Rheumatic Throat

To Prevent Recurrence.

There are successful gargles that stop
soreness In the throat, but to prevent their
incessant return, the blood must be put In
order. The best remedy is S. s. s., as IL
influences all the functions Of the body to
ncutralize the lrritants or waste products
and TO stimulate their excretion through
the proper channels.
Rheumatic sore throat is q dangerous
indication. as II means that the blood Is
loaded with more uric acid than the kid
neys can excrete. and may thus lead 70
serious general disturbance.
The action Of s. s. S. stimulates cellular
activity. II prevents the accumulation OF
irritants In local spots 1t enables the
arteries to supply quickly the new red
blood to replace worn-out tissue.
For this reason uric acid that dnds the
throat an easy prey to Its breaking down
influence, Is scattered and eliminated IN

YOUTHS TRIAL TODAY
ON BURGLARY CHARGE
Walter Marsh. Suspect. Enormously
Confused with March Family by
Similarity of Names.

The case Of Walter Marsh, eighteen
years old, arrested by Policeman w. H.
Brauning. of the Tenth precinct. on a
charge Of attempted housebreaking and
carrying concealed weapons, will come
up in the Police Court today for de-
cision, his case having been under ad-
visement since Saturday. Inadvertently
the name was printed as March," and
in the statement made he was said to
be the son OF a prominent army officer.
There is but one army officer who
spells his name March" ana this boy is
not his son. or any way related to him.
At the time OF his arrest, the youth,
Marsh, stated in the presence Of
Lieut. Thomas Judge and several pri-
Yates of the Tenth precinct, he was
prominently connected. Unfortunately,
however, the name was misspelled.
According to Policeman Brauning.
young Marsh was attempting TO enter
the store Of r. J. Laleger, at the south
west corner of Columbia and Ontario
roads. He gave his address DIS that of
a fashionable boarding house in north
west Washington. Assistant United
States Attorney Ralph Given stated last
night the father Of young Marsh had
appeared at his office Saturday.
The similarity of the two names
March" and Marsh" and the inadver-
tent error appearing, when the name
should have been Marsh. resulted in much
embarrassment yesterday to an army
