Tobacco Smoke.

The body is factory Of poisOns,
says a big pathOlogist. These poisOns
are constantly being poured out at the
rate OF eight pounds Il day. One-third
Of all these poisonous exCreta passes
through the lungs In the form OF
steam or vapOr. The lungs within
their comparatively small compass con-
tain folded surface of about 1000
square feet. in area equal to the floor
Of room forty feet square. 1t is
through this surface that the oxygen
is drawn into the body and the poison
Gus carbon dioxide thrown of Smoke
In reality is nothing more or less than
q cloud of fine carbon dust-soot And
when this dust comes into contact with
the surface of the lungs 1t forms a
thin coating which obstructs the en-
trance Of oxygen laden air as well as
the exit Of the poisonous Outbreath-
ings. The smoker or he who inhales
smoke either directly or by sitting in
a smoke laden atmosphere is both
starved and pOisoned-starved for o1y-
gen, the most important of all the
foods, and poisoned by his own ex.
creted waste.-Chicago Tribune.
