Nature Gives a Cry for Help, That Will Make This Winter
 a Season of Good Health for You.

Winter and Catarrh are com panions in evil. Catarrh IS sweeping civilization from one continent to another, because civilization does not follow Ma ture's laws. Nature tells us what to do and we pay no heed.
 Down deep in the body of man lie streams of blood, going everywhere and making com- plete circuit of the body every few seconds. In these rivers, brooks and streamlets of blood flow millions of little soldiers called corpuscles, whose duty 1t is to heal hurts, expel the ene- mics of man-germs-from the body and carry away impuri- ties.
 Nature, with the blood. builds bone and hair and teeth and flesh. She does this Sc quickly and with such absolute perfection that if we put into our mouths and stomachs the things the body needs, nature will distill her own chemicals and build up any torn-down portions.
 Catarrh is tearing down ot mucous membranes. A mucous membrane is one of the won- ders of science. It does the inn portant work of the body in some lines. When it becomes diseased, you quickly have the alarm from nature. Catarrh, in most cases, first warns us from a condition of the nose and throat. These membranes can not do their work. They be- come clogged. Impurities form and choke them. Decay starts, unpleasant odors arise, grad ually it spreads until the mem brane is almost worthless. Then we learn the fault is with the blood. There is too much work for the corpuscles to do - not enough to do it. They need help.
 Placing salves and lotions in the nose, and taking pills, pow

To Have Perfect Skin
 Throughout the Winter

These days the face and hands need spe- cial care and attention. Strong winds. quick changes of temperature from indoors to out doors, are severe the skin. Their despoil- ing effects are best overcome by the applica- ton of pure mercolized wax. This keeps skin and pores in a cleanly condition, the com plexion beautifully white and spotless. Chapped reddened, blotchy and roughened cutice are actually absorbed by it.
 One ounce of mereolized wax, obtainable at any drug store is sufficient to completely renovate a weather beaten complexion. It is used like cold cream, allowed to remain on overnight, and washed off in the morning.

TRAY OF DIAMONDS
 LOOTED BY WOMAN
Visits Two Jewelry Stores and Gets Stones At
 Each Place

A nicely dressed young woman en- tered the store of the Perry Jewelry company in the c>>~> hall building Tues day afternoon and asked to be shown some diamonds.
 T want to buy a s175 diamond" she told Louis Perry, who waited on her.
 MT. Perry pulled out two trays of the precious stones from his showcase.
 Here is one tray of s15O diamonds and another of s2OO diamonds" said Mir. Perry.
 The woman inspected both corps, picked up several of the $50 diamonds and after looking them over momen- tarily. showed them back to Mr. Perry, stating that none of them would do. She had gone about five minutes when Mir. Perry, in putting his diamonds back in the tray, noticed that one S150 stone was gone.
 After reporting the case to the de- fectives. he rushed down the street to sRubenStein's Jewelry company and asked if they had sold any diamond customers. He was told that lady

WHY CATARRH
 ALWAYS COMES WITH WINDY WEATHER

ders and purgatives will not give nature what she needs. She changes the chemical nature of many drugs that we take, ac- cording to our body's condition. She will not change those things she lacks and needs. Ger tain vegetable matter taken into the system gives nature her tools. Armed with the power to protect herself and heal herself, nature gladly hur- ries the new vegetable rein forcement to the injured parts, and we at once feel as though great strain had been lifted from us.
 N ture, during winter, changes the blood of man and we, because of our habits, con- tinue to do those things which are against nature. Then, far down amid the vital organs 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 friend to nature, a companion to health, and the body re. spends to it's influence in a way that will surprise you. So quick ly and quietly is the journey made toward health, that we know, because we feel it, that s. s. s. contains the vegetable ingredients that nature herself would choose if she were able to make her own selection.
 s. s. s. goes into the body like food. It 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 a bottle of s. s. s. and learn for yourself what the proper assist ance will do for your Catarrh. s. s. s. is that assistance-Buy bottle today.
