ister was justihed when he said the
other day that red tape threatens this
safety OF the republic. Some time ago
the navy yard nj Toulon needed two
ordinary saucepans for the galley OF
a submarine. After making the need
officially known. after using cams Of
paper and pints OF ink, the order was
given to a certain manufacturer to
supply the two saucepanS. which must
fulfil a number of specified require
ments. 1t was particularly emphasized
that the bottoms of the cooking ves-
sells must be OF the very first quality
and exceptionally strong. The factory
made the saucepans and q special COM
mission of technical experts was or
dered to examine them. which It did
most thoroughly, whereupon the pans
were sent, with a long report. TO the
chemical laboratory of the Navy De-
partment. which was to test the metal
of the bottom OF the pans. The chem
lists scraped the bottoms very carefully
and the pans were returned 10 the
commission with a favorable report
The commission then issued a new Off
cial report to the effect that the. sauce
pans would now have been eminentiS
ut for the galley of the submarine II
the official chemists had not scraped
the bottoms so hard that both pan
were now leaking, whereupon they
were sold as old metal and the same
proceedings started over again. In the
meantime the crew of the submarine
would be starving II the cook had not
on his own responsibility bought two
ordinary tin saucepans from a Toulon
hardware dealer.

How to Get
Rid Of catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and
It Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its rniseries There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid of 1t by a
simple, safe, inexpensive, home treatment
discovered by DR.. Blosser, who, for over
thirty-six years, has been treating catarrh
successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other. It is
not a spray, douche, salve, cream. or in
haler. but is a more direct ana thorough
treatment than any Of these. 1t cleans
out the head, nose, throat, and lungs so
that you can again breathe freely and
sleep without that stopped-up feeling that
all catarrh sufferers have. 1t heals
the diseased mucous membranes and
arrests the foul discharge. so that you
will not be constantly blowing your
nose and splitting, and at the same time
1t does not poison the system and ruin
the stomach, as internal medicines do.
II you want to test this treatment
without cost. send your address to DR.. ].
w. Ylosser, 261 Walton street. Atlanta,
Ga, and he will send you by return
mail enough OF the medicine to satisfy
you that IT is all he claims for IL as a
remedy for catarrh, catarrhal head
aches, catarrhal deafness. asthma,
bronchitis, colds, and all catarrhal COM
plications. h win also send you free
