Tobacco and Boys.

Wayne Laughlin wrote an essay
some time ago on the evil effects of
the use of tobacco on the growing
boy" This was in contest con-
Quoted by one of the departments of
the w. c. T. u. the essay being as
follows:
Tobacco is deadly poison to man
and more so to the growing boy. The
Japanese even found that their sol
diers did lot better without it. Boys
and men should never smoke nor
chew. for If they do it will stunt
their growth and dull their brain.
The more person smokes or chews
the weaker and duller he gets.
There are over 5000. 100000 Gig
arets manufactured in the United
States every year. besides what the
smokers roll for themselves each day.
There are thousands of American n
boys beginning to smoke every day
They think it will make a man OF
them, but II only wrecks their lives
wastes their money and their time
and throws them in bad company.
In school they fall down in theil
grades and soon get to the foot o.
the class. When the boy becomes {
man he often does not try to ge
work and will be lazy, untruthful, de
ceitful and many other things
! II he gets a little money it will

burn his pockets so he will spend 1t
for tobacco. Tobacco makes man
look dirty. II he spitS on the floors
or walks all the time and has a dis
ease it may give some one else the
disease. Sometimes when a man is
trying to get work he signs his name,
the employer sees his fingers and
tells him that he does not want such
a man to work for him.
When a man accidentally gets
job he always will have to roll Gig
aret or fill his pipe before he can go
to work Even during his work he
stops to smoke. This the employer
does not like and often gets another
man that does not waste so much
time because he wants man to earn
his money through the month.
1t has kept tens of thousands OF
boys from being Christians and
landed them in perdition. In short,
it is the curse of the boys body, mind
and soul. the bane OF society and the
enemy of all true mankind.

New Route to Springs.

A party Of several auto loads Of
people are talking of a trip to Colo
'rado Springs Sunday across country
to the north and then west into the
Springs. The route is shorter cut
Ito Colorado Springs than via Pueblo
and it is claimed by those who have
been over this road that 1t is better
than the road to Pueblo.
In this connection it has been stat
ed by a great many who have been to
Pueblo by auto that the roads from
the time they strike Pueblo county
are in very poor condition. In Crow
ley and Otero the roads are most al
ways in fine condition, but autoists
claim that there is rarely time when
good travel can be found in the other
county. They are rough and cut up.
and considerable objection has been
made to them. Pueblo county has
seen fit to make the roads to Colo
RADIO Springs and Beulah and Rye

ticular about the Arkansas valley
folk east of them. the very ones to
whom they look for trade and on
whom they depend for trade outside
Of that city. There are many who

Of auto travel and if the road to the
north and northwest is found to be
better even many from across the
liver would make the Springs trip

Federal Commissioners of
Weights and Measures
Makes the Charge.
lcONcEALM LMENT IS INVADE.
Concerns Are to Pay Bonuses

Relieve Strain.
taT ASSOCIATES rnEgsl

K X d . N
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-An asser-
ton that western farmers under-esti-
mated their crops in reports submit
ted to the federal government and
thereby forced up the price Of wheat,
potatoes. onions and cabbage, is the
latest contribution to the high cost
of food investtg cation here. The charge
is made by Joseph Hartigan, commits
sioner OF weights and measures, who
has just returned from tour Of
twenty-nine states undertaken to de-
termine the reason for the high cost
OF living and. incidentally to com
plete arrangements for the farmers
congress to be held here in Febru-
ary.
Mr.. Hartigan's investigation con-
Tinced him, he said. that the govern
ment estimate Of the wheat crop In
this country this year was based on
statistics furnished by the farmers
who knowingly concealed at least
twenty-five per cent Of their wheat
crop" According to Mr.. Hart1gan
this surplus has been held in reserve
to be dumped into a market, suppos-
edly short many millions of bushels
at a price otherwise unobtainable.
81 do not charge the farmers with
being out and out dishonest, de-
clared Mr.. Hartigan, "but the least
that can be said OF them is that their
action was unpatriotic. They are do
ing the same thing in many parts of
the country in regard to potatoes,
cG1bages and onions. have not the
slightest doubt that If these reserve
supplies were released we would
hear considerable less about crop
shortages and the cost OF these farm
products would be reduced to the re-
tail purchaser at least twenty-five per
cent from the prices now prevailing 7"
The high prices now demanded for
the necessaries Is being gnlzed by
large employers and measures have
been adopted to ame1iorate the sit
uation. The Brooklyn Truck Com
pany, with the approval Of its board
OF directors, announced today a sub
stantia1 bonus for each Of Its ninety
employees. Accompanying each check
was a note explaining that the money
had been voted ''tC relieve the strain
among employees on account of the
high cost Of living.
Announcement was also made that
the Underwood Typewriter Company
planned to distribute s250,000 among
its employees in the middle of the win
ter when the cost@of living is usually
the highest.
Food spectators last week made a
profit OF more tina 100000 on a sin
gle item of eggs, according to state
food experts. Tnis$week's toll from
the city househo1ders they say, will
exceed $1,000
