Bright Boys Decide to Cut Out Tobacco | Greensboro, N. C., May 4. —Seventy five boys, of the Greensboro City High school between the ages of 14 and 16 are members of the Athletic Associa tion of the Greensboro High School. Within this association are various teams, football, base ball, tennis, be sides track workers and gymnasts. During this season the members of the ( baseball teams, have strictly observed , a rule of not smoking during the play-, ing of a practice of contest game. The ; boys evidently have considered this ; rule a good one, for during the sea-1 : son they have played teams from six other towns losing out one game and that to the Pleasant Garden Country ' school boys of Guilford county, who do 11 not know what boy smoking is. j, While a meeting of the Association was being held yesterday afternoon, j at which 50 members were present, one ; shrewd and observant youth, in com-i menting an the success of the Ist Nine, called attention to the fact of winning so many games, complimenting the team and calling attention to the fact that they had won, it had been at | places where some members of the opposite nine would light a cigar or cigarette while not working. The coun try bpys at Pleasant Garden, who alone had beat them did not use tobac co at. all. The conclusion was so ir resistable, there was no difficulty what ever in passing a resolution to cut out the use of tobacco entirely, the tobac co users among the members voting unanimously for it. The resolution and pledge as adopted reads: Resolved, That no person shall be eligible to a position on any football, baseball or any other team gotten out by the Ath letic Association of the Greensboro High School unless he signs the follow ing pWge: I hereby pledge myself to abstain from the use of tobacco in any form while in training for, or holding a position on any football, baseball or other team gotten out by the Athletic Association.

In the chase he arrived at a village to discover that lie was too late to intercept them, and finally ordered the horses unsaddled and fed. Now the major's hostler was a son of Ireland, ignorant of everything per taining to the equestrian art, and, coming in from the village in a state, bordering on intoxication, he put the major's saddle on the horse facing to the rear. When the horses were brought up for a fresh start the ma jor, instantly discovering the mistake demanded the reason for it.

SKIN DISEASES I HUMORS IN THE BLOOD When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth andfree from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left . to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid { poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Bczema appears, usually with a slight redness ol the skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery appearance.
