It would be interesting to know how Brother Howard of Salina regards the retirement of Miss De Witt from the editorship of the Pioneer. Editor Crosby of the Southern South-ern Censor has been licked again. There must be some thing wrong with Crosby he either likes that sort of thing or can't help himself. Or, he mar have an unlimited supply nf patience. Wo shall expect, on hearing of Crosby's being thrashed the third time, to also hear that some one else got hurt. A man who will stand three trouncings without protest pro-test is no good on earth. The Democrats of the Fourth Judicial District have a heavy load to carry in the person of Judge Dusenberry and his ;present repute. The party is making commendable efforts to get rid of him but as yet with not the best of suceess. It would have been an excellent idea for them to have turned him down before he reached the .bench, as his repute was tolerable toler-able "loud" before ho was nominated. nom-inated. The Judge Dusenberry episode ia likely to be a blot on the party in this district for an indefinite period. Some very caitful whitewashing will be needed. What causes the headaches and other nervous troubles which plague so many boys and girls in the schools and so many students in the colleges? Steady, cheerful and reasonable application of the mind is not bad for anybody; it conduces to fine health by developing that vital energy brain force which runs the whole physical machine. Probably in nine cases out of ten the mischief is traceable to some kind ofdis orderly living, to nocturnal ex- the waste of force in some fool- ish juduigence. Here, for instance, is the statement of an experienced physician to tha fleet that 70 per cent of the nervous diseases he has dealt with were caused by tea and coffee. Professor Spade holds the "tbey are positively in-jurious in-jurious to children and young people, and many persons past middle life would be much better off without them." A PLAIN TALE FOR FLA IN PEOPLE. It is interesting to a newspaper news-paper man to pick up the various country papers of Utah, and, after scanning the advertising advertis-ing columns, to note how very, very few of them depend on the locul advertisers for support. The columns may seem well-filled well-filled with advertisements, but to the skilled eye of one to the manner bred it is patent at once that very few of them yield anything any-thing in the way of ready cash. Tliero are a good many inches of advertising given in Utah papers in exchange fur b,ok., objects of ait, machines, etc , which the editor or manager wants but cannot pay cash for. The manager of The Independent Inde-pendent confesses sorrowfully that lie is in the same slcwpan of consomme with the rest of the boys. Like all other country printers ho has u certain number of local advertisers who stand by the paper an 1 help him boom their town, expecting to get as a portion of their reward re-ward un increase of wealth when the town shall have been "built up." Like in other towns, a class of men who dowo -thirds of the business do not assist the paper by a dollar's worth of advertising in a your. Of course, they all support the paper. Each one pays bin year's subscription with the regularity of clock-work. Each one, if tho local printer is willing will-ing to compete with Eastern sweat-shops, gives bis job printing print-ing to the country paper. But the profits of a job office, if there be any after Eastern prices are met, don't go very fur toward helping the subscription list support a newspaper. In fact, it leaves fully one half the revenue to be supplied by the advertisers. There are lots of people who possess a healthy curiosity in regard to the affairs of others, and the manager of The Independent, Inde-pendent, for purposes of his own, proposes to ventilate for their amusement certain features of this paper's policy and business busi-ness for the past year. Ten months ago when he took control of The Independent he found that two-thirds of its advertising support came from Provo and other outside sources; he also discovered that the Springville business men did not seem to relish this state of affairs, and from time to time registered their growls. It was reasonable to ruppose that a reversal of this policy would restore the sheet to favor, and that cart-loads of home advertising advertis-ing would reward his patriotic efforts. Accordingly, the numerous nu-merous and lucrative contracts made by the late manager, Mr. Felt, were allowed to expire, and no renewals were solicited. Instead, the shop was prepared for the reception of contracts with Spriuevillo firms, and all hands fixed up their holiday faces in anticipation thereof. But the expected rush failed to materialize. Then the manager manag-er went around to see why, and suggested to certain firms the propriety of giving the pnper a little support in place of what it had sacrificed for the benefit of local merchants. lie might as well have saved his breath. When springtime came the manager of this paper found that he had lost $150 in advertising adver-tising which he might have had during the winter for Iheasking, and had in return about $10 worth gained from Springville firms. Dr. C. J. Peterson was the only man who wa9 consistent in his attitude. Deal Bros. & Mendenhall, who had been reg-istering reg-istering the greatest kicks of all, invested the sum of $000 in advertising ad-vertising when the policy of the sheet had been revised in nccor- Pance ithheir (snfrrd) sug- cestions. It is interesting to note in this connection that D. B. A M. do the largest amount ( f busienss of any firm in town. These few remarks also apply to the Wood Mercantile Co., another concern which does a LJ.U I.'- IMS. 1ST- UwitS fcniiu u USi HAS. ivuea airoo. -i mum uao. in itm. Pk1 tT 1r,ir-j.

Packard Uros. do not do as much business as the others, but they spend just as much in advertising. II T. Reynolds & Ce., who j probably stand thirdin commer cial importance in Springville, up to about March 1st was a firm which stood by The Independent Indepen-dent in good shape. At about that date the editor, getting rattled rat-tled at the hollow appearauceof his paper's advertising columns, went to Provo and renewed $75 worth of his former contracts. After tho appearance of this Provo matter in the paper, Mr Reynolds, on being approached by our solicitor for a reuewa', exprssed his disapproval and gave our man to understand that no more contracts need be ex peeled under tha circumstances. As Mr. Reynolds the solicitor did with any further is 11 busy man, not annoy him discussion on the matter. The best palronsof this paper have been and are Wm. M Roy lance and the Springville Hanking Hank-ing Co. The former's business is not confined to this city alone, but his name is known wherever wher-ever there is anything in the shape of produce to be shipped in the state. The Springville Banking Co. is one cf the leading lead-ing institutions in the state. R A Deal and II. T. Reynolds, both of firms previously mentioned, men-tioned, are president and vice-president vice-president of this com puny respectively. Neither the bank or Mr-Roylanceevidently regard the local sheet as a charitable institution. The editor only regrets re-grets that his limited resources very often hamper him in his efforts ta fill commissions given him by these firms, to their annoyance. C. L. Crandall, Molen & Caff-rey, Caff-rey, Jas. B. Whitehead, O. J Peterson ond Erdmnn ifc Son are other principal local supporters of the paper in advertising They make no growls, and do not discourse, of economy There are a dozen others, pro fessional men and people with business the nature of which makes their support of a paper necessarily small, and a'l of them come up to expectations, and with no back talk From the above it will be seen that the people who do two-thirds two-thirds of the business in Springville Spring-ville allow the people who do the other one-third to provide the local paper with four-fifths of its advertising and other sup port. Beyond calling the at tention of Springville citizens to the significance of the above statement, we make no further comment. The editor of The Indepen dent is conscious that he isn't giving Springville as good a paper as he could under other circumstances. He does assert however that he is giving a better paper than most country towns have, and on less encouragement. encour-agement. He is not even getting get-ting the amount of patronage his predecessor enjoyed. He may as we'll own up that Gibson is discontented. The reason is not hard to guess. In fact, this is probably his last week as editor and manager man-ager of The Independent. Who his successor is remains to be seen. This "Plain Tale for Plain People" is penned and published for the purpose of placing the newspaper situation here before the people so that tbey can deal more liberally with the next editor if they wish to.

Two drops of this powerful drutf will cause a speedy death in any person not habituated to .the use of tobacco and a single drop is sufficint to kill a rabbit inntbree minutes. The use of tobacco by children prevents pre-vents the proper nutrition and irrowth of the bones, thus rendering them weak and liable to injury and deformity. The use of tobacco by young persons and even older persons produces weakened muscular power attended with irregular action. The skin of young cigarette smokers often bc-c bc-c lines unhealthy and of a sallow hue. Tobacco can in no sense be considered as a food, and is injurious to digestion. di-gestion. When used in chewing or aiokintf it excites the salivary glands causing an increased flow of sal i . In their over woiked condition the salivary glands no longer secrete healthy saliva, but a watery fluid deprived of much of its property of converting starch into sugar. Th's frequently impairs digestion. "Physicians," says Dr. Mussey, meet with thousands of cases of dyspepsia connected with the use of tobacco in some of its forms. The use of tobacco may produce an irregular heart-action, an exaggerated exagger-ated kind of palpitation, heart 'Buttering" or in some cases the heart beat may become greatly weakened by the tobacco poisoning. This is known to physicians as the ''tobacco heart." The use of tobacco is especially injurious to the throat and lungs. It causes the throat to become dry and irritated. Habitual smokers usually sutler, after a time, from what is known to be medical profession as the ''smoker's sore throat." The effect of tobacco upon the nervous system is that of modifying the energies and not the struetuer; certain glands, at first, are stimulated, stimu-lated, especially b cigarette-smoking, but the la'.ter becomes markedly debilitated, the power of concentration concentra-tion of mind is lessened, the intellectual intel-lectual activity is said to be impaired, and the whoic individual is crippled. Tobacco is a bane to the youth of the world. No boy from ten to fifteen years old can practice smoking or chewing one week without becoming mentally and physically less efficient when he reaches his majority than he otherwise would have been. ISy chewing and smoking tobacco the sensibility of the nerves of the tongue and palate may be lessened to such a degree as to greatly imi air the sense of taste. Iiease of "smokers sore throat" the inflainathjn may extend ex-tend to the Eustachian tubes, and tin middle ear greatly injured if not des troytmr the sens' of hearing. A ew ork specialist, says: "The greatest enemy to the eyes of young men is tne cigarette. Ueccntly a disease has appeared among smokers which is dangerous, and after careful investigation, tho best authorities, who for a long time were at a loss to understand the peculiar malady, have traced It to the small, paper-covered tooaeeo sucks. 11 is now Known as the cigarette eye and can be cured only by long, treatment. Its symp- tons are dimness and fllmlike gatherings gather-ings over trie eve, which appearand disappear at intervals." "Scientific Temperance'' by A. L, Lidd. After reading the above proven statements, should we not be aroused to more strenuous efforts in own town to lessen the use of this pernicious need, tobacco? It may not be generally gener-ally known that we have a city law regulating the sale of tobacco. Rut what is tn a law if not enforced? Let all who have any Interest at' all in the welfare of our boys, yes and girls too, insist on its enforcement. The law reads as follows. No. 4469 Any person who shall sell, give, or furnish any cigar, cigarette or tobacco, ia any form, or any opium to any person under the age of eighteen, in this state shall be fined any sum not less than ten, nor more than one-hundred one-hundred dollars. The provisions of this section shall not apply to the use, sale, giving, nor furnishing of any narcotic upon the prescription of a physician. An Enterprising: Dni?srlt.
