Blood Troubles Can not Re-
main If Properly
Treated.

There Is in s. g. S., the famous blood purf-
fer, property that absolutely compels harm
ful influences to disintegrate and lose their
identity. No matter what they are called
nor how destructive they are there Is In s. s.
8. a powerful, searching counter influence to
annihiiate the most eruptive germ, causes the
mucous Innings to convert 1t into an inert
substance that Is quickly thrown out Of the
blood and out Of the body by the skin, lungs
kidneys, bowels, and destroyed In the liver.
There Is not single advance In medicine
today that IN any sense Is an Improvement
over 8. 8. s. Surgery is a wonderful, mas
terful science, but when It comes to purlfyiny
the blood 8. s. 8. stands alone. Thousands Of
doctors have prescribed 1t. Their patients
do not always know 1t is s. s. s., because
they leave the treatment to the doctor i'm
plicitly. But fair-minded doctors long ago
realized that in the vegetable nature Of 8. 8.
8. were certain ingredients that to the blood
In sickness were just as essential as the flesh
building elements Of the grains, meats, fats
and sugars Of our daily food The averags

TRY SUITS AGAINST
GERMAN LINER

Boston, Mass, March 31-Trial is
set for today of the three suits
against the owners of the German
liner, Kronprinzessin Cecilie, in the
United States district court here. The
ship, while bound for Germany with
an enormous cargo of gold last July,
was forced to put back when nearly
across the Atlantic, to evade capture.
She made port at Bar Harbor, and
was later escorted by navy ships to
Boston.
The Guaranty Trust Co. of New
York sues for 1,040, ,467.43 for alleged
failure to deliver the gold bouillon in
Europe. Charles w. Rantoul of New
York, a passenger, sues for $4,000
damages, and Maurice Hansen OF
Brussels sues for 100000 because OF
his inability to land in Europe before
the destruction of his property In
Belgium by the Germans. Capt. Po-
lack of the ship will be one of the
principal witnesses. The famous
white, yellow, gray and other colored
officials papers of the belligerent ma
tions will probably play an important
part in the case.

CAR LOAD
Of Provisions Leave This
City On Monday
To Be Sent To The Belgian
Sufferers

Knox county has once more re.
sponded nobly to worthy cause.
A car load of food stuffs, donated
by the citizens of the community, was
shipped Monday morning to New
York to be transported thence by ship
to the destitute people Of Belgium.
Such is the result of the campaign
conducted for the past six weeks by
the citizens committee, under the
energetic Leadership Of Mr.. A. Spinas-
Sc, chairman, and Mr.. G. A. Miller,
secretary.
The total amount of money realized
by the committee amounted to $685.
95, ranging from cent, given by two
little girls of Gambler, to $110, given
by the Belgians of Mt. Vernon. In ad-
dition, 140 pounds of coffee were CIV
en-, over 400 pounds Of milk, $50
pounds of canned foods, as well as a
great variety of food for the kids. The
total weight Of all the supplies sent
was nearly 10000 pounds-29,20s to
be absolutely exact.
One of the most grateful features
of the campaign is the fact that con-
tributions came from nearly every
section of the county. It will no
doubt be a source of great satisfac-
tion to those who have given so gen.
erously to know that their efforts
have been so successful.

INAI
Game Between Mounts And
High School Postponed
Until April 7

After long discussion and consider
able hesitation, Manager X. H. Kin
ney Of the Mounts and Coach Fred b.
Hagaman of the high school basket
ball team, decided to postpone the
final game in the Mounts-High School
city basket ball championship series
until Wednesday evening, April Z.
1t was announced Tuesday that
Hector Jones, star guard on the high
school, could not possibly play on ac-
count of bad attack Of grippe which
has confined him to his home. How
ever, Coach Hagaman was willing to
go ahead, despite this unfortunate
circumstance, IL Guard Shut was in
shape to play. However, the latter
is also temporarily laid up and the
high school, IL entering the final con.
test, would have neither of its regu-
lar guards.
The expedient of weakening the
Mounts organization proportionately
was also suggested, but secuted be-
cause Of the poor showing that would
be made before the public.
Finally, 1t was decided that the only
satisfactory solution was to postpone
the game one week-a something
Manager Kinney hesitatingly agreed
to because of the fact that Shireman
might not be able to play center for
the Mounts at that time.
Wednesday evening, April z, then,
will see the final game in the series.
Don Hamilton Of Notre Dame will
referee as before.

Singrey were called to the Knox coun-
ty infirmary Monday night to investi-
gate the mysterious death Of a baby
days old.
On last Friday night Opal Young

ening the child was found dead in bed

stated Tuesday morning that his in
vestigation convinced him that the
death of the child was accidental.
Mrs. McManis, matron Of tho inflrm-
airy, took the child to his mother Mon
day night to be nursed. In about an
hour Mrs. McManis returned for the
baby and found it dead at its moth
er's breast. She Immediately called
the coroner. The latter took with
him DR.. Singrey to assist in the ex.
animation.
Opal Young, the mother of the
child. is 15 years Of age and is the

who is now serving a sentence In the
Ohio penitentiary. it being alleged
that he is the father of the child.
The body of the infant was turned

AS the coroner gives his opinion
that the babe was accidentally smoth-
cred, no further action will be taken
by the officials.

TOUGH
Job Has Army Officer Trying
To Find HOrSe.P Power
Of A Mule
fsan FRANCISCO Chroniclel

tSau EIhnCiocO 0bhOhiShOJ
Colonel Frank B. Mccoy Is surround.
ed by algebra, geometry, trigonometry
and even arithmetic books, endeavor.
ing to ascertain the horse power of a
Government mule.
1t seems that the War Department Of
the United States has for some time
been profoundly considering the ques-
ton of motor cars versus mules on
army posts. The War Department
does not intend to abolish the mule.
Far from 1t. But 1t is considering the
cost of having gasoline do the work
Of hauling stuff around army posts to
a great extent, and the question before
1t is the cost of installing, operating
and maintaining mules, and the rela-
tive work capacity of each.
The War Department requested Col.
onel Mccoy to ascertain at the earliest
possible moment the exact horse pow.
er Of a mule of given size and
weight and all other things that go
with answering the big question Of
horse power and efficiency and cost
as between mules and motor vehicles.
Even amid the hurry and hustle of
departure on sea trip to New York,
Colonel Mccoy found opportunity to
start his calculations while still at the
Preside, and for several days was a
constant visitor at the mule corral,
notebook and pencil at work. He was
found at the corral pondering deeply
and figuring frowningly by a Lieuten-
ant of his command.
MAY ask, sir" inquired the Lieu.
tenant, what you are endeavoring to
do?"
Colonel Mccoy fixed the young offic-
er with a baleful glare. Eyes, you
may ask. Also, I will answer" he re-
piled, grimly. II am trying to ascer-
tain the horse power of an army mule.
Have you any suggestions?"
How are you working 1t out, Col.
onel?" asked the Lieutenant.
81 am now starting in on trigonome-
try" replied the Colonel. "Differential
calculus comes next"
"Since you ask for suggestions" re.
marked the young officer, II would be
glad to submit one. / would suggest
that you select good horse and a
good mule. Tie their tails together. If
the mule can haul that horse around
tie another horse to the mules tail,
and keep on adding horses until the
mule can't pull AMI more. Then count
your horses and you'll have the exact
horse power of a mule"
The Colonel looked steadily into the
eyes of the Lieutenant. "A wonderful
suggestion, my boy" he said. II see
that l shall have valuable assistant
in you in working out this problem.
shall go to headquarters and stick to
the mathematical end of the problem.
You may remain here and keep tying
horses to mules tail until you get
the practical solution to the thing. II
there is anything left of you report to
me later what you have discovered
And that's the real "low down" rea
son why one lieutenant OF the Thirtieth
Infantry did not sail away on the
transport Buford. That Lieutenant sud
denly discovered that he had leave
of absence coming, applied for it by
telegraph and got it. Army officers are
brave men, and brave men do not com
NIT suicide deliberately by testing the
horse power Of mule by practica
demonstrations like that.

Josephine Nye Brings An
Action For Divorce
Other Items Of Interest From
The Court House

The attorney for Thomas Branch,
colored, who was found guilty Of rape
Monday afternoon, announced Tues
day morning that he would file mo-
ton for new trial in the court of
common pleas. Until this is heard,
Branch will not be sentenced. While
the sentence will be indeterminate,
yet the penalty for such a crime is
from 1 to 20 years in the penitent-
larry.
1t is alleged that Branch has bad
record In the past. Prosecutor Ber-
mont secured his record before the
trial Monday, but as Branch refused
to take the stand in his own behalf
this record was not introduced. It is
claimed that Branch has served three
terms in the penitentiary and at one
time was sent up for second degree
murder from Franklin county for kill
ing police officer in Columbus. He
was also sent up for highway robbery.

MONEY AND MARRIAGE. -
Money should not be the main object
in marriage, and yet you cannot live
entirely on love.
Girls never marry their ideal They
may think so before they are mar
ried, but they find it different after
they are married.
Dear Barbara, let me tell you my
own story:
knew young man, not rich, for
five years; that is, have been going
with him off and on for that length of
time. During this time some mem
bers of my family we're trying to fix
it up for me with young man whom
knew short time and from a dis
lance, but who was not well fixed.
Now, it may be that if l knew the
second young mans character as
well as l did the first ones 1 prob
ably would have married him, but 1
knew that if married the first young
man he would treat me the proper
way, whereas with the second one
l would be taking a chance.
