many things end
in smoke, but here begins In smoke a
force which stunts our youth, calls Oh
him TO live faster these fast days, and
that at the expense Of his finer moral

Fired by the discovery OF DR. Pierce,
OF Roxbury. that monkeys in Africa
FIJI each others teeth and kill aching
nerves with clay containing creo-
sote. our special Investigator made a
hurried trip to East Africa To confirm
this surprising story.
Monkeys do act as dentists and
have attained considerable :kill. In
the jungle. however. gas is not now
administered. the monkeys having
found that the moment they became
unconscious the dentists friend
slipped around TO their tree and
swIped all their cocoanuts. This. nat
urally, dealt death blow 70 the
science OF anesthetics.
Al the present moment there Is I'M
usual activity In jungle dental circles.
The monkeys are overworked. AL
most every lion In East Africa Is hav-
ing missing teeth replaced and blum
teeth sharpened to point. The cause
of the rush is apparently the pros
pective visit OF some famous hunter.
With the advance in human scien-
tifc achievement. hunting in the juE-
gle is becoming more agreeable. For
instance. the hunter has killed lion

cases. Again. If taking 1t on the jump

may hit the telegraph wire in one o.
his bounds and fall an easy pray
to the murcerous animal.
But II is not with the hunters We
would deal, but with the hunted. The
monkeys do not monopolize all the
trades and professions in the Jungle
The alfgetors are excellent black
smiths, and are busy just now putting
new armor plates on each other. Some
OF the new design plates will turn any
bullet. and a number of the foremost
alligators are about TO expose them

testing accurately the resistance OF
their hides. Furthermore there Ia a
