CATARRH MUST
Be CURED!

Inc most common mistake
made In the treatment of Catarrh
is in directing all effort toward the
symptoms. rather than the source
of the disease. The inflammation
of the membranes in the nose and
air passages causing the head to
become stopped up. and making
it difficult to breathe, is but an In
dication of the disease. In other
words, this is not the disease it.
self, but natures method of in
forming the victim that he has
been attacked. You may treat
Catarrh all your life with sprays,
atomizers, douches and similar To-
cal applications. and you will
never be really rid of the disease.
The burning question. then, is
How Can | Get Rid of Catarrh3''
You have doubtless used numbers
of local remedies. and like every
other sufferer you have found out
that they are nothing but make
shifts and do you no permanent
good. S. S. S. has proven highly
successful in the treatment of Ca
tarrh because the real seat of the
disease is in the blood, and there
is no disorder of the blood which
does not promptly yield to this
great vegetable remedy.
5: S. S. goes direct to the seat
OF the disease, and routs out from
the blood every vestige of impur-
ity. No disorder of the blood can
remain in competition with S. S. S.
1t simply eradicates and eliminates
every germ of Catarrh from the
blood. after which the irritated
mucous membranes promptly heal
and the sufferer once more enjoys
perfect freedom from this annoy
ing disease.
Our medical department will
gladly give you all necessary In
formation about the treatment of
your own individual case, for
which. no charge will be made.

TO REAP RICH HARVEST
Disgruntled Waiter Mixes with High
brows and Forms Union.

Here is the inside story Of the strike
of the hotel cooks:
Paul .Cavanagh, former waiter at the
Raleigh, worked in Washington in days
gone by. but has been in New York
lately. and things were breaking rather
badly for him when President. Wilson
broke on relations with Germany.
He read in the papers that the Emer-
gency Peace Federation was making q
hurried trip to Washington to protest
! against war and would pay the fare Of
| all pacifists who cared to make the trip.
The papers mentioned that Mrs. ]. Ser
geant Cram and many other prominent
society women, would be in the party
and that a grand breakfast would be
served at the Raleigh on arrival
"Ah," said Paul. here is luck. For
| once I can sit beside real people and
sneer at my old co-patriots at the
Raleigh"
So Paul hied himself to the depot.
slid into an upper berth above a sleek
pacifist. and awoke in the morning to
hear birds singing and the laughter of
women.
He Eats Breakfast
Meet Mr.. Cavanagh." said the prom
inent delegates to one apother. He
is one OF our most prominent workers
and has left his business to come
down here and help u.s." Paul puffed
out his chest. climbed into a big
Limousine, and rode up to the Raleigh
with the highbrows for breakfast.
The walters dropped their jaws
when they saw their old friend Paul,
chatting with grand danes and put
ting manY airs tho first
retary of a legation.
MY friends" said Paul later, as a
brilliant idea came to him over a
friendly stein. II am SO glad to be
back among you don't want to leave
Why should I not organize a union of
hotel cooks? ! know how the cooks
union in New York Is run, and you
boys are not paid half what you are
worth"
"Strike," Say Friends.
There was a shout of approval and
a pounding of stems.
And it's a fine time now to threaten
strike" chorused his friends. We can
pay you a good salary and make you
our walking delegate for life"
So Paul deserted his peace friends and
organized the Federation of Culin-
ary and Alimentary Syndicate" in an
upper room at Bernhardts place, New
York avenue and Eleventh street. later
transferring headquarters to Socialist
Hall, az s11 f street. where a red neck
tie won him a welcome.
Yesterday the chefs of six big hotels

WILL CHECK AUTOS
DURING Inaugural.
Owners May Leave Cars in Safety
and View Parade.
heck your automobile, sir!"

Check your automobile, sir!"
This will be a rather unusual cry on
Inauguration day because Of arrange
ments which have been made whereby
owners of motor cars can have them
checked and guarded at number Of
points convenient to the line Of march
and to all grandstands.
Each car owner on arriving at a station
will be issued a check in duplicate for
his car. and when leaving he must pre-
sent the check to one of the men in
charge, who will thereupon pass him
through the lines. No car will be deliv-
cred without corresponding check.
Checking stations will be located at the
following points:
Eighth street, between E and F streets
northwest.
Thirteenth street. e to F, g to H and
Fl to streets.
Vermont avenue. H to 1 streets.
Sixteenth street, H to 1 streets

Make Shift Remedies Are
Absolutely Worthless.

Don't think lightly of Catarrh.
Do not make the mistake of be-
ieving that it is merely an aggra-
waited bad cold. True. this trouble
usually starts with what is ap-
parently a cold in the head, but
beware of any cold that hangs
on" You may as we'll realize at
the outset that Catarrh is a serious
disease and one that should not be
trifled with. In fact, in many in
stances it is forerunner of the
most dreaded of all diseases
consumption.
Catarrh has become almost a
universal ailment among the
American people. Almost every
where. in theaters. cars, and on
the Streets there is a constant
snivihng and hawking, for there
is bound to be some one in almost
every place who is afflicted with
catarrh. And every one is a pos
sible victim. for the germs of the
disease are easily communicated
from zone person to another.
So many people afflicted with
this disease have been unable to
find a cure. although they have
taken many different kinds of
treatment for years. until now
they are almost willing to believe
the disease is incurable. Like
everything else. to find relief from
this disease. the proper treatment
must be resorted to. No other
kind can be expected to do any
good. -'
