YOU NEED NOT
SUFFER FROM CATARRH
But Yen Mutt Drive It Out of
Your Blood.
Catarrh is -annoying enotfrh
when it chokes up your nostrils
and air passages, causing difficult
breathing and other discomforts.
Real danger conies when it reaches
down into your lungs.
This is why you should at one
realize the importance of the prop
er treatment, and lose no time ex
perimenting with worthless reme
dies which touch only the surface.
To be rid of Catarrh, you most
drive the disease germs out of your
blood.
Splendid results have been re
ported from the use of S. S. &.
which completely routs from your
blood the Catarrh germs, for
which it is a perfect antidote.

COU RT-M A RTIAL REFO RM.
' One new article of war and changes in thirty oirs
have been recommended by the special board which has
ken investigating the court-martial system of the army.
The report of the board will soon be transmitted in full
to congress for action.
Secretary Baker said, in speaking of tho matter:
"It may be said that the board, upon the whole, finds
no radical defects in the system, and it attributes the
ereater part of the just criticism not to inherent faults in
the system itself, but rather to the inexperienced persor
nel called upon to administer it at a time of stress, whe.i
the great thing was to get 4,000,000 men quickly in shape
for the fighting line." . . '
Undoubtedly most of the mistakes made in the cor
. .. r tut., n.v.,. c.mi-nn hnr it" Will
duct of tne war arose u um wu'"' -
be a matter of popular feeling that the new court-martial
proceedings shall be definitely outlined as to make a sun
liar misinterpretation and injustice unlikely to occur
grain, whatever the conditions. t
It is time, of course, that except in isolated cases, no
soldier not guilty of some misconduct suffered punish
ment, and that the way for a soldier to avoid unpleasant
court-martial proceedings was to behave himself.
Nevertheless, punishment for cruelty or misapplica
tion of the army rules should be as drastic as for military
offenses on the part of the soldier. It wou i d have a heal
thy tendency to put a check upon any "inexperienced
personnel" in future.

EXTRA CAR NEEDED TO
FRIENDS.
The town is full of friends of mine, and when I leave
mv tree and vine to walk around a square, they greet me
with a cordial smile, and seem to think I'm well worth
while, and smooth and passing fair. I often wonder how
they'd act if I disclosed the doleful fact that I was busted
flat, if I put up a hard luck tale, and for a bunch of bor
rowed kale should straightway pass the hat. No doubt
the cordial smiles would freeze, and I'd be shunned as
though disease had marked me for its own; and men I
cornered would exclaim, "That I may play my private
game. I need my every bone." And punk philosophers will
Fay, "So runs the weary world away, and friendship is a
snare: well fixed, you're greeted with a grin; but when
your bank account's fill in, you're turned down every
where." When I go forth to work my friends, the sacred
Jtoon of friendship ends, and that is right and just; they
cannot love me or respect, if I surround them and collect
their hard earned stoiv of dust. I have good friends on
even' block; 1 meet good friends where er I walk, but
they would turn and flee, if I should try, in friendship's
name, to work some cheap leg pulling game, and that's as
it should be.
