Make-Shift Remedies Are
Absolutely Worthless

Don't think likely of Catarrh.
Do not make the mistake of be-
lieving that it is merely an ag-
gravated bad cold. True, this
trouble usually starts with what
is apparently cold in the head,
but beware of any cold that
hangs on" You may as we'll
realize at the outset that Ca
tarrh is a serious disease and one
that should not be trifled with.
In fact, in many instances it is a
forerunner of the most dreaded
of all alldiseases-consumption.
Catarrh has become almost
a universal ailment among the
American people. A I'm o
everywhere, in theatres, cars,
and on the streets there is con-
slant shifting and hawking, for
there is bound to be some one
in almost every place who is
afflicted with catarrh. And
everyone is a possible victim,
for the germs of the disease are
easily communicated from one
person to another.
So many people afflicted with
this disease have been unable to
find cure, although they have
taken many different kinds of
treatment for years, until now
they are almost willing to be-
lieve the disease is incurable.
Like everything else, to find re-
lief from this disease, the proper
treatment must be resorted to.
No other kind can be expected to
do any good.
Read what Mr.. c. F. Venatta
of New Kensington, Pa, has to
say about his Catarrh:
81 have used S. s. S. in my
family and know what IL is,
and have recommended 1t to my
friends. Some years ago I had
Catarrh in my head, and after
using other remedies without
results, which only seemed to
dry up the irritated mucous |
commenced taking S. S. S.,
and after taking a few bottles
l was cured"

'Kerensky Wrongly Reported
as Arrived From Russia

reached Washington last night that
Alexander Kerensky, the picturesque
young chief of the Russian revolu-
tion, who was overthrown by the
Bolshevist element had arrived in
this city from Europe proved to be
unfounded.
There was an inclination in Wash
ington to credit the report not only
on account of its semiofficial origin
but because there has been reason
to believe that Kerensky was on his
way to America from a place in
Northern Europe. At the Russian
Embassy, however, no advices of his
arrival were received, and further
investigation proved the report un-
true.

Two or three minutes use of a del

hair from your face, neck or arms.
This paste is made by mixing some
water with powdered delatone. After
the paste is removed, the skin should
be washed to free it from the re-
naming delatone and it will be clear
and spotless. You will not be dis
appointed with this treatment if
you are sure to obtain real delatone
from your druggist.
