Doctor Tells How to Detect Harmful Effects of Tobacco Try These SIMPLE TESTS

New York: Doctor Connor, formerly of Johns Hopkins hospital, says: Many men whi smoke, chew or snuff incessantly and who are seemingly healthy are suffering from progressive organic ailments Thousands of them would never have been afflicted had it not been for the use of tobacco, and thousands would soon get well if they would only stop the use of tobacco. The chief habit forming principle of tobacco is nicotine, a deadly poison which, when absorbed bv the system slowly affects the nerves, membranes, tissues and vital organs of the body. The harmful effect of tobacco varies and depends on circumstances. One v ill be afflicted with general debility, others with catarrh of the throat, indigestion, constipation, extreme nervousness, sleeplessness loss of memory, lack of will power, mental confusion, etc. Others may suffer from heart dieease, bronchial trouble, hardening of the arteries, tuberculosis, blindness or even cancer or the common affliction known as tobacco heart.

■ I flights of stair at a regular pace, then stop. If you find that you are out of • breath, your iieart beat is forced, tremb ■ | ling or irregular, you may be a victim • of functional or organic heart trouble. 1 If you feel that you must smoke, chew I | or snuff to quiet your nerves, you are ■ a slave to the tobacco habit, and are positively poisoning yourself with the . deadly drug, nicotine. In either ease ’ you have just two alternatives —keep on with the self-poisoning process ir- • respective of the dangers and suffer , the consequences, or give up the habit and escape the dangers.

OUR FIRST AIRPLANE RIDE {Continued from Page One) times you are not going to take hold again and then suddenly the machine catches, rights nself, and you sail and dip to earth. The drive up-side-down. 2,000 feet in the air is worth doing once. Lying on his back in the sky, one gets a new view of this terrestial globe, and marvels at the laws of nature, which prevents him from falling. | It was an unusual experience and a worth while sensation for which we thank Lieutenant Ballard and those who make it possible. The plane was of Curtiss make, eightI cylinder engine, and Lieut. Ballard is recognized as one of the best aeroi nauts in the IT. S. service today. He ' and his crew left at five o'clock for 'Fort Wayne, the lieutenant being accompanied from here by a representative of the News and Sentinel.

QUEER MARRIAGE CUSTOM Speaking of marriage among the Seri Indians, of Tiburon Island, or Shark Island, in the Gulf of California, off the coast of the state of Sonora, where the women are the heads of the families and rule the men, The Mexican Review says: “While of marriage ceremony, there is little or nothing, nevertheless their ’customs in this respect arc a trifle I odd and interesting. When a young man wishes to marry a girl, he makes ' application to the mother. The farther is ignored—it is none of his as- , fair. If the mother be disposed to look with favor upon the match, the youth is at once put to work to provide for all the tvants of the family of his adored one. He must be the hewer of wood and the drawer of water, likewise the killer of sharks and I the surveyor of sod of all kinds. He ' is not allowed to associate with the t family, not even to recline in the shade of the particular mesquite brush which they may have selected as a temporary abiding place, but I must keep at a distance and under i shelter of his own special bush, where -he cooks and eats his own food and I otherwise comerts himself in the hum i ble manner of a suppliant for a great ! favor —the acquisition of a feminine i“nv ter.” At the end of a year, if he shall have himself a good provided, he is accepted as a member of the famaily without further ceremony and the young couple begin life together under another mesquite clump.” THE STORK’S REPORT 1 • The girl baby born to Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Foughty has been named Marjorie Lucile.

PRAYER SERVICE TONIGHT “Life's Greatest Sham, or It’s Most . Vital Reality.” Such Is the description of prayer given by a recent writer. Have you ever had questions regarding prayer? Such as: Does God answei prayer? Does prayer interfere with the laws of the universe? Does prayer simply affect the one ; who prays, or does it really accom- ' plish Results outside him? The answers are to be found in two ways: By reference to God’s Word, and to the experience of men. Then we can in- ’ | quire whether our answers are rationX ’ ai and scientific. Such men as Foch. Haig, Wilson. Bryan and Sir Oliver - Lodge, the eminent scientist, have r studied the matter and practice prayer. Are YOU using this mighty ;! power to the full? We shall discuss 3 prayer in this way at the Presbyter- - ian prayer meeting tonight at 7:45. - The pastor will lead, and will discuss j the parables of “The Friend at Midj night,” (Luke 11. 5-8) and “The Unjust Judge, (Luke 18;l-8.)
