TOBACCO HABIT
EASILY CONQUERED

A well-known New Yorker who has
had wide experience, has written a book
telling how the tobacco or snuff habit
can be easily banished in three days
without any return of the craving.
The health improves wonderfully af-
ter the nicotine poison is out of the
system. Calmness, tranquil sleep,
clear eyes, normal appetite, good diges-
ton, manly vigor, strong memory and
a general gain in efficiency are among
the many benefits. No more of that
nervous feeling; no more need of pipe,
cigar, cigarette or chewing tobacco to
pacify the morbid desire. The author,
Edw. J. Woods, 534 Sixth Ave, 1888,
New York City, will send his book free
on application to anyone who writes
to him.-Adv.

included the entire transactions of the
convention and every part the Norfolk

Glass Flags Come Down.

Junior and senior classes of the Nor
folk high school have settled down to
their usual studies after weeks eff
fort at raising their class coors to
the top of the high school building
without keeping them on temporary
poles which they wired tight to a VEN
tilator in the roof. Two unsuccessful
efforts on the part of the boys of
each class to keep their colors on the
building top were frustrated by Supt.
NJ. f. CrOsier and Principal Thomas.
The officials arrived on the scene just
in time to have the colors of the sen.
iors hauled down before dark, and an
other time they surprised the juniors
by turning on every light in the school
building and trapping almost every
member of the color guards in the
hall The colors We're brought down
about midnight and lecture on what
constitutes burglary" was given them
in the assembly room, where a meet
ing was held after the colors were
brought down with great difficulty.
About a week ago the two classes
entertainments in the high school
building. As result of these enter
tainments, the schemes were concoct
ed in which the class colors were TAX
en- to the top of the building.
The faculty of the school are in
sympathy with the students and they
declare that a flag pole should be
erected where the class colors car
be hOisted.
"The sentiment is not against class
colors," says Supt Crosier who or
one occasion made the ascent to the
top of the building and brought down
the senior colors. 1--WE encourage the
use of class colors and the class spirit
But we will not permit any lawless

building at night cannot be encour
