I've yet to find anybody who held
that cigarette smoking was helpful"
said Mrs. Forsythe. while there are
thousands and thousands OF former
and present users, physicians and
others who have made a special
study OF narcotics, who are ready to
testify TO Its actual harm. I'm un-
alterably opposed TO the use OF to-
bacco altogether. II is too closely
linked with alcohol. and We all know
what that does TO human. There
is a physician In Detroit who for
years has devoted himself almost
entirely TO treatment OF alcoholic
cases who says that smoking leads
TO drinking liquor.
His work has shown that where
men have taken liquor cures the
treatment invariably failed where
the patient continued smoking cigar
cites. II was simply substituting
one narcotic for another. A man
smoked twice as many cigarettes
when he quit drinking. and II was
not long before his system again
craved alcohol
Il am horrified at the spread OF
cigarette smoking among women OF
so-called society. And I'm further
astounded to think they defend IT,
They argue that what man can do
woman can. which to my mind Is
no argument at all. Also that II has
been the custom In certain countries
for centuries. I'll. grant the custom
and also that II has existed In GER
tain sections of this country for
many years.

were taking a very keen interest in

considered dangerous enough to be
beheaded. while another was COM

American missions are doing much
for these women, and the Christian
schools established by them are
looked to hopefully in the way of
results. Their aim is to train up
Christian teachers. as it is considered
that the Chinese women will do
far more valuable work in evangsl-

SANITY IN MUSICAL WORLD

Sure to Come.

Summing up of the musical year
has begun-though the drums, flies,
trumpets and bands in certain of our
parks are stimulating the public spir-
its and keeping up the popular en-
ergy. On the whole we have been
generous. Mr.. Percy Scholes' list of
interned musicians contains no alien
composers and performers in English
prisons. But harmony was split.
Brodsky (of Manchester and Russia)
was caught in Germany, Richter re-
nounced his English honors, Kreisler
went to fight for Austria, and Lamond
was shut up at Rubleben. Harmony
was disturbed. In England the war
threatened for a moment to banish
the music made In Germany But
sanity prevailed. Wagner could not be
banished. The Royal Philharmonic re-
fused to abolish tho bust of Beetho-
ven from its place before the orches-

cestry was proved to be Flemish.

WAR HAS SCARED BIRDS AWAY
Luxembourg Deserted, and storks, n
10 Asserted, left Russia Month
Earlier Last Year.

The war is having a great influ-
ence on the birds throughout Eu-
rope, especially OH the birds of pas
sage.
Last autumn the storks left Rus
STA and Galicia a month earlier than
usual they were noticed in focks of
thirty to a hundred on their way
through Austria. where they alighted
on the roofs and chimneys of the
houses to rest before continuing
their journey south.
Other birds of passage have de-
serted their old routes of flight and
have chosen new air roads along less
disturbed regions. Both going and
returning, these birds were observed
in places where they we're never seen
before, and were missed in the local..
ties where battles were raging.
In Luxembourg, where otherwise
mllllons OF Dlrds cOngregate IN leafy
forests, there are now scarcely any
to be seen OF heard.
AS an instance how the birds have
deserted Luxembourg, nature lover
writes that "whole oat fields have
sprung up along the roads and in the
market squares of the little towns
ana villages where the horses have
been fed as the cavalry passed
through"
This would never have been pos
sihle in ether years. for the birds
would soon have picked up every
grain that fell to the ground.-Sci-
