KEEP A STIFF UPPER LIP.

The most perilous hour of PERSONS
life is when he is tempted to despond.
The man who loses his courage loses
all. There is no more hope for him
than there is for dead man. 1t mat
tiers not, however, how much he may
be pushed by circumstances If he only
keeps his courage up, holds up his
head, and with unconquerable will de-
termines to be and do what becomes a
man; all that makes or unmakes. Keep
a stiff upper lip. Realize that success
or failure depends after all, on you
and you alone. A man makes his own
bed and must lie on it. So make up
your mind that you will succeed and
then get down to work with determin-
alton. "The road to wealth is as easy
as the road to market" You must
call to your aid all that can honestly
assist you; can help you invest your
savings, however small; that can invite
you to further thrift; that can develop
in you the courage and cheerfulness.

Sorrow came to you yesterday and
emptied your home. Your first im-
pulse now is to give up and sit down in
despair amid the wrecks of your hopes.
But you dare not do it. You are in
the line OF battle and the crisis is at
hand. To falter a moment would be to
ipperil some holy interest. Other
lives would be harmed by your paus-
ing. Holy interest would suffer should
your hands be folded. You must not
linger, even to indulge in your grief.
Sorrows are but incidents in life and
must not interrupt us. We must leave
them behind while we press on to the
things that are before. Then God has
SO ordered that in pressing on in duty
we shall find the truest, noblest com
fort for ourselves. Sitting down 70
brood over our sorrows, the darkness
deepened, creeps into our heart and
our strength changes TO weakness.
But if we turn away from the gloom
and take up the duties and tasks TO
which God calls us, the light will come
again and we will grow
When all our hopes are gone,
'Tis well our hands must still keep toll
ing on for others sake.
For strength TO bear is found in duty
done,
| And he Is blest who learns To make
The 10Y OF Others cure his own heart
ache.

The question of whether cigarette
smoking is good thing or bad thing
whether the practice of cigarette
smoking is one for him to cultivate or
to avoid-presents itself in practical
form to every boy. Doctor Duncan c.
Miner of Chicago has put together the
following interesting summary of his
own reasons and those of others why
boys should not smoke cigarettes:
Sir Hudson Maxim, noted as man
of science and inventor, has made a
tremendous indictment of the cigarette.
He says: "If all boys could be made to
know that with every breath of cigar
cite smoke they inhale imbecility and
exhale manhood-uhat the cigarette is
a maker of invalids, criminals and
fools-not men-it ought to deter them
some. The yellow finger stain is an
emblem of deeper degradation and en-
slavement than the ball and chain"
Thomas A, Edison, another famous
scientist and inventor, regards cigar
cite smoking as direct cause of de-
generacy. He says. "Acrolein is one
of the most terrible drugs in its effects
on the human body. The burning of
ordinary cigarette paper always pro-
duces acrolein. That is what makes
the smoke So irritating. really be-
lieve that it often makes the boys in
sane. | can hardly exaggerate the
dangerous nature Of acrolein, and yet
that is what man or boy is dealing
with every time he smokes an ordin-
AIRY cigarette"
Luther Burbank, the plant wizard,
says Several of my young acquant-
ances are in their graves who gave
promise of making happy and useful
citizens; and there is no question what
ever that cigarettes alone were the
cause of their destruction. No boy
living would commence the use Of CT
garettes if he knew what useless,
soulless, worthless thing they would
make of him."
Judge Ben Lindsey, who has done so
much for boys, regards cigarette smok-
ing AS one of their greatest perils.
Judge Burke of the Chicago Munich
pal Court said;
81 cannot believe that our law and
times would tolerate for single mo-
ment the cigarette evil if the desola-
ton which it works could be fully real
lied"
The teachers in our schools and col
leges are practically a unit as to the
destruction wrought in the minds and
bodies as we'll as the morals of the boys
10y cigarette smoking.
Many banks and business houses as
well as many corporations refuse to
employ cigarette smokers.
Athletic leaders and managers OF
sebalI clubs are more and more con-
WINGED that the cigarette and good sport
do not harmonic.
la Wisconsin, as is well known, the
sale OF cigarettes and of materials .or
making them is under the ban of law
which was enacted for the purpose of
protecting the youth of the state.
There is reason for believing that the
law is ineffective because not rigidly
enforced But it behooves every in
telligeut boy to heed the body of evil
dence against cigarette smoking by the
young, and to consider whether in JUS
tice to his parents and to himself he
can afford to acquire the habit Of smok-
ing tobacco in any form before he has
attained the age of twenty-one?
