BOYS AND CIGARETs.

There is considerable difference of
opinion among medical men in regard
to the effects of tobacco on adults,
doctors are agreed that the use OF to-
becco by minors is harmful to the body
and to the brain. Something should
be done. therefore. 10 stop the prac-
tice OF smoking that has become so
common with boys attending the
schools. After recess and ~ the noon
hour boys may be seen smoking to-
bacco in most Of the public schools Of
the country. The teachers seem TO
think that they have no right to dis
cipline pupils for what they do out
side OF the schoolhouses, but most Of
the parents whose boys use tobacco
would gladly give the school teachers
permission 10 punish them for the per
nicious practice
That this is no imaginary danger is
proved by Professor N. V. O'Shca Of
the University of Wisconsin, who has
been making an Investigation Of the
subject. He declares that more than
30 per cent OF all the boys who fail in
the grammar and high schools are
smokers. He believes that the tobac-
CO evil Is the most serious one that the
public schools have to contend with.
Records kept OF the work Of pupils
who were not addicted to the smoking
habit when they entered the high
school. but who acquired It later. snow
that not only did such pupils become
harder to manage, but the quality of
heir school work also declined greatly,
A number OF principals interviewed by
Professor Shea declared that from so
to so per cent of their pupils are now
using cigsrets
No minor should be permitted to
smoke tobacco and parents should join

Denyer-Among the interesting and
unique figures from the far west who
will take part in the deliberations of
the next congress are George Kindel,
representative, and John F. Shafroth,
senator. both from Colorado.
In the November elections kindel
received the biggest vote given any
candidate, showing that the way of
the reformer is not always hard, even
IN Colorado. KinGel has been a very
active reformer for q long time and
for several years has been known as
the 'freight-rate buster" He has
locked horns with almost every big
rsilroad OF the west, and although lie
has sustained several defeats, he mas
won many notable victories.
A typical "Kindel victory" recently
in Colorado was when the state SUI
pTeme court sustained the decree of

tested up to the supreme court, but

Southern several hundred thousand
dollars, as the Breckenridge branch is
one of the most expensive to operate
in the entire west on account of deep
SHOWS.
Governor John F. Shafroth, who goes
to the senate for the long term, has
had an interesting career in three par
ties. He was first elected to congress
as a republican, in 1895. The next
year the silver question came up, and
Shafroth left the republicans to join
the silver party. lie refused to call
himself a democrat for tine and was
returned to congress as a silver re-
publican. In 1902 he Joined the demo
Gratis and ran for congress against R
". BOnyge, a republican. Shafroth
was ahead on the face of the returns,
but HIS opponent started proceedings
to have the election d. ,lared fraudu-
lent. Shafroth then resigned, declar-
ing that he was unaware that fraud
had been perpetrated, and that he per-
sonally was not guilty. II 1908 he
was elected governor of the state on
the democratic ticket He was re-
elected in 1910
Shafroth Is very popular with the
people and received a big vote at the
November election. He stands for
progressive measures and his wide ex-
pcrience In Office will MAKE him a
useful representative of his state. He
has praotioed law in Denver since
1879 and is one Of the wealthiest land.

them the prosecution Of the cases in
question. To this Mr.. Thompson
would doubtless readily have
acquiesced had the committee con-
WINGED him that it was within his pow
er SO to do.
The states attorney needs assist
ants. All Of the inoumbents of the
Office in recent years have had their
own assistants, and in every sense Of
fairness. and with no disparagement Of
the special prosecutors engaged in the
present investigation, Mr.. Thompson
should be allowed to name his own
assistants
And this Notwithstanding the fact
that he would, The Argus can
didly believes, have been glad 10 have
the board name his assistants IN the
prosecution which 1t is proposed to
conduct, had the matter been brought
about in the proper and legal way.

Applying these general plans each
day with all the modern conveniences
and labor-saving devices, housekeep-
ing should not be a burden, neither
should it absorb a greater part of each
day. All things in life arranged &C
cording to system, will fall into line
and serve Us, If our wills are strong
enough and our purpose sufficiently
steady.
Do not take this too seriously, but
go into it with cheerfulpess and op-
timism. Ability to think coolly and
calmly, self-control is the word. even
under pressure. Forget the term
nerves, and it will go a long way in
producing a good normal condition of
health.
Carefully plan each days work, with
grocery orders and menus at least
three meals in advance. Then forget
it. Do not carry the home, cooking
or chasing of germs around on your
shoulders. Plan your work, do it aid
pigeon-hoie it. Then fresh air, recrea-
toin or whatever suits your pleasure,
and you can come back and step into
the harness with perfect ease and joy.

One day, while teaching in the pri.
mary grades, we agreed that, for that
day at least, we would find only the
good in each other: this was to be in
the schoolroom and also on the play
ground. The work accomplished by
both the teacher and the pupils could
not be estimated at the end Of the day.
There was work being done for COM
mon end, in this systematic union Of
individuals.
This is organization.
Nothing is more to be deplored
than a house run in haphazard, go-as-
you-please, find-it-if-you-can fashion.
Each and every member of the fam
lily is affected; there is always friction,
loss of time, money and strength
where there is not thorough organiza-
ton.
When a home is established, wheth-
er there are two or more in il, there
should be sufficient system and organ
ization evolved which is practical and
adapted to their requirements. With
out this, little can be accomplished in
the home; but each home naturally re-
quires a different one. We can, how
ever, have some general plans for all.
First, the wife who is to start the
wheels of machinery running in this
home should know what is TO be done,
who is to do it, when it is to be done,
