 Quick Work of Preparation.
 The president issued the orders for the sailing of this fleet on August 23, and since then coal mines, railways, provision dealers, and manufacturers of heavy ordnance and ammunition have known the busiest season they have had since the Spanish-American war. Altogether 35 vessels go to San Francisco, and when all have as- sembled in the waters of the coast of California, Fighting Bob" Evans will have under his command the largest, most invincible, the most perfectly equipped fleet that has ever mobilized in one place since the history of the world began.
 The aggregate displacement of the vessels sailing is nearly 42,000 tons, and the aggregate power is 664 guns of four inch calibre and over The four divisions of this fleet will carry 5S1 of ficers and H. 300 enlisted men, as fine an array of tackles as any navy has ever known, and an earnest and eager set, too, for as soon as the news of the cruise was noised abroad enlist ments increased rapidly throughout the navy and assertions became prac tically unknown.

 The item of coal alone is not in- considerable.

Danger of cigaret Smoking

Stop cigarets?' exclaimed my
patient. what, doctor, | couldn' t
do it. /"
WELL" said l, you've got to stop
them. That is if yon want me to
treat you"
Aud | explained to him some-
thing of the bad efIects-the deadly
effects of the cigaret. / told him
the smoke of the paper in which
most ciglrets were wrapped would
injure the delicate membranes of the
mouth, throat, air pipes and lungs.
l mentioned the fact that cigarets,
especially the cheaper kinds, were
made of poor tobacco, and that the
desired flavor was impaired by the
use of various drugs and fllavoring
matters. Also that every cigarette
contained the nico.ineof the tobacco,
"a most powerful poison.
{ All these are bad enough.
But they are not the-worst things
about the clgarets. One is this: The
man or boy who smokes cigarets
smokes so many of them. Watch
the man smoking cigar He fin
ishes it and throwsit away. Does
he light another? Not often. One
usually satisfies him. But the Gig
aret smoker smokes half dozen at
a time, no end. Twenty times a
day the cigaret smoker will light
his half-cent coffin tack for two
minuet puff, when he would not
think of burning a good 10 or Is
cent cigar. Cigars and pipes ale
bad enough, but cigarets are by all
means worse
Another thing: the cigarette smok-
er always inhales. mo enjoyment
if you don't" he will tell you. Now
the lungs contain working surface
of LOGO square feet-equal to the
floor of a room 40 feet sqaure. The
surface is all crinkled up; but its all
there in small compass. The in
hailed smoke is brought into direct
contact with this surface and forms
upon it a coating which prevents the
oxygen from getting in or the poi
sons of the breath from escaping.
That is why the cigaret smoker is
always thin, pale and weak; he is
starved for oxygen and poisoned by
his own breath.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than$ all
other diseases put together, and un-
til the last few years was supposed
to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local rene
dies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
