Some Results
of Catarrh
Even Slight Cases of Catarrh Have
Terrible consequences.


Terrible Consequences.
Every case of catarrh, of course, is
not fatal. Nor does every case result
in consumption or bronchitis, but
nevertheless they are very frequent.
No man or woman knows what his
or her case of catarrh will lead to.
Men of robust health have succum bed
to resulting consumption and partial
idiOcy Women of strong vitality have
become nervous wrecks and victims of
always a preventive against the ca
tarrh germs.
The more you feel sure there is no
danger of the catarrh resulting in a
disease more serious, the more dan
ger there is; simply because you neg
lect yourself This happens in hun
dreds of cases and we see it recorded
almost daily in the letters we receive.
eff I had only started earlier" is a
very frequent expression, showing that
our warning is not fanciful, but based
on fearful reality.
Even slight cases of catarrh may
result in nose cancer, than which there
is hardly a more pitiful affliction in
this world.
Catarrh Fatally Frequent.
Some of the frequent results of ca
tarrh are bronchitis, pneumonia,
death, and decay of bones, loss of
thinking and reasoning power, death
in am bition and energy, loss of appe-
bad breath, raw throat, raw sores in
the nose, general debility, and some
times idiocy and insanity.
This is why in the death list you do
not find a mention of fatal catarrh ;
the death is caused not directly by the
catarrh itself, but by a disease which
was caused by catarrh. Medical books
and cyclopedias will tell you even
more serious news than we tell you
here; probably after reading them
you will have full realization of what
it is to have catarrh-a common dis
ease, it is true, but with a common
result-misery for years if not death.
Cure Is Certain.
You can cure that catarrh, slight or
serious, once and forever by means of
Gauss Combined Treatment. We
don't ask you to believe it before prov
ing it yourself. Therefore we send
you treatment at our own expense,

CHANCELLOR OF EXCHEQUER IN
FORMS HOUSE OF COMMONS
THAT HEAVY SUR-TAX ON LII.
QUOR MUST BE IMPOSED
Import Duty ON Spirits Containing Z
Per Cent. Alcohol or Above to Be
Doubled and Beer Revenues Are to
Be Increased - Total Prohibition
May Come at End of War.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 29.-Chancellor of
the Exchequer Lloyd-George in an ad-
dress before the house of commons
this afternoon informed members Of
the assembly that the government had
determined to imposed heavy sur-tax
On all spirits produced in the United
Kingdom, and that this tax is to be
applied to light wines and beer, as
we'll as whiskey. All alcoholic bey-
erages containing per cent. or more
Of alcohol, is to pay the increased, the
chancellor stated, and vociferous ap-
plause greeted the statement.
The import duty on whiskey, wines,
and beer is also to be increased, the
present duty on such imports being
doubled. The reason assigned for the
proposed increase by the chancellor is
the need of additional revenues dur
ing the continuance of the war, but
strong undercurrent of opinion is
that imposition of these taxes on
spirits is the first step toward toal
prohibition throughout England. Alb
olition of the traffic is no longer anti
cipated until the end of the war, but
the signing of peace treaties between
the warning nations is certain to be
the signal for a nation prohi-
bition campaign, with every prospect
that the campaign will be successful.

COUNCIL ORDERS
IMPROVEMENT Of
ANOTHER STREET

The permanent Improvement of res
idence streets is the purpose of city
council, and to that end some of the
heretofore neglected thoroughfare5
are to be improved and beautified.
Prominent among these will be Spring 9
street, a very important artery of traf-
fic, but just at present, one of the
most neglected on the west side, des-
pite the fact that it forms a unit of
the main highway south and west, and
is travelled, perhaps, more than any
other
The city council last night instruct
ed City Engineer j. B. Ansley to grade
this street from Dudley to the Cen
tral railway crossing, and granite
curb the south side of it, the expense
to be borne by the city and property
owners.
The fact was cited that the county
commissioners had recently expended
eighteen thousand dollars in the
grading of the extension OF Spring
street, and the building of two hand
some concrete bridges at that point,
and continuation of this work of i'm
provement within the city limits was
to be desired. This street leads to
Magnolia Dell and, as stated, forms a
link in the le-Thomasvilla
highway
At the meeting of council last night,
report was made of the recent opening
of the street leading from Lee to the
Americus hospital and beyond and to
the entire satisfaction of all interests
involved 1t is quite likely, in view
of the opening of the street to the hos
pital, that the city will, very soon, ex-
tend Harold and Hancock avenues
southwark to Dodson street, thus de-
veloping a very fine and desirable
southside residence tract
In many sections of Americus, the
spirit of progress and development is
much in evidence.

UNCLE SAM WILL
NOT RECOGNIZE
MEXICO FACTION
(By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 29-The
United States is not considering the
question of recognizing any govern
ment in Mexico at this time. Secre-
tary Bryan gave utterance to the fore
going declaration this afternoon when
his attention was called to the report
itHat the Carranza faction expected
early recognition by the United States.
1t is known that Carranza officials are
in Washington urging their claims for
recognition as belligerents, but a deaf
ear has been turned to their appeals
by state department officials, and the
president has consistently declined to
receive delegations anxious to pre-
sent their claims.

MARTIAL MUSIC
LACKING IN WAR
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, April 29.-The fact is be-
ginning to attract attention that the
war has not yielded in Germany a
single musical composition of note.
A number of composers have brought
out so-called Hindenburg marches, but
not one of these has attracted public
attention; the average German has
not even heard one of them. No new
war-song has attained even the slight
est degree of popularity. New war
poems in considerable numbers have
been written, but these are all sung
to old, we'll established melodies; yet
they have failed to catch the ponlar
ear The soldiers continue to sing the
traditional national songs, like the
Wacht un der Rhine" Deutschland,
Deut schland ueber Alles," and others.
What few new things they do sing are
for the most part melodies from comic
operas.

VERONA, Italy, April Railway
service on the Austrian frontier is
virtually suspended for ordinary pur-

tinue to make their way from the in
terror toward the Italian border.
Concentration of troops in striking
distance of the international line was

at points convenient to railway lines
leading toward the border. How many
troops have been thus assembled is
being jealously guarded by both italy

fully prepared to strike without de-
lay, all plans for an invasion Of the

PLOT To BURN TOWN
BLOCKED BY AUTHORITIES
(By Associated Press.)

VANCOUVER, B. c., April 29.--
A disastrous fire, held by police Off
cials to be part of a plot to burn
the city, started simultaneously today
in the Gamble and Granville street
bridges, connecting the residence and
business sections of Vancouver. The
loss sustained will total 100000, with
insurance amounting to probably a
third.
German sympathizers who thus far
have escaped internment in British
military camps, are suspected of hav-
ing started the confiagration, that lit
tie evidence has been collected tend
ing to connect suspected individuals
with the fire. An investigation, is un-

WAR INTEREST
CENTERS AROUND
FLANDERS COAST
[BS Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 29.-Fighting at the
tip of the Gallipoli peninsula, across
which the British have strung their
forces, and the efforts to dislodge the
Germans from Steenstraite, the only
point which the invaders have been
able to hold since their recent rusn
in Flanders, are the centers of war
interest today. Both situations, ap-
parently hold the greatest possibil-
tiles, and signal defeat for either
army at these critical positions would
be filled with far-reaching results.
Although Turkish and Germans re-
ports maintain that the British on
the west and the French on the east
side of the DardanelIes are being
crushed in their efforts to push for
ward, English newspapers this after
noon assert vehemently, these reports
are being deliberately framed for the
purpose of influencing the position of
Italy and other wavering neutrals in
their attitude toward the war.
The British war ministry has issued
no official statement regarding opera
tions at the Dardanelles up to 2:20
this afternoon, and the English peo-
pie are anxiously awaiting authentic
news from the east, where it is now
known force exceeding 100000 men
has been landed. The French troops
under General D'Armade are being re-
lied upon to carry the forts on the
Asiatic side of the straits and the PEN
insula of Sinai has been chosen as
their field of operations, with the
British army blockading the Galipoli
Peninsula On theNEuropean side. The
forts on both sides of the straits have
sutained tremendous damage, during
previous bombardments, but great
feet of warships is cooperating with
the land forces there, and substantial
progress is fully anticipated within a
week.
In the west the heaviest fighting is
under way about Steenstraits, where
the German position at noon was be-
ing made uncomfortable by the well
directed fire of Belgian and French
batters, placed in positions command
ing the town. German rushes be-
fore the British Canadian front have
subsided almost entirely, and in that
area practically all of the ground
lost three days ago has been re-occu-
pied.
Neither the French or Germans
claim any substantial gains as the re-
suit of today's fighting, though losses
have been heavy on both sides.
