AN OLD TIMER

A woman who has used Postum

from experience the wisdom of u.s.
ing Postum in place of coffee If one
values health and a clear brain. She
says:
AT the time Postum was first put
on the market was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally / decided to
take his advice and try Postum. /

prepared, finding 1t delicious to the
taste. So continued its use and very
soon its beneficial effects convinced
me of its value. for l got well OF my

his nerves terribly. and ! persuaded
him to shift to Postum. 1t was easy
TO get him to make the change for
the Postum is 80 delicious. 1t Ger.

I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate nor depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and honest.

Why do actors so often wear long
hair? Perhaps this is the reason:
There once was statute in England

right ear. The long hair concealed

InllaIing the Smoke is With
Considerable Risk.
washington Herald.)

DR.. Thomas j.. Kerns, Of New York,
who is at the Shoreham, discussing
smoking, said. that on the labels of
some boxes OF cigarettes offered to
the public, is a statement to the effect
that the cigarette are made of the
purest tobacco and paper obtainable,
and that, therefore, the smoke from
them may be inhaled safely and with
out irritating the respiratory organs.
Il do not hesitate to say that such
a statement is highly mischievous and
that the practice Of inhafing smoke
into the lungs is attended with con-
siderable risk to the health of the
smoker
TT is to be feared that the cigarette
is responsible largely for the preva-
lence Of this Objectionable habit of
inhaling smoke continued
DR.. Kerns. The pipe or cigar mOker
is. as a rule, not addicted to it. be-
cause probably the smoke is too strong
or too irritating. But the fact tina
the smoke of a cigarette may be unir-
ritating does not minimize the evil
effect of drawing smoke into the lungs,
for by this method the absorption OF
the poisonous constituents Of tobacco
smoke is very rapid, entering quickly
into the circulatory system by way of
the pulmonary capillaries. Even in
the mouth and nasal passages there is
some amount of absorption, but this is
trifiing compared with that which
takes place in the lungs.
"The practice OF inhaling tobacco
smoke is therefore strongly to be dis
countenanced and vendors of cigar
cites should refrain from printing On
the boxes mischievOus statements such
as that to which / have alluded.
There is no reason for believing
that smoking tobacco in a rational
wa is productive Of harm,' added DR..
kerns. "On the contrary. it is the
common experience that when moder-
ate1y INDUCED in it serves to aliay
restlessness and ~irritability, but the
sequel to the habit of inhalation may
indeed be dire. the heart and nervous
system being chiefly affected. Yet
many cigarette smokers inhale the
smoke into the lungs as may be seen
from the fact that little of the smoke
which they draw from the cigarette
is afterward elected"

A CREDIT

AS I muse in retrospection o'er the
journey of the past,
And compare the good and evil n
the pleasure and the pain;
I am grateful for the mixture life has
given out to me.
And in reck'ning UP the alance I
can clearly see the gain.
True. some friends nave been disloyal
and some hearts untrue have
been,
Others broke their p1ighted vows
for loves surrender given pain;
the many hearts and loyal who
have ever been so true,
Very far outweigh the others as
