called me to him and told me always
to be honest under all circumstances.
Father was a noble man."

Mrs. Bowser. "That is, If a man in

great effort in that direction"
Mr.. Bowser felt that he had been
hit again. but, as Mrs. Bowser could
prove nothing, he let 1t 50 and on

"There are many things to make me
sad. I was reviewing the long list Of
my friends and l found that a good

our hired man. 1t was hard to wake
him up in the morning, but he had a
noble heart In him. He gave me good
advice. He warned me never to
gamble.
1.-THE trees die, the bushes die, the
plants and flowers die-everything
dies. Mrs. Bowser, do you realize
that you have got to die some dayT
"Why, Of course" she replied, but
there was no sadness in her tone.

/. MARRIAGE IS Legal
Mrs. William Stokes Sammons Wins
Point in Divorce Case.

The second marriage OF William
Stokes sammons, q window shade
manufacturer Of this city, despite the
fact that ordinarily under the statutes
he was illegally married. is legal, ac-
cording to an opinion signed yester-
day by Justice Siddons, before whom
the first phase OF the suit for absolute
divorce filed by Sammon's second wife,
Agnes Z. Sammons, regarding the
validity of that marriage was heard.
In his answer to his wife's suit Tor
absolute divorce, Sammons contendcd
that his wife, Agnes e. sammons.
was not his legal wife, because he
was divorced under circumstances
which prevented his remarriage.
Therefore, Sammons insisted that his
second wife could not legally bring
suit against him.
In 1906, says Sammons, he married
Nora F. Rudlett in Baltimore. In 1908
she got an absolute divorce from him
here. At the time OF his marriage to
his present wife, October, 1910. he was
ignorant, he declared. OF the prohiDi-
ton of the District law against the
remarriage in the District OF the
guilty party in absolute divorce pro-

Gently, he stated, that the nature OF
the decree renders his second mar

the people run it and not muss it

Dugan testified that Ohio was

the lack OF cars had held back mine
production. Wallace Crosley, lieu

S. S. S. Has Proven to Be a Blood
Purifier That VIII Cleanse the
Vital Fluid and Garry of
the Impurities.

The very fact that Catarrh is
often considered to be nothing
more than a bad head-cold or in
flammation of the membranes OF
the nose and throat has caused
many people to go through years
of suffering, who might have been
fully restored to health had they
realized that the supposed cold in
the head was not a local trouble
only, but that they had become
infected with the germs of COM
plicated and dangerous disease.
II is. true that Catarrh usually
begins with a cold in the head,
and this supposed cold may have
been caused by infection through
proximity to infected persons in a
closed street car or room, inhal-
ing the germs when someone
coughed or sneezed; but, however
the infection occurs, the poisons
which are taken into your system,
ultimately find their way into
your blood and the supposed cold
becomes a constitutional trouble
that will affect every part of your
body. The poisoned blood circu-
lating through your system will
carry these germs to the very
source of your vitality.
Look out for these symptoms
for there is no more annoying or
dangerous disease than Catarrh.
There's a continual discharge from
the nostrils, buzzing in the ears
that grows worse and worse,
sometimes leading to deafness,
