Conner Defends Proposed Cotton
 Legislation

Washington, April 17.-"Junker' attacks from cotton exchanges are being made on his amendment to the agricultural bill providing that half of deliveries on cotton contracts shall be of fair middling grades, Senator Conner, democrat, Alabama, declared in the Senate today.
 r Defending the so-called Conner amendment, the Alabama senator de- nied it would be injurious to cotton growers or seriously harm the eX- changes opposed to the legislation that the amendment is in the inter. est of the spinners also were denied by Senator Conner.
 The principal aim of the legislation Senator Conner said, is to equalize the contract and spot cotton mar kets and quotations.
 "The exchange propaganda" said Mir. Conner, charges that this amendment will make the contract market a spinner's market and can be worked to the hurt of the produ. cer and retailer. This charge is dogmatic, absolutely untrue and not scintilla or experienced or aced mic reason can be brought to sus- tain the charge. Absolutely ex change propaganda, unbelievable by any disinterested man and impos sible of proof"

Superintendent Bans
 Dance in School

Paris, Mo-, April 17-2emoving the crank from talking machine and taking off the disc, Supt. McGee of the public schools ended a dance at the schoolhouse. The seniors were having a reception and dancing was suggested. The photograph was started and several couples took the floor. A few minutes later the su- perintendent yanked off the crank and lifted off the disc. The dancers were asked to resort to some other diversion.
 "A large majority of the people who support our schools are opposed to dancing" said McGee. in explain ing his actions. "I believe they are entitled to respectful considera- tion. As long as I am superintend- ent there will be no dancing in the school buildings in this city. Per sonally am not opposed to the dance when it is held in the proper place and under proper conditions"

Nicotine Poisoning
It's Cause and Cure

hearts they know the real reason is tobacco. Diseases commonly known as heart trouble, kidney trouble, eye troubles, nervousness, loss of mem ory, general debility, loss of vigor, premature old age, stomach troubles and many other diseases may be greatly benefited and often cured by the elimination of Nicotine from the system. I am frequently asked, what is the remedy?" "How can get rid of the Nicotine in my sys- tenn ?" The answer is, cut down on your tobacco or stop it entirely. "ls there anything l can take to stop the craving for tobacco?" is anoth- CT question 1 am asked. Yes. is the answer. I have had remarkable sue cess with a simple table known as Nicotol It is absolutely harmless and contains no habit-forming drug. This remedy seems to quickly over
 come all desire for tobacco and it does not cost a fortune either. Should you wish to know positively if tobacco is injuring you, just make the following test: Take Nicoto| tablets for week or so and note how much peter you will feel. You will need no further evidence to
 convince you that tobacco is not
 necessary for your health or happ' =
 ness and you will be astonished and
 surprised at how easy it was to over come this injurious and useless
 habit Try it today before you for- get it and I know you will thank
 me for writing this article.
 1 NOTE: When asked about Nico- tol tablets one of our leading drug
 gists said, "They are simply won
 derful for the tobacco habit, away ahead of anything we have ever sold
 befoeor and we would not permit the
 use of our name unless the remedy possessed unusual merit" The manr-
 lecturers authorize every drug
 gist to refund the money to any
 body who is dissatisfied and Nicotol
 is sold in this city under an iron
 clad money-back guarantee by all up o-date druggists, including W. L. Dewoody and Mann's Pharmacy Advt,

conducted by all churches on these dates. These synods are Kentucky, Texas and Oklahoma. In Arkansas, Missouri, Florida and West Virginia, also considerable number of strong churches will observe these dates.
 In many of the southern states the finacial phase of the campaign was held March 21-28, as originally announced. In others it was changed to April 25-May 2, though, cores bonding with the Interchurch World Movement.
 The quotas for the three states who will use the later dates exclus- ively are as follows: Texas, S414,846; Kentucky, s222, ,699; Oklahoma, s33,- AIS. The other four states using these dates partially have goals as are here given: Arkansas, s124,S4o; Missouri, S19S,1 Florida, S121 ,615; West Virginia, S121, ,115.
 In those states where the every member canvass has already been conducted, the results have been ex- tremely encouraging. Final results are not in hand yet, but it is con fidently expected that the church will reach it's goal of S4,OOO,OOO.

Russians and Japs
 Still Fighting

Vladvistok, April 10.-Heavy fight ing between Russians and Japanese forces continues at Khabarovsk, on the Amur river, and casualties suf- fered by each side are heavy ac- cording to reports received here.
 Towns along the Ussuri river branch of the trans-Siberian rail road north of here, are all in the hands of the Japanese, but hundreds of Russians are fleeing to the hills, and have again started guerilla war fare.
 Arrests of Russians by Japanese in this city continue, but govern ment buildings are being returned to Russians and the red flag is re- appearing.
 General Krakovetsky, commander of the provisional governments troops here, has resigned and has been succeeded by General Soldiers, former commander in chief under the all-Russian government of Omsk who resigned his post when Ad- miral Kolchak assumed power there

active ingredient of tobacco and is
 deadly poison even in small doses.
 Fortunately in the use of tobacco
 we only get very minute doses to
 which the system seemingly becomes
 accustomed, but it acts as a slow poison just the same, and as such 1t
 does great injury to the human sys- tenn without making itself apparent to the average individual. Many say "Tobacco has no bad effect upon me-" Yet these same people could not under any circumstances be in duced to take even ehsmallest dose of other well-known poisons not nearly so dangerous in their action You have often heard the expression, "He has a tobacco cough" This is an irritation of the mucus membranes caused by Nicotine, and exposes the throat and lungs to germs which in many cases prove fatal. 1nflamed air passages frequently lead to in- factions such as rheumatism, scarlet fever, diptheria, tuberculosis and many other diseases. Continued ir- ritation of the throat through the use of tobacco has been held respon- sible for cancers to the tongue, throat and stomach. There is no question but that the continued use of Nico- tine as found in tobacco effects the optic nerve, thus weakening the eye sight and many cases of total blind ness may be traced to this subtle poison. Nicotine also causes thick ening of and contraction of the blood vessels which brings on high blood pressure, and with it sooner or later apoplexy, cerebral hemorrhage and paralysis. This is not a pleasant picture to the users of tobacco Some who use tobacco may go through life without experiencing any ot these symptoms, but these cases are comparatively rare. Frequently we find those who will not admit that they feel any evil effects because they hesitate to confess that thev lack the will power to stop the use of this poison, and they always ay tke blame for any illness caused by the excessive use of tobacco to some other cause, when down deep in theil
