A Mouth of Corruption

Catarrh is the One Disease that is not imagination. The hawking, spit ting, sneezing, wheezing, snuffing blowing and gagging are not habit these distressing and offensive efforts to gain relief are not stopped by a . mere command of the mind. No amount of will power, however determined. can
 1t requires help to overcome a dis ease that although local in character may and often does permeate the en- tire system For although you know you have Catarrh you do not know how badly you have it. You may have what you believe is only Nasal Catarrh, but even so, it is threat to your gen.
 Here is a sensible rational, home self-treatment, just as effective. just as searching, just as penetrating. as cleansing, as purifying as could pc had from any source. even If you paid \ hundred times nN much.
 4 nose that dribbles with mucus is an indication of disease. A breath tainted with the odor of Catarrh is an offcnse against all health and decency A stomach filled with dropplngs frcT diseased nasal cavities may cause un- told misery The bowels clogged with strings of rary mucus indicates body literally rocking with Catarrh.
 The blood. swarming with millions of Catarrh germs, entails upon the kid neys a labor that may break them down; the lungs and bronchial tubes scourged with the destructive influence of systemic catarrh, can lead to the most serious consequences.

 And let me tell you something, my
 dear lady, Major Parker continued 'Ir any man ever tells you that he goes through war unafraid-why you can put him down as a."
 Liar" I supplied. Say it; don't
 mind; I'm used to most any old thing" T shall never forget once when I thought I was just as good as dead ' Major Parker said. We had stacked our kits and turned our bayonets to- ward the enemy, which the soldier does when things are over for the day We were gathered about making soup, over little charcoal arrangement, when suddenly great noise was heard and a huge onslaughter on the soup, splash ing and steaming in all directions, told us of imminent danger. We grabbed our bayonets and before we knew it--well--I remember a big, burly German being right in front of me and he didn't even take time to get his gun to his shoulder,
 but fired it on his hip; there was a sick feeling in my stomach and hot water
 boiling up in my mouth, and I knew l was just as good as dead. But what do you think happened? The bullet only grazed me under the arm and left a piece of flesh hanging like a cord.'' Tt took four shots at me to finally put me out" Major Parker said, looking at his disabled hand, land after the blow came the first thing I remember was be- li ing carried down the line on stretcher and having some nice hot tea, which tasted awfully good. They always give the wounded men (unless they are wounded in the stomach) tea or soup or something warm and nourishing They carried me on to Vemmertinghe, then to Ballieul, then to Cologne, where stayed for five months in hospital and then 1 they took me to London.

 kindness and just holding on to the thin ! thread of my life-I'd have been dead and

A TRIAL TREATMENT

There is absolutely no other way to overcome Catarrh except by home self treatment You have positively got to apply the treatment yourself. With this important fact in mind. C. E. Gauss, of Marshall, Mich. has perfected the most remarkable com bination treatment ever, discovered. Having cured completely hundreds of his friends, neighbors and others, he now offers to send free to all trial treatment direct to your home. It IS enough of treatment to convince. It gives positive relief. You realize the relief. You are conscious of It. This is one of the most important discover fes ever made, for 1t is a fact that nine people in ten have Catarrh, but do not realize how badly they have 1t.

Free Travel Warrants
 Issued to U. s. Officers

Base American Flotilla in British Wa ters October -(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-Free travel warrants new being issued to American officers and men as the result of an arrangement between the British and American gov- ernments. This free transportation en- ables the Americans to travel by rail and water from their base here through Ire land over to England. and Scotland and back again within their allotted time of leave. usually 10 days It is extending to the American a privilege long since enjoyed by the British soldiers and sail- ors.
 This free transportation will prove a great boon to the American bluejacket with his love for travel and it will lot be many days before he will be seen in all parts of the United Kingdom. Men from the destroyers that have touched at English ports for refit have already been granted leave to visit London and other places of interest.
 While London Is the objective of near ly all officers and men, many go to the most obscure little hamets. Still oth- CTS profit by their presence in the Brit
 sh Isles to visit relatives and friends they never expected to see. For example,
 the high percentage of Irish ancentry in the American navy has brought blue- jackets to. the homes of their grandfath- CTS and Erandmothers in almost every section of tho Emerald Isle These are found in the big cities of Dublin. Belfast and Cork as well as in the smaller places like Limerick, on the River Shannon, Tipperary. Galway and . score of others moro or less well known to the Ameri- can reader.
 Blarney Castle and the lakes of Kil- larney with their. countless fascinating traditions have already proved favorite points of interest to the travel-loving bluejackets Hundreds of them have
 kissed the Blarney stone. Suspension in midair by rope from an insecure
 battlement 130 feet high has no terrors for sailor. There are no other tourists nowadays.

 through the famous Gap of Dunloe the sailor gives the old ponies surprise by making them gallop along marrow
 mountain trails at a pace that astonishes

Mitchell for Mayor Why Notp

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | have read pretty well all that has
been said or written in respect to the election
Of Mayor for New York. have, moreover,
watched the conduct of Mr.. Mitchell during
the four years Of his Mayoralty, and have
come to the conclusion that the most sensible
thing for the constituency to do would be TO
reelect him as Mayor of New York City for
further term of four years. Our motto
should be LET Well Enough Alone"
As to Hylan, the fact that he is the
nominee of Murphy. the Tammany Hall boss,
should be sufficient to exclude him entirely.
A man who cannot make a speech in public
without reading it. is not fit to fill the Office
of Mayor.
I read a recent speech Of Hylan's, in the
conclusion of which he characterized Mitchel's
term of Office as the most disgraceful, etc,
New York had ever had. And this in the face
of men like Taft, Hughes, Roosevelt, ETC.,
having declared him to have been the best
Mayor New York had ever had
As to Benefits having carried the pri-
maries, that does not amount TO much.
Crowds of voters are too often careless about
registering. They are sure to vote right on
Election Day, which l have not a shadow of
doubt will result in the triumphant election
of Mr.. Mitchell. j. II.

Socialists Hampering the Loan

Sir: One of the most dastardly and
despicable attempts to knife our country in

of the Socialist party. | refer to the boy
colt of the second Liberty Loan being made
by some unions affiliated with and dominated
by the Socialist party.
Mr. Hillquit the Socialist candidate for

solutely going against the laws passed by
the present Administration. He has gone on
record as opposing the war, consumption, the
Liberty Loan and numerous other acts passed
by Congress He has Influenced other peo-
pie from aiding the government. But, aside
from all of his other un-American and there
fore pro-German acts, one stands out

erty bonds.
Every one knows as we'll as | do that Mr..
Hillquit is a petty capitalist. His resources
are far beyond the incomes of his followers
And still this man refuses to back the gov
eminent Of which he is striving to be

of the greatest city in the world-such b
man wants this great metropolis to elecv

rigid investigation into the matter will

that his Duchess County Association made
