WHAT PROMINENT MEN SAY
OF THE CIGARETTE

The question of the use of tobacco
and cigarettes by the young men who
make application to us for employment
comes in for serious consideration and
if there is evidence of excessive use
the applicant is refused place in our
ranks.-John Wanamaker.
Marshall Field & Co., Chicago, the
greatest department store in America,
bar cigarette smoking boys, giving as
their reason: "For many years we
have not engaged boys who smoke ci-
garettes as we believe it to be detri
mental to their development"
If you will study the history of al
most every criminal you will find that
he is an inveterate cigarette smoker.
Boys, through cigarettes, train with bad
company. The cigarette drags them
down.-Henry Ford.
The cigarette habit is a maker of in
valids, criminals and fools.-Hudson
Maxim.
In letter to Henry Ford from
Thomas A. Edison, we read: "Friend
Ford: The injurious agent in cigar
cites comes principally from the burn
ing paper wrapper. The substance
thereby formed is called 'acrolin.' it
has a violent action on the nerve cen
ters, producing degeneration of the
cells of the brain, which is quite rapid
among boys. Unlike most narcotics
this degeneration is permanent and un-
comfortable. I employ no person who
smokes cigarettes. Your, Thos. A. Edi-
SON

is smoking helpful. Besides constitut-

between millions of people and HON :
comforts.
The following from Luther Burbank;
1re in their graves, who gave promise
of making happy and useful citizens.
There is no question whatever that
cigarettes alone were the cause of their
destruction. No boy living would com
, ncncc the use Of cigarettes if he knew
what useless. soulless. worthless
thing they would of make him.
Yet in the face of all this truthful
testimony, according to report in local
pancr. our enlisted boys who went to
tho front were given cigarettes-docs
our government want less efficient

GRAND RAPIDS, WOOD COUNTY.
The STORY OF 4
100000 FISH
From Newspaper Reporter to Mil
Iionaire, All on an Idea,
Reads Like Modern
Fiction.

One day a fair-haired reporter on
the old Virginia Pilot in Norfolk, Va,
entered the city editors room from the
art department with a queer-looking
snapshot photograph he had taken
that morning while boating on the
James river.
''What is it," growled the editor.
Cant you see!" said the youth. "'It's
a fish. They call 'em 'croakers' be-
cause they sing when you land them
on the bank"
''Prima donna or a tenor?' grinned
the editor.
Then he took another look. The
photograph of a singing fish was suf-
icienrly unique to interest him. "What
are you going to do with it," he asked.
I'm going to write story about
1t and put it in the paper" snapped
the reporter. Maybe I'll make mil
lion dollars with it,
That was four years ago. The re
porter's name was J. Ernest William
son and he is now on the road to his
million. He wrote the best fish story
that was ever told, and printed it IN
der the photograph. A few days later
it startled the discerning eyes. of a
sedate editor on the Scientific Ameri-
can in New York, the hardest paper
in the world for press agent to cajole,
bribe or tickle into printing anything
that isn't true or scientific.
The New York editor sent a request
for the original photograph of that fish
and gave 1t a page Of space along with
the Virginia Pilot reporters little
yarn, adding a few inches to the fish
story himself. That was only the be-
ginning.
One day an idea popped into his
head. He lay awake nights thinking
about it. Then he took his brother into
his confidence and together they capi-
taliZed that photograph of a fish into
a 100000 stock company. A dozen
Virginia milliOnaires supplied the
money. Then the reporter invented
submarine chamber, large enough to
accommodate five men, attached it to
his fathers submarine tube, an inven-
ton the United States navy knows
all about and the Williamson Broth
ers went far out into the big ocean.
This time they took along d motion
picture camera. Safely hidden in their
submarine chamber they went along
the bottom Of the ocean turning the
crank Of their camera and feasting
their eyes, fathoms below the sur
face, on a thrilling panorama of deep
sea wonders. They photographed what
no human being had ever seen before.

Big Game Hunting on the Ocean Bed,
One of a Million Scenes.

where the big game was to be Iguas..
Suddenly a shark appeared in the fog
gy distance. Presently others came
in view until soon a dozen Of the mon
sters were circling around and eyeing
us ferOciously. With no life lines to
haul us up we had to meet the sharks
in their material element. Our fifty
pound shoes would not permit US TO
proceed faster than a walk and l would
have collapsed if the water hadn't
held me up with its own pressure.
"As the beasts came nearer [ forgot
all about my gun. I was simply frozen
stiff. Then one big fellow charged right
at me with its jaws open and its six
rows of saw teeth flashing. | raised
my gun and jabbed him square in the
mouth, expecting a life and death bat
tie, but he turned tail and glided off
The natives had told me sharks were
towards and maybe they are, but I'll
never take another chance like I did
that Gay. If there are any more sub
marine pictures to be taken, the Uni
verSal will have to hire another boy"

supremacy has been the period Of ey-
er growing freedom Of the seas.
Trade of other nations multiplied

England adopted the most liberal
navigation policy ever known throw
ing open even the home coast-wise
trade to all vessels without restriction.

Years ago her ables men saw that sh9

enjoy and develop her Possessions
Her situation inclined her to a iber-
al, peaceful program; and it as highly
probable that she would have the wis

Captain Nemo's Submarine, the Fore
runner of the Deutschland.

Over coral reefs and past the sleeping
wrecks of sunkep ships they went.
They crossed ocean meadows to the
subaqueous forest where ravenous
monsters lurked, until they came to
the tropics. There they stopped in
the celebrated marine gardens of indie
scribable beauty.
They had photographed sharks and
parrot fishes, deadly baracOutas, sea
urchins and octopi, and did it as cas-
lily as that first photograph of a fish
was made. One day Ernest William
son, armed with a knife, stripped and
dived into the ocean among the sharks.
He fought a man-eater while his broth
er photographed him in the daring act.
But the reporter didn't bring back
any more pictures to the editor of the
Virginia Pilot. He threw up his job,
and with his brother went in strong
for moving pictures under the sea.
Their latest exploit was to build a sub
marine and take film actors under the
ocean to picturize Jules Verne's Wild
est dream, Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea-" They have made the
greatest hero in fiction, Jules Verne's
Captain Memo, live again. They be-
lieve that million will soon be in
sight.
Together with their father, they are
now working on a submarine torpedo
chamber with which they hope to po-
| lice the entire ocean coast line and
protect American harbors from invad-
ing submersibles, thus going a step
further than anything Jules Verne's
hero ever thought of doing. And this
has all come about through the photo
graph of fish.
