Lieutenant Pat O'brien Did
Not Smoke.
There is one soldier, an avi.~or
one who has won international^1116
by his exploits, who went thro'S*1 tne
war without smoking, and insiders
himself most fortunate th-t he did
not smoke.
O'Brien was shot do** behind the
German lines and wa> captured, but
escaped by jumpin? from a train
when being carrie* into the interior.
After travelling four hundred miles
and enduring tie greatest hardships,
he finally reached Holland, and later
England. He bas written a most inter
esting book, entitled "Outwitting the
Hun."
In telling of his great privations
and hardships in thc book, Mr. O'
Brien has this to say about tobacco:
"It was a mighty fortunate thing
for me that I was not a smoker.
Somehow I have never used tobacco
in any form and I was now fully re
paid for whatever pleasure I had
foregone in the past as a result of my
habits in that particular; because my
sufferings would have been intensi
fied now if, in addition to lack of food
and rest, I had had to endure a crav
ing for tobaeco."
Mr. O'Brien's experience is a com
plete answer to those tobaccophiles
who at the beginning of the war, for
months, coached and incited by the
great tobacco trusts, made such fran- I
tic appeals for funds with which to :
buy tobacco to "soothe the poor sol-|1
diers in the trenches."
As shown by Mr. O'Brien's expe- i '
rience, there must have been many i"
occasions when the soldier could not |
procure cigarets or cigars, or if he 1
could, when it would be impossible 1
or imprudent for him to smoke, as '
when doing "scout" duty or crouch- ]
ing at a "listening post." On such oe-j
casions the man accustomed to smoke 1
would naturally suffer, in addition zo 1
the hardships of his perilous work, 1
the great and disconcerting inconve- 1
nience arising from the interruption i
of a drug habit. t]
Certainly Mr. O'Brien's testimony .1
? on this point is worth far more than ( *
that of anyone who has not actually J
gone through the trying experiences;1
at the front. He not onlytfound no,'
need for cigarets to "soothe" hird jJ
when bearing all the strains and,<
special dangers and hardships of his
aviation experiences, but rejoiced a
mid the perils of stealing his way by j i
night through several hundreds miles s
of German territory that he had nev- N
er acquired the smoking habit. Soon- 1
er or later, every smoker who does c
not die young, discovers the mischief ?1
that tobacco did to him, and regrets 1 ]
that he ever became a slave to the ?1
weed. The smoker certainly makes (
a bad bargian when he sells his health i
for a cigaret or a cigar, and volun- <
tarily joins the ranks of tobacco ?j
slaves, whose only compensation for?<
the surrender of their liberty to a
poisonous weed is a temporary tick
ling of the nerves which soon disap
pears; after which, smoking is in
dulged in not for the pleasure it gives
but to relieve the misery felt when 1
the influence of the drug is with
drawn. Such a person must keep his
blood saturated with nicotine con
tinuously. As soon as the skin, lungs ,
and kidneys have eliminated a part j '
of the tobacco poisons, there comes.''
a clamor from awakening nerves for ^
a new dose, and so another cigaret j
or cigar must be smoked, and thus '
the inflowing stream of poison at ? '
times comes to be nearly continuous.
-Good Health. f
Cigcfet Smoking and Tubercu
losis.
J- H. Kellogg, M. D.
Webb has s?own that of the young I j
men examined lor military service ,
only 27 per cent ot non-smokers have j
ronchi in the lungs (tvidence of con
gestion or bronchial invition) while I.
ronchi are nearly always cresent in?!
smokers, which is what woulo. v>e ex
pected from the irritating effects of
tobacco smoke.
Krause, in a bulletin of the Johns
Hopkins Hospital, calls attention to
the fact that such a condition of the
lungs would be likely to excite tu
bercles which might be present in
the lungs. Since practically every
adult person has either latent or ac
tive tubercular infection of the lungs,
the importance of this question be
comes ot once apparent.
These observations agree with the
statistical fact that while tuberculo
sis is more frequent in girls than in
boys, a preponderance in males ap
pears after adolescence, and becomes
rapidly greater until in men of mid
dle age the death-rate from tubercu
losis is double that of women of the
same age period.
Tuberculosis is increasing in men
throughout the United States, but *
diminishing in women. The increaseu
death-rate among men runs parallel
with the increasing consumption of
tobacco.
Rule by Violence Must be
Halted.
Washington, June 17.-Determina
tion of the..government to preserve
American ideals and institutions from
assault by lawless radicals was given
forceful expression to-day by Attor
ney General Palmer in a commence
ment day address at George Univer
sity.
"There is no room, as there is no
need in this country," Mr. Palmer
said, "for those who resort to vio
lence to impress their ultra-radical
views upon the people or the govern
ment. They will get nowhere by such
methods.
"The government proposes to pro
tect itself against attacks from with
in as carefully and as forcefully as
it has shown itself able to protect it
self against attacks from without.
Neither the government nor any of
its officers will be embarrassed or af
fected, much less frightened, by any
attempts, organized or unorganized
by lawless elements in the communi
ty to terrorize and stampede the gov
ernment into doing something con
trary to the spirit of our free insti
tutions as designed by the fathers
and sustained by all the generations
of men through the life of this repub
lic.
"Every reform which the more rad
ical desire to incorporate in our body
politic will receive a fair hearing and
full consideration and become effec
tive only if, and when, a majority of
the pepole through the regular meth
ods provided by the constitution shall
so decide.
"No change will be hastened by
the use of force, and those who seek
to use this weapon will be treated as
enemies of the government and pun
ished accordingly.
"Those who cannot or will not live
the life of Americans under our insti
;utions and are unwilling to abide by
;he methods which we have estab
.ished for the improvement of those
institutions from time to time should
jo back to the country from which
;hey came. Every power of the gov
ernment will be used to compel
;hcse who remain here to comfort
:hemselves in that obedience to our
aws and with that respect for our
institutions which are a part of the
:reed of real Americans."
The attorney general indicated
lis belief that recent bomb outrages
including that which came so near de
stroying his own residence, were the
,vqrk of aliens, rather than native
jorn residents of this country. He de
dared that many who come to the
Jnited States out of the turmoil .of
Surope fail to realize the difference
jetween a land of the free and the
iespotic rule from which they fled,
nany of them being honestly mistak
en, he added, while others are self
seekers, playing upon the ignorance
)f their fellows.
\ Word to the Wise From In
diana's Health Commissioner.
Many boys learn to smoke because
t is so common to smoke.
They do not know how easy it is to ;
form the habit and how hard it is to <
luit. ;
Neither do they know that a child's ?
jody and brain are growing rapidly, ?
md are easily dwarfed by tobacco ;
Doison. ;
Many volunteers are shut out of ;
;he army on account of tobacco ;
learts.
You have no right to use that ;
.vhich injures your body and is a
leedless waste of money. ;
The cigaret is the most harmful ;
form of smoking. ;
When the cigaret boy is grown, the ;
:lean, bright boy will step in ahead
of him. If he asks for a job the boss ,
ivill look for the yellow stains on his
fingers.
Henry Ford and Andrew Carnegie
and many employers avoid as much
as possible hiring boys who smoke or
drink.
Cigaret smokers and beer drinkers
will be the first to be filed and-the
last to be hired.
My hair is gray, I have seen many
wrecks. I am giving you friendly
warning. If I meet you fifteen years
from now will you shake hands and
look me square in the eye, or will you
sneak across the street?
I can pick put boys who will not be
injured by bad habits. They are those
who do not acquire them.
Cigaret smokers are often taken to
the juvenile court for stealing. If
sent to the Detention Home they walk
the floor and beg and cry for cigarets.
To be successful needs a strong
heart and a clear brain.
Happy is the boy who has enough
good sense and a courteous regard
for the comfort of others to refuse
to begin a habit outlawed by states,
by courts, by the church and by busi
ness houses.

HEARD IN EDGEFIELD
How Bad Backs Have Been
Made Strong-Kidney Ills
Corrected.
All over Edgefield you hear it.
Doan's Kidney Pills are keeping up
the good work. Edgefield people are
telling about it-telling of bad backs
made sound again. You can believe
the testimony of your own townspeo
ple. They tell it for the benefit of
you who are suffering. If your back
aches, if you feel lame, sore and mis
erable, if the kidneys act too fre
quently, or passages are painful,
scanty and off color, use Doan's Kid
ney Pills, the remedy that has helped
so many of your friends and neigh
bors. Follow this Edgefield citizen's
advice and give Doan's a chance to do
the same for you.
J. G. McNeill, Battle St., says:
"Six years ago when I was living in
Greenville, I was afflicted with a
lameness in the small of my back,
which was undoubtedly caused by my
kidneys. My kidneys didn't act right,
being sluggish. I got a box of Doan's
Kidneg Pills and used them and they
removed the trouble."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr. McNeill had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
