Evil of the Cigarette.
(Essay written by Maizie Kemp.
Prize winner in 4th grade Edgefield
School.)
The cigarette is made of ground
up tobacco, rum and put in a thin
paper.
The cigarette is made to suit the
smoker.
A cigarette weakens the lungs, the
heart, also the brain. The cigarette
makes you nervous. It is an unclean
habit. Look on the fingers of a man
or boy who smokes cigarettes, their
fingers are coated with nicotine.
Some boys have no time to lose in
growing by smoking cigarettes. They
will ruin the health.
A man that smokes cigarettes is
more easy to catch consumption, flu
and other diseases.
Smokers spend so much money on
cigarettes.
It is right to spend money for
pleasure that does not hurt you.
But it is not right to spend your
money on things that are harmful.
A man wants a job at a certain
place, and the place has a sign, "no
smoking." The people will tell that
man he will have to stop smoking or
lose the job.
Cigarettes were plentiful in the
army.
Cigarettes are dangerous in the
mouth or teeth of a boy. I say don't
smoke them. Wait until you are twen
ty-one years old to smoke, then they
won't hurt you as much.
Cigarettes are an awful thing.
The Cigarette Habit.
(Milton Swearingen's essay. Prize
winner in fifth grade.)
A cigarette is pulverized tobacco,
wrapped in tissue paper and stuck to
gether. A match is struck to start the
tobacco to burning-then the boy
puts this into his mouth and draws
the smoke and inhales it and blows
it out through his nose.
Of course this smoke is very in
jurious to the lungs, because of the
deadly poison called nicotine, which
causes the lungs to be impaired and
soon cannot throw off the germs.
This soon develops into tuberculosis
which means death.
When the boy takes his first cigar
ette he is beginning a very bad habit
that will injure his health, ruin his
nerves and cloud his brain, so he will
never be a deep scholar or broad
thinker.
A cigarette fiend hardly ever
makes his grade in one year for he
has lost all his class pride.
A boy that begins to smoke cigar
ettes, or to use tobacco in any form,
is making a dwarf of himself and will
never be a strong man. physically
or mentally. A cigarette smoker can
not stand diseases for his constitu
tion is broken.
The cigarette is an unclean habit,
and it stains the teeth just as it does
the hands. The clothes of a smoker
smell like tobacco.
The cigarette habit is a time-was
ter and expensive, too. The business
man will not employ a smoker for he
knows the .smoker will waste time.
He is not energetic , careful nor
thoughtful.
It seems to be a growing habit for
a great many soldiers who did not
smoke before to come out of the
army smoking. They saw the other
boys smoking. After taking the first
one they wanted more because it
was stimulating. But they would have
been better without the stimulant.
The cigarette effects the nerves
and causes the people to be nevous
wrecks.
If a boy will not yield to the temp
tation of smoking until he is twenty
one years of age, he will not likely
become a smoker, he will have learn
ed the evil of it.
It would be a good thing for the
country if laws were made to stop
the manufacture of the cigarette.
Farm work is late on account of
the continued rains, and if farmers
are to plant on time they will need
increased horse-power. We are of
fering an attractive lot of mules just
received.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Insist on Genuine Ford Parts
Imitation "Ford" parts are being sold by many mail order houses, down-town
stores and garages to unsuspecting Ford owners as "Ford" parts. But they are
not Genuine Ford parts made by the Ford Motor Company. They vare made by
concerns who have no connection whatsoever with the Ford Motor Company.
These imitation parts are not even made from the same grade of steel, or under
the same formulas used by the Ford Company. They are counterfeit parts.
Tests have shown them to break when the genuine Ford parts didn't even bend,
and they generally are from thirty-five to one hundred per cent lower in quality.
The Authorized Ford Dealer is your protection. As such, we handle nothing
but the Genuine Ford parts. They are made from the famous Ford Vanadium
Steel and each part-according to its use-is heat-treated ir? the way that will
give it the longest wearing qualities. Every part is the same as its duplicate in
your Ford car or Ford truck.
Our stock of parts is complete. And our Ford garage and Ford mechanics
are at your service at all times. Drive in when replacements or repairs for your
Ford car may be necessary. Save your car and also your money.
