EN- SMOKE IN THE HOUSE
Even if Carnegie Does Say that No Man Should Use To-
bacco Until He Becomes a Millionaire Lying
Lots Worse Than Cigarettes
For a house which is smoked in the
raar round will have M rnnths

For a house which is smoked in the
year round will have no moths.
Smoking, indeed, is friendly and
useful habit besides conducting TO NOR
al behavior and to the preservation OF
the domestic balance.
Neither is cigarette smoking half as
bad as il is painted by the moralists
and the W. c. T. L.
Booth Harrington. in instance, is a
conspicuous example of one of the fit
test who have survived. The celebra-
ted novelist and playwright has arriv-
ed at the famed years of discretion in
seemingly good condition and undoubt-
ed affluence.
And his cigarette procliyities are
notorious
Not half as much harm is done
through cigarette smoking as through
lying.
Lying is the one damnable habit
The effect of lying is worse than that
of drink and smoke and drugs and
crime rolled into one.
For a lie cannot be nullified.
1t rolls down the ages gathering
weight and momentum with time. The
willful liar should he segregated from
society.
For he or she is its one determine
BILE plague spot.
If the W. c. T. Z. or some other
feminine organization would institute
reform which had for its animus the
stoppage of women lying about each
other. we'd be lacking toward the mil
lenium lots faster than we ever will
be through the operations of the Pro-
gressives.
But this will never be achieved I'M
til a mans auxiliary is formed for the
purpose of discouraging lying among
the fair. For it is the tacit support
women receive from men and the atti-
tude the latter sustain toward them
that is the cause of third OF all the
feminine lying.
Men, in fact. foster a lack of truth
among women.
When women find that they make
no Roadway with the men by sidestep-
ping the straight and narrow path OF
truth they won't sidestep it.
For the only thing that half the
women in the world care for is to
stand in with the men.
The other half don't care and
wouldn't lie tc please a man or make
case with him, to save her more or
less valuable soul
Life's too short and not a man, liv-
ing or dead, worth it.

! But men don't have TO lie to women
to stand in with them.
They stand in with them anyway.
For the half of the feminine contin-
gent who wouldn't lie to a man des-
pise a man who lies to them.
And its a regrettable fact that the
majority thinks it is excusable, IL not
necessary, to deliberately lie to wom-
en-.
This is fine point upon which men
are singularly obtuse.
Whats this got to do with smok-
ing?" asked the man at the next desk
Il didn't say it did," said the other
person.
1t is the truth, however, that smok-
ing is a nice, companionable habit and
generally practiced among both those
within the pale and the uncou'.
You'll often find, also, that disagree
able men don't smoke.
If a man doesn't either Smoke,
drink or chew" you may put it down
that he has a villainous temper or
some unbearable virtue.
Put it down in your little book that
a man who don't smoke just to save a
nickel is to be matrimonially avoided.
He will make life one long hades
for the erst while happy bride.
Truth to tell the man who doesn't
smoke should be regarded with suspi-
cion.
For, ten to one, he has some far
more unregenerate vice.
