The Evils of ~Nicotine,
Most men and some women will
be in favor of giving a rising vote
of thanks to the London physician
who has announced that “the dau-
gers to smokers from nicotine pox-
soning is so small as to be almost
negligible." Men who have smok-
ed for a score of years will not‘be
greatly surprised but they may be
curious to learn how the doctor
came to his conclusion.
He says that he steeped ten
grains of tobacco in alcohol and
water so as to extract the nicotine
and, having accomplished this,
gave the drug to a dog. The joke
was on the dog for it died with
very little hesitation. He then
took ten grains of tobacco and
burned it in a pipe, so constructed
as to hold all of the smoke produc:
ed, and gave the liquid resulting
to another dog of the same weight
and breed as the one formerly ex-
perimented upon. It disturbed the
interior of the canine to some ex-
tent but aside from that the dog
experienced no ill effects.
The physician feels that combus-
tion changes the nicotine into
cresols, phenols and the like, thus
transforming it from a poison to
an antiseptic under which condi-
tions tobacco may be good for the
health. Perhaps he is right about
it; one is inclined to think of Jo-
'seph G. Cannon as an illustration
of the theory. He has not died as
yet, so far as we know, and he has
been addicted to smoking for more
years than some of those opposed
to it have lived.
Being a London physician, and
perhaps not an old one either, this
scientist may not have noted that
the habit of chewing tobacco is not
necessarily fatal even though it is
less common in New England than
it was forty years ago. Men who,
had the habit then are still alive——
some of them—and are still vic-
tims of the practise which horri-
fied Charles Dickens upon his first
visit to this country. If nicotine
is a poison it is frequently a very
slow one.
The person who wishes to know
whether tobacco is harmful must
experiment for himself. In his
case it may prove to be a poison
or it may be beneficial. The facts
will not support those who insist
that it is beneficial in all cases
or harmful in all.

Admiral Cowles
The death at Farmington yester-
day of Rear Admiral William
Sheffield Cowles ends a life of
distinguished service to his coun-
try. For nearly half a century he
served in the United States Navy
which he entered as an ensign fol-
lowing his graduation from the
Naval Academy at Annapolis in
1867. His promotion came as the
result of his ability and devotion
to duty.
When the United States entered
'the war in 1917 Admiral Cowles
was 71 years of age, but he
promptly enlisted in the Connec-
ticut State Guard and was detail-
ed to the Connecticut river patrol.
He became chairman of the naval
‘ and military committee of the
State Council of Defense and
worked with all the energy and
enthusiasm of a much younger
man.
But while his long official years
of service command the admira-
tion and respect of his fellow
countrymen, those who were his
friends found him much more than
a faithful and tireless worker.
Hn‘personality was charming, his
genial ways made meeting him a
.delight. His death is a loss which
‘wilLbe widely felt.
. 'To those who feel that the world
as growing ill-tempered and
bigoted we commend the fact that
, a Protestant Episcopal parish in
finch has turned over a Sunday
‘mlleetion to its Roman Catholic
neighbors whose church was .re-
, burned.

Indian “Machis” Are
Held in Low Estate
BUENOS AIRES. May :.—The man
who practices medicine among the
Araucanian Indians of Chile and the
Argentine is without honor in his
own country. for as soon as he be—
comes a “Met-hi." or doctor. he must
wear his hair long like the women
and dress as the women do. At a
least he is forced to sit with the wo-
men and he walks behind the men
when on the road. The majority of
physicians are women.
D. S. Bullock. representative of
the United States department of ag-
riculture here. who has spent a. num-
ber of years among the Araucanians.
studying their language and their
customs. describes them as “one of
the best of native American races.”
The tribe now has a population of
120.000, only 20,000 or them being in
the Argentine.
‘fThe Areucanians never were con-
quered by the Incas of Peru. and
the Spanish' were unable to subdue
them until 1882." said Mr. Pollock.
"The Araucanians re'ligiou is very
interesting." said Bullock. “They use
two words for our single word.
'God.’ one being 'Nguenchen.’ mean-
ing ‘ruler of the people.’ and the oth-
er ‘Nguenemapun.’ moaning 'ruler of
the country.‘ They have a. prayer
feast directed to Nguenemapuu in the
spring of each year. and one of the
principal ceremonies is the mcriflce
of a lamb. At this service they pray
for rains an da good harvest.
TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT
LONDON. May 2.—J. T. Egham.
83. retired miller. .decided that he
had been living too quietly since his
retirement and went to Eastbourne to
mix with the Easter holiday crowds.
As he left his hotel. a mad bull broke
loose in the street and charged him.
He just .beat the bull to a tree. Then
he went to the beach nearby to seek
peace and fell over a low clit! into the
see. He was fished out and went
back to retirement.
