"Sore legs" is a term applied to

It originated years ago, l am told,

"Please find my husband. He is
working in a factory in your town
Tell him that the chickens won't lay

but they won't eat. If he knew this

COLORS IN TOBACCO SMOKE

Tobacco, when smoked. releases a
certain amount of selfconsumed pro-
duct in the form of smoke. With
very good tobacco. either as cigar,
cigarette, or in pipe, the particles
Of this smoke are inconceivably tiny
and therefore they catch only the
shorter wave lengths of light. These
wave lengths are blue. so it follows
that the smoke of good cigar, as
seen in bright light, reflects blush
color.
Cigar smoke. when seen between
the eye and the sun. no longer re-
fleets, but shows in its true color as
a sort of dark brown. If the smoke
is taken into the mouth it cools, and
the little particles join into larger
ones, so that they no longer catch
the blue waves only but the whole
light, and so appear white or color
less. Inferior tobaccos. too, give of
larger particles of smoke, which also
fail to catch the blue waves only
