ISOLATION Opposed to Woman Suffrage
takes place here today in their head
quarters at 1921 X street northwest.

Why Catarrh
Always Comes
With WindyWinter

Placing SalveS and lotions in
the nose, and taking pills, pow
ders and purgatives will not give
nature what she needs. She
changes the chemical nature of
many drugs that we take, accord
ing to our body's condition. She
will not change those things she
lacks and needs. Certain vege-
table matter taken into the sys-
tenn gives nature her tools. Armed
with the power to protect herself
and heal herself, nature gladly
hurries the new vegetable rein
forcement 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 weak
nesses and lack of proper func-
tioning. Here is where Catarrh
enters and quickly makes a con-
quest. We feel the effect of a
cold in nose or throat, and some
times in lungs and stomach. S.
5. S. is a friend to nature, a
companion to health, and the
body responds to its 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
5. 5. S. contains the vegetable
ingredients that nature herself
would choose if she were able to
make her own selection.
). 5. 5. goes into the body
like food. 1t mixes with the
blood; seeks everywhere for dis
ease germs and the body is made
glad with natures own remedy.
5. 5; s. is sold wherever drugs
are sold.
Go to your druggist, buy a bot
tie of S. S. S. and learn for your
self what the proper assistance
will do for your Catarrh. S. S. S.
Is that assistance-Buy a bottle

GOVERNORS ACTION
CAUSES Comment
Senator Sutherland Takes Issue
with Mccall Regarding Negro.

Surprise was uttered Yesterday by
Senator Sutherland. of West Virginia,
at the action of Gov. Mccall, of Mas
sachusetts, in refusing to extradite to
West Virginia, John johnson, the
negro wanted there for a criminal
charge.
Il do not wish to criticise Gov. Nc
Call" said Senator Sutherland. But
his action must certainly have been
based upon transformation. The idea
that johnson could not get a fair
trial is unwarranted. Such n senti-
ment as Gov. Mccall indicates. does
not exist in West Virginia. do not
know that the governor was told by
the man he sent to investigate But
he must have, as l say. received mis-
information.
THE other men implicated in the
crime against the 14-year-old girl have
been tried and are in prison. johnson
would have a fair trial. If he were
guilty he would be convicted, and If
not he would be set free"
Senator Goff, the colleague of Mr.
Sutherland. is not here. Senator
Weeks, the only Massachusetts SEN
ator now here, refused to comment
upon the matter.

Nature Gives Cry for Help, that
Will Make This Winter
Season of Good Health
for You.

Winter and Catarrh are COM
panions in evil. Catarrh is sweep
ing civilization from one conti-
nent to another, because civiliza-
ton 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, going every
where and making a complete cir
cult of the body every few sec
onds. In these rivers, brooks and
streamlets of blood flow millions
of little soldiers called corpuscles,
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
boz and hair and teeth and flesh.
She does this so quickly and with
such absolute perfection that if
we put into our mouths and
stomachs the things the body
needs, nature will distill her own
chemicals and build up any torn
down portions.
Catarrh is a tearing down OF
mucous membranes. A mucous
membrane is one of the wonders
OF science. 1t does the important
work of the body in some lines.
Wien it becomes diseased, you
quickly have the alarm from ma
ture. Catarrh, in most cases, first
warns us from a condition of the
nose and throat. These MEM
branes cannot do their work.
They become clogged. Impurities
form and choke them. Decay
starts, unpleasant odors 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 corpuscles to do
Not enough to do it. They need
help.
