GIVING UP TOBACCO.
Having the choice between smoking
and living, Jacob Riis has given up
the use of tobacco. Since the age of
twenty-one ho hos used it moderately;
he is now sixty-three, but finds it
easy to quit by simply resolving that
hu will do so. He has a weak heart

Like other "mild narcotics, tobacco
has been recognized by scientists as
having beneficial effects at times
or. persons of certain temperament
when taken in moderation. For the
nervous man it shatters his thoughts
and compels hint to let down on think
ing while his dinner digests. Soc
ially it is a temptation and relaxation
similar to the cup of tea or coffee
and the glass of beer or wine. If the
use of these articles were limited to
those who are thus merely refreshed
or benefited, nine-tenths of the argu
ments against them might vanish.

Now a suffraget has been arrested

gained in smashing dishes at home is
likely to prove valuable at any mo
