The Tulsa Press club is bending
every effort 10 provide program OF
entertainment and education at thls

CATARRH

Just because you hawk and spit and
your nose js wet, cold, red, sore and
o nuisance, don't merely plug 1t up.
You can't cure catarrh by greasing
your nose. Take S. S. $. regularly
and you will drive catarrhal poisons
out Of your blood. The membranes
will soon recover and no longer con
tinue to accumulate the mucous that
gathers and thckens into catarrh.
s. s. S. stimulates the cells of the It's
sues to select from the blood their own
essential nuiriment. Rapid recovery
from catarrhal inflammation in the stom-
ach, kidney, bladder and all mem
branes is the result.
MALARIA.
Throughout the country, wherever
malaria abounds, are happy, joyful
people TO whom s. s. s. has given won
derful help in the treatment of mala-
ria after the most sickening torture
imaginable.
The gaunt complexion Of malaria's
victims, the chlls and fever. the ma
larial dysentery that seems TO defy all
other treatment, the malarial leg, the
enlarged yer, the persistent anemia
where the blood turns 10 water and

the conditions that S. S. S so effectu-

Saws He's Not but How Did
the Menace Get It's
Circulation!
HARD TO EXPLAIN
All Republican Voters in
state Are Mailed a
Copy Of Sheet.

Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY, March Ia
ON March Jim Harris, in an inter-
view in the Tulsa Democrat, made the
following statement: AT various times
recently | have run NJ against the
story that ! am fighting McGraw be
cause he is "A Catholic. That iS not
true. Neither myself nor anyone con
ncctcd with my headquarters nave
sought to make political capital of my
opponents church affiliations. DO
not approve of mans personal or
religious affairs being used In a polit-
ical campaign
on March 10 to 13. the Republican
voters in every county received
marked copies of the Menace n
publication appealing To unrestrained
religious prejudice, printed AT Aurora,
Mo-, containing "A two column article
attacking Jim McGraw and the men
who are closest to him in his cam
paign for national committeeman. rms
attack is based solely on the fact that
Mr.. McGraw is u member of the
Catholic church.
Jim Harris, in his office rs national
, committeeman, Is one of the men who
has a list of the Republican voters OF
Oklahoma 1t is evident that this list
of names was furnished to the
Menace" and the work of mailing
these papers was paid for by Mr.. iiar-
ris or his supporters.
Thos acquainted with Jim Harris
and his dictatorial methods know that
he permits nothing to be done by his
campaign managers without his ap-
proval. The manner in which he is
using this disreputable sheet in the
hope of stirring up prejudice against
McGraw indicates the extremity in
which Harris finds himself and dem
onstrates his unfitness to represent a
great political party. Not embarrassed
by any religious activities of his own,
| he evidently believes that Republican
voters will feel as he does, that church
membership is a bar to a candidate for
party hOnors.
