Tito trans ports had anchored off the Cuban coast and tJie disembarkation had already begun. Every command ing officer was anxious to have his regiment or battery the lirst to land, but the facilities for landing were meager and the work was slow. 'l'llis nettled the general and put him in a bad humor and it annoyed him to have command ers to ask when they were to land. Capt. Grimes of the Second artil lery was particularly anxious and made several pbinted illusions to the fact that he was ready to land. Finally he came to Shatter and reported: “General, my battery is all ready to go ashore.” “All right,” said Shatter, “throw your guns overboard and let them swim ashore.” Very Kemarknbto Cure of Diarrhoea. “About six years ago for the firs tiuie in iny life I bad a sudden ami set vero attack of diarrhoea,” says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan.

Kodol Dyspepsia Cure | Digests what you eat. The Cigarette and the Coming Business Nan. national Consideration of the Effect* of Smoking on Hoys And You nu Men. By Chao. H. Btovai.i., M. D., Treasurer and (B-neral Manner of thr J. C. Ayrr Cos., IjOWoII, Mhhm. I would give tlx* following rea sons for opposing the smoking of cigarettes ly boys under twenty one years of age: I. It lessens the natural ap petite for food and injuries diges tion.—Any close observer will know at once how true is this statement. The boy who smokes has a bad digestion and a poor appetite. Because of this inter ference with appetite and digestion , the food is not properly digested and assimilated, cellular activity is checked, and the growth and development of the body seriously interfered with by this early poi soning. 2. It Seriously Affects the Nervous System. —We often hear j about the “tobacco heart” of the | adult. If tobacco is strong enough j to affect the beating of the adult I heart, how much stronger must lie its effect on the heart of a young I person, long before tissues have become fixed. The rush of blood to the head, the dizziness, the unsteady beating of the heart, the distressing dreams—all show how seriously is the nervous sys tem affected. But a more serious charge can ; lie brought against it under this j heading. This effect tin the ner ! vous system is sufficient to pro jduce the must marked changes in the mental activity. Recent statements from the University of Michigan, Northwestern Univer sity, Yale College, Union College, together with scores of other in stitutions and hundreds of the most eminent teachers of the icountry all testify to the fact, that, cigarette smoking interferes with scholarship. If it interferes with the scholarship of young men over twenty-one years of age, how much more seriously must it interfere with the mentai activites of t hose under this age ! 8. Il Lowers the Moral Tone. — Another most serious charge against the cigarette is that it lowers t h<‘ moral tone. Boys who would not toil a lie on any other matter, not fora fortune, our best noblest boys, do not seem to hesi tate a moment to tell any kind of a falsehood in orker to keep from their parents the fact that they are smoking cigarettes. They hide the cigarettes. They smoke them away from home. They trv in every way to conceal the truth. Indeed, they will do all manner of things in order to deceive those who are nearest and dearest to | them. 4. It Creates a Craving for Strong Drinks. —There has been a great deal of discussion on this point, but 1 am convinced that statement is logically true. The hot smoke from thecigarette tends j to make the mouth and throat dry and creates a peculiar sinking sensation. But with the moral tone lowered and the mental power weakened, the desire to yield to the first temptation is strength ened, because of the slimsv excuse that the hoy must have something to wet his throat. And so it goes on, from bud to worse. In other words, the boy who smokes more easily accepts an invitation to a treat than one who does not smoke. f>. It is a Filthy and Offensive Habit. —No matter how steadily tin' boy may do his work, sooner or later his clothing becomes sat urated with the odor of tobacco. And let me add right here, one of the most inexplicable things in this world is that a well-dressed, highly-accomplished young lady will sit by the side of a young man in a carriage or street-ear, or will walk by his side in the street, and submit to inhaling this most offensive odor—bad at all times, but of course increased a thousand-fold when the smoking machine is in full operation. 0. It Is Expensive,—Boys THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1902 should not be taught how to use lessly expend money. Parents, friends, and teachers should give directly the opposite advice. 7. It Is Unlawful —ln nearly every State in the Union there are most stringent laws forbiding the furnishing of cigarettes or tobacco to minors under a certain age. In most of these States there are laws against selling to such minors. Take the District of Columbia: we find that 257 phy sicians, 524 officers and teachers lof the public school, the trustees of the public schools, and 86 pastors of churches petitioned Congress for the passage of a bill prohibiting the selling, giving, or furnishing tobacco to j any person under sixteen years of age. announcement.

Aybk Cos. February, 1302. 8. Cigarette Smoking Not Allowed. —It seems to me that i these reasons are sufficient for the action taken in posting throughout our buildings the above announce ment. A close observation for many years among the boys em ployed by this company has shown that those who are most energetic, active, alert, quick, spry, do not smoke; while the listless, lazy, dull, sleepy, uninteresting and un interested boys are those who smoke.— [Reprint from the Busi ness World, May, 1902.] ALL MOTHERS KEEP IT HANDY. “My mother suffered a long time from distressing pains and general ill health due primarily to indegestion,” says L. W. Spalding, Yarona, Mo. “Twoyears ago 1 got her to try Kodol. She grew better at once and now at the age of seventy-six, eats ai ything she wants, remarking that she tears no had effects as she has her bottle of Kodol handy.” Don’t waste time doeortoring symptons go after the case.

It is through the bowels that the body is cleansed of impurities. Constipa tion keeps these poisons in the system, causing headache, dulness and melan cholia at first, then unsightly eruptions and finally serious illness unless a remedy is applied. PeWitt’s Little Early Kisers prevent this trouble by stimulating the liver and promote easy healthy action of the bowels. These little pills do not act violently but by strengthening the bowels enable them to perform their own work. Never gripe or distress. Jxo. H. Blackburn. Barnesville, Ga. L. Hoi.mks, Milner, Ga. Idea of Old Age. The idea of old age is relative, depending on one’s point of view.

I'm not going for pleasure this time. I want to see mv father before he dies.” “Isn't he well?” “0, lie's well enough; but one never can tell what may happen, lie's getting along in years.” “How old is he?" “Forty-nine."

In last weeks issue of The Watchman, Dr. Rolfe Hunt’s paper, published at Milner, ap pears the following interesting item, which is of local interest: Dr. J. B.

Many years ago Mrs. worth was taken with an exteme ly violent case of confluent small pox. Dr. Head said: “Now, Mr. Bloodworth, your wife has small pox in the severest form. You go into this house near by until the danger of contagion is past. I will provide for Mrs. Bloodworth the best nurse that can be had and all will be done that we can do.” Mr. Bloodworth’s response was: IMPORTANT TO COTTON GINNERS.

I would stav with her now if I knew I would take small-pox aud die by her side.” The Doctor says Mr. Blood worth staid in the sick room bv day and by night in the most vi‘- gilent attention for weeks. Some times his hands would be covered with the pus. While the disease still raged, a babe came into the home. Yet Mrs. Bloodworth re covered from it all, and Mr. Bloodworth never had small-pox. Tears filled the doctor’s eyes as he told me this incident this sum mer on his eighty-fifth birth-day. He accounts it a holy joy to have seen an example of conjugal fidel ity like that.
