There, just there, you liae,tho secret of the popu larity of cigarettes among Juvenile smokers.

The hot sm'oko causes a drj'nf" " the mouth that call3 for some Ilquw. Water seems insipid, as the nenes or taste aro In a half paralyzed state, as - result a liquid of stimulating cnar eter Is resorted to, and so the habit f drinking alcoholic liquors follows tho nnntlon of tho smoking habit. Again, the cigarette weakens tn none that controls the heart. Tho heart -if tho. nicotine user begins to beat lr rcgulurly first too rapidly, then too slowly, sometimes stopping suddenly nnu causing grrat pain and discomfort. The blood becomes Impoverished and the smoker's face Ultes on that pasty, yellow hue. Tobacco also makes the stomach more nctlte In preparing Juices to digest food. Secreting digestive Juices when they nro not needed nnd cannot bo used. It soon grows weak nnd falls to produce enough for uso when really needed. Thus ths hoy, digesting badly, begins to be bait starved, palo and weak. It Is a great error to suppose that smoking aids digestion. The very un easiness which it Is desirable to remove Is occasioned by the tobacco Itself. After !alng nsldo the habitual ufo of tho poison, most Individuals experience an lncreao of appetite, of digestive energy and nn accumulation of flesh. Next In tho train of the cigarette boy s tnUirlcs pomes chronic neurasthenia. J He cannot sleep normally ho fidgets and frets the greater part of the nignt, ana whateer sleep ho docs get Is not a sound, healthful, energy-producing kind. Tho lctlm becomes disinclined to I exert himself, and avoids, so far as pos- 1 slble. tho effort of honest labor, and INCOME TAX BLANKS MAKE CHIlE!iSSaSSS-a too little cxcrclso, ho begins to i-top growing as fast as he should. This Is shown by tho fact that clgarctte-smoklng boj-s ara Invariably smaller In stature than abstainers. But tho terrible effects of this per nicious habit aro not confined to the hodv nlouo: tho Intellect also suiters. I Tho clgaretto fiend grows careless, dull nnd Irresponsible. He loses Interest in honest sports and his studies, and thinks more and moro about his cigarettes. Ho Is determined to hae them often If there Is no other way to get them ho resorts to stealing, Then the morals are Injured. Tho record ot fifteen boys who wero sen tenced In ono lot for crimes show th.it ten of them had Moleu to get cigarettes. A Judge of tho Supremo Court of New York haltl that In ono jear nine boys wero discharged from his pritato olllce for Eteallng postage stamps to buy clg' arcttes. How can wo combat this pcoirrgo? In one way by legislation If the statutes nre properly enforced. Most of our States hae already passed laws pro hibiting the salo of cigarettes to minors, and there Is no doubt that these laws will eventually become universal. Hmploycrs of labor, too, can aid tho cause by refusing to cngago cigarette smokers. Many progressive concerns hao alresdy taken this step and In this wav aro doing yeoman's service In tho fight against the cigarette. Railroads and largo motor manufacturing estab lishments nro especially uncompromising in their attitude toward tho cigarette nnd tho boy who uses 1L QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS " Onions Do 30U recommend onions as a cure for colds?

In Uie end they took him away. Tho doctors adUse against It, Perhaps that la the reason why hun dreds of persons dally crowd Room 206 of tho Federal Building, where more than a halt dozen geniuses answer tho Income-tax questions, "IJo I hato to pay a duty on my thrift stamps?"

"Why, If you aro exempt for a thou sand dollais, do jou hae to report If jou mako only (300?" "I don't mind .paying tho tax, but do I have to swear?" It was a tight-lipped, little old woman, bonnet nskew, who put the last ques tion. Sha quivered with virtuous Indig nation when It camo to signing her alii davit. "I havo never sworn In my lite," tha told the clerk, her wrinkled hand poised trembling over tho Good Book, "and I'm too old to begin now," Kho was permitted to "affirm" and de parted In peace. A traveling salesman couldn't under stand w(iy tin couldn't deduct 800 for his road expenses, even though the firm paid them. "But the firm," a tolerant clerk pointed out to him, "will also deduct It; why should you?" "But I pay It out of my pocket at the time. How does the Government know that I get It back?" "Vou'ro asking me for adUce," tho clerk camo back at him, "and I'm giving It to jou. Take It or leave It." He left reluctantly to think the matter oer. Women who have neer had tho re- By M'LTSS motest Idea that they would eer be In tho Income-tax-paying class havo been brought to tho sharp realization that all of a sudden "thej-. Just like John D. and J, Plerpont," have been called upon to tell Undo Samuel all about the pay em elope. Stenographers struggling along on a nuasly twentj--fio a week what with tho price of toilet articles and perfume gone up something awful are begin ning to flood the olllco with their queries. Many self-supporting girls, because they havo no others depend nt on them, failed to realize that they wero entitled to a J1000 deduction for their j-ear's lMng expenses and hao figured their tax on their entlro earnings. Dapper joung men who have hereto fore never carried a responsibility won der It they do not como under the class of "head of family." "A 'head of family.'" tho blank ex plains, "Is a person who. In accordance with somo legal or moral obligation, actually supports nnd maintains one or more Individuals closely related to him or her by blood, marriage or adoption." "I'm not tho head of a family, prop erly speaking," a jouth In checks In formed anybody who cared to listen, "but I keep dogs and thej-'ro a deuced expense." "Do jou deduct what you nav vour mother for board?" a beardless boy In terjected. And then tho whole matter of the $1000 exemption had to bo gono ocr again. A mjddlc-agcd man of harassed ap pearance who looked as though the grocer with a jard-long bill were but two feet behind him, breathed a sigh ot deout thankfulness at tho discovery that children aro an nsset and not a liability when It comes to filling out me DiatiK. "I can deduct two hundred apiece for them?" he asked Incredulously. "Well, re got six all dependents." Although the tlmo limit for tho return of the blanks linn been extended from March 1 to April 1, the best advices from tho front are: "Do It now. Get it over with." That way sancness lies.
