Declining to propose an armistice
while the armies Of the central pow.
ers remain on invaded soil. the presi-
dent called on the German chancellor
to state. as an absolutely necessary
preliminary to q reply from the en-
tente allies and the United States,
whether Germany accepts the priDci-
pies Of peace as repeatedly laid
down, or merely proposes to accept
them "as the basis of negotiations"
and whether the chancellor merely

German people.

Does the imperial chancellor mean
that the imperial German govern

with regard to the suggestion of an

Airplanes in Vicinity;

Dallas, Text takes an astlte

ing the government to keep scouting
planes from above the farms. For

eggs If excited.
Arthur Whiting. farmer, living IN
the vicinity of Dallas, was the first to
notice that the proximity of atc-
planes was followed by an augment

vides that all the men to be so en-

But You Can't Rely on Sprays,

the Right Treatment
at Once.

The very fact that Catarrh is
often considered to be nothing more
than a bad head-cold or inflamma-
ton 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
a complicated and dangerous dis
ease.
1t is true that Catarrh usually be-
gins with cold in the head, and
TINS supposed cold may have been
caused by infection through prox-
.Nmity to infected persons. in a closed
street car or room, inhaling 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 constitu-
tional trouble that will affect every
part of your body. The poisoned
blood circulating through your sys-

Understand This
Now! Catarrh
Can Be Relieved

Catarrh is usually worse in win
ter because of over-heated rooms
and offices. and because the low
temperature prevents the little relief
that healthy sweating will give. The
poison vitiated air in stuffy rooms is
oreathed over and over-in fact,
the daily habits of men and women
IN winter are faithful allies of this
disease. AS the blood circulates
through the body, it carries Catarrh
germs into the stomach, causing
chronic dyspepsia; it affects the kid
neys and bladder; it weakens the
general health and causes loss of
appetite. The sufferer feels de-
spondent and half-sick most of the
time, but the greatest danger lies
in the fact that if the Catarrh is not
checked, the lungs may become in
volved, terminating in Consumption,
the most insidious of all diseases.
Don't expect to permanently cure
Catarrh with sprays, lotions and
selves, or medicated cigarette smok-
ing. They give only temporary re-
lief. S. S. S. is the best treatment
for Catarrh, because it goes right
into the blood and assists it in re-
moving the "atarrhal poison and at
the same time builds up the entire
system by its fine tonic effect. S. s. s.
is a purely vegetable remedy and
not injurious to the system, like
mineral medicines are.
For the benefit of those afflicted
with Catarrh or other blood dis
eases we maintain a medical depart
ment in charge of a specialist skilled
in these diseases. Begin treatment
Immediately, get a bottle of S, S. s.
from your druggist today, and write
us fully about your case. He will
give it careful study and advise the
proper treatment for your individ-
ual case free of charge. Address

US. CONTROL OF
UTILITIES NOT
WAR NECESSITY
Auditor General Snyder Is
Given Ovation at Opening
of State Convention

Pottsvilie, Pa, Sept. 11.-Auditor
General Snyder was the principal
orator at the fifty-ninth session of
the State Council Junior Order
American Mechanics, which opened
yesterday. Mr.. Snyder paid a glow
ing tribute to our form of govern
ment and declared Pennsylvania
was the refuge of more seeking lib
erty than any other colony.
While disclaiming insidious criti-
cism, the Auditor General declared
amid loud applause that he did not
approve of the policy of the federal
government in taking over many of
the public utilities. such as railroads,
telegraph and telephone systems and
interfering with the BUSINESS affairs
of other industries. He declared
there should be no central power at
Harrisburg or Washington that shall
dictate how ones business. social af-
fairs or family should be conducted
He intimated that the personal
rights of the people are gradually
being filched from them under the
pretext that the control of some of
the business concerns of the coun-
try is necessary. Judging from the
applause of the 200 delegates his re-
marks met hearty favor.
Nominations of officers were made
disclosing that H. H. Sinnaman. of
Philadelphia, has no opposition for
state councillor; neither has Charles
Kaufman, of Philadelphia, for
treasurer. NJ. G. Jenkins, Edwards
vile. and Cyrus Weiss, Wilkes-B Barre,
were nominated for state vice-coun-
cilor.
