rs SMOKING
REALLY HARMFUL?

There is much that might be said for smok-
ing, and much against IL. And there has been
much more said against il than for IT,
Az the present time, the abolition Of tobacco
is the goal OF our professional puritans The
obnoxious weed is coming in for its full share
OF censure. But is smoking really as harmful
as some would have us believe? We have often
wondered and are still wondering.
Out of the one hundred millions OF people
comprising this great country of ours, it is safe
TO say that seyenty-fiye per cent of the men are
Users of tobacco in some form. And if we can
believe our professional purtans, these men are
running their health with the filthy weed. Some
of them are, perhaps, and others are not
Smoking is pretty much like great many 9TH
or things. Thousands OF persons have gone in
sane with religious fervor, and yet no one would
suggest abolishing religion on this account
Thousands OF men may be running their health
through the excessive use of tobacco but to the
millions of men who use il in moderation il is a
solace and an innocent pleasure, the evil effects
Of which are slight enough to be negligible
Perhaps il would be a good thing il tobacco
might be abolished entirely. But il can not be
lone by legislation. There are too many mil
lions of normal, law-abiding citizens who use to-
,acco moderately and like il, and who would OBJ
ect very strongly TO being branded as moral
epers for persisting in its use Better by far TO
breach moderation in smoking than to prohibit |
Z entirely and thus encourage the use of substi- |
utes a thousand times worse than tobacco. For /
he evil effects are caused by the abuse of to- |
'acco, and not by its use.

This road will connect Southern Idaho, and more

One trouble with our production is thar il is

BILL TO EXTEND
DC. WATERSYSTEM
Representative Moore's Pro-
poSaI for Connection With
Arlington County, Va.

Representative r. Walton Moore of
Virginia today introduced a bill
authorizing the connection of the
water system of the District of Co

He explained that the provisions are
practically as contained in a bill
during the Sixtieth Congress, making
provision for connecting the water
systems of the town Of Chevy Chase
District.
The Moore bill provides that the
District Commissioners shall be au-
thorized in their discretion, when the
interest of consumers of water in
the District of Columbia will not suf-
fer thereby, upon the request OF the
board of supervisors of Arlington
county. Va, to deliver water from the
District system to the Arlington
county sanitary district, which was
sembly of Virginia March 25, 1920.
1t provides also for connecting the
District water mains with water
mains in Arlington county over the
Francis Scott Key bridge.
A proviso is included that the ex-
penses of making such connection
shall be borne by Arlington county
which shall pay such charges for the
use of the water as may be determin-
ed from time to time by the Commits
sioners, the payment to be made under
regulations prescribed by the Com
missioners.
Another proviso gives the District
Commissioners the right at any time
to revoke any agreement that may
have been made.
