CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood dis
ease as scrofnla or rheumatism. 1t
may be relieved, but it cannot be
removed by simply local treatment.
1t breaks down the general health,
weakens the lung tissues, and leads
to consumption.
Hoods SarsapaIilla is so sue
cessful in the treatment Of catarrh
that it is known as the best remedy
for this disease. 1t pnrifes the

HOROSCOPE.
Saturday, July II, 1917.

Astrologers read this as rather a
lucky day, although Jupiter IS
strongly adverse. Venus. Mars and
the Sun are in benefic aspect.
1t is a day in which to push all
business affairs, especially those OF
great Importance and those that
are dependent on the good will OF
persons of supreme influence.
The influences are good for the
seeking OF positions or appoint
ments of any sort.
The stars that promise much to
those who make serious quest for
employment also seem to fore
shadow many scandals and libel
suits some of which are due to
jealousy.
Women today should be fortu-
nate, for while the planets pres
age tears for them, the indications
are that they will smile through
the tears.
1t is a favorable direction for
soldiers, encouraging recognition
and advancement.
Dinners or meetings at which
social and serious interests COM
bine are under a most fortunate
government today.
1t is a fairly good rule for places
of amusement, and actors and ac-
tresses should make the most of
their opportunities under this con-
figuration.
Fame in the army will come to
more than one American known in
the theatrical world.
Hotel keepers should ind this a
profitable day. making for much ac-
tivity and many guests.
1t is an auspicious sway for
brief trips and for family reunions.
Warning is given that owing to
reflex influences tendency toward
melancholy and dependency will
be marked in the coming weeks.
London astrologers foresee mis-
understandings between the Unit
ed States and England over mill
tary problems.
Persons whose birthdate it is
will have a reasonably prosper
Gus year. IL they do not travel or
make any business changes.
Children born on this day will
probably be favorites with the op-
posite sex. These subjects of Can
GER with Leo characteristics are
generally fortunate in financial af-
fairs.
