Nothing Asked Now

Morton county's share of the Red
Cross quota in the big Red Cross war
fund drive, May 20 to- q, will be
$4,000, based on a population of
1886. j. T. Nelson of Glen Ullin has
been named county campaign man

raised in the state is 100000. Figuring
on basis of one dollar per capita
Burleigh county has raised more than
her full quota in. both the first and
second war fund drives and for that
reason no apportionment has been
asked from that county in this drive.
In this drive the appOrtiOnment for
Oliver county has been set at 100

ty is estimated at 4,276. In the first

The money that is raised in the Red

STEELTON
STEELWORKERS
IN BIG MEETING
Annual Get-Together Session
Will Be Held Tomorrow
Evening

Employees of the local steel plant
together with thousands of workmen
in all plants of the Bethlehem steel
plant will be asked to sign a patrio-
tic pledge card signifying their will
ingness to do their utmost to achieve
100 per cent. efficiency in individual
operation and N turning out 100 per
cent. of the possible product of the
plant.
This plan of enlisting the support
of every workman in the local plant
will likely result from the annual
"get-together" meeting of superin-
tendent, foremen and safety COM
mitteemen of the local plant to be
held in the High school auditorium
tomorrow evening at 7.so o'clock.
President Eugene Grace, of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation and
Quincy Bent. vice-president, will be
the principal speakers at the meet
ing. President Grace will talk along
safety first lines and will point out
to the men the importance of their
efforts in achieving 100 per cent.
efficiency.
Meetings similar to the one to-
morrow evening are being held in all
the plants of the Bethlehem Com
PoHy. "A meeting OF OInClalS OIL Ine
Lebanon and Reading plants was
held at Lebanon last week. Quincy
Bent was the principal speaker at
this meeting. During his talk, Mr..
Bent in characterizing the industrial
field as the first line" trenches of
the nation. said that the lines runs
from Washington, d. c., and touches
every Industrial center in the coun-
try where munitions of war are be-
ing made. Even now, he said, Fore
River shipyards are waiting for the
rfvets which are to come from the
Reading and Lebanon plants for the
construction of ships to carry cargoes
to France. A decrease of produc-
ton, he further said, hurts the coun-
try and is a thing the nation must
avoid if the war is to be won. He
was greeted with enthusiastic ap-
plause at the conclusion of his ad-
dress which was brief but impressive,
delivered as it was with deep con-
viction.
Other speakers at the meeting will
be DR.. MacGuire, of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, and Douglas Drew,
a Canadian, who was in active serv-
ice at the front for two and a half
years.

settled in Lancaster and Berks coun-

they have fought the induction OF
their sons into military service, re-
fused to purchase Liberty Bonds, war

tutes.
The authorities are making every
effort to capture Seth Yoder, charged
with evading the draft, and who is
said to be in hiding in the valley. The
authorities heard he was in hiding

Traffic in Front street between

CATARRH MUST
Be CURED!

The most common mistake
made in the treatment of Ca
tarrh is in directing all effort
toward the symptoms, rather
than the source of the disease.
The inflammation of the mem
branes in the nose and air pas
sages causing the head to be-
come stopped up, and making
it difficult to breathe, is but an
indication of the disease. In
other words, this is not the
disease itself, but natures
method of informing the vic
tim that he has been attacked.
You may treat Catarrh all your
life with sprays, atomizers,
douches and similar local appli-
cations, and you will never be
really rid of the disease.
The burning question, then,
is "How Can | Get Rid of Ca
tarrh?" You have doubtless
used numbers of local remedies,
and like every other sufferer
you have found out that they
are nothing but make-shifts
and do you no permanent good.
S. S. S. has proven highly sue
cessful in the treatment of Ca
tarrh because the real seat of
the disease is in the blood, and
there is no disorder of the blood
which does not promptly yield to
this great vegetable remedy.
S. S. S. goes direct to the
seat of the disease and routs
out from the blood every ves-
tige of impurity. No disorder
of the blood can remain in COM
petition with S. S. S. 1t simply
eradicates and eliminates every
germ of Catarrh from the
blood, after which the irritated
mucous membranes promptly
heal and the sufferer once more
enjoys perfect freedom from
this annoying disease.
Our medical department will
gladly give you all necessary
information about the treat
ment of your own individual
case, for which no charge will
be made. Write to-day to the
Swift Specific Co., All Swift
Laboratory, Atlanta, Georgia.
