GOOD TEST FOR NICOTINE.
Experiments That May Be of Interest
to Smokers.

anyone who wishes to find out
how much nicotine he might take into
his system by smoking can easily get
an idea by very simple experiment"
says an old smoker, who is rarely
seen in public or private without a
cigar in his mouth. Puff briskly
until the cigar smoke is clear white
then draw big mouthful, double
your handkerchief, place it over your
lips and blow out the smoke violently
as though you were whistling Look
at your handkerchief and you will
see deep brown stain almost as big
as a dime on tho white linen. That
is the nicotine and other oils distilled
from the tobacco during burning
Now, of course, l don't mean to say
that regular smoker would absorb
all this oil into his system. Most
of it passes away with the smoke, as
shown by the brown deposit on the
handkerchief, but still enough re
mains to affect the nerves, as any
inexperienced smoker can testify af-
ter his first attempts to become ac-
customed to the weed. Whether the
nicotine hurts anybody who is used
to it is a question for the doctors" !"

Calvin said: "This preposterous
distinction of days the apostle
strenuosly opposes. For the de-
struction of superstition it has
been expedient to abolish the
Jewish Sabbath" Is it not pity
that after st. Paul and John CAL
vim sought to destroy superstition
by doing away with the Jewish
Sabbath, Judge Wallace should
seek to resurrect superstition and
the Jewish Sabbath, one and in
divisible, together?
And even this is not all. John
Calvin, the Presbyterian, might
teach Judge Wallace, the Pres
byterian, another thing concern
ing Sunday observance, for John
Calvin sometimes used to adjourn
his Sunday evening services, and
then together with his flock he
went to the theater. Yes, he did
Grim old John Calvin went to the
theater on Sunday nights and took
his congregation along with him
Does Judge Wallace think that he
is a better Christian than John
Calvin?
Judge Wallace and his support
ers propose to have meetings
throughout the winter to stir up en-
thusiasm for the Sunday crusade
No doubt they will continue t.
! abuse those who do not agree will
them, as they have been doing
} But let neither Judge Wallace
nor his ministerial supporter
fancy for a moment that they arr
the only ones that can fight
They may find before they get
through that there are blows tC
take as we'll as blows to give, a

dark-visaged Sabbatarians, al
Webster commended to Hayne, t.
a prudent husbandry of their re-
sources.

A Common Cold.

We claim that if catching cold
could be avoided some of the most
dangerous Diseases would never
be heard of. A cold often forms a
culture bed for germs of infectious
diseases. Consumption, pneumo-
MIA, diphtheria and scarlet fever,
four of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases, are of this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the development of the
germs of these diseases, that
would not otherwise find lodg-
ment. There is little danger how
ever, of any of these diseases be-
ing contracted when a good ex-
pectorant cough medicine like
Chamberlain's Congh Remedy is
used. 1t cleans out these culture
beds that favor the development
of the germs of these diseases.
Thatis why this remedy has proved
SO universally successful in pre-
venting pneumonia. 1t not only
cures your cold quickly, but mini
mizes the risk of contracting these
dangerous diseases. For sale by
the Arcadia Valley Drug 90.
