1nso mnia and Tobacco,

The dominant characteristic Of to.
bacco is the fact that it heightens blood
pressure The irritant action by which
1t does this sometimes leads to still
more harmful results. Its second ac-
ton is narcotic. It lessons the connec-
ton between nerve centers and the out
side world. These two actions account
for all the good and all the bad effects
Of tobacco. AS a narcotic 1t Temporal
rily abolishes anxiety and discomfort
by making the smoker care less about
what is happening to him. But it Is a
well known law of medicine that all
the drugs which in the beginning less
en- nerve action increase it in the end.
Thus smoking finally causes apprehen-
sion, hyperexcitability and muscular
unrest. Here this inevitable law seems
to give contradictory results. Every
physician knows that an enormous
amount Of insomnia is relieved by
smoking even If it is at the expense of
laziness the next day. At the same
time every physician knows that most
excessive smokers are troubled with
insomnia.

ADVISORS Of TAFT

At WHITE HOUSE
Telegram to Ohio Manager
Causes CONSERVATION In
That State.

About a half dozen OF the Presidents
closest political advisers visited the
White House today prior to the Cabinet
meeting and we're in conference for
more than an hour.
The news fro mColumbus that the
Presidents telegram sent yesterday to
his political manager, Arthur l. Vorys,
has created CONSERVATION in the ranks
of the Taftites In Ohio, served to alarm
the foes Of Colonel Roosevelt in Wash,
ington.
Former Lieut.. Gov. Warren @. Hard.
ing. who expects to be chairman of the
committee on resolutions of the Ohio
convention which meets Monday. has
been summoned to Washington and IL
scheduled to arrive at the White House
for a conference late today.
Among the Taft lieutenants who at
tended the political confab today were
Senators Penrose, Crane, Smith anc
Townsend. of Michigan; Root, Bradley
and Congressman Gardner, of Massa
chusetts. Secretary Hilles, who is tc
start on a tour of several States befor,
going to Chicago June g. where he will
manage the Taft fight, also took part II
the deliberations today.

no tickets to the Republican national
convention at Chicago, while President
TAFT may have as many as he pleases,
That was the situation that confronted
friends OF the colonel, when Chairman
Harry New, of the subcommittee,
turned down a request by Senator
Dixon, Roosevelt's campaign manager,
for $50 tickets.
"The position OF Roosevelt ana Taft
are reversed" said Fred W. Upham,
in charge OF the convention's seating
arrangements. Tickets are given 10
the President as a courtesy. A candi-
date for Presidency has no claim on
the committee, Four years ago Roose-
Welt. as President, could have all the
tickets he wanted, but Taft was only

The explanation, however, does not
satisfy the Roosevelt men. They see
in the committees stand evidence of
