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 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 10 its in
iluence 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 S. S. S. contains the vege-
table ingredients that nature her
self would choose if she were able
to make her own selection.
5. 5. S. goes into the body like
food. 1t mixes with the blood;
seeks everywhere for, disease
germs and the body is made glad
with natures own remedy.
S. S. S. is. sold wherever drugs
are sold.
Go to your druggist, buy bot
tie 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
today.
Write the Medical Department
relative TO your Catarrh or any
other blood disorder, and a COM
petent physician will give you full
advice, without charge. Address

Ben Sen WI, Murdered
Chinese Student, Regarded
AS Prodigy in English

Ben Sen WI. murderd Chinese htu-
dent, was regarded as almost a
prodigy in the mastery of the English
language by members of the faculty
at George Washington University.
At. the outbreak of the war WI was
in China. diligently studying French
with a view to going to France as a
civilian employe of the Chinese gov
ernment. His plans were changed,
however, when he was offered a posi-
ton with the Chinese Educational Mis-
sion.
When he arrived in this country he
was able TO speak only a few words
of English. Determined to master
the language. he enrolled at a private
educational Institution, where he re-
manned eight months. During that
short period he not only became able
to speak English fluently. but he COW
cred sufficient ground to entitle him
to. sixteen credits of study. the num-
ber needed to admit him to George
Washington.
WI spoke English with apparently
little difficulty, although he had a
slightly foreign accent AS a rhetoric
student, however, he was handicapped
because of his short acquaintance

difficulty in mastering the English
idioms.
But although his work was regarded
as only fair" in comparison with
that of other students. who had
spoken and written English all their
life, his mastery of the language was
considered phenomenal in view of the
short time he had ben studying it.
WI was q years old, and rather un-
dersize. He dressed neatly and always
carried a brief case while at the uni
versity. He was suave and extremely
courteous.

LUXURY TAXES, PUT UNFAIR
BURDEN ON NATIONS HOMES
Clothes and House Furnishings Are Included
In List Upon Which Revenue Is to
Be Raised

en- earn exactly the same and both
are taxed upon their income, and yet
when their wives go TO the store one
must pay an extra tax for indulgtng
her natural craving for an article or
little better quality, whilet he other
IGys no tax
This is only one example of one of
many Objectionable features of the
luxury taxes as they would weigh
upon the public. There are many
more Objectionable features, for the
luxury taxes must be collected from
the public. This is specifically pro-
vided in the bill These taxes are
going to prove a troublesome kind OF
taxation which will greet consumers
at every point. for the retail store :
viii be powerless to do other than
lnforce the law whenever Mrs. Brown
desires anything which. in the judg-
ment Of certain members of Congress,
she does not vitality need.
Are Unfair Imposts.
The proposed luxury taxes are not
tair taxes because, as they appear in
the bill, they show many inconsist-
encies. For example, the working
girl who, by dent of saving and sac
rihce, is able to crafty her natural
longing for a little better quality in
shoes. stockings, umbrella, parasol or
pocketbook. will be obliged TO pay a
tax. On the other hand. the wealthy
woman may. If she chooses, pay
1900 for a dress without being re-
quired to pay a tax.
Besides the obvious burden, the
luxury taxes will place upon the
public, they will also operate to in
crease the cost of desired merchan-
disc because the business OF COM
putting and collecting and making
returns to the Government for the
taxes collected will prove so diff
cult that some retail merchants fig-
ure the cost of collection will be
almost as great as the tax itself.
Ultimately this too must be paid by
the public in the form of a higher
cost of distribution.
Many customers of some of the
leading stores are asking to sign
petitions expressing their opposi-
tion to the luxury taxes. These pc
titions, which may be signed at any
of the larger stores, will be for
warded in a few days to the proper
officials of Congress in the attempt
to demonstrate to our lawmakers
how unpopular these arbitrary lux
ury taxes are certain to be in the
eyes of the consuming public.

She docs this so quickly and with
