of the boys put in jail charged with

ninety boys put in Jail in Kansas CITY
eighty EIGHT of them used cigarettes
A New York magistrate says that
ninety-nine out of every hundred
boys brought before him accused of
violating the law were users of cigar

prostitutes and madmen smoke?
The cigarette il a demoralizer of
youth. A smoker has no sense of right
or wrong. He will steal his mothers
purse or let the family suffer for
lack of food in order to use the
money for tobacco.
Smoking hinders spiritual work.
One seldom hears of q smoking
preacher, and there are never many
conversions in a church where the
minister, Sunday school superin-
tendent or teachers smoke. Tobacco
leads into bad associations and bad
company.
At one university tobacco was
sold by the university and on its
grounds. The college authorities soon
saw that smoking was harmful to
students no matter in what depart
ment Of college work they were
studying.
Tobacco users are robbed of all
sense of decency and courtesy. Home

poisoned atmosphere. This has

It is stated that 100000 pounds Of
paper are used yearly for cigarette
wrappers. One pound of paper will
make 10000 cigarette wrappers.
The general impression prevails
that alcohol is more deadly than
tobacco. This is only because the
effects of alcohol are more immedi-
ately seen.
Death often follows an operation
among those whose wealth has been
injured by the habitual use of TO-
bacco, and cigarette smokers usually
fail to rally after an operation.
Cigarettes are the worst form in
which tobacco is used It is not 50
much because of the large percent
age of nicotine but on account of the
habit cigarette smokers have of in
haling the smoke. It then goes to
tho lungs, where it is more readily
absorbed than in the mouth. Gig
arctic smokers become more enslaved
to the habit than the one who smokes
cigars or pipes
People say that they use to-
bacco to quiet their nerves but by
doing this they are preventing the
nerves from doing their God-ordained
function; for a nerve that is not SEN
sative is of no use. Tobacco only
poisons or benumbs them. BY using
tobacco a mans sense of hunger may
be gone, but the body's need of food
remains.
Insurance companies always ask
whether their applicant smokes. In
contemplating a serious operation the
physician inquiries if the patient is
smoker. Athletes are forbidden
to smoke. Cigarette smokers are an
easy prey to disease. Does this
not heln prove that cigarettes are
harmful?
The general physical influence of
cigarettes on man is, it impairs di-
gestion, depresses the vital organs,
causes the limbs to tremble, and
weakens or otherwise disorders the
heart. Even blindness sometimes
follows excessive use Of tobacco.
The cigarette deadens the intel
lect as surely as it is done by NOR
phine and other narcotics. Smokers
will find it hard to get a place in
business offices for they are not able
to think well and lose their nerve at
a critical point. This is especially
true of men who wish to get posi-
tion on railroads. They are liable to
lapses of memory and it would not
be safe to trust the lives Of passen-
gers in their hands.
Cigarette smokers make the vast
majority of mistakes in bookkeeping.
Cigarettes hold a young mans
brain in an iron grip which keeps it

Some folks say direct-in-the-mail
advertising pays more than news
paper advertising. Did you see
that two-page ad of Montgomery
Ward & Company last Monday in
the Daily News? Wonder what
they had that in there for? Sup
pose it was because the Daily News
must have support? No, my friend,
the Montgomery Ward company had
that ad in the newspaper because
they knew that in this way they
could reach more people for less
money than any other way. About
the only smart people we know Of
who recommend direct-by-mail adj

paper advertising are the paper
companies, and they have an ak to
grind. Wake up, think for your
self; the good things aren't sold;
you must hunt them up and buy

your door every day with pro-

reason that he hasn't something to

And now we have what is known
as the Lords Day Alliance" party,
whose secretary has branded every
one as a criminal who does not be-
heve as he does. His idea is to
make Christians by law insofar as
the observance of Sunday is con-
eerned. He says that man should
get out of the country who don't
like the several and varied Sunday
laws. His idea seems to be that
go-as-you-please all the week but
that the police should see that you
go as he and his association says

WILL. CONCRETE DO FOR MIN
NESOTA?

Mr.. Babcock's program for per-
manent road construction for 1923
and 1924, which includes the issu-
ing of $20,O00,000 in bonds for
these two years, seems to have met
with some opposition in the state
legislature.
All along we have felt that, not
withstanding the distinct merit of
Mr.. Babcock's plan, in the natural
order of things there would prob
ably develop some opposition TO it,
but we hardly expected it from the
angle whence it came, viz: The
question as to whether concrete is
practical for roads in Minnesota.
AS we think of it now and there
was just one other point that might
De raised and that was whether Mr..
3abcock has been efficient in the
conduct of the Highway Depart
gnent and would be capable of the
judicious handling of this larger
amount. As to the capabilities of
Mr.. Babcock and his assistants
here never has been any question
n our minds, and apparently the
legislators feel the same way about
| t, else this would have been
brought out as prop at least for
The argument against haste in build
ng concrete roads.
With procession insistence for
economy this year still fresh in our
minds, it was only natural that the
question of bonds of any kind for
any purpose whatsoever stampeded
| he legislators until they were con-
vinced, as everyone is now, that il
would not raise taxes one penny
but merely be another way of using
he automobile license fund. Then
| with those objections cleared away
.ame the frail argument regarding
concrete for permanent roads.
We are not experienced road
builders, but for a great many years
We have had to do with matters
hat intimately pertained to roads
and road building We do know
If concrete roads that have been
Quilt as long as twenty years under
ioil and climatic conditions quite

many miles, and they are still in

Dads in Minnesota which, while
hey have cracked and bulged ur

obstruction, are in good condition
low, and if these same roads mac

methods now in use and the High
