WHAT CATARRH IS

II has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

CAMPING OUT.

Along with the growth of modern luxury, there are still lot of people who enjoy camping out in summer. It is the cheapest way to enjoy good vacation. A good tent costs little, it lasts many years, and your cot bed may be a lot more comfortable than what you pay day for in a summer hotel. If you locate near good fish, ing grounds, the biggest single item of food cost is largely cut out.
 One modern form of camping out perhaps provides about the acme of pleasure for people of simple tastes. This is where arrangements are made for a group of congenial people to occupy camps with joint arrange ments for tabel service. The build- ing of floors for tents, good screen ing, and comfortable furniture make the life less primitive. With meals served iE big tent, without formal ity, and with just good home cooking, the life is inexpensive.
 Many people of cultivated tastes but limited means find this life ideal They make intimate friendships that would never be acquired in the stiff life of hotels. :,

Dr. Robert Barany of Vienna Gets Nobel Prize While
 in Confinement.

Vienna, July 21.-Entering the war as a volunteer surgeon little known outside the circle of specialists of his own class Dr. Robert Barany of Vi- enna, after fifteen months of captiv- ity in Russia, has at last returned as an exchange invalid" to find himself famous as the Nobel prize winner 1p medicine.
 The knowledge which was the basis of his prize-winning book was gained chiefly as surgeon in Przemysl; the book itself was written in captivity; it has brought him 100000 crowns in money; and it played no small part in securing his release from Turkestan.
 The dramatic circumstances sur rounding his achievement hase greatly heightened the effect of his return to his family. Nominally he was per mitted to leave Russia because he is slightly lame from an affection of one foot from which he has suffered since child. Actually, his unexpected dis tinction, plus the efforts of Prince Karl of Sweden, went far to secure
 his exchange.
 Despite his 1ameness, Dr. Barany volunteered for service at the out break of the war, and was detailed as chief surgeon of the surgical depart
 ment of a hospital in Przemysl. It
 was while there. as he modestly ex-
 plains, that he was "so fortunate as to
 discover a new method for the treat
 ment of head wounds" discovery that enabled him to cure a vastly greater percentage of cases than be- fore.
 For four weeks after the fall of Przemysl the Russian commander all lowed the Austrian physicians to re-
 main Then in transports of about 100 they were sent to various parts of
 Russia, many to Siberia, the surgeon and many others to Turkestan. Un- l like many others, Dr.. Barany on his return was reported almpst universal ly good treatment in captivity, treat
 ment that included sufficiency of de- cent food liberty not too restricted. | and pleasant professional relations
 with Russian commanders and col ] leagues. Dr. Barany was. given fairt | ly ample opportunity to study, to 1 practice. and to lecture on his special l ty to Russian and captive Austrian 1 physicians.

James Stetson Metcalfe, as most playgoers know, is the dramatic critic of "Life,'' the New York hum orous weekly founded and edited by John Ames Mitchell. Mention of Met calfe and Mitchell naturally suggests, by alliteration's artful aid, Martin and Miller, and also Masson-the five Ms who have made Life what it is.'' Which brings us up to the statement that today is the fiftieth birthday-the golden jubilee-of MT.

 Thomas L. Masson-although he lqng ago abandoned that form of ad- dress and became plain ''Tom"-was born in Essex. Conn.,. July 21, 1866, and joined the staff of Life in 1893. As for the rest, the following appre- ciation of MT. Mason was written some time ago by Editor Mitchell:
 ''But the marvel of the universe, the greatest wonder of us-except myself. ,perhaps-is Mason. Aside from his literary work and responsi- bilities in putting the paper together, he is a founder and president of clubs, school boards. municipal improve ments, a political organizer and gen. eral disturber of the peace. Besides being professional philosopher and an expounder of such thingsNas Kant and Schopenhauer, he is an authority on education. dogs. hens and hygiene
 As systematizer, he is in class by himself. ComparAd with Mason the
