CATARRH

Just because you hawk and spit and
your nose is wet, cold, red, sore and
a nuisance, don't merely plug it up.
You can't cure catarrh by greaSing
your nose Take S. 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 thickens into catarrh.
S. S. S. stimulates the cells of the It's
sues to select from the blood their own
essential nutriment. 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 chills and fever, the ma
larial dysentery that seems to defy all
other treatment, the maiarial leg, the
enlarged liver, the persistent anemia
where the blood turns to water and
the system wastes away. These are
the conditions that S. S. S. so effectu-
ally ASSISTS in overcoming, by helping
TO restore the blood to it's natural vigor
STUBBORN SORES
Sometimes a sore spot becomes indo-
lent. The tissues surrounding it lose
tone and are unable to provide suffi-
cient nutriment to stop the drain It
is then chronic. Just saturate your
blood with s. SIS. This is quickly
accomplished, as S. S. S. is naturally
assimilated the same as milk or any
other healthful liquid.
Nature acts with marvellous rapidity
when given the proper assistance, and
S. S. S. so stimulates cellular activity
that the parts surrounding an ulcer Sc
lect from the blood the materials that
make new tissue. Thus the sore spot
rapidly heals in a natural way.
Local applications for any skin dis
ease will afford protection from with

POISONED BLOOD.
So many different things contribute
to poison the blood and the effect is
so startling that the sufferer becomes
panic-stricken and is led to use harm
full drugs. If you have any blood trou-
bic, get bottle Of S. s. s. and take
according to directions.
Don't take anything else. Poisoned
blood is bad enough without running
your bones. joints, teeth and vitals
with minerals. S. S. S. so stimulates
cellular activity that they reject all
poisonous influences and select only
those materials in the blood that make
healthy tissue. This is why its assist
ance toward recovery is so noticeable
and at times remarkable.
S. S. S. is welcome to the weakest
stomach and is assimilated just as
readily as the most nutritious food. It
has helped to cure a host of sufferers.
RHEUMATISM.
In any form of rheumatism give the
blood a good effectual cleansing with
S. S. S.
Use this remedy for three days and
take hot salt water bath TO open the
pores This relieves the lungs and
kidneys and assists S. S. S. to utilize
the skin as the principal avenue Of
elimination.
Avoid salts, calomel and other dras-
tic purgatives. as they absorb the mois.
ture from the walls and membranes OF
the intestines. weaken the muscular
action, produce chronic constipation
and thus stagnate the system with
rheumatic poisons. Get a bottle Of
s.. S. S. at any drug store. Don't
take a substitute.

trail powers of last month but that

see the indiscriminate torpedoing of
Whatever comes in front of the tor
pedo tubes to use the expression of
one of those who advocate this policy
will not be fulfilled. This is also the
deduction which those acquainted
with the situation declare can be
drawn from the resignation of ADJ
m1ral Won Tirpitz, which was fore
Swallowed few days ago by the re-
ports of his illness.
The conclusion is said to be
strengthened by the fact that Ad-
miraI Won Capelle has been chosen as
the new minister. He is known only
as an excellent administrative officer,
not having had ship command in the
last IS years. During this period he
has been at the admiralty, first as adj
visor on military affairs, then in the
budget department and finally as head
of the administrative department. He
was looked on as the right handIman
of Admiral Won Tirpitz until his re-
tirement last November.
The Tages Zeitung, which has been
one of the strongest supporters of
Admiral Won Tirpitz, says that it is
shaken by the news of the AdmiraIs
resignation Aand does not at present
feel itself in a condition to make a
comment thereon
The Morgen Post says ''there will
be universal regret that circumstances
made the retirement of the grand adj
miral necessary. The reasons for this
and the inner relations of affairs with
one another cannot now be discussed
but it will be regretted that there was

Paris, March 17-In excavating for
the opening up of the ancient arena
of Lutece in the Rue Monge on the
left bank of the Seine, a deep gallery
running parallel to the Seine and
paved with stone has been discovered
and the engineers in charge are now

finished Paris will possess an open
air theatre capable of accommo datfng
more than 10000 spectators and pro-

which open square will add a mar

REAL IRISH BAGPIPE
DISPLAYED IN STORE

On exhibition in a, window of the
GoldE Clothes shop, 1928 Main street,
is a set of genuine Irish bag pipes.
The instrument is the property of
William Maher. It is several gener-
ations old, and has been in the Maher
family longer than the present mem
bers know.
Unlike the Scotch bag pipes, the
Irish pipes are played with a key
board. The Scotch pipes have bass
drones of fixed tones, and the Irish
pipes have a variable bass.
