 NOT INCURABLE

it's symptoms will disappear. Catarrh manifests itself by in- flammation of the delicate membranes of the nose and air passages, which choke up and make breathing very difficult. To get rid of these distressing effects you must remove their cause.
 The blood is laden with the Catarrh germs, which direct their attack against the tender and delicate membranes of the nose and throat. These germs cannot be reached by sprays or douches, which, of course, have no effect whatever upon the blood.
 s. s. s. is purely vegetable blood remedy, made from roots and herbs direct from the for est, which combat promptly any disease germs or impuri- ties in the blood. This great remedy has been used for more than fifty years, with most sat- isfactory results. It has been successfully used by those af- flicted with even the severest cases of Catarrh, because it drives out from the blood the Catarrh germs, and eliminates every foreign substance from the blood. s. s. s. is sold by druggists everywhere.
 For the benefit of those af- flicted with Catarrh or other blood diseases, we maintain a medical department in charge of a specialist skilled in these diseases. If you will write us fully, he will give your case careful study, and write you just what your own individual case requires. No charge is made for this service.

GREAT SPORT CARD

Boxing and Wrestling to Feature Tourney Over at
 Athletic Club

Nearly everybody loves a good fight. 1t is certain that all red-blooded men enjoy clean, fast boxing. The manly art of self-defense has many devotees here who are hungry for bit of the old game, since their appetities were whet- ted a month or so ago by the mitt tour nament over at the club. Professional fighters have been accused of laying down" in some cases, and doubtless this charge was justified, but so far no one has even intimated that soldier fighters .|stall'' when they meet in the squared arena. But more to the point.
 Soldier grapplers and wrestlers who will soon be lover there" will make their last appearance in Birmingham Saturday night at the southern wrestling cham pionship, under the auspices of the Bir- mingham Athletic club. Mel Myers, southern amateur lightweight boxer in 1916, will battle Spike Webb, boxing in- structor at Camp Mcclellan. in an eight round fistic engagement. Chairman Dill Streit, who is in charge of the mitt tourney, will turn over the proceeds of the tournament to Camp McClellan's athletic funds, a cause which all of the real sportsmen in Birmingham should heartily contribute to.
 Bill Streit is going to bring only the best grapplers in the south to the tour- ney. New Orleans will send Lum, pres

1 Experiments with "bushers' in the southland training camps this spring have delighted big league club owners and managers. The percentage Of youngsters who have shown major league ability is greater than for many years. lit is likely that at least 35 of the rook- ies harvested last fall probably will be- come permanent big league fixtures.
 Each clubhas been fortunate in garner- ing at laasr one outstanding youngster, while some have been lucky enough to have snared three and four kids who have the "tig league look"
 Among the finds is Ross Young, an outfielder, secured by the Giants. The youngster made great record in the top notch minors last season. In the Marlin camp of the New York club and also during exhibition games, he dis played great all-around ability, and John McGraw is confident that he will fill the vacant shoes of Dave Robertson.
 Erickson, who won s1 games in. the Pacific Coast last season pitched in great form in the Timers training camp. A catcher named Coob--no relation to the mighty Tyrus C.--is another who mas gladdened the heart of Hughie Jennings.
 Great things are expected of Pitcher Thornmahlan, whom the Yankees pur- chasd from the International league late in 1917. He assembled an imposing rec ord in the minors and his work in the preliminarias has been surprisingly good. Wick, an .outfielder, looks like another worth while" youngster.
 George Stallings, in an effort to build up his shattered Braves, gave consider able attention to his youngsters this year. He probably will retain four or five. P2cher Bunny Hearne, secured from Toronto is one. He had big league trial sometime ago, but was sent back for more seasoning, Donovan, se- cured from the Eastern league; Crum, the star hurler of the New London (Conn.) team of 1917, and Scott who starred in the box in the Southern league, are three other pitchers who have pleased Stallings.

BUT YOU CAN'T RELY ON SPRAYS AND
 INHALERS

There is no use permitting yourself to be deceived. Per- haps, like thousands of others afflicted with Catarrh, you are about ready to believe that the disease is incurable, and that you are doomed to spend the remainder of your days hawk ing and splitting, with no relief in sight from inflamed and stopped-up air passages that make the days miserable and the nights sleepless.
 Of course, this all depends upon whether or not you are willing to continue the old time, makeshift methods of treatment that you and many other sufferers have used for years with no substantial re- suits. If you are still content to depend upon the use of sprays, douches, inhalers, jel- lies and other like remedies by themselves, that are applied to the surface and cannot reach below it, then make up your mind now that your Catarrh will remain a life companion and will follow you to the grave.
 You must realize that the disease itself, and not its symp- toms, is what you have to cure. Of course, you know that when you, are cured of any disease
