 There is a more serious stage of Catarrh than the annoyance caused by the stopped-up air passages, and the hawking and splitting and other distasteful features.
 The real danger comes from the tendency of the disease to continue it's course downward until the lungs become affected, and then dreaded consumption is on your path. Your own experience has taught you that the disease cannot be cured by

BRITISH ACETATE
 PROHIBITION FOR
 DURATION OF WAR

LONDON, March :. - Prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquor dur ing the war and for the period of de- mobilization was urged the other day upon Dr. Christopher Addison, Cabi- net Minister, without portfolio in .harge of reconstruction, by a depu- .ation from the Strength of Brit ain" movements.
 Dr.. Addison expressed agreement with many of the arguments advanc- .d by the deputation but reminded hem that whatever might be an ideal measure for the national well being, would not be suited to application. His experience in the Ministry of .Iuni,:ons showed him, he s"id, that 10 make restrictions exceeding the willingness of the, people to whom they were to apply was calculated to agglavate evils which the restrictions aimed to correct.
 Lord D'Aberpor, Chairman of the LiJuor Control Beard, on the same subject said, "It is sincerely hoped that during dHmobilizaUion there will be no relaxations of the regulations now in force. The return to this country of men who will naturally feel themselves entitled to a certain amount of pleasure will create condi- tions wherein excess might burst forth again, and therefore it will be very unwise to adopt relaxation which might create a national disas- ter.
 If the present system of restric- tions m regard to the sale of drink is maintained for a few mouths this country will be able to claim that it has advanced further along the path of temperance reform than any cOun- try in the world"

MORE RAILROAD JOBS
TOBE OPEN TO WOMEN
Pennsylvania Railroad, Losing
Men, Forced to Drop Bars in
Several Departments

There will be women in nearly every de-
partment OF work on the Pennsylvania Rail
road before long. according to statements by
officials today More than 5000 men have
been taken from their posts by the war; and
women must replace them
1t is said that the Pennsylvania Railroad
has been especially opposed to the encroach-
ments of women In purely masculine fields
Women at the soda fountain was an easy
step to take. and likewise women at the
cigar stands and women ticket agents
Then came women craftsmen, and now it
10 said that there will be women employed
in any position where the shortage of men
makes 1t imperative.
The general verdict is that there is really
not much difference in women or men en-
ployed at the same job. In some respects a
woman is better in given line. and vice
versa. 1t is predicted that in a very short
time passengers travelling on the PennsyIva-
MIA will not even remark on the fact that
women take their fare. give the informat ion
and can be mending the tracks

The Fly in the Ointment

TN AUGUST Father Duff died. Miss Flora
l. came home at once. James Blaisdell was
already in town. Hattie was at the noun
tains. She wrote that she could not think
ordered an expensive wreath. Frank and
Jane were in the Far West, and could not
possibly have arrived in time, anyway. None
of the young people came.
Mr.. Smith helped in every way that he
could help and Miss Maggie told him that
he was a. great comfort, and that she
did not know what she would have done
without him. Miss Flora and Mrs James
Blaisdell helped. too, in every way possible.
and at last the first hard, sad days were
over and the household settled back into
something like normal conditions again.
Miss Maggie had more time now and she
went often to drive or for motor rides with
Mr. Smith. Together they explored ceme-
teries for miles around; and although Miss
Maggie worried sometimes because they
found so little Blaisdel data. Mr.. Smith did
not seem to mind it at ALL
In September Miss Flora moved into an
attractive house on the West Side bought
some new furniture and installed a maid
kindly supervision. In September. too
Frank and Jane Blaisdell came home, and
the young people began to prepare for the
coming school year.
Mr.. Smith met Mrs. Hattie one day coming
out of Miss Magge's gate. She smiled and
greeted him cordially. but she looked so
palpably upset over something that he
claimed to Miss Maggie as soon as he entered
the house What was It? Is anything the
matter with Mrs. James Blaisdell?"
Miss Maggie smied-but she frowned
too.

"Oh, where she's been this summer she's

hundred dollar gowns Poor Hattie! If she
only would stop trying to live like anybody

But thought thought this money was
making them happy" stammered Mr. Smith.
1T was-until she realized that somebody
else had more" sighed Miss Maggie with a
shake of her head.
"oh, well, she'll get over that"
Perhaps"
AT any rate. it's brought her husband
some comfort"
"Y-yes. it has; but"
What do you mean by that?" he de-
manded when she did not finish her SEN
