In the Franco-Prussian war the
siege of Belfort lasted from Novem-

the garrison were thousands of re-
serve troops, among whom there were
not few artists and other profess
sional men. From time to time dur
ing the winter the men, to amuse
themselves, made statues in the
snow Then the sun would shine and
there would be no more statues.
Among the garrison was the man
who gave to America her heroic
figure Of liberty, Bartholdi, the
sculptor One day he modelled a lion
from snow, and the half frozen sol
diers, as they looked with pride and
delight on what the sculptor had
wrought, with renewed courage

1t May Cost a Precious Life to Fir
Out by Experiment.

The heart of every user of tobacco
bears a double burden. 1t does its
allotted task and then fights nicotine
for supremacy. AS long as the heart
wins he lives; when it loses he dies,
but before the final victory of nico-
tine you pass through many stages
Of decline and decay and suffer many
pangs. Hearts are like human beings
some are stronger than others,
therefore some hearts will stand
more tobacco than others, but there
is limit to what any heart can
stand. The man who puts this addi-
tional strain on his heart dozen
times day by smoking cigarettes, a
pipe or cigars-or chewing tobacco
is taking a madman's chance with
health and life to lose and nothing
to win but the chance that he may
not lose them He is indulging in
a costly habit at the expense of pre-
cious health. Ask any doctor any
where, and he will tell you that using
tobacco is injurious and that it is far
better to quit the habit than to ex-
pertinent to find how much tobacco
your heart will stand without serious
results.
But the thought of quitting is IN
pleasant to most men-even to those
who know that tobacco Injuries them
and to really quit takes more will
power than they have and causes
more suffering than they can volun-
tarily endure. To quit the habit make
it easy for yourself by getting Nico-
tol tablets and taking them as direct

its departure is a pleasure equal to
its indulgence.
If you want to know how much
easier it is to quit the habit with
Nicotol than without it, go twenty
four hours without tobacco and note
what an effort 1t costs you, then be-
gin using it as usual and take Nico-
toll tablets. At the end of week
discontinue smoking or chewing for
day and it is probable you will
have no desire to resume. AT least
your desire will be greatly diminish
ed and another week or two should
make it not only possible, but a plea

NOTE: Dr. Conner, formerly OF
John Hopkins Hospital, under whose
advice Nicotol has often been used,

to him: 81 have known Nicotol to

testimony centered about that given

to tell the jury that he shot Ham.

he felt that his life was in danger.
Boat House Scene Of Tragedy.
The crime for which Higham was
of May IS, at his little house boat
down below the elevator. A party
of women and the two men were in
the boat house that night, and when
they started to leave something came
UP to disturb the tranquility of the
scene, and Hammond and Higham
were said to have mixed things over
by the railroad tracks. The women
left the boat house, and no one was
witness to the closing scene of
the quarrel.
According to the testimony Ham
mond is said to have cholred Higham
and to have demanded money.
Higham got away and started for his
house and locked the door. 1t was
then. according to his story, that
Hammond came after him, with a
club, tried to beat the door in, and
that he shot in self defense.
The bullet pierced Hammond's
lungs and killed him. The assailant,
according to the police, hid the gun
and telephoned that there was
drunk man down there. Later he
confessed that he had gun and had
shot Hammond, but that he did it in
self-defense. Statements were secured
from the other witnesses and they
were released.
Higham has been in the county Jail
since that time awaiting trial. When
the grand jury met for this term of
court it indicted him, and the state
brought him to trial this week.

Legislation to remedy the unemploy-
ment situation and to grant some OF
the demands of organized labor may
be expected from the new Congress.
Several measures were introduced
at the last session to provide work for
soldiers, war workers and Others who
were thrown out of employment be-
cause of the signing of the armistice,
but not one of them passed.
The most important of these meas
ures was Secretary of Interior Lanes
plan for utilizing all unused land 10
provide homes and farms for soldiers.
Lanes bill will be re-introduced early
in the special session.
The bill last session carried an APP
preparation of 500, 600, 900. but 1t Is
likely the secretary will double this a
mount in his new bill. The total cost
OF the improvement will reach $27,-
0O0, 600, 900.
There are about 275,O00, 900 acres
of arid lands which can be irrigated,
swamp lands which can be drained,
c~ut-over timber lands which can be
stumped and made farms. Lane pro-
poses to divide all this land. as 1t is
improved. into communities. through
which good roads will be made,
s~ehoolhouses and community centers
built and a farmhouse and barn on
farm. The land will be plough
ed and its first crop put in. Then each
farm is to be turned over to a pur-
chaser. who is allowed up to 40 years
to pay the government the assessed
cost.

Then when they want odd jobs or any
| work done, they will place the cards
in the window and the first scout per-

| and agrees to the task for a certain
number of tickets, no money entering

| will receive credit at headquarters for
the tickets he turns in and an accurate
