The Youths Companion

The Youths Companion appeals to
every interest of family life, from
housekeeping to athletics. 1t begins
with stories of youthful vim and
vigor, with articles which disclose
the secrets of successful play in the
great games, with charming tales of
life at the girls colleges. But The
Companion does not surrender these
readers when they have entered the
more serious paths of life. Mothers
will welcome the page for little chill

Fathers will find the important news

Political Advertising

Mr.. Cook of Lyndon has a primary
bill before the legislature which, in
its intent, may be most commendable
but which seems in one phase, at
least, to fall short to the fullness of
reason in it's demands. Unless the
measure as proposed has been misin-
terpreted, it would make it impossi-
BILE for any candidate to make use of
newspaper to promote his political
fortunes unless he was the owner OF
the publication Now this does not
seem reasonable.

mercenary motive, it must be said
that it would be a hardship to indi
viduals to close the advertising coli
umnsof the press to them during a

Some New Evidence on the
Tobacco Question

The consideration of tobacco and
its dangers has heretofore been
largely based on the amount of mic
otin contained in the smoke. But
there are other products of tobacco
which must share the responsibility. |
Among these are carbon monoXide |
gas, prussic acid, furfural and some
others. Although all of these COM
pounds admittedly are poisonous,
their danger depends on the quani-
ties in which they are taken. Re
Gently Investigations have been made
of some of these toxic products, and
the results are of considerable inter-
est. The fact that the action of |
certain kinds of tobacco has been
attributed to the prussic acid in their |
smoke has induced the Wurzburg
hygienist, Prof. K. B. Lehman, to
Investigate the charge. He has
found that the amount of this COM
pound produced depends somewhat
on the rate at which the tobacco is
smoked. The slower the current of
air through a cigar, the smaller is
the amount of prussic acid formed.
The entire amount found, however,
is too small to account for the effects.
So far the burden of the blame for
the i'll effects of smoking would
appear to rest on nicOtin. Investi-
cations made by the London LANCET
indicate that the ordinary cheap Gig
aret contains the least nicotin in the
smoke and the pipe the most, the
cigar occupying an intermediate
position. Assuming, then, that MIC
otin is the essentially injurious sub
stance in tobacco, the cigaret would
appear to be the least harmful form,
provided that the amount of tobacco
consumed was no greater in this
form than in others.
The general impression, however,
is that cigaret smoking is the most
pernicious form of indulgence in
tobacco. This might be accounted
for in part by the facts that the form
of the cigaret makes it possible for
young persons to indulge in it when
they would not smoke cigars or pipes,
that in older persons it lends itself
to overindulgence and that the smoke
may be inhaled with less irritation
and, therefore, that more of the pro-
ducts may be absorbed into the sys-
TEN. Further Investigations indi-
cate that the most Injurious forms
OF smoking are not those in which
nicotin prevails but those in which
there is larger proportion of fur
fural. Furfural is about fifty times
as poisonous as ordinary alcohol
There is probability that the least
harmful tobacco will turn out to be
that which yields minimum of fur.
fural in the smoke. Although the
amount of nicotin present in the
cheaper grades of cigarets is prac
tically negligible, the amount of fur
fural appears to be sufficient in it
self to account for the bad effect.
