No. 29
This Way, Boys.
The United States government
prohibits smoking by the cadets
of West Point and Annapolis.
An army officer says that "nine
tenths of the cadets who fail to
pass the medical examination
fail because of smoking ; and
some whose term of service has
expired, desiring reenlistment,
are astonished to find themselves
turned back in examination,
with all of soldierly perfection
in manual, simply because Uncle
Sam has no use for the tobacco
heart which might fall him in
some emergency." The same
is true of the navy.
A number of boys were re
jected at Portsmouth Navy Yard
last week because of impaired
physical condition from cigarette
smoking. The Norfolk & Wes
tern .Railway, following the ex
ample of many other railroads
and business corporations during
the last month issued an order
forbidding the smoking of
cigarettes in the .offices of the
compaay. Civic Sentinel.
The Westminister Gazette says
that smoking will produce blind
ness in certain nervous systems.
If stopped in time good vision
may be restored. It is the poison
that effects she optic nerves.
Keep thy shop and thy shop
will keep thee.
Gave His Life to Save a Train
Altoona, Pa., July 23.-Frank
Reffncr, aged 37, a section boss
on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
lost his life this morning in a
successful effort to save a fast
train from being wrecked.
Kenner ana ms men were
working at the tracks when the
men were ordered out of the way
for train 92. They left a jack
underneath the rail projecting
above the tracks sufficiently to
derail the train.
Reffner realized the danger,
ran to the jack, released it and
threw it aside. The next instant
the train he saved struck and
killed him. He leaves a widow
and four children.

Truck Farming That Pays.
Fourteen thousand dollars net
profit on the planting of thirty
five acres of land is an achieve
ment not to be despised. The
crop was potatoes. The average
production per acre was a few
barrels more than a hundred.

total of $17,500. They cost a
dollar a barrel to put on the
market, or $3,500, leaving a net
profit of $14,000. That is the
record made by a Charlestonian,
in Colleton county who is plant
ing truck on lands formerly de
voted to rice culture. Charles
