ArttelM Ud Nottees under the above head tarnished by the £,%dies of the W, 0, T 0, the editor oUtms no pari or credit for lit* wtn si." -PFLJ«5P *HH HALF HAS NEVER BEEN TOUD ' The principal o! a large preparatory #chooI for boys recently said: "Tobacco lb the bane of the school, and more boys break down in health and are sent home from its influence than from any other." ©r. A. C. Clinton, of San Francisco, physician to several boy's schools, says: good deal has been said about the •vile of cigarette smoking bat one-half the troth has never been told. Cigarette Smoking first blunts the whole moral na­ ture. It has an appalling effect npon the physical system as well. It first stima- lates and then stapeflies the nerves It lends boys into consumption^ It gives them enlargement ol the heart and it •ends them to the insane asylum. I am Often called in to prescribe for boys for 'pvlpitation of the heart. In nine oases Out of ten this is caused by the cigarette liabit. I have seen bright boys turned ""Into dances, and straightforward, honest boys made into miserable cowards by Cigarette smoking. I am speaking the "troth that nearly evefy physician and nearly every teacher knows." There is no greater cruelty than to al­ low a child to form the tobacco habit. Any physical brutality of which a parent can be guilty will hardly compare with this in inhumanity. An increasing num­ ber of business firms have the rale--"No cigarette smokers need apply." Business success is for the boy who is wise enough to let cigarettes alorie. ^ Charles Lamb, one of the brightest spirits] extinguished by drink, wrote mournfully, looking back upon his child hood: "Could the youth to whom the flavor of his first glass was delicious, L look into my desolation and be made to understand what a dreary thing it is when a man feels himself going down precipice with open eyes and a passive will, to see his destruction, and not to have power ot will to stop it, and yet to feel it all the way enamating from him eelf, to perceive all goodness emptied out of him,{yet not be able to forget the time when it was otherwise--how he would avoid the first temptation to drink!" _ V "'NGWOOD.
