Realize that Catarrh Is dan
gerous. Face the truth square
ly that it can cause death-but
you can be relieved.
See what Mrs. Henry Waye,
r. F. D. No. /, Wentzville, Mo-,
says about how she was re-
lieved of Catarrh through the
use of S. S. S.
81 am glad to say that |
have never needed to take any
more medicine, as j have never
had any return of the Catarrh,
thanks to S. S. s. highly rec
ommend it,.
1t is an undoubted fact that
the careless way in which so
many sufferers from Catarrh
regard this troublesome disease
in it's early stages is a promi-
nent reason for its awful raw
ages. If they would take hold
of it when it is nothing more
than a supposed cold in the
head, permanent and lasting
relief would be a simple mat
ter.
You must treat Catarrh seri-
ously. Catarrh is not merely an
inflammation of the tissues of
the head and throat, as the
symptoms of ringing noises in
the ears, mucous dropping
back into the throat, continual
hawking, etc, would seem to
indicate. 1t is a blood disease;
it affects the entire circulation.
Catarrh is due to the pres
ence of Catarrh Germs in the
blood. The liver, kidneys and
bowels frequently become tor
pid and dull in their action and,
instead of carrying off the re-
fuse and waste of the body,
leave it to ferment in the sys-
tenn. This is taken up by the
blood and. through its circula-
ton, distributed to all parts of
the system. These impurities

brace all their aims and demands.
"On the part of the United States,

action would be for the officials to
put themselves in a receptive mood

fer embodying fundamental conces-

Christmas, gladdest Of all ec.le-

with due pomp and ceremony at all
the Catholic churches OF the city yes

mass at ST. Joseph's hospital and
closing with solemn high mass at St
Cecilia's cathedral at II o'clock, all
had the opportunity to observe the
birth OF Christ i'll hitting manner.
In a short sermon at the cathedral,
Archbishop Harty extended congratu-
lations to Father Harrington, rector
of ST. Cecilia's on having on this
Christmas the new and beautiful
structure so nearly completed and to
the congregation on the loyal and
substantial support given him.
Good Works Paramount.

Let us resolve tt initiate Him, that we
may become more and more like Him

Sick and Wounded Prisoners
Will Be Well Taken Care OF

Omaha mothers need have no tear
regarding the treatment OF their sons
in enemy prison camps, assures the
national committee on prisons and
prison labor. Now that American sol
diers are prisoners of war in Ger
many, it is announced that arrange
ments are being completed by the
United States for the care OF these
men. Germany and the allies have
already agreed to the internment IN
Switzerland of the sick and wounded
prisoners captured by either OF the
belligerent3, A similar agreement be-
tween the United States and Germany,
it is said, is quite posslble-and very
probable.
The Swiss commission, recently in
the United States, brought with them
the details OF the Swiss system OF
jnternment and disqualification. Co.
lumbia university, at the request
OF the national committee on prisons
and prison labor, is making these
facts available in a document just
coming off the press. This document

English Experts Perfect
Devices to Find Submarines

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
Stockholm, Dec. 26-Two of the
methods by which the British are ef-
fectively fighting the German subma-
rine are by the use of new micro
phone detectors and explosive bombs
OF enormous power, according to a
writer in the Tidningen, an authority
on technical information.
English experts have lately so per-
fected the use OF the mlcrophone on
antiSubmarine vessels, says the
writer, that they are able to steer
accurately and automatically down on
the submarine, while formerly they
were unable to locate a vessel be-
cath the surface. The microphones
are placed below the water close to
the keel OF the vessel. and answer
the same purpose as the microphones
OF telephone. By listening to the
beat Of the submarines propeller they
can determine the exact locat on of
the enemy and attack him before he
has the slightest idea of what is hap
pening
The detection instruments used with
the mcrophones are very complex.
One of them shows the distance OF
the submarine on a graduated scale,
the Indicator responding electrically
to the sound from the submarines
propellors. The variations of distance
are shown with marvellous accuracy.
Another device shows whether the
enemy is on the port or Starboard
side. The electro magnet hand moves
to the side on which the sound is
loudest and the ship is guided &C
cordlngly.
When the proper spot is reached
bombs are dropped in the same man
ner as from airplanes. Their under
water force is so great that they can
destroy a submarine $50 feet from
the point of explosion.

that it would cost them two bucks" )"
to hear Mr.. Wilson at the Brandeis.
Gertrude Hoffman, was also dining
and scarcely had Mr.. Wilson's ap-
plause died down, when eight young
women danced in and up the long
aisleS between the long tables and
on to the stage The eight young
women were expert dancers, members
OF Miss Hofmanns company, play
ing at the Orpheun.
.After they had danced, Miss Hotf
mann, herself, appeared at the door.
She wore heavy yellow plaid suit
and carried tiny handbag She did
not have her stage costume in the
handbag, but she responded to the
call of the boys and went up and
danced for them.
At the end of her dance she was
presented with two big toquets by
two of the smallest newsboys at the
banquet. And what did Gertrude do
but kiss both of them, to the great
amusement and yells and cheers Of
the other 1913. (The same two boquets.
only about half an hour before, had
been presented by the newsboys to
their hosts, Mike and Tony.)
Never in the history of the Omaha
newsboys has there been such a
Christmas dinner as this" exclaimed

Jetferis Makes Hit.
Between the eats and the enter
tainment there were several orators
who gave the boys good advice. A.
w. Jefferis was there in a long-tailed
coat and had fine brand OF oratory
with him that just suited the street
merchants. The boys looked little
doubtful at first. when he told them
they were disseminators OF informa-
ton, but they soon decided he was
all right and interrupted some Of his
patriotic remarks by applause. He
made most decided hit with the
young newsies.
Billy" Kierstcad and Rome Miller,
both OF whom were once newsboys,
made inspiring speeches. So did
Judge Cooley.
Paul Ellsworth, Walter Hoye and
some other newsboys did some ANA

sionals arrived. Leo Rosenthal pro-
vided flags, which were distributed
