AUSTIN, Tex.—Half of the
men and a fourth of the women
in the United States smoke cigar-
ettes daily, according to a recent
survey by the U. S. Bureau of
Census. That adds up to something
like 38 million cigarette addicts—
25 million men and 13 million wo-
men.
Those figures, besides revealing
the extent to which the smoking
habit ^has become ingraned among
Americans, accentuate the grim-
ness of the recently validated re-
lationships between cigarette con-
sumption and the general death
rate, including dreaded lung can-
cer.
It took the American Cancer
Society four years of concentrated
study of the smoking habits of
188,000 men to reach these conclu-
sions:
A 57 per cent greater death rate
from diseases of the heart and
circulatory system among smokers
as compared to non-smokers; a
97 per cent greater cancer death
rate; a 186 per cent greater death
rate due to pulmonary diseases ex-
cluding cancer; and a 29 per cent
greater rate of death front all other
causes.
Among men over 50 with a his-
tory of regular cigarette smoking,
the general death rate is 52 per cent
above the death rate for men who
have never smoked.
The same study revealed a slight
relationship between pipe smoking
I and lung cancer, and practically
! no relationship between cigar smok-
ing and lung cancer. Present stu-
dies indicate that the reason cig-
arettes are more important in the
cause of lung cancer than either
pipes or cigars is that the tars
in cigarette smoke is drawn in at
much higher temperatures.
In support of statistical evidence
relating smoking to cancer death
rates, it is possible to prove the
connection by laboratory methods.
By condensing the smoke of burn-
ing cigarettes and painting the
gummy tars on the shaved backs
of mice or rabbits, laboratory tech-
nicians have produced cancerous
growths on the animlas.
The question as to whether men
who smoked but quit have a low-
er death rate than those who have
not quit has also been answered
statistically. Men who quit ten-
years before the ^tudy was made
showed a death rate almost as low
as those who had never smoked.
Should you stop smoking? You
must answer that question alone.
Ask yourself if the fleeting plea-
sures you get from cigarettes—de-
scribed as “adult pacifiers” by the
late Dr. William Mayo—outweigh
the risks involved.
And keep in mind that the best
scientific research talent in the
world is- convinced that steady
cigarette smoking constitutes a
health hazard of major proportions.
The American Cancer Society
has turned its results over to the
National Institute of Health for
further checking.

Library Notice
More new books have been add-
ed to the shelves of the Woman's
Club Library., Two of these new
books are “How to Believe” hy
Ralph W. Sockman, D. D. and “The
Story of American Opportunity".
In Dr. Sockman's book he ans-
wers questions that challenge man's
faith. “How to Believe” speaks
realistically to questioning, seeking
people. "The Story of American
Opporunity” is the life-tory of
Hugh Roy Cullen, who considered
himself a selfish man even though
he has given away cash* and oil
properties valued at $175,000,1X10!
Here is a vividly recounted life
story not of a man who merely
“struck it rich” or who “got the
breaks”; hut of a man who creat-
ed his opportunities and made the
breaks, in a country that provides
the same chances to anyone who
can take advantage of them.
Th$ library, located above the
McKnight Drug Store, is open
every Friday from 4 to 6.

A special ceremony at Eldorado

the program. At Srguin, fireworks,

Jack-boro to record the colorful

County. History and present day
life in the county will also be
