Scrap on Antl.Cioarette Bill.

A bill introduced in the house pro.
hibiting the sale Of cigarettes within
the state of Mississippi has stirred up
tobacco dealers and cigarette smokers
who are making a fight against the
measure. The bill came back to the
house with a favorable committee re-
port, which stiffened the backbone of
the proponents Of the measure and

L0ndon.-Heroism in civil life has
to be almost commonplace In an
empire torn by the bitter world strug-
gle, but shining instances are noted
by the government and reward given.
Nearly 400 medals for s~elf-sacrlfice In
time of danger have Just been dis
trlbuted In England, As many wom-
en- as men appear on the lists. Many
of them are telephone girls, who have
earned the admiration Of all London
by their fcarlessncSs In sticking to
their posts in the face of imminent
danger from exploding bombs hurled
from German Zeppelins and a~irplanes.
Some of those who are now wearing
medals are Lillian Ada Bostock, Flor
ence Steggel, Mabel Eleanor Clarke,
Florence Marie Cnss, Ethel Il. Hickey
and Bertha Florence Ester. These girls
have been pictured In the illustrated
papers OF London and have received
gifts from citizens. They are of the
same type MS the New York telephone
girls. They are ready to do their
work no matter how many bombs are
falling about them.

THRIFT STAMPS WORN AS
BEAUTY SPOTS BY GIRLS

Seattle, Wash.-Thrift stamps
ms beauty spots Hre popular with
Seattle girls. Unlike other
beauty spots thrift stamps are ,
not taxed and draw interest all
the time.
Miss Eva Henderson is the
first Seattle girl to start the fad
here. She generally wears her
thrift stamp pasted at an angle
on her forehead. Beauty spots
come under the general head of
cosmetics" and Uncle Sam
collects a tax of 80 per cent on
cosmetics. But the thrift stamp
even as a beauty spot cannot he
