WOULDN'T PLEAD IS BOUND OVER

SAM CUMMINS' BOND PLACED AT $1,000—MAN IS POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED —IN CITY

ONLY FEW DAYS

Sara Cummins, who was arrested in this city Saturday night on complaint of James Rogers, for forgery, was bound over to the Circuit Court Monday afternoon by Mayor Ora Myers, who placed his bond at $1,000 and remanded him to jail in default of bail.

He Refused to Plead

Cummins waived arraignment and refused to plead. The mayor entered a plea of not guilty for him, and then upon the showing of the checks, goods recovered, and his positive identification, the prisoner was bound over.

Blind Man Turns Him Down Cummins-tried to cash one check at the store of Frank Lineback, the grocer, but Mr. Lineback turned down the proposition. The checks that have turned up are four in number and total $54.00, the most of which he recived in cash, making only small purchases at each place. He was positively identified by seven different people from the stores, as the man who gave the checks.

Said Duncan was Employer He claimed he had been cutting corn for James Duncan, northwest of town, but the name of the purported writer of the checks was James E. Duncan, while the Mr. Duncan, northwest of town, is James M. "Again he signed his own name differently to the checks, writing it G. E. Dickson, J. P. Dickson and S. P. Dickson. Duncan's name on one check was signed "Duncun." The Duncan he» claims he had been working for and whom he said issued tire checks, has a guardian.

Gave Two Names

The man said when first arrested that his name was Dickson, as appeared on the checks, but later said that it was Samuel P. Cummins. He has been in Greenfield less than two weeks, it seems. He is a native of Lancaster, Ohio, where his father, "Mickey" Cummins was mayor a term, later going to Columbus, Ohio.

Will Look Up His Record Mayor Myers will look up the prisoners police record in the two Ohio cities named, and learn all there is to know about him before his case comes up for trial in the Hancock.Circuit Court*

Goods Packed to Leave When the officers went to the rooms of Cummins and wife, they found some of the goods purchased with the checks, but some of them had been packed in a suit case, or grip, which Mrs. Cummins had with her at the home of a nearby relative. She refused to permit the officers to open the grip at first. The new shoes bought at the. Rogers store and some other goods were found in the grip, while the rain coat was found in their room. Mr. Rogers identified the rain coat positively as the one worn by the man who bought the shoes and gave him the check. The identification mark was a slit in the left sleeve at the elbow. Mr. Rogers said when the transaction had been completed, the man held up his arm, and said he would have to buy a new rain coat, as that one was coming to pieces.

TRAMP CAUGHT SATURDAY WAS RELEASED MONDAY

The tramp, giving his name as Paul McGuire, who was caught last Saturday by the city officials over in Jackson township, and held as a crime suspect, was released Monday, as there was no charge on which he could be held over fortyeight hours.

...THE USE

(A Personal Letter to Young Men by Winficld S. Hall, Ph. D., M. D.)

There are two reasons why I feel justified in addressing to the young men of our great republic a personal letter upon the subject of tobacco. In the first place, I have been associated with young men for many years in several institutions of learning and have come to know the young American in general, and several thousands of them in particular. In the second place, I have had personal experience with tobacco, and am very familiar with its effects upon the system, from having experienced all of its pleasures and many of its objectionable features. My readers will pardon me if I detail to thern some of my personal experience with tobacco.

Beginning in my twenty-fifth year, while a medical student, I smoked one cigar daily for a period of about two years. I have always studied my own physical and mental conditions, and began to observe the effect of the tobacco upon me. I came to. notice from day to day that during the smoking of the cigar there was a perceptible change of mental attitude toward my work and toward things in general. I would begin a cigar with mind alert, ambitious to get at the work that needed to be done. After a half hour of watching the smoke curl up toward the ceiling, I was conscious of a falling off of mental activity, and unless the work was imperative, I usually ended up by taking a half-hour stroll down the avenue, to be entertained by a glimpse of its equipages and its people. I was conscious of a sort of a "don't care" mental attitude toward things in general. I have never for a moment doubted "that my change in mental attitude was to be attributed solely to the effects of the nicotine. I believe, in the light of subsequent observation, that jt is just this effect of tobacco which makes it especially pleasing to people. If I failed to have my after-dinner cigar, I missed it so much that I awoke to the fact that I was slowly but surely forming a "drug habit," and through my medical studies, I knew that a drug habit, whether for morphine, cocaine, alcohol, or other narcotic or stimulant, is harmful to the system in direct proportion to its use, and I knew that without exception all of these drugs enslaved a person by gradually undermining his willpower the more one takes the less he is able to stop. Wrhen I realized the situation, I stopped. For several years subsequent to the period referred to above, I smoked an occasional cigar. Each cigar produced again the feelings which made me discard its habitual use.

The yo,ung men of today are subjected to certain conditions which are less favorable to rapid advancement and success than were those which existed in the time of our grandfathers. In their time, great areas of our country were being settled and developed by pioneers. There was a dearth of men in all lines of activity. Consequently competition was slight as compared with the present conditions, when a- notice in an, evening paper, "Accountant Wanted," brings a whole room full of anxious applicants and a hundred letters of application. The professions are all crowded every line of business is over-full competition is intense. To succeed the young man must either be exceptionally capable by natural endowment, or he must use to the best advantage his average abilities.

Before entering the. competition, which is society's balance in which every aspirant for success must be weighed, suppose a young man seeks the advice of his elders as to what he can take or do to make his chance for success more certain, or to make the success more complete. If he ask his father or his grandfather, do you suppose they would advise him to begin the use of tobacco or opium or alcoholic beverages? If he ask a physician, wili he be advised to begin the use of some drug—nicotine, morphine, cacaine—which will blunt his sensibilities, take the edge off his alertness, and make him care less if his tailor's bill is unpaid? If he ask a lawyer, will he not be told to live strictly, within his income and never assume obligations which he can not meet on the day and hour of their maturity? If he ask his spiritual adviser, will he not be enjoined to conserve and to cultivate every power of body and mind? These powers are the capital stock of a young man. Knowingly to decrease the value or efficiency of one's capital is recognized by all men as a very poor business proceeding. The young man may remind us that his father, his grandfather, his legal advisor, his physician, and his pastor all smoke or chew, even though they all with one accord advise the young men

TOBACCO...

not to follov their example. If these men just, referred to have secured a measure of success, it was not because of their use of tobacco, but in spite of it. It is usually more safe to be guided by the precept of our advisors than by their example.

Though many professional men use tobacco, I have yet to hear the first one to advise a young man or boy to begin its use. If asked whether they would advise a young man to begin the use of tobacco, they uniformly answer, "No." Most men who use tobacco regret that they ever formed the habit, but as a rule they make no effectual efforts to stop it. This is the universal experience with a drughabit, whether the drug be nicotine alcohol or morphine.

Let us be frank in this discussion. We want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It- is admitted by even the stanchest defenders of tobacco that it is harmful to the young and growing individual. Full growth and physical maturity are hardly reached before the age of 25. Suppose that a young man begins at that age to smoke one cigar- after each meal. Will it injure him physically or intellectually? I believe that there will be no profound disturbance of the health and no marked abatement of intellectual activity under the conditions just stated. This will depend, of course, largely upon the individual but the average man will not be markedly injured. The question which the young man of 25 now asks is "Why should I not smoke, then?1' The most loyal friends of tobacco do not for a moment contend that tobacco in any form is beneficial. The most that can be said for it is that it gratifies certain of the senses.

Let us discuss briefly this question of sense gratification. There are five senses: The sense of touch, of smell, of taste, of hearing, and of vision. Animal organisms in general, including man, are endowed by nature with these senses for particular purposes for protection from danger, for the discovery and selection of the proper food, drink and air, and finally for increasing the happiness or well-being of the race. The use of these five senses in the pursuit of any or all of these objects ajways results in their higher development. The exercise of any power or attitude of the body in a legitimate use gives the animal pleasure, exhilaration, and consciousness of gratification. This experience of pleasure is nature's compensation for activity. Man has become very ingenious in devising means for sense gratification. It may be said as a general principle limiting sense gratification that those forms which benefit the individual, benefit the race, especially posterity, while those forms which do not benefit the individual injure the race. How will the useless gratification of sense injure the race? By adding to the moderate influence of heredity the very strong influence of environment the two factprs working together to make the following generation less resistant to temptation.

Students of humanity and society tell us that the race is more important that the individual, and that the great problems of society are those which deal with the comfort or, well-being of the race. If this be true, it must follow that any act which benefits the race is legitimate and to be encouraged, while any act which injures the race is illegitimate and to be discouraged.

If we accept the premises, it leads us inevitably to the conclusion that even the moderate use of tobacco by adults is to be discouraged, though we view the question from the standpoint of the physical effects alone. If we were to bring in questions of ethics of "the greatest good to the greatest number," of economy, etc., we would be repeatedly led to the same conclusion namely, that the moderate use of tobacco by the adult is to be discouraged.

I have never yet met a young man or boy who did not wish to succeed in life. Success in life, in these days of strong competition, means honesty, industry, temperance, economy. The boy or young man who has all of these, with good health, must succeed, while if he lacks any of them even a moderate success would be impossible.

To reach his highest success, a young man should be honest, industrious, economical, and a total abstainer. Such a young man is worth his weight in gold to a business house, if h$ stands the tests to which all new employes of a great and successful house are subjected. No young man need think that some special "pull" will shield him from these tests, or from the close observation of the men who manage the interests of the house. When he least expects it he is be­

ing tested in each and every point enumerated above he is being weighed in the balance. The history of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and of every other great commercial center in the world, will demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is not the man with a "pull" who makes history it is the man with a push. The reason is not far to seek. The man with a "pull" depends upon the good will, the forbearance, the thoughtfulness, and frequently, the unselfishness, of others, while the man with push depends upon his own abilities and his own energy. The young man with push may be slower in getting a position, but once he is employed, he will be retained by a business house, while dozens of young men with "pulls" will have been taken on trial, tested and passed on to other fields, or retained in subordinate positions.

Tobacco does much to undermine the success of young men. Why? Because it is the entering wedge of two lines of dissipation, either of which may defeat success. The first line is the dissipation of money for things unnecessary. The second line of dissipation is that of sense-gratification. One uses tobacco partly because of its flavor and partly for the sedative action which it exerts upon the nervous system. It is just this sedative effect which steals away a young man's vigilance and alertness and handicaps him in the struggle for success. The use of tobacco paves the way for other dissipation by requiring a compensating stimulant to overcome its sedative effect and by making the common wholesome foods taste insipid and flat. A vast majority of drunkards were smokers and chewers before they were drinkers. The mental attitude and lack of resistance which permits a man to smoke is also likely to permit other forms of dissipation more destructive in their influence.

We have just received information that the First National Nurseries of Rochester, N. Y., want lady or gentlemen representatives in this section to sell all kinds of roses, shrubs, trees and seeds. They inform us that without previous experience it is possible to make good wages every week. Any one out of employment write them for terms and enclose this notice. 26d6- 2wS (Advertisement)
