representation and inconsistency con-
tanned in Carranza's reply

Moving Kansas.

Topeka State Journal.
 Rural prosperity abounds in Kansas and to far larger extent than it does in almost any other section of the country. Assuredly this is so on a per capita basis. Kansas, however, could be more prosperous agricultur- ally, and for a variety of reasons. There is plenty of room here for in- creasing the yields per acre, for a more general practice of animal hus- bandry, and making remunerative re- turns more certain through diversified farming. But there is one good req son why Kansas is not more prosper ous, rurally, even under present con- ditions. And it is to be found in the moving habit that prevails among the tenant farmers of the State. Among the data obtained for the last Federal census were answers from Kansas farmers as to how long they had lived on the farms they were then occupying. This question was asked of 177,841 Kansas farmers. Replies were received from 161 ,442, and a tab

TOBACCO POISONING

The American Tobacco Company seems to be insidious and persistent in it's advertisement of its wares, and often appears in the way of an edi- torial in many of our papers. The latest is its information(?) of the ne
 cessity(?) of it's use among soldiers, and how much BEAVER CD they are with it, than without it.
 As science speaks out on the sub- iect, and declares tobacco to be a mar cotic, depressant, paralyzant, there may be some other motive in furnish ing it to the soldiers; it may be that the soldiers need to be lulled, supplied benumbed so that they can not realize their peril, or give them at least, a kind of "don't care" feeling amid the fire of shot and shell. Dr. Mathew Woods of Philadelphia, says that in this production of "repose and lan- guor" lies one of the chief dangers of tobacco, for in this way, like mor- phia, chloral and other elicitors of narcosis, it gives the tranquil escape from difficulties and responsibilities that ought to be corrected in some other way. It is easy for man with a pipe in his mouth to shift his res

possibilities on his wife" In the army he has no one on whom to shift them, so he just lets them go.
 This same author says that "tobac- co is powerful sedative poison, which is locally irritant; it gives rise to con- fusion of the head, vertigo, stupor, faintness, nausea, and general depres~ sion of the nervous and circulatory functions; it enfeebles digestion, pro duces emancipation and general debi- lity, and lays the foundation of serious nervous disorders; amourosis and col or-blindness are occasionally produced by it, and even insanity has been as cribed to it; in many cases of nervous break-downs attributed to overwork has certainly been an important etio- logical factor"
 In the face of these laborat>'.v and experimental findings, it is foolish to claim that tobacco helps a single sol dier to greater courage, more definite aim or superior strength.
 It is our inexpressible regret that THOSE WHO KNOW of the evil ef- fects of this "noxious weed" are not more careful to give them out that more of our men and boys might be saved from the indulgence.
