The South is the tobacco producing area of the United States. Tobacco is one of the biggest and most lucrative crop of many states in that area. There, as the- vendors themselves say, men know tobacco. , Atlanta is in the heart of the "deep South." It is also in the, heart of the tobacco belt In Atlanta recently the Southern Medical' Association held a convention. Southern doctors spoke and they discussed tobacco.. There is ' - - , Oft-tim-es . - - ' l- - I -- IF IT WERE NOT for their desire to benefit the race with their scientific knowledge they might never have talked about tobacco. Financially they , iL might be better off had they avoided the subject. Especially might they be better off financially had they said tobacco did not harm the throat or nasal passages, that It did not make the breath offensive, that it did no harm to the lungt. But they said nothing like that. Braving local sentiment which naturally favored a major industry, there in the heart of the tobacco belt this cal association scheduled two talks by research men who-hadiscovered from honest study that tobacco Is harmful,- despite any and all propaganda to the contrary. Already we have read of lung cancer, Its tremendous increase, and its relationship to smoking. NOW DR. PAUL T. PETIT, Texas physician, told the Southern Medical Association that "all tobacco smoke is irritating," that the very nature of tobaccothe Ingredients of the plantchemicof the respiraally irritate and dry the membranes with their interferes and tract tory "excessively" normal functions.

The doctor -- - added that most smokers complain of wheezing', post nasal drip, cough, sore throat, and stuffy nOse. Dr. Henry D.

It calls for a positive dynamic life, one that is not overcome of evil, but overcomes evil with good. Its constant appeal is that we purify our hearts and purge out all pretense and hypocrisy. It requires surgery instead of salves. REPENTANCE IS INDISPENSABLE to the growing life, as in all growth there is constant adjustment, taking on and sloughing off. We cannot replace a bad life with 'a good one, by any single word or act, there must be a continuing process of replacing error and wrongdoing with truth and doing; of going from bad to good and from good to better. Sincere repentance does not mean that we should brood over past mistakes or continually look backward with regret. The way we are facing is more important than where we - are standing. , - 4 Without setritiality We can never achieve the niaced here upon great objective for which the earth.

It is especially refreshing" to obtain that unbiased opinion from the very heart of the tobacco belt, where men "know tobacco." and where, through scientific knowledge, and with the courage of their convictions, they, as doctors and researchers, warn the public against the harmful effects of this dangerous weed.
