pertaining whether or not he always
displays the same care in describing
the doings of our citizens in fur and

is recalled at one of the clubs which
seems to show that. although the
mighty Nimrod of the white house
may in no sense be conspicuous ma
ture faker himself, he is sometimes
tremendously imposed upon without
knowing 1t.
The story was told here to a party
of friends by photographer who has
served one of the New York weekltes
with his camera in several wars and
in many countries. He has photo
graphed President Roosevelt in var

times, just as he pictured President

on the alleged evil effect of the cigar
cite itself, which is still a mooted
question, it is desired to bring TO the
departments attention its increased
and immoderate use by the young en-

bureau it is not the cigarette itself
but its Incorporate use which is to be
condemned and corrected.

cigarettes and the amount of cigarette
tobacco consumed on board ship, Sur

of the Missoqri's canteen the following
statement of what IS regarded as a

the average complement being 700:
