OF TRUTH.

1t was only short time ago the Fort Smith Record mentioned the strenuous efforts that were being made by the tobacco trust to show that cigarettes were not so deleteri- ous ia their effects on health as has been claimed by those who have made a study of the subject. The country was flooded with pamph- lets few weeks ago, claiming to show that the cigarette was as pure and spotless as the driven snow and that it had been most terribly nal igned. Expert medical opinions which must have been bought in a pretty cheap market-were pro duced to prove all this.
 la this connection, however, it is interesting to note that Dr. Benj. King of Philadelphia, who acted as an examining surgeon during 186l- 63, in New York and Pennsylvania Ohio and Indiana, says that the average reiections' during those years did not exceed 13 per oent. He attributes toe large increase al- most entirely toIthe cigarette habit '.I have been inspecting the papers in a number of cases under the pres ent recruiting act said pr. King and observe that most ot the men who failed to pass the medical ex- animation have weak hearts or lack the vitality necessary to make a good soldier. had expected that the percentage of rejeetions would be greater now that in 1861, but I did not dream that it would be al- most three times as great. The eX- amiuiug physicians with whom l have talked have generally told me that the excess of rejections is due to the large number of young men spplyiug for enlistment lwho have become victims of the cigarette habit.

The Successful Remedy for
NASAL CATARRH

must be non-irritating, easy of ap- plieation. and one that will by its own action reach the intlamed and diseased surfaces.
 ELEY'S CREAM BALM combines the important requisites of quick ac- ton and specific curative powers with perfect safety to the patient. This agreeable remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact. All druggists cheerfully ackn0wledg that in it the acme of Pharmaceutical skill has been reached. The most distressing symptoms quickly yield to it.

 Catarrhal sufferers should remem- Der that Ely's Cream Balm Is the only catarrh remedy which is quick ly and thoroughly absorbed by the diseased membrane. It does not dry up the secreti0ns, but changes them to limpid and odorless condition, and finally to a natural and healthy character.
 The Balm can be found at any drug store, or by sending 50 cents to Ely Brothers, 57 Warren St., New York. it will be mailed.
 Full directions with each package.

First Call For Volunteers.

Spokane, Wash, April 3O-Five thous-

Pacific depot at noon today to bid fare

terry A, who started this afternoon to
Tacoma on special train. 1t has been

Early this morning they began assembling
on Riverside avenue hoping to catch a

companies whom it was understood had
been ordered to leave this afternoon. Very
little business had been transacted today,
The stores have been open, but it has
been more to give the people chance

waiting for the parade than because the
proprietors expected or desired to do any
business.
The order from Governor Rogers came
last evening directing both companies to
be prepared to move on speciai North
ern Pacific train at o'clock, taking with
them all their camp equipments. The order
sent thrill through the ranks of the two
companies, but it caused perhaps moro
excitement among the friends of the boys
than among the volunteers themselves.
