Most of the players realize: that the
use OF clgarets is very detrimental
to their playing and therefore re-
traln from using them. ''s74 E. :. -

A noted physicians has said, II
have made special note of the eff
fects of tobacco upon men in train
ing for special events, running,
cycling, swimming and boxing, and
find that in every instance, that the
men using tobacco are the inferior
men and must either give up the
use of the stuff or drop out of the
training class
A great billiard player said that
he felt sure of winning when his
opponent was smoker. ....
" An expert tennis player beganl=to
smoke at the age Of 81 and found
that men,. whom he had before
beaten with ease, could now beat
him. ~.
Leads to immortality and Crime.
Judge Samuel L. Black of Column
bus, Ohio, says, my experience is
THAT OF Juvenile court Judges all
over the country, who agree that
the cAgaret is the most destructive
habit except perhaps, secret vice
ITO which it leads -
C. H. Dunton, superintendent of
Preston School Of. Industry, CAL,
says. "Of some. seven to eight hun
dred boys who have come under
my care during the last two years,
my records show that 80 per cent
use tobacco, and that IS per cent
use it in the cigaret form. In my
Judgment, the smoking of cigarets
by young boys from 40 to18 years
OF age is the most subtle destroyer
OF the boys mental faculty of all
habits followed by them. 1t is al
so the hardest to correct"
The boy with the cigaret habit
will deceive, lie, steal and i'm other
ways show that his moral sense is
lacking or has become blunted.
Doubtless some cigaret smokers
will always tell the truth but every
teacher who has dealt with them to
any extent knows that many of
them cannot be depended upon at
all. The cigaret or snuff fiend will
lie or steal in order to satisfy the
appetite for the stuff. Last year
one of the. school boys testified to
me that he picked up cigar stumps
in one of the alleys near Main St.
He took the tobacco from these,
wrapped it in cigaret paper and
smoked it. The cigar stumps were
probably thrown out from spit
toons used in the business places
of the city. ..... H.. 49,. -.~... =. !.
This boy may have told the truth
Or he may have merely wished to
protect the dealer who sold him to-
bacco in defiance of the law of the
state. --5 r.. : -.s .
What Have the Girls to do With
Such Habits? 4.
Young men who are worth con-
sidering at all will usually adhere
to as high a moral standard as
young ladies demand they must.
When young ladies will refuse to
keep company with young men
who feed them, cigaret smoke as i
diet, then will young men rise to q
moral standard a little higher.
have often wondered what effect it
would have upon us men 1t our
wives and our daughters should
suddenly become addicted to the
drinking, chewing and smoking ha-
bit. EWpuldnt we be proud of
them as competit0rs7 And yet they
have the same right that we have.
Who gave ls men the right to de-
mand Of them a higher standard
than we are willing to accept for
ourselves? The very reason why
the women are o1tstrippdng the
men today along many lines az
chievements. is because boys and
men have untitled themselves By
low moral standards to rise to the
highest achievements.
