CONTEST
Following is u cony of the essay
written by Wllma Coghill which won
the first prizo in the contest which
tho local W C. T. U. closed last week:
HARMFUL EFFECTS OF CIGAR
ETTE SMOKING
We aro nroud In tills advanced age
of Christianity of tho stop taken to
control tho sale of liquor. But little
effort Is being put forth In regard to
the injurious cigarette:
Many of our small boys, too young
to havo one sorlous thought, are today
forming the habit by picking up tho
half-smoked cigarette from the street.
Next to strong drink, clgarotte
smoking is the most harmful form of
Intemperance. Although Its. effects
are slower, men who train for races
and ball games will not use thorn
because they can not enduro fatigue.
It is also a known fact that the
use of the clgarctto hinders the
growth of tho body. Those who smoke
do not grow so fast nor so largo as
those who do not.
It weakens tho brain an it does all
other parts of the body, causing the
user to have a poor chanco of being
advanced in the business world.
Boys and young men smoke, think
ing it makes them "grown up." This
tends to careless and wasteful habits
and In time they lose all self-respect
A man is seldom so poor but that ho
will have a smoke, altho his family
may be compelled to llvo on charity.
They often cause groat nervousness
and sleeplessness, tho smoker being
compelled to rise during the night for
a smoke to quiet his poisoned brains
and nerves.
Cigarettes arc made of a mild tobac
co and contain less nicotine, yet tho
danger- from using them Is still great
er; for the smoko is easily drawn
deeply into tho mouth and often into
tho lungs, causing sore throat, husky
voice and a hacking cough, the lungs
and heart gradually becomo weaken
ed.
Because his heart beats irregular
ly, sometimes slow and then very rap
id but drives tho blood with little
forco. ho becomes veiy short of breath
because tho blood does not circulate
in tho lungs as It should, causing a
person to bo moro liable to disease.
OKLUBltATlNCS THANKSGIVING
