Cigarette Smoking on the Increa.

Consumption of cigarettes increased
largely in the United States during the
last fiscal year ended June 80, 1908.
according to the preliminary annual
statement of internal revenue receipts.
Tobacco revenues generally fell of, the
public smoking fewer cigars than tie
preceding year, taking less snuff and
chewing less. But more cigarettes of
all kinds were used.
Less spirits were used than in 1907,
the heaviest falling off being in the
spirits distilled from grain, the reve-
nue. on which declined over 100000.
This would indicate large decline IN
whisky consumption. The beer bust
ness, however, continued to grow in
spite of the depression.
The total decrease in internal reve-
nue., as compared with the preceding
fiscal year, was $17,99S,072.

THE ROAD TO WEALTH.
1t Is the First Thousand That Counts
and Is Hardest to Get.


The thing that counts said a man
of independently large means accumu-
lated by hard work, saving and wise
investments. lis the first thousand 1Ol
lars. When you've got that amount
together you are beginning to get some
where, and with that start you viii
want TO keep on. The red ink interest
ertries that you see put down in your
savings bank book twice a year will
strike you very pleasantly indeed. As
interest on your thousand dollars you'll
get $50 or $40 in a year; your money
has begun earning money for voc.
you've got an income now and you'll
want to add to it. You will leave that
interest in the bank to be added to
your principal, and now your interest
viii begin to draw interest, and to be
sure you will keep right on adding TO
your principal, too, and every six
months you'll see those red figures
growing bigger and bigger pretty fig
ures to contemplate, and you'll keep
right along saving But the thing that
really counts is the first thousand dol
lars. Get that and you're all right.
And you'll always be glad you save
It.
For there really is nothing like fill
ancial independence, or like having ut
least some money laid by. Then, if you
want money, you've got it. You don't
have to go TO friends to borrow and
take the risk of being refused, the risk
of being compelled to go without what
you need. If you've got money in Inc
bank you can go there'and get it. There
might come a time when you would
| need money for your family or for
yourself very much; it's grand ching
to have it where you can get it.
There's nothing mean about being
saving and accommodating money: on
| the contrary, it is every mans duty
| to make himself financially indeI2nd-
| emit | don't mean at all that 4 man
wants to set out to accumulate great
wealth; there's no fun in that. But
what he does want to do is to get TO-
gether enough to live on mOdestly.'--

swans are less common than the mutes

Trick the Harvard lsmpoon Played
on the Crimson.
Speaking of the Crimson, Harvard's
daily newspaper. reminds every Har-
ward man of the Lampoon's master
stroke-or jolIe-played on that digni-
fed and unsuspecting sheet on Me-
mortal day. 1901. The Crimson had
announced that it would not appear on
that holiday. but inconspicuously, so
son at their door that morning as usu
al. Their surprise began, however,
when they scanned its contents. This
always serious sheet seemed to have
become most frivolous and irrespOnsi-
BILE during the night, for in its columns
all sorts of weird and fantastic state
ments appeared.
The news, though clothed in the usu-
al heavy, dignified Crimson style, was
wildly revolutionary in character.
Among the items that appeared were:
"a Plot to Blow Up Memorial Hall"
Strong Men to Get the Varsity H."
wellesley Crew to Be Guests of the
University" and most important of all
notice. "Lampoon Celebration at Z
Tonight" Then the joke came out.
The Lampoon had published the ia
nous flake Crimson the joke was
known throughout the country, and
that night Lampy's sanctum was the
scene of bacchanalian revelry. When
the following year the Crimson editors
sat up all night with injunctions
against a repetition of the fake the
joke was again on them, for Lampy
differs from history in that he never
repeats himself.-K. B. Townsend In

The Road
TO Yesterday

Beauty doctors and face artists are
trailing along the road to yesterday.
The new creed has better things in
store for woman. Not only does it
teach that the face and figure are but
of her condition of health. but it proves
that the monthly suffering that leaves
its telling imprint on her face and de
velopment can be done away with.
Woman's best friend is not her
stocking-the nowadays purse deposi-
tory-but her health. Beauty and sue
cess in social and worldly affairs are
dependent On good health. a good, if
not best. way Tor women is to relieve
themselves altogether of the pain pre-
ceding and during the monthly func-
ton which bligh5s the lives of so many.
This can be done by taking three times
a day and at bedtime several days be-
fore, during ard after the period q
teaspOonful of ire following prescrip-
ton, with water: Alpen Seal, 2 ounces;
Fluid Extract Black Haw. 1 ounce;
Pure Water, ) ounces.
This Alpen Seal acts as the regulator
of the flow, Gains the nervous system,
cures cramps. and makes the headache
of menstruatiOu a thing of the past.
Married and unmarried women derive
great benefit from its use at all stages
and under all conditions. Temperance
women all take it in preference to
other woman remedies. See that your
druggist gives you Alpen Seal and not
an inferior substitute.
