WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness
Of the body; and local treatments in
the form Of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat Its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food In Scott's Emulsion which is
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
fromalcohol or any harmfuldrugs. Tryit.

No PROSPECT Of settlement.


London. Dec. 13.-In review Of the
Russian situation the Posts correspon-
dent at Petograd says there is no pros
pect Of a peaceful settlement. The Sc
cret Of the successes OF the bolsheviki
is that they represent the iron hand.
What is behind them Is as yet un-
disclosed but among influential mem-
bers OF the organization were men who
were prominent in the secret police of
Russia who ,once ruled the country.
Referring to Siberia's declaration Of
independence the. correspondent says
the Siberian troops are being reorgan-
ICED under one of the best known OFF,
GERS. It is reported the Siberians have
declared in favor Of a monarchy. The
correspondent asserts that altho the
stories Of the Cossacks vary they
stand for law, and order. He predicts
that Russia again will present a>front
against the Germans.
Constituent Assembly Adjourns.
The bolsheviki intend to compel
the constituent assembly to be sub
servient to them, says the Petrograd
correspondent to the Times. He quot
ed Prada, the bolsheviki organ, as say
ing:
1.-THE only constituent assembly
which will be recognized by the SOL
diers. workmen and peasants is that
which will give them peace, bread and
land
The correspondent adds that the con-
stituent assembly now stands ad-
journed indefinitely.
