FAGs HURT SCHOOL WORK.
T. ii. S. Youth Admit Tobacco Cause
of Poor Grades.

Smoking causes poorer school work !;
boys in the high school who have
formed the tobacco habit themselves
admit it. Seventy one students
pleaded guilty to smoking in answer
to tquestionnaires given out last week
by Prin. r. R. Cook. OF this number,
twenty admit they are receiving grades
below normal and four others say
Lady Nicotine is the cause of lowering
their department in class rooms. A
comparison of the Questionnaires
shows that only IA per cent of the
boys who do not smoke are receiving
grades below the average as COM
pared with "a per cent of those who
use tobacco. Cigarets are the most
popular form of tobacco, the question
naires indicate. Not student "fessed

by Lord Ashfield, president of the Brit

would supplant the United States in
the market she won in South America
during the war, which were recently
cabled to Argentina. have aroused
considerable feeling among Americans

here by a British advertising agency.

consul general, took exception, to them
as being hostile propaganda"
The amount of the Latin American

our manufacturers and the skill of our
tions of price and quality. With an
enormously valuable home market,
the United States has up to the pres
emit made virtually no concerted effort
to secure Latin American trade.
Demands Retraction.
Protesting against the habit attribut-
ed to some Americans in referring to
American importers and manufactur-

specific complaints had been made the
basis for general statements.

cluded. ''to learn to what extent such
complaints are kept alive in foreign

have in years but have gained twenty
pounds in weight" said Miss Ida Lit

Il had suffered so much and so
long" she continued, II had almost
given up hope of ever seeing another
we'll day. l could hardly eat a thing
without bloating all up with sour gas
and having such spells of paIpitation
az the heart and cramping pains L
could hardly stand it. I have often
seen the time when in five minutes
after eating / was in so much misery
that l would have to go and lie down,
and I just dreaded to eat on account
OF the suffering it caused me. My
Kidneys were also out of order, and
my back panied me fearfullys and 1
was often confined to my bed for two
or three weeks at a time. Many a
night i have stayed awake half the
night with my back hurting me so I
couldn't sleep, and the next day L
-woutd be almost wild with the head
sshe.
8 mo one will ever know how badly I
have really suffered, for words can't
describe it, but thanks to Tanlac all
my troubles have disappeared. I just
feel as we'll and as much like work as
did thirty years ago. L am eating
three hearty meals day and enjoy
them all and never feel a sign of indi-
gestion. Why. 1 am just like an en-
tirely different person, for I haven't
an ache or pain of any kind. 1 feel
so grateful for what Tanlac has done
for me I want to tell everybody about
Il, it may be the cause of some one
being benefited as I was.

SUICIDE IS ON INCREASE
Miserable Living Conditions Because ol
War Chief Cause Given.

New York, Jan. 2s.-Since the sign
ing of the armistice there has been
a constantly increasing number of
suicides everywhere. according to a
report issued today by the Save-a-Life
league. In Germany. Russia Syria,
and other foreign countries where the
number has been very large, the cause
is attributed to despair because of mis-
cradle living conditions brought about
by the war.
The report tabulates 5,121 cases of
suicide in the United States during
1919. OF these professions lawyers
led the list with 43, of which twelve
were judges; 36 victims were physi-
clans, 2S teachers and eleven clergy
men. The list included 20 presidents
of large business concerns and SO
prominent club members. millionaires
and wealthy society women. Unhappy
marital relations were responsible for
$50 tragedies. Men outnumbered
women, 1887 to 1857. but of the child
suicides 252 were girls and 225 boys.

immune.
