One of the specialists of the Swift Specific Con- pany in Atlanta-a physician of stand ing and national reputation because of his knowledge of blood disorders, made the assertion that if the majority of Catarrh sufferers would buy and faith fully take S. s. S., they could effectu- ally get rid of Catarrh.
 S. s. s. goes straight to the seat of trouble, the blood. It spreads its in- fuence over every organ in the body, comes through the veins and arteries, enables the mucous surfaces to ex- change acids and irritating substances for red blood corpuscles that effectual- ly cleanse the system and thus put an end to all Catarrhal poison. S. S. s. cleans out the stomach of mucous ac- cumulatiors. enables only pure. blood

SUFFRAGISTS SEE
EASY SAILING"
Think 1t Will Be Easy to Win
Since Parties Endorsed
Plank

Pennsylvania suffragists expect a
comparatively easy task in convincing
political leaders of both the Republican
and Democratic parties that they should
endorse suffrage for women when the
1917 Legislature meets, declared Mrs
J. o. Miller, of Pittsburgh acting State
chairman. following the morning ses-
sion OF the State executive board of the
Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion at the State headquarters here to-
day.
Now that the Republican party in
national convention has put itself on
record as favoring votes for women
each state acting for itself--and since
the Democratic national convention is
expected to go the Republicans one
better by favoring a national amend
ment, we believe that we will have lit
tie trouble winning our cause in Penn
sylVana." declared Mrs. Miller. Our
big difficulty with the leaders in the
past has been their declaration that
their party was not for it, and now
that this objection is met, we feel that
victory will he ours both in 1917 and
1919, when we come before the Legisla-
ture with our amendment.
1--WE will devote our energies to elect
ing men to the Legislature who will be
unqualifiedly In favor of a suffrage
amendment" concluded Mrs. Miller.
