The Life Extension Institute, Of which
EI- President Taft is Chairman Of the Board
Of Directors. is said to possess the most
reliable statistics obtailsble on the effects
Of oyer-indulgences on ones health
The following extracts should be OF in
terest to persons using tobacco to excess.
One statement reads: The vital statistics
show that diseases Of the heart and circu-
lation are rapidly increasing in this country
In which the per capita consumption (of
tobaeco) has rapidly increased y recent
years, while in the United Kingdom where
these diseases are decreasing there mas been
no material increase in the use Of tobacco
and the per capita consumption is less. than
ens-third that Of the United States. The
wen known effects Of tobacco on the heart
and circulation should lead one tc pause and
consider the possible cost of this indulgence.
especially as IL Is difficult to determine years
In advance whether one is endowed with
sufficient resistance to render so-calied mod
crate smoking comparatively harmless.
Those who smoke should have q thorough
physical examination to determine the con-
dition Of the heart and blood pressure"
Most people who use tobacco immoder-
ately have no idea Of the harm that Is be-
ing done, because the harm grows 80 slowly,
the damage il not noticeable for some time

The System Needs Help in Re-

When you have finally recov-
cred from the severest stage Of
the "flu" you find it almost impos-
sible to get back your strength and
visor. and for weeks and weeks
you still feel the disabling effects
of the disease.
For the after effects of the flu"
pervade the entire system and leave
the body out of gear. You are
weak and sore and the nervous
system seems thoroughly out Of
tune. Often the appetite is badly
impaired. the stomach upset. and a
rundown. good for nothing feel
ing seems to have possession Of
the entire body.
You must realize that you are
not entirely out of danger until
your full strength and vitality is
renewed. and the system restored
to such perfect condition that j,
will have its former ability to
throw off disease germs that are
always present.
But you cannot hope to regain
your oh-time visor and strength
unless you give nature assistance
in repairing the damage that has
been done to your system by this
severe disease. Then. too, you
want to avoid another attack Of
the flu. which is another impor-
tant reason why you should do
everything to put the body in such
robust and perfect condition that
you will not fall a victim to the
epidemic which medical authorities
predict will return next winter,
with renewed severity.

Russia. perhaps things would to-
day have reached a stage II will
take a few more years to attain.
The greatest enemies Russia has
are those Russians who refuse to
see that.
with all our wealth in lumber,
mines. oil. gold and platinum. we
hold cards which the rest of the
world wants us to play upon the
table. Russia must fight against
that. Russia must belong to the
Russians. not be a milch COW for the
foreigner.
Hope Lies In Industry.
She must become, in time. an
Industrial democracy. not remain an
agricultural republic or monarchy.
The whole future OF the world be-
longs to industry. consequently in
dustry must be organized. This we
are proceeding to do.
TT Is ridiculous to say that we
aim at a partition of the worlds
riches, and that we refuse to allow
one man more of them than another.
The very fact that we have a scale
of salaries varying with the apti-
tudes of the people proves that such
is not the case. But we are doing
our best to eliminate the many para
sites who formerly were living at
the expense Of the Russian nation"
