Cigarettes Undermine the Srvo
and Moral Caliber of Their User,
and Arc? DlaBuatinp tin Ihe Hands
of a. Woman "Who Iflaanli Them
In the Public 'Place.
By ETJ.A "WHEELER WJLCOX.
When a pretty girl whiffs at a cigarette,
cne who has the highest interests of the
race at heart is sorry.
When a woman of middle age smokes,
one is disgusted with the sex.
Curiously enough, the Jatter type most
frequently flaunts her habit in public
places hotel lobbies, the saloons and
docks of ships, and in restaurants. It
seems to be her only hope of attracting
attention
One who travels about the world can
not fail to note-ihow the habit isincreas
in fi
ll! England the woman who does not
take her after-dlnrier cigarette seems to
be the exception.
ClKarette Smoker'TJanareroTis.
George Baumhoff. superintendent of the
Lindell Railway. St. Louis, once said:
"Under no circumstances will I hire a
man who smokes cigartettes. He is as
dangerous at the front end of a motor
as the man who drinks; In tact, he is
more dangerous. His nerves are bound
to give way at a critical moment. A
motorman needs his nerve all the time,
and a cigarette smoker cannot stand the
strain '
Thoma A. Edison may be supposed to
know what he is talking" about when he
sayr
"Acrolein is one of the mo6t terrible
drugs In its effect on the human body.
The burning of the ordinary cigarette
paper always produces acrolein. That is
what makes the smoke so irritating. I
really believe that it often makes boys
Insane.
"We sometimes develop acrolein in this
laboratory in our experiments with glyc
erin One whiff of it from the oven
drove one of my assistants out of the
building the other day. I can hardly
exaggerate the dangerous nature of acro
lein, and yet that is what a man or boi
ls dealing with every time he smokes an
ordinary cigarette.
Cigarette Potion the Brain.
P M. Sharpless. of West Chester. Pa.
who employs hundreds of men. says:
"The cigarette poisons -the brain, bellt
ties the personality, and degrades
morally.
"It is my opinion that when a man or
boy smokes cigarettes. In a few weeks
he i"? morally so far gone as to be be
ond appeal More and nore young
men are hoisting the sign, 'I am a fool'
by appearing In public with a cigarette."
"In our own offices where we employ
a great many young men, a cigarette
smoker gets no Job, or, if he has it. he
gets no advancement. The fact that he
smokes clgaretes Is proor positive mat
he is weak in the upper story."
When the alert Japanese heard of the
result of Professor Seaver's investigation
at Yale and learned of the 'great havoc
the use of tobacco was making in Amer
ica, legislation was immediately passeu
prohibiting the use of tobacco by young
persons under twenty years
For the sake of having "fit" soldiers
Germanj had already prohibited its use
by minois under sixteen. When the bill
was pending In Japan one man said:
"If we expect to make this nation su
perior to the nations of Europe and
America we must not allow our youths
In common schools, who are to become
the fathers and mothers of our country
in the near future, to smoke
"If we desire to cause the light of the
nation to shine forth over the world we
ought not to follow the example of China
and India."

DOGS WITH SKIN,DISEASES
SHOULD BE TREATED FOR WORMS
By EDWARD 8- SCHMID.
Eczema Is another noncontagious skin
disease. It is the result of dlsorderea
blood. It generally atacks the elbows,
back of the fore legs, the belly. Inside
of the thighs, tho skin around the eyes,
and the lips, the -back, more especially
tho Bkin Just above the tail, and some
tiroes In bad cases the whole body.
Symptoms.
Continuous scratching, red and Inflam
ed condition of the skin, and when th
dog is white, the hair assuming a rusty
color. A number of minute vesicles or
blisters appear on the effected parts of
the skin, which break and discharge a
watery fluid. Dogs once affected with
this disease are very liable to another
attack, especially in the spring anu
autumn.
Treatment for Eczema.
A dose of Epsom salts (this Is one of
the best purging medicines in skin dis
eases) should be given and repeated
again In of weak, and cooling alternative
tablets regularly given; bathe the af
fected parts with a reliable eczem
cure. In addition to using eczema cure
it is a good, plan, when there Is much
Irritation of the skin and the disease
is affecting the dog more or less all over
the body, to give a medicated bath once
or twice a week. This Is made by ada
Ing crude sanltas to water In proportion
of one part to 100 parts of water. Or
simply use veterinary antiseptic soap
and tepid water.
All dogs suffering from eczema or other
forms of noncontagious skin diseases
should be treated for worms, as these
parasites are a fruitful cause of skin
disease.

quite an elaborate effect, although the
construction is quite simple.
The dress is made like many others,
with the- waist plain, a small box pleat
filling the center of the front and full
length tucks from shoulder to belt in
both front and back. The ornamental
touch is provided by the yoke collar,
which is a trjmming that may be omitted
or used at discretion. The skirt is a
kilt model attached to the waist beneath
a belt.
Such simple fabrics as lawn, organdie,
marquisette, linen and gingham will
make up appropriately In this style.
The pattern, 5127, is cut in sizes 6 to
12 years. Medium size requires 3 yards

mother of his children.
Before he does marry the smoking girl
let him read a report of Dr. Seaver's
investigations of the effect of cigaretea

It Is not a matter of personal opinion,
nor the prejudice of a narrow mind
which condemns the cigarette.
It Is the voice of science!

In other cases it is a month before the

causes of this disorder, but It sometimes

Treatment for Goiter.
The hair over the swelling should be
cut off close to the skin, and the-part
painted over once every other day for
ten days wJth compound tincture of
Iodine. At first this treatment will
cause tho swelling to Increase a little

ually decreasing. After all soreness from
the first dressings has disappeared, they
may be repeated. If necessary.
In cases of long standing some prepara
tion of Iodine should be given Internally,
In addition to being applied externally.
Half a grain to two grains, according to i
the -size of the dog, of Iodide of potas-1,

the most suitable for internal use; or
diluted hydrofluoric acid, now used with
great success In human practice, may be
tried. -
The dose of tho latter Is, for a small
dog of ten pounds, six drops; and for a
large one of about 150 pounds, thirty
drops. It should be administered In
water, and the dose may be gradually
Increased to thirty drops for a small
dog, and one dram for a large one.
Animals suffering from goiter should have
buscults containing 35 per cent of meat,
as a more 'than usually generous diet
is required.
N. B. When having the hydrofluoric
acid medicine prepared by a druggist, the
diluted pure acid (1 In 2M) should be
asked for. In some eases of goiter It Is

Of What Is Found on Two
cent Stamp.
LISTS CANNOT BE C0EEECTED
After They Have Been Once Sub
mitted, Xor la It Permlaalble to
Send More Than One Solution of
the Panic, Xor Telephone Llata
Into The Herald Office.
Have you submitted a solution of the
synonyms given In The Washington
Herald both Sunday and Monday of what
Is found on our two-cent stamp?
From the number of answ ers :recelved
to the puzzle, I am inclined to think that
the majority of the Puzzle Circle went
right ahead and got the thing off their
minds so that they could spend the rest
of the week figuring Just how many
plates of Ice cream can be bought with
their prize money.
I am, therefore, only reminding those
who are still working over their solu
tions of the two-cent stamp puzzle that
the
contest closes at noon on Friday.
and that their solutions will not be in
the running if received after that hour.
Encouragement to Puaslers.
It may encourage them to know that
contestants are saying everything but
the right thing in answer to number
eight, which If given in the puzzle as
"Price paid for conveying a letter."
Number fourteen sounds cock-sure, but
it Isn't.
Puzzlers think there .could be but one
answer to it found on a two-cent stamp,
but they are mistaken in this.
Many contestants have sent me a list,
and afterward, a day later, a corrected
list, or certain corrections which they re
quested that I insert In their solution to
take the place of their first conclusions.
This is a request that it is impractical
to grant.
Cannot Remake Llata. ,
You can, perhaps,'' inraine what the
confusion would be if puzzlers were al
lowed to make and rerqake lisle through
out the week, or what it would mt?afl to
go through hundreds of solutions to tho -
puzzle correcting them for contestants.
That no answer when once submitted
may be corrected has always been a
hard and fast rule of the puzzle contests,
and one to which I must adhere no mat
ter what the appeal.
It Is too bad that other members of
the puzzle circle Ignored the rule that
but one solution of the puzzle would be
accepted from a single person, submit
ting in some cases, eight or ten solutions,
with the request that the best one be
selected.
In these cases the list on top Is taken,
