NONSENSE ABOUT TOBACCO

One Of the physicians attending Col
Roosevelt has attributed his superb physf-
cal condition to his outdoor life. to the
wisdom Of his diet. to tho fact that he
drinks hardly any alcohol, and does not
smoke. Another physician. who ID miles
away from Chicago writes: Tt Is . nota-
BILE fact. a. I am informed. and one that
should be brought to the attention Of the
public for what salutary effect II may
have upon the individual mind. that the
three principal candidates for the Presi-
dency do not use tobacco
Thus II an attempt made to stretch
useful lesson into q most useful lesson.

dent Taft. Col Roosevelt. and Gov. Will

the colonel In build they are a. different
as possible. To choose from all their
differences one likeness. such as their
nonuse Of tobacco and from this one like
ness to infer anything about the effect Of
tobacco on health II absurd.
The truth II that we are much further
from knowledge Of the effects OF tobacco
than from knowledge of the effects Of al
cohol. We are much further from an
agreement among experts. Everybody
knows that It Is possible for a man to in
jure his health by smoking q lot. Every
body knows that few persons are injured
by smoking two or three times a day.
Everybody knows that good cigars cost
money and that the best pipe tobacco
costs very little.
BY the way. Is this notable fact
fact? Is II true that neither the President
nor Gov. Wilson smokes?

The Growing of Fruit.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A recent census report shows that in,
spite Of the great increase in population
the output of deciduous fruit merely
held its own during the last decade.
The area planted to small fruits actually,
declined more than 10 per cent. and the,
total production of small fruits shows,
falling of.
Are Americans losing the skill or pa
thence necessary to raise fruit? Abandon
ment Of this field of production can,
scarcely be thoughtful and voluntary.
for market prices go higher and market;
ing facilities better. Some other rea-
son must be sought.
Fruit raising. like most other occupa-
tions, is more exacting than II was

might plant q few acres to apple trees.

attention to them except at picking time.

raising as an industry has developed
like every other industry.
Possibly fruit raisers. AZ q country

Through the action Of the state rail
way commission, brought about by the
urgent efforts of the local commercial
club and citizens in general, better
mail service for Mineral Point went in
to effect on Tuesday of this week. The
morning freight which leaves James
vile at an early hour and has usually
taken on the mail for this division, has
been ordered to reach this end of the
line on time which is shortly before the
dinner hour. Heretofore this freight
train scarcely ever reached this city
until middle Of the afternoon or later
and when overtaken and passed by the
regular passenger train, due here at
.. m, the latter would gather up the
mail enroute via freight. The change
is an appreciate one, but it would be
still better for our business men if the
mail came about an hour sooner.

Christmas Is the Children's.

The whole of Christmas is built
around the love of mother for babe.
Centuries have since rolled by; dynas-
ties have risen and fallen; conquerors
have waxed and waned, but none of
these has stilled that cradle song in the
quiet of the Judean starlight. Nor
have the 1000 years broken the com
municable spirit of sympathy between
that mother at Bethlehem and the
mother of today. AS heaven lay around
that infancy in the Bethlehem stable,
so heaven lies around the cradle of
every infant of today.
We elders may enjoy Christmas in a
way, but what is our enjoyment of the
day now compared to the thrills that
the day brought us when we were
children?
Let US remember back to the time
when we struggled timorously beneath
the coverlet, our hearts athrob with the
hope that what would come tiptoe in
the night after the Sandman went
away There hung the stockings, emp
ty and arrow, but before the gray glim-
mer of the earliest dawn there would
be miracle Where now the stocking
mouth gaping in limp detection, there
would glitter in the quickly kindled
| light of a lamp, candle or freight, a
tasseled horn, or the bright eyes of
doll with arms outstretched in greeting,
or some tissue-wrapped parcel with the
diaphanous promise of soul-satisfying
contents. There is no juvenile exper-
fence compared with the ecstatic thrill
of that first hour of Christmas morn
ing, as you burrowed all the way down
to tue toe of the stocking stuffed out
round and large with the conclusive
ORANGE
We take pleasure now in the Christ
mas tree, but how? 1t is not with the
admirng but deliberate gaze of one who
helped in its decoration, studying it
with. artistic eye and concluding that
the picture it makes is a successful one?
But what is that compared to the time
wher you looked at the tree as if it
were a vision right out of the wonder
book of fairyland? A tree that never
stood rooted in any forest in this world;
as if it came from Hans Andersen or
Grimm waited into the room as palaces
used % be whisked about on a magic
carpet! That was the real Christmas
to you; that is the real Christmas today
to some other child.
Let US, then, cut ourselves we elders
out of the day except as givers, and
give it over to the children. But sane
ly.-Ladies' Home Journal.

HOW MOTOR TIRES SHOULD
WASHED TO SAVE THEM

At this season of the year when
roads, in consequence of spring
showers, are often muddy, most
motor cars are coming in for their
share of washing.
Washing tires and washing car
are two different propositions, says
an Abilene expert. Water alone
should be used to wash tires ana
as little of 1t as necessary. After
every run the envelope should De
wiped clean with damp sponge
or well-wrung cloth.
A common mistake made by mo-
torists is to mix kerosene with
water. This may be advisable when
washing the body of a car to re-
move mud and dust from the warm
ish, but it should never be done
when washing tires because kero-
sene eats rubber. This fact can be
readily proved by immersing small
piece of rubber in kerosene and al
lowing 1t to soak. The rubber will
soon swell and lose its elasticity.
The reason for this is apparent.
Kerosene is rich in fatty properties
which remain after the evaporation
of the gases. Every time a tire is
washed with kerosene mixture the
rubber is deprived of more of its
strength.
When washing tires it is best sim
ply to dampen a sponge with clean
water, care being taken that the
sponge is not soaked and dripping.
Then wipe the tires dry with a
cloth or handful of waste.
