WHY CATARRH
 ALWAYS COMES WITH WINDY WEATHER

arise, gradually it spreads, until the membrane is almost worthless. Then we learn the fault is with the blood. There is too much work for the cor puscles to do.-Not enough to do it. They need help.
 Placing salves and lotions in the nose and taking pills, powders and purgatiyes will not give nature what she needs. She changes the chemical nature of many drugs that we take, ac- cording to our body's condition. She will not change those things she lacks and needs. Certain vegetable matter taken into the system gives nature her tools. Armed with the power to protect herself and heal herself, na- ture gladly hurries the new vegetable reinforcement to the injured parts, and we at once feel as though a great strain had been lifted from us.
 Nature, during winter, changes the blood of man and we, because of our habits, continue to do those things which are against nature. Then far down amid the vital organs of man, creep weaknesses and lack of proper functioning Here is where Catarrh enters and quickly makes conquest. We feel the effect of cold in nose or throat and sometimes in lungs and stomach. S. S. s. is friend to nature, a companion to health, and the body responds to it's influence in way that will surprise you. So quickly and quietly is the journey made toward health, that we know, because we feel it, that S. s. s. contains the vegetable ingredients that nature herself would choose if she were able to make her own selection.
 s. s. s. goes into the body like food. It mixes with the blood: seeks every where fer disease germs and the body it made glad with natures own rem edy.
 s. s. s. is sold wherever drugs are sold
 Go to your druggist, buy bottle of s. s. $. and learn for yourself what the proper assistance will do for your Catarrh. s. s. s. is that assistance buy bottle today.
 Write the Medical Department rel ative to your Catarrh CT any other blood disorder, and competent phy- sician will give you full advice, with out charge. Address Swift Specific Company, Drawer 1t. Atlanta, Georgia.

Nature Gives a Cry for Help That Will Make This Win ter a Season of Good
 Health for You

Winter and Catarrh are com panions in evil. Catarrh Is sweeping civilization from one continent to another, because civilization does not follow Natures laws. Nature tells us what to do and we pay no heed.
 Down deep in the body of man lie streams of blood, go- ing everywhere and making a complete circuit of the body every few seconds. In these rivers, brooks and streamlets of blood flow millions of little soldiers called corpuscle $ whose duty it is to heal hurts, expel the enemies of man germs-from the body and carry away impurities.
 Nature, with the blood, builds bone and hair and teeth and flesh. She does this so quickly and wit1 such absolute perfec- tion th if we put into our mouth and stomachs the thing he body needs, nature will till her own chemicals a4 Id up any torn-down p

These membranes cannot do their work They become clogged, Impurities form and choke them. Decay starts. unpleasant .odors

 Former Manager

 The defense based it's argument on a self defense plea, asserting that the evidence had shown that Shay was at tackled before he shot the negro.

Being so young, there were pa
rental objections from his family and
hers. They decided they would come
to New York and be married here. So
they started on what developed into a
panhandle honeymoon. They stopped
an autoist on the road near st. Johns
willie and begged a ride. When he ar
rived at his destination another auto
mobile took them in. All the way to
New York they came this way.
But when they got to New York
there wasn't sufficient money for the
license and the modest fee for the
clergyman-not II young love was to
eat.
There was Z cents left in Young
