CIGARETTES FOR FIGHTERS

4 valued correspondent at Salt

and likes it. takes issue with Us
on the matter Of sending tobacco
to our troops abroad. He write,
that he has been assured by the
medical examiners at Camp Lew
is and Camp kearncy that men
who have never been addicted to
the use of tobacco pass a better
examination than those who use
it constantly. The health Of the
ii5th Utah field artillery. he says,
is The best in the army and by d
coincidence there are more men
in that unit who do not use to-
bacco than IN any other, From
these facts he draws the conrln-
sion, although he does not State II
quite so specifically as does Rev
Leon. Haley of Chotcau, that our
soldiers should not be furnished
with tobacco. as it does no good
and often Is harmful Ia the
health.
With regard To the direct bcne-
fits or injuries Of tobacco, we ar.
not prepared To give an authorl~
tatlve opinion. Many men use To-
bacco as liquor. without any ap,
parent signs of physical dctcr,or-
alton. Others suffer heart LESSONS
and Indigestion and, OF course
smoke away a great deal o
money.
These things, however, do no
