DO NOT UNDERPAY TEACHERS

At the opening meeting of the selected grad raise an endowment fund of $l1 900 900 for liar yard University President Lowell said:
 Your professor does not ask much What he wants Is to be able to live comfortably or on a scale or living in which professor ought to live to educate his children highly as he was edu- cated himself and to provide for his old age If you are afraid of radical Sociastic Bolshevik ten dehces, don't underpay the people who are to teach your youth It is very bad investment"
 Ihese are wise words. The salaries paid instruc- tors ana professors in universities and colleges and also teachers in the public schools are as a rule oepioraoiy low, especially since the era of high cost or living set in. It was stated recently that some or the men employed on the Boston Elevated Railroad system, where strike for higher wages recently tied the whole transportation system of that city' received higher pay than many of the in sructors at Harvard. If this is true it is A dis sraceiul situation. If the youth of the land are t oe instructed along safe and lines if they are 'o De educated to combat the vicious social and ccohomcai propaganda spread broadcast they must oe free rom suggestions of discontent and pessi- mism that might emanate from a teacher or in.

BUT YOU CAN'T RELY ON
SPRAYS AND
INHALERS

There is no use permitting
yourself to be deceived. Per-
haps, like thousands of others
afflicted with Catarrh, you
are about ready to believe
that the disease is incurable,
and that you are doomed to
spend the remainder of your
days hawking and splitting,
with no relief in sight from
inflamed and stopped-up air
passages that make the days
miserable and the nights
sleepless.
OF course this all depends
upon whether or not you are
willing to continue the old
time, make-shift methods of
treatment that you and many
other sufferers have used for
years with no substantial re-
suits. If you are still con-
tent to depend upon the use
of sprays, douches, inhalers,
jellies and other like rene
dies by themselves, that are
applied to the surface and
cannot reach below it, then
make up your mind now that
your Catarrh will remain a
life companion and will fol-
low you to the grave.
You must realize that the
disease itself, and not its
symptoms, is what you have
to cure. OF course you know
that when you are cured of
any disease its symptoms will
disappear. Catarrh mani
tests itself by inflammation

breathing very difficult. To
get rid of these distressing
effects you must remove
their cause.
The blood is laden with the
Catarrh germs, which direct
their attack against the ten
der and delicate membranes
of the nose and throat. These
germs cannot be reached by
sprays or douches, which, of
course, have no effect what
ever upon the blood.
S. S. S. is a purely vege-
table remedy, made from
roots and herbs direct from
the forests, which combat
promptly any disease germs
or impurities in the blood.
This great remedy has been
used for more than fifty
years, with most satisfactory
results. 1t has been success
fully used by those afflicted
with even the severest cases
of Catarrh, because it drives
out from the blood the Ca
tarrh germs, and eliminates
every foreign substance from
the blood. S. S. S. is sold by
druggists everywhere.
