One of the jolliest crowds we have
mingled with for sometime was out
at Thomas Dalton's, in section 2, Mil
ford township, on last Thursday. The
cause of the merriment was the re-
turn of the son, Bryan, who came up
from Camp Dodge Wednesday Of last
week. He sailed from Brest on May
7th, and landed at New York and was
then shipped to Dodge, where he re.
ceived his final discharge. There
were 1870 soldiers on board the ship
and Bryan said that he was awfully
glad to get back to the good old U.
s. A., but found it just little quiet.

What Gillian Thinks About the Return of
the Saloon

Strick Gillian has not been away from Rich
mond so long that the younger generation is I'M
acquainted with the personality and writings of
the humorist who first attracted national notice
while city editor of the Palladium Old and
young know Strick and are willing to listen to his
opinions. His philosophy about the return of
the saloon is as witty as it is true to facts.
Recently he wrote the appended dissertation
on the second coming" of the liquor traffic:
Let me tell you when booze is coming back
to its own.
When American mothers adopt the ancient
Gauges custom of tossing their infants to the
crocodiles.
When farmers who have once begun using
tractors resume the use of oxen for blowing and
narrowing.
When horse stages are put back on the stage
routes now operating with motor cars that do a
days travel in an hour and a half.
When women who have been admitted to
their rights renounce the ballot and publicly pro-
claim that woman's only place is in the kitchen
or at the cradles side.
When nations adopt bows and arrows instead
of modern weapons in warfare.
When they begin burning witches once more.
When whipping is generally resumed in the
public schools
When three months old chicks begin using
for their nightly lodging places the shells they
discarded at birth
When all these and everything else you can
think of along the line of equal absurdity have
been established facts, then and not until then
will the saloon be found in the states that have
voted to ratify the constitutional amendment.

When Did Pioneers
Hold Last Hunt to
Exter1ninate Wolves

Wolf hunts have become curiosity
in Wayne county and the middlewest,
and occupy large spaces in the daily
papers when they occur, as one did
near williamsburg, Ohio, several weeks
ago, but with the early settlers, they
were a matter of stern necessity.
Wolves were a real menace, and the
hunts were organized, as the best
manner in which they could be COM
bated. The wolves were cornered in
great circle of men and boys under
strict command, who by perfect team
work, got the wolves in the midst of a
narrow area, when dogs, held back
until the proper time came, were turn
ed loose to finish the work.
Bears, buffalo, which, however, sell
dom came this far north, preferring
the grassy prairies of Kentucky; deer,
and an occasional panther, were the
beasts which were most common.
Wild turkeys were seldom shot, be-
cause ammunition was too scarce and
expensive to waste upon them, They
were driven by scores into covered
pens which had the lower part of one
side left open.
The silly birds would look at the
top for an outlet and finding none,
would become easy prisoners. They
were cooked by roasting on spit,
the grease being caught in dripping
pan. Quails were, strangely enough,
not much more numerous than they
are now, as they seem to follow civil
lization.

SPRING AGGRAYATES
YOUR CATARRH

atus. True, the effects of the
disease are manifested in these
annoying and often painful
symptoms, but you must treat
the disease itself and not its
symptoms only.
Remember that there are mil
lions of catarrh germs, and
when these infest the blood, you
cannot hope to be rid of your
Catarrh until these germs are
absolutely eliminated from the
blood. And this is why S. S. S.,
the well known old blood puri-
fier, is such an excellent remedy
for Catarrh. S. S. S. is the most
thorough blood remedy known to
science. 1t thoroughly purifies
the blood, and cleanses it of
every trace of disease germs.
So, if you wish to be relieved
of your Catarrh in a rational
way, you should begin taking
is. S. S. today, and you will have
the same satisfactory experience.
as the thousands of other Ca
tarrh victims have had. This
remedy will remove from the
blood all disease germs, and will
so build up the general health,
that you will find your system
in splendid disease-resisting con-
dition, your appetite will i'm,
prove, and you will again enjoy
the vigor of robust health.
S. S. S. is sold by druggists
everywhere. You should begin
taking it today, and if you wish
any medical advice without cost.

Sore and Irritated Membranes
Choke Up The Air
Passages. q.

You cannot realize the full
benefit of the balmy spring
weather as long as the air pas
sages are stopped up, and the
delicate and tender membranes
are kept sore and irritated by Of
fensive Catarrh. And in so
many cases, the disease seems
aggravated with the change of
seasons.
After using sprays, douches,
washes and lotions constantly
you should be convinced by now
that only temporary relief can
come from these local remedies.
Many unfortunate victims of Ca
tarrh have used this method of
treatment season after season,
and each year finds them still af-
flicted with the disease.
In fact, as long as you use only
such remedies as reach the sur
face, you will find that the dis
ease continues to grow worse,
for while these sprays and in
halers and lotions may unstop
the air passages for the time be-
ing, they have no effect what
ever upon the cause of your Ca
tarrh. And unless you treat the
cause of any disease you will
never be rid of the disease itself.
For this reason it is important
that you realize that Catarrh is
mot local irritation which stops
up the air passages and inter-
Iferes with the breathing appar-

Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and th6t is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordI
nary liquid arvon; apply It at night
when retiring; use enough to noisten
the scalp and rub it In gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most If not all, Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three OF
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly. and your hair will be fluffy,
| lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
pie remedy has never been known to
| fail.-Adv.
