II is not known whether the follow

or by foreign student OF Germanism.

military masters Of Germany have
acted upon this creed, and the German

they shall inherit the earth; but I say
unto you, Blessed are the valiant, fof
they shall make the earth their throne
And We have heard men say, Blessed

you, Blessed are the great in soul and

WHY CATARRH
ALWAYS COMES
With windy WINTER

the chemical nature of many drugs
that we take, according to our
body's condition. She will not
change those things she lacks and
needs. Certain vegetable matter
taken into the system gives nature
her tools. Armed with the power
to protect herself and heal herself,
nature gladly hurries the new veg
etable reinforcement to the injured
parts, and we at once feel as
though a great strain had been
lifted from US.
Nature, during winter, changes
the blood of man and we, because
OF our habits, continue to do those
things which are against nature.
Then far down amid the vital or
gans of man, creep weaknesses
and lack of proper functioning.
Here is where Catarrh enters and
quickly makes a conquest. We feel
the effect of a cold in nose or
throat, and sometimes in lungs
and stomach. S. S. S. is a friend
TO nature, a companion to health,
and the body responds to its in
fluence in a way that will surprise
you. So quickly and quietly is
the journey made toward health,
that we know, because we feel it,
that 5. S. S. contains the vege-
table ingredients that nature her
self would choose if she were able
to make her own selection.
5. S. S. goes into the body like
food. 1t mikes with the blood;
seeks everywhere for disease
germs and the body is made glad
with natures own remedy.
5. S. S. is sold wherever drugs
are sold.
Go to your druggist, buy a bot
tic of S. S. S. and learn for YOUR
self what the proper assistance
will do for your Catarrh. S. S. S.
is that assistance-Buy a bottle

WOMEN PROTEST WAGE
SCALE ON NAVY WORK
Committee Charges Discrimination
in Classification of Skilled Workers.

Health and wage conditions af-
fecting women employed in the navy
yards and factories throughout the
country were the subject of con-
ference yesterday afternoon be-
tween Secretary Daniels, Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt and a commit
tee representing the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees.
The committee protested to the
Secretary against the rating of
women seamstresses and flag max
crs at the pay of common labor. 1t
was stated that sewing is a skilled
trade and none of the ratings for
skilled trades occupied by men are
as low as the ratings for seam
stresses and flag-makers. Inspec-
tresses, the committee then pointed
out, are rated on the navy wage
schedule as general helpers. while
they should be ranked as special
lists. Men doing inspection work. it
was stated. are classed as skilled
workers. The protests of the COM
mittee were based upon the findings
of Investigators versed in the sew
ing trade.
The committee also asked that a
woman be appointed on the Navy
Wage Board. renewing the request
made by the delegates to the con-
ference of trade union women held
in October under the auspices of
the Labor Department
recommendation was also made
that the home work system be abol-
ished since it carried hardships and
underpayment for the workers and
danger to the health OF the sailors
wearing the garments.
The questions presented by the
committee will be taken under i'm
mediate consideration by Secretary
Daniels and Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt.

MORE FREEDOM GIVEN
TO CORRESPONDENTS
British Remove Restraint from
American Writers.

The Navy Department hears from
London that Lieut.. Commander
George Barr Baker has succeeded IN
effecting increased facilities for the
transmission of newspaper dispatches
from American correspondents IN
France.
On October the chief cable censor
in London issued an order directing
that messages from American corre-
,spondents addressed to the United
States direct and dealing exclusively
with the American forces should not
be further censored or diverted to the
press bureau in London. Commander
Baker now reports that a new order
directs that all messages from Ameri-
can correspondents in France address,
ed to the United states direct and
bearing the pass word of the field
censors shall be transmitted without
further Censoring.
The amended order permits corre-
spondents to write dispatches con-
cerning American troops brigaded
with the French or British, or con-
cerning French or British troops op-
Grating alone, for direct transmission
to the United States.

Nature Gives a Cry for Help, That
Will Make This Winter a Season
of Good Health for You.

Winter and Catarrh arc COM
yanions in evil Catarrh is sweep
ing civilization from one conti-
nent to another, because civiliza-
ton does not follow Nature
laws. Nature tells us what to do
and We pay no heed.
Down deep in the body OF man
lie streams OF blood, going every
where and making a complete cir
cult Of the body every few sec
onds. In these rivers, brooks and
streamlets OF blood flow millions
of little soldiers called corpuscIes,
whose duty it is to heal hurts, ex-
pei the enemies OF man-germs-
from the body and carry away i'm
purities.
Nature, with the blood, builds
bone and hair and teeth and flesh.
She does this so quickly and with
such absolute perfection that if we
put into our mouths and stomachs
the things the body needs, nature
will distill her own chemicals and
build up any torn-down portions.
Catarrh is a tearing down OF mu-
-ous membranes. A mucous MEM
brsne is one OF the wonders of
science. 1t docs the important
work OF the body in some lines.
When it becomes diseased, you
quickly have the alarm from ma
ture. Catarrh, in most cases, first
warns US from a condition of the
1ose and throat. These mem
oranes cannot do their work. They
become clogged. Impurities form
and choke them. Decay starts, un-
pleasant odors arise, gradually it
spreads until the membrane is al
most worthless. Then we learn
he fault is with the blood. There

WORKERS ENJOY FIRST
SUNDAY In l8 MONTHS
Navy Yard Employees Profit by Cut
in Overtime.

Tie Navy Yard employees will have
their first Sunday at home today in Is
months. An order has been isued by
Secretary Daniels, effective today,
abolishing Sunday work at the Navy
Yard. Extra and overtime work will
be dispensed with as much as pos
sible.
The past week was the first week OF
the new increased wage schedule
Virtually all the men in the shipbuild-
ing trades at the yard enjoy this
raise. The advance, an official of the
Navy Yard stated last night, will
mean an increase of from 10 to 20 per
cent in the wages of the shipbuilders
al the various yards.
Rumors that the mechanics and
trade workers were abandoning their
work to return to former Jobs pre-
mature announcement of the sur
render of Germany was made were
denied last night. 1t was stated the
work at the Navy Yard would not be
materially affected by the signing of
