Many matters OF international char
acter with particular significance 10
the college world have happened dur
ing the scholastic year now closing.
The present European war has pre-
cipitated a general interest through
out the nation in foreign trade; an
interest. however, that has slowly
been developing for years through the
vision and courage of an organization
like the Pan-American Union, con-
ferences and societies with peace and
international comfy propaganda,
large business concerns with foreign
trade connections, and various in
dividuals who, by virtue of their po-
sition in the service of the Govern
mont Of the United States or in the
educational and business world, have
not only seen the tendency in the
United States to view all things from
an enlarged or international view
point but have materially assisted
in directing, through the press and
in public utterance. an ever growing
current of sentiment for a large COM
meroe and comfy OF the United States

A lurch, a swing and a sudden shift,

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 arc swelling and infection of
the mucous membrane OF the nose
and throat. There is an increased
flow Of mucous in the nostrils and a
continual 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
disagreeable features, however, only
mark the earlier stages OF the dis
case. Unless Catarrh is checked, the
dripping of mucous will cause stom-
ach and intestinal troubles. Food will
not digest, but ferment and poison
the system; indigestion becomes
chronic, the stomach is acid, head
aches occur almost daily, the breath
has a disagreeable odor. 1t affects
the ears, and deafness may result.
Hawking and splitting are continual.
In fact, it is a disagreeable feature
of catarrh that the victim is not only
a terrible sufferer, but the habits re-
sulting from Catarrh are so disagree
able and insanitary as to be obnox-
ious to others.
Do not trust sprays and lotions.
Dismiss the idea that you can cure
Catarrh by rubbing petroleum prep
arations in the nostrils. Menthol and
Thymol, which form the large part
of these ointments, may give slight
relief by clearing the air passages,
but the relief is only temporary. S. S.
S. assists in relieving Catarrh by go
ing direct to the seat of the trouble
and cleansing the blood of its accu-
mutations of poisons. 1t helps 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 dis
ease is materially lessened. The &C
ton of S. S. S. is to tone up the
blood, revitalize, 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 Dis
eases. The first step is to go to your
druggist and secure bottle of S. S.
S. and take it according to directions.
Then write to the Medical Depart
ment of the Swift Specific Company,
Atlanta, Ca. 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-form-
ing drug; it has given relief in thou
sands of cases during the past fifty
years. Don't fail to ask for special
advice if you wish it, free.-Ady.

NAVY MAY INVESTIGATE
MAINE RADIO STATION
British Officials Complain Wireless
Has Been Operating in Violation
of Regulations.

As the result of representations on
the part of the British Embassy. the
Navy Department probably will make
an investigation OF the operations OF a
wireless station at Deering. Me. near
Portland.
Officials of the embassy have been
advised that the station is communi-
eating with vessels at sea and operat-
ing in violation of the regulations is
sued by the United States at the out
set of the war. Whether it has at
tempted transatlantic communication
is not known. 1t is stated that the
Tuckerton station. on the New Jersey
coast, has recently picked up messages
exciting attention. the source OF which
has been a cause of speculation.
The Deering station has been under
observation before. 1t was closely
watched at the time OF its coastruc-
ton. since the outbreak of war. The
understanding has been that the sta
ton was to act as a receiving station
for the station at Tuckerton. which is
devoted entirely to sending across the
Atlantic.
