DMtCT riOHT TO GO ON New Y'ork, March 2.—Despite the agitation looking to the prevention of th Dtllon-Darcy contest In Madison Square Garden next Monday night, based on the ground that Darcy left Australia to escape military duty. Chairman Wenck, of the Boxing Com mission, declared that he had received n6 orders from Albany regarding the biut, and in the absence of instructions from the Governor would not inter fere. No authentic message on the subject has been sent by Governor Whitman and well informed boxing patrons scouted the Idea that the Governor would attempt to have the bout called off on so flimsy a pretext as the mili tary status of Darcy. Here's One of the Ways Malicious Lies were Circulated about CAMEL Cigarettes In an effort to injure the wonderful sale of CAMEL cigarettes, many unprincipled schemes have been resorted to. The fol lowing is one of many ways such lies have been put into circulation. An individual liar would approach a group of men, produce a newspaper, published in a distant city, and apparently become inter ested in reading. Suddenly he would ex claim, "What do you think of this?" He would then pretend to read an article about CAMEL cigarettes. In reality, the paper contained no such statement. The indi vidual would at once walk away, carrying the paper with him A newspaper from a distant city was always used in an effort to cover the tracks of the liar. Would anyone voluntarily do this kind of unprincipled work? They must have been paid by someone to do it, and all of them should be exposed. An honest man will not knowingly work under the direc tion of a crooked superior, nor will an honest superior knowingly tolerate a crooked employee. However, some sales men have told the trade that they had in their possession a newspaper containing a damaging article about CAMEL cigarettes. This was a malicious falsehood, as they had no such newspaper, and when asked to produce it, they were unable to do so. CAMEL cigarettes are pure and delightful and the most popular cigarettes ever sold at any price. Cigarette smokers will not, for any length of time, permit malicious false hoods to prejudice them against CAMELS. R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY Winston-Salem, N. C.
