THIS
NOW! CATARRH
CAN Be RELIEVED

hawking and splitting, and in GER
tain stages of the disease the odor
from the breath is very offensive.
Catarrh is usually worse in win
ter because of over-heated rooms
and offices, and because the low
temperature prevents the little re-
lief that healthy sweating will
give. The poison vitiated air in
stuffy rooms is breathed over and
over-in fact, the daily habits OF
men and women are faithful allies
of this disease. AS the blood cir
culates through the body, it car
ries Catarrh germs into the stom-
ach, causing chronic dyspepsia; it
affects the kidneys and bladder;
it weakens the general health and
causes loss of appetite. The suf-
ferer feels respondent 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 involved,
terminating in Consumption, the
most insidious of all diseases.
Don't expect to permanently
cure Catarrh with sprays, lotions
and salves or medicated cigarette
smoking. They give only tempo
rary relief. S. S. S. is the best
treatment for Catarrh, because it
goes right into the blood and as
sists it in removing the cltarrhal
poison and at the same tim builds
up the entire system by its fine
tonic effect. S. S. S. is a purely
vegetable remedy and not rin
rious to the system, like n raj
medicines.
Catarrh sufferers will find IL

advising local treatment to be
used with S. S. S. Don't hesi-
tate to write them, and if YOU

Suffrage Amendment are being told to
vote for it
AS an Act of Right and Justice"
The Presidents commitment to the
amendment ranks as war statement with
those made by Premier Lloyd George and
Mr.. Asquith and the Premier of Canada.
The British House of Commons has
passed Woman Suffrage as a war measure
by vote of to /.
France has found time between Verdun
and Cambria to proclaim, through it's Cham
7 Der of Deputies, that women should have
the vote, first of all as act of delayed
justice and, secondly, move dictated
by public interest"
Italys Prime Minister pledges the mu-
nicipal enfranchisement of Italian women.
The State Parliaments of five Canadian
Provinces have adopted Woman Suffrage,
and the newly returned Federal Premier,
finding it ridiculous that women should
vote in some provinces and not in others,
has pledged votes for all Canadian women
by act of the Dominion Parliament.

is stirring football fans everywhere.
Few who have followed Warmers
elevens in the past think hfs psnthers
will be fooled for long by Johnny
Heisman's pet play. They bank on
Warmers knowledge of the game and
the sureness of his coaching. Some
think he may put Tech up in the air
by springing the shift himself. He
has done this before now with other
teams boasting of a pet play.
The Panthers went through the
Pennsylvania game without injury.
Stein, who was hit on the head in a
serimmage, is all right again and will
be back at center for the Tech game.
He was the only member OF the team
forced to leave the lineup last Sat-

Captain George McLaren's ankles
are growing stronger and he will be
back in his old position behind the
line against Georgia Tech. Warner is
counting on his line-plunging TO
gain much ground.
Arrangements have been completed
