Dear Miss Grey: I would
like very much il you would
answer this question: Does
1t hurt a boy to smoke a pipe
and not inhale it? Thanking
you.-Anxious Boy.
Alt is claimed that TO smoke
and not inhale is not injurious TO
the health. 1 claim IL is, for any
thing that Is hurtful to character
will in time iniure the health.
Any habit becomes a chain
when one cannot be happy with
out it. One may meet an old man
who claims he has used tobacco
all his life, and 1t has never hurt
him. ''See, 1 have lived past the
usual limit" But, who can say
how long he might have lived had
he not formed the habit; and who
can say he would not have been a
better, broader, more intellectual
man had he not used It? What
would you think of an animal that
had the habit of smoking, or
chewing? The only thing l know
in the animal Kingdom that likes
tobacco Excepting MANI is the
worm. Do you want to put your
self on a level in mentality with
1t?

END RHEUMATISM
Ease Stiff, Sore Joints and Mus
clcs. Make Pains and Back.
ache Promptly Vanish.

"Most all rheumatism is due to
one cause-weak kidneys" says
q noted authority. The kidneys
become clogged up, get sluggish
and filter or strain out only a
part of the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid, all the rest re-
mains in the blood and circulates
through the system, where II
lodges in the joints and muscles,
and causes all the trouble.
The only way to overcome this,
Is to make your kidneys work
properly. You can easily and
surely do this by taking a little
Croxone. which never fails to act
promptly.
Croxone not only cleans out
the clogged up kidneys, strength
ems them and makes them active,
but 1t neutralizes and dissolves
the poisonous waste substances,
and uric acid, that scratch and
arritate and cause rheumatism, so
the kidneys can filter 1t from the
blood and drive it out of the sys.
tenn.
Croxone Is believed to be the
most remarkable preparation ever
known for the prompt relief and
cure of rheumatism, kidney trou-
bles. and bladder disorders. 1t is
entirely different from other rem
edies. 1t is so prepared that it
is practically impossible to take it
without results. Relief follows
the first few doses, and you will
be surprised how quickly stiff,
sore, swollen joints, and muscles,
rheumatic pains, and all such
misery ends.
An original package of Croxone
costs but trifle, and every drug
gist recommends and sells it on
a positive money-back guarantee.
Three doses day, for a few days,
Is often all that Is ever needed to
overcome the worst backache or
most annoying urinary disorders
