Evil of the Cigarette.

Essay written by Maizie Kemp.
Prize winner in 4th grade Edgefeld
School.)
The cigarette is made of ground
up tobacco, rum and put in thin
paper.
The cigarette is made to suit the
smoker.
A cigarette weakens the lungs, the
heart, also the brain. The cigarette
makes you nervous. 1t is an unclean
habit. Look on the fingers of man
or boy who smokes cigarettes, their
fingers are coated with nicotine.
Some boys have no time to lose in
growing by smoking cigarettes. They
will ruin the health.
A man that smokes cigarettes is
more easy to catch consumption, flu
and other diseases.
Smokers spend so much money on
cigarettes.
1t is right to spend money for

The Cigarette Habit.

Milton SWearlngen's essay. Prize
winner in fifth grade.)
A cigarette is pulverized tobacco,
wrapped in tissue paper and stuck to-
gether. A match is struck to start the
tobacco to burning-then the boy
puts this into his mouth and draws
the smoke and inhales it and blows
| it out through his nose.
Of course this smoke is very in
furious to the lungs, because of the
deadly poison called nicotine, which
causes the lungs to be impaired and
soon cannot throw off the germs.
This soon develops into tuberculosis
which means death.
When the boy takes his first cigar
cite he is beginning very bad habit
that will injure his health, ruin his
nerves and cloud his brain, so he will
never be a deep scholar or broad
thinker.
A cigarette fend hardly ever
makes his grade in one year for he
has lost all his class pride.
A boy that begins to smoke cigar
ettes,. or to use tobacco in any form,
is making a dwarf of himself and will
never be a strong man. physically
or mentally. A cigarette smoker can
not stand diseases for his constitu-
tion is broken.
The cigarette is an unclean habit,
and it stains the teeth just as it does
the hands. The clothes of a smoker
smell like tobacco.
The cigarette habit is time-was-
ter and expensive, too. The business
man will not employ a smoker for he
knows the smoker will waste time
He is not energetic careful nol
thoughtful.
1t seems to be a growing habit fol
great many soldiers who did not
smoke before to come out of the
army smoking. They saw the other
boys smoking. After taking the first
one they wanted more because ii
was stimulating. But they would have
L
been better without the stimulant.
The cigarette effects the nerves
and causes the people to be nevous
wrecks.
If boy will not yield to the temp
tation of smoking until he is twenty
one years of age, he will not likely
become a smoker, he will have learn,
ed the evil of it.
1t would be a good thing for the
country if laws were made to stop
the manufacture of the cigarette.

8 CITIES AND
 TOWNS REFUND
 DEALERS CASH
Commissioners Decline to Make Public Names of
 Communities.

Eight towns and cities throughout the county have refunded to the county commissioners the money due
 to liquor dealers for the unused DOT tions of licenses issued for the year ending December 1, 1919. The con-
 missioners declined to give out the
 names of these towns or cities today. stating that they would make an an
 nouncement when the complete re-
 turns are in. Several weeks ago the
 commissioners sent notices to each city and town asking that the money
 be refunded. When the commission CTS receive the money they will re- turn it to the dealers.
 The commissioners did not care to i express an opinion as to what should be done if a dealer who has bGen con- victed in the federal court of viOlat- ing the liquor law should apply for a i refund This question is causing some i agitation in Hartford county, where some dealers were arrested for sell l ing wood alcohol. The Fairfield ! county commit ssioners said the ques- 1 tion had not come up in this county and they would wait and let States ! Attorney General Healy pass upon the l point.

SEVEN BURNED TO DEATH IN PITTSBURC FIRE 100 People Driven To Street In Scanty Attire By
 Flames.

Pittsburgh, Jan. 31-Seven persons are known to have been burned to death early today when fire, famed by a high wind, destroyed fifteen temporary residences, occupied by employees of the Carnegie Steel Co.'S plant at Clairton, on the Mononga- hela river, 5 miles from Pittsburgh. An office building also was con- stunned.
 The fire, thought to have started in a building used as a kitchen, en- tirely destroyed the sixteen struc- lures within fifteen minutes. More than 100 occupants of the houses which were one story frame buildings were forced to flee in scant attire.
 The Clatrton fire department, as. sisted by the fire fighters of the Car. negie plant, tried to control the blaze but the effort was fruitless.
 As soon as the fire had. burned it. self out, firemen started a search o1 the ruins and within a few minutes seven bodies had been recovered. The search was continued, for it was inn possible to ascertain if all other occu- pants of the houses had escaped.

Factories Of City To

MANY ESTABLISHING s'COsT' STORES WITHIN THEIR OWN CONFINES FOR THEIR
 EMPLOYES

The High Cost of Living is going to be hit a hard jolt in Bridgeport in the near future. especially in the line of fOl 5tuffs, if the feeling seemingly prevalent among the manufacturers at the present time continues, and it is virtually only a question of time before the various factories of the city attempk to solve the high price problem by establishing ''cost" stores within their own confines for the ben eft of their employees.
 Already the Acme Shear Co. in Hicks street, has established a grocery store in which all of the non-perish- able staples are carried, these being sold to employees at cost price. The store was formally started Friday and since it's inauguration has been a com plete success, all of the Shear em- ployes taking advantage of the low prices of the company store compared with those charged by outside dealers.
 Several truck loads of goods were brought to the Shear company We'd nesday and the business gained an active start Friday morning. For the present only n-perishafble goods will be handled but as the store becomes more and more efficient it is planned to add perishable articles such as but ter, eggs, etc, and possibly also ila- troduce clothing and other necessities of life.
 It was stated at the Acme company this morning that the idea had ger minated in the. buying of carload lots of flour and potatoes some time ago. this scheme meeting with so much
