PRIZE TO GIRL FOR
ESSAY ON SMOKING

Helen Lavender, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. William Lavender, has been
awarded girls prize In an essay COM
petition on the harmfulness of cigaret
smoking conducted by the Rock Island
branch of the Woman's Christian
Temperance union. What is Harmful
in the Use of Cigarets?" is the title
of her paper. 1t is as follows:
1T is almost impossible to get any
information about the making of cigar
cts for the manufacturers never tell or
show how cigarets are made, but the
little that We could get goes to show
how injurious they are to the human
body.
THE tobacco used in the cheaper
grade of cigarets Is made from old
cigar stubs, all tobacco dropped on the
floor, sawdust and the stems of the
tobacco plant which cannot be used
otherwise. Opium, cocaine, nicotine
and arsenic, which are powerful drugs,
are injected by an atomiZer. This Is
then forced into small pieces Of rice
paper which is bleached in arsenic.
The tobacco used in the better grade
OF cigarets is made by pressing the to-
bacco leaves together and then cutting
them into small, narrow strips, and
these are forced into small pieces OF
rice paper. Cigarets are often made by
hand, but the majority are made by
machinery.
In using tobacco We take the poison
into the tissues. The chewer gets the
poison through the tissues with which
the tobacco comes in contact The
cigaret smoker inhales, and he gets the
most harm because the membranes Of

asylums are but the outgrowth of the
cigaret habit. The percentage Of in
mates in these asylums who have used
cigarets is greater than those who are
alcoholic drinkers.
Business men and business COM
panies will not employ men or boys
who spend their time and money for
cigarets, for their system is so in
jured by this habit that they cannot
give honest service to their employers.
1.-THE time is already at hand when
smokers will be barred out of positions
which demand quick thought and ac-
ton. Already tobacco is forbidden

the throat absorb the poison most rap
idly. The tobacco in the cigaret is no
more harmful than it is in a pipe or
cigar Sometimes the cheaper grades
contain less nicotine, for they are not
so pure. The smoke from a pipe or
cigar is usually absorbed by the mouth,
nose and throat, while the smoke from
the cigarets is absorbed by the wind
pipe and bronchial tubes. Nearly all
boys who smoke start with cigarets
and this is the worst form of smoking
that there is Cigarets stunt the
growth Of boys, making them stupid,
dull and lazy The nicotine discolors
the teeth and finger nails, making
them dirty yellow, and it also stiffens
the joints.
THE most harmful ingredients in
cigarets are opium and cocaine. These
drugs are used so as to give any one
who uses them the drug habit. and if
any one acquires this dreadful habit it
is almost impossible to stop using
them. Nicotine Is a poisonous alko-
loid extracted from tobacco and is sold
by druggists to kill insects. The
cigaret smoke contains sediment
which can easily be seen on hand
kerchief if it is held up where the
smoke can collect on it. This sediment
is nicotine and gradually settles and
fills up the lungs and throat Of the
smoker. The arsenic with which the
paper is bleached is also powerful
| poison.

nails, for it is said that every cigaret
smoked SO injuries the system that it IL
