AN KASTHltX medical man has
recently published In Harper's
Weekly an article on tobacco
wmnkliiK thnt has attracted much at
tention. Ills conclusion is that mod--rrnto
smoking does not liiirin an ml
nil, but here Is what lie says about
hoys:
"A great many eminent observers
Iinvo envelKhed axalnst H.i.nkl.iK by
liuys nnd hnve pointed out the In
dubitable fact that the avenue boy
smoker Is not ho hrliiht as tho boy
who does not smoke Hut I rather
fancy that, In part at least, they have
t'onfiiHoil cause and effect It Is my
own observation that boys who are
naturally intelligent and healthy and
bright do not care to smoke, nnd
(hat tho heaviest smokers among the
youth of America are those who wore
l)orn with rather less than the nver
nj;o amount of common sense, moral
balance and respect for their elders'
-wishes. In brief, your typical boy
amoker Is u youth who was stupid
when it babe In arms and will ro
tiialn stupid all his life Ills smoking
Is not tho cause of stupidity, but
xnercly an ovldence of It."
That would seem to be about all
that need be said on the subject of
boy smoking.
If there Is a smartest man In tho
ivorhl, why doesn't ho come out In
tho open nnd prove his claim?

If you should meet a follow man

An looking llko ho didn't have a
friend In all tho world.
(Jo up and slap him on the back,
holler. "How il you do-"
And grasp his hand so warm he'll
know he has a friend in you.
Then ask what's hurt in' him an'
laugh his cares away.
And tell him that tho darkest night
Is Just b"fore the day.

iS MERGERS
Till-? suggestion Is sometimes
thoughtlessly made that the
buyer has to pay for the cost
.f advertising. II would bo equally
reasonable for a small storo to claim,
hcciuiHo a large store employed moro
clerks, thnt the patrons of tho largo
ulnro had to pay an extra prlco bo
onuso of theso additional clerks.
Almost any man by poralstcn nd
v'irtlslng, Justly proportioned to his
business, can double bin trade. If
ho did so, It is not likely that his
rent, taxes, bookkeeping cost. Insu
rance, and similar Items would ho
doubled. Very likely they might not
lm Increased one-half.
Every article has to bo charged
something for these general oxpon
iiou, whether you do much business
or not. Consequently If a merchant
1nubles his business, and lucreasefl
his llxed chai'Mes less than a half,
the amount to be charged to each
nrtlclo to cover these oxpensos Is
much less. Hence Instead of adver
tised goods costing tho public moro,
they cost tho public less.

In a letter to a Coos Hay friend
one of tho members of tho legisla
ture relates an Interesting Incident
In roferonco to the present session.
Ho states that a couple of members
were discussing tho largo number
of bills being Introduced and the
log rolling necessary to secure fav
orable action.
"It's a shame." remarked ono of
tho members." that we cannot pass
a good measure without a lot of
trading. Some of these bills should
be passed without reference 10
politics."
"That's all very nice," replied
tho other member, "but l have soon
something of legislative work and
unless I am mightily mistaken you
couldn't pass the ten command
ments through tho legislature with
out a lot of log rolling."

Geo. .. of Coos Bay Writes
About Remarkable Dis
covery. Georno A. Illnck, well known Cooo
liny man, who has been In California
with Mih. Illnck for somo ttmo, semis
a paKU feature story In tho Los An
eoies Trlbuuo to tho Times with tho
unto thnt tho Inventor told about,
Mr. Cutler, "Is woll known on Coos
liny." Tho story Is ontltlod, "Light,
Heat and Cold from ono tank."
And Mr. Illnck says that tho dovlco
is producing gnsollno for two cents
por gnllon. Tho story in part Is as
follows:
"To catch all tho natural gas from
a great oil woll, chill It with an Ice
machine, change It Into rhlgolono
and other extremely valunblo liquids
far coldor than Ico, and then dis
carding tho Ico mnchlno, uso theso
same liquids to chill tho rest of tho
gas and mnko moro liquids, sounds
llko a porpotunl motion mnchlno
story. Yet this Is practically what a
Los Angeles iuvontor nnd scientist
Is doing with his now plant at Olln
da this week. It Is tho first strictly
refrigerating plant for tho reduction
of gnsolino from natural gas ever
established hi the world, as far as
known.
"Ono billion cubic feot of natural
gas, equal In Lent and power to ono
million bushols of coal, Is lost daily
from tho oil wells of America. Tho
gas escapes Into the air, In spite of
man's efforts to catch it. This Is his
tory, anclont history. Let us turn a
now pngo, a pago being written hero
in Los Angeles, n pago of history
which must Interest pcoplo all over
tho world no mnttor whether or
not thoy caro tho snap of their fln
gcrs about oil nnd gas.
"W. C. Cutler of Sawtello, scien
tist, Invontor and hard worker, has
a way to catch this gas which la
proving marvelously successful, and
last week he put in operation the
plant at Ollnda whoraby ho saves
nil tho contents of tho precious gas.
Tho plant Is working now. ltu hiic
coss may effect tho oil Industry- of
thu ontlro world. It may mnko poor

greatly extend tho uso of oil nnd

cheapen the cost of oil products and
boat, light, powor and rofrigorntlon
to tho gonoral public.
"Ily cheapening tho now precious
products such as rhlgolono, cymo
gene and n.eothame, with a moiling
point 250 dogroes below zoro, Fall
ronhelt, somo extraordinary feats
may bo accomplished in household
economy, to tho delight of tho
housewife.
"With a slnglo tank of ono of
theso products of gas, sho will bo

First, to cool hor Ico box.
Second, run tho gas through a

Third, bent tho houso.
Fourth, do her cooking In tho kit
