Al last one day the Wolf came indeed;

the reighbors. supposing him 10 be at his

Tobacco.

Although tobacco has been smoked,
chewed and snuffed by civilized man for
three hundred years, by no means every
one understands its precise effect upon
the human organism. No person OF real
cleanliness or refinement takes snuff or
chews tobacco nowadays; il is the prac-
tice OF smoking only that needs 10 be
considered. Tobacco contains virulent
poison, nicotin, TO the action OF which
its bad effects are usually attributed but
it is probable that certain products OF
combustion-pyridin. carbon monoxiu
and volatile oil-are also hurful.
That tobacco does effect the human
organism injuriously is certain; the only
question is how much tobacco it takes 10
produce those effects.
First OF all, there is the element OF idi-
osyncrasY, which enters into the action Of
any drug, poisonous or otherwise. A
few men smoke for long lifetime with
out suffering any apparent harm; but
others pay the penalty of very moderate
indulgence by continual indigestion, hard
ening OF the arteries or nervous break
down early in life.
The same fate awaits any man who
smokes tc excess. No one can safely
smoke more than tour cigars. or six pipes,
or eight or ten cigarettes. even without
inhaling; most men had better not use
more than this allowance. The sYmp-
toms of overindulgence in tobacco are
nervousness, poor sleep, Indigestion,
sometimes falling eyesight, and frequent
ly an irritable heart, with rapid pulse,
frequently palpitation, irregular beat, and
occasional paroxysms OF pain.
Most of these disturbances are func-
tional, and disappear if the smoker gives
Up his tobacco but if he persists in the
indulgence after these warnings, pre-
mature hardening OF the arteries will fol-
low, with abnormal changes in blood
pressure from which he can hardly re-
cover.
All this is applicable chiefly TO the
young and the middIe-aged adult. OF
course boys and youths should not smoke
in any circumstances; and old men US
ualIy lose their taste for smoking little by
little, and often give up the habit entirely.
# is hardly necessary TO add that smok-
ing is habit that. by reason Of its costli-
ness and the difficulty Of restraining il
within the very narrow limits that safety
dictates, is far better summed altogether.

A stubborn, annoying, depressing cough

Other New Homes.

A few days ago the Freeman
Der of new homes now in course of
construction in this city and vicin-
ity, but did not undertake to give a
complete list. There are so many
new residences going up that to
mention them all would require
more space than could be spared in
one issue of the paper, and we here
give some additions:
Probably none being erected any
place in the county will surpass the
home of Henry Arnold on the East
side, now nearing completion. This
beautiful, modern residence will
cost not less than $4,000 and will
compare favorably with some of the
best in the city.
The home being built by Joe OPP
penheimer on the corner of Prospect
and Elm streets is receiving a great
deal of favorable comment It will
be the only residence in the city
modelled fully after the true western
BUNGALOW style, and will be entirely
different in some respects from 9TH
er homes of equal value, it being
estimated that the cost will be about
$4,000.
Among the country homes, which
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1914-08-25

are fully equal to some of the best
home in Webster City, are those of
Elect P. L. Peterson, on
his farm two and a half miles south
east of Blairsburg: of Theodore
Arnold, two miles north Of Kamrar; ;
of Henry Reinhart just east of Web
ster City; and of Alexander Groves,
two miles south OF Kamrar.
The Peterson home is nearly fin
ished and is a fine up-to-date resi-
dence with all modern conveniences,
costing about $1,000.
Theodore Arnold's home will be
completed in the late fall, and is
equally as modern in all respects,
and will cost about $4,000.
The residence on the Alexander
Groves farm will probably be one of
the finest farm homes in the county,
and will be completed about
Thanksgiving time. 1t is situated in
the midst of grove of trees and
will be as complete in all particulars
as possible. Heating and lighting
plants will be installed, and hot and
cold water carried to all parts of the
house, by hydraulic pressure. The
cost of this fine home will be in the
neighborhood Of $4,000.
The farm residence of Henry
Reinhardt now in process of con-
struction, will be equally as mod
ern. Heat, light, hard and soft
water, with all other conveniences,
will leave nothing to be desired. This
home will not be so pretentious as
some of the others, costing in the
about $4,000.
Other residences are also being
erected and mention of them in
these columns will appear later.
