YOU MAY KNOW CATARRH
BY ITS SYMPTOMS
You Can Relieve the System
From This Disagreeable
Disease By Treating 1t
Through the Blood.

Eminent specialists are agreed that
Catarrh is an infection of the blood
No matter how contracted, it infects
the blood, and must be treated
through the blood. The most usual
symptoms of Catarrh in the earlier
stages are swelling and infection of
the mucous membrane of the nose
and throat. There is an increased flow
OF mucous in the nostrils and a con-
tinual dripping in the throat. The
mucous membrane is irritated until it
becomes raw and sore. Scabs form in
the nostrils, clogging air passages and
making breathing difficult. These dis
agreeable features, however only
mark the earlier stages of the disease.
Unless the Catarrh is checked. the
dripping of mucous will cause stom-
ach and intestinal troubles. Food will
not digest but ferment and poison tho
system; indigestion becomes chronic,
the stomach is acid, headaches occur
almost daily, the breath has a dis
agreeable odor 1t affects the ears,
and deafness may result Hawking
is a disagreeable feature of Catarrh
that the victim is not only a terrible
sufferer, but the habits resulting from
catarrh are so disagreable and un-
sanitary as to be obnoxious to others.
Do not trust sprays and lotions. Dis
miss the idea that you can cure ca
tarrh by rubbing petroleum prepara-
N,,.,,. L., a.
mol, which form the large part of
these ointments, may give slight re-
lief by clearing the air passages, but
it is only temporary. S. S. S. assists
in relieving catarrh by going direct
to the seat of the trouble and cleans
ing the blood of its accumulations of
poisons. 1t helps to Danish catarrh
by aiding nature. Catarrh fills the
blood with germs-it poisons the
whole system, it so weakens the blood
that its power to ward off disease is
materially lessened. The action of
S. S. S. is to tone up the blood, revital-
ize, strengthen, cleanse and renew it.
1t goes back to the first principle OF
health, by making the blood vigorous,
healthy and clean. 1t is this hope of
strength that S. s. S. holds out for
sufferers from catarrh, rheumatism,
blood and skin diseases. The first
step is to go to your druggist and Sc
cure a bottle of S. S. S. and take it
according to directions. Then write
to the Medical Department of the
Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Ga,
for advice. Tell them your symptoms,
how long you have been troubled, etc.
One thing we would impress upon you
is that S. S. S. is a purely vegetable
remedy and cannot possibly injure in
any way. 1t contains no mercury or
habit-forming drug! 1t has given re-
lief in thousands of cases during the
past fifty years. Don't fail to ask for
special advice if you wish it, Free

URGES MILITIA
BE DEVELOPED
Cardinal Gibbons Appeals
Strongly For Preparedness
Prior to Celebration
By Special Correspondence


Philadelphia, Nov. 17.-Urging that
this country develop it's State militia so
as TO be fully guarded against any
emergency and declaring that such
plan of defense was superior to an
increase in the regular army, Cardinal
Gibbons, last night made a strong ap-
peal for national preparedness.
do not let us increase our regular
army" he said. merely to have young
men waste their lives in slothfulness
in barracks. I think we should have a
strong militia Let our young men
spend so many weeks, or. If necessary,
so many months year in the perfec-
ton of this militia.
Each State would carry out the de-
tails of its militia but above all would
be the commanding federal officer di-
recting the general campaign of de-
fense.
Calls Hyphenated American Myth
Cardinal Gibbons also declared that
the so-called hyphenated American
was myth, that the foreigner who
had made this country his home was
practically as loyal as the native born.
IN his plan for national defense he in
uorsed in many respects the propagan-
da of the National Security League.

I'VE must refrain from an indulgence
In the nervous apprehension that is af-
fecting SO many of our citizens at this
time. We must remain sane. The
wild talk of preparedness is wrong.
am against peace at any cost, but I am
equally opposed to the increase .of our
army and navy. 1t is not necessary.
There is no need for America to be
alarmed fn-nlU
Hopes For Peace Here
IF this country continues the policy
which has allowed us to remain at
peace these many years with Europe,
there is no reason why we cannot so
continue. We should avoid a foreign
policy of aggression. Then we will
not need to be embroiled in war. Any
way, the nations of Europe are ex-
hausted to-day with their lighting.
America need not be alarmed"
The Cardinal was asked as to the
effect of Christianity on the war.
christianity has no part in Europe's
struggle" he said. Those who are
fighting have fallen away from and
forgotten the principles of Gods
teachings. Else there would be no
war"

In Treating tuberculosis

it should be remembered that one of
the aids to relief is found in abund-

malady. but in many cases there is

her power is limited. Before she can
do her most. there must be a return

WE'D COMMONER
Daughter of Austrian Com
mander i'll Chief Will
Marry Physician
By Associated Press

Berlin, Nov. 16, via London, Nov.
l7.-According to the Lokal Anzeiger
the Archduchess Isabelle Marie,
daughter of Archduke Frederick, COM
mander-in-chief of the Austrian army.
is about to marry a commoner having
promised her hand to Prof Paul AL
brecht, a Vienna physician.
The archduchess had short though
unhappy romance as the consort of
Prince George of Bavaria. who she di-
Vorced few months after their mar
Iriage. She then devoted herself to
nursing under the name of Sister Irm-
gard, and in the course of her work
met DIR. Albrecht. She has been de-
voted in her services to the Red Cross
during the war.
The marriage of Prince George of
Bavaria tothe Archduchess took
place in Vienna in Febraury,
1912. The Archduchess renounced
all her rights to the succession to the
throne of Austria or Hungary on her
marriage, but when the papal court
dissolved the union it was stated she
would regain her status as a member
of the Imperial household of Austria.
Shortly after the marriage and
while on their honeymoon the prince
and his consort quarreled and parted.
A reconciliation was effected, but in
compatibility of temperament soon de-
veloped again and their final estrange-
ment and the divorce followed.
