By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX ~~ I, Woman Is slow In (her growth toward [the standard of life. Iwhlch illustrates In her daily and hourly conduct the kindness and the sympathy which are suppo . d to be her chief char acteristics. Never was this fact more clearly and painfully illus trated than in the anger and rebellion which the majority of women exhibited when the law forbid ding the importing or wearing of algTettes and plumage of dead birds was enforced. There was a resounding cry against the tyranny of American '^^' 8 , an 'J much sarcastic comment on the land of the free. Women who occupied lugh positions socially and In artistic circles felt their rights had been infringed upon, and they were loud ln denunciation of the law which Interfered with their privi lege to aid and abet the destruction of song birds and birds of beautiful plumage. The very fact that it requires a law ♦o prevent women from Inciting whole sale slaughter of these glorious little creatures Is a reflection on the sex. But the enforcing of this law has awakened new brain cells In the In ventive organs of men and women mil liners, and we are seeing most attrac tive hats composed of materials which are far more hygienic and more exqui site than portions of dead birds, and which allow a greater variety of taste to be displayed ln millinery skill. And now come the "vegetarian furs. - * Whenever there la an Insistent de mand for anything In this world It jreate* a supply. The irrowth of the humane societies and the spirit of humanltarianism lias given & remarkable Impetus to the veg etarian organization. Why Catarrh Bothers Your Nose and Throat Living, Vital Facts For All Who Suffer With Any Form of Catarrhal Infection and Chronic Colds Would a Salve In the Chimney Stop the Smoke? Where's the Fire ? Everywhere people marvel at the re quite of 8. S. S. in overcoming catarrh. To the mind not versed la the wonders of the human body it will be Interesting to understand why thla most famous of all blood purifiers. 8. 8. 8., has such a remarkable Influence In clearing the noae. throat and air passages of catarrh. Yonr nose, as are all the Important cavities of the body, is lined with mu cous membrane. So Is your threat and even your skin covering is a modified form of mucous tissue. Now, all tonins er blood impurities are eliminated by way of this membrane. Stomach distress, in testinal bloating, liver engorgement, kid ney weakness, sore lungs and bronchial tabes that produce cough; an irritated bladder, diarrhoea and other bowel trou bles all may b« and often am Inflamed and Involved In a general state of disttir- B&nce which la recognised us catarrh. And It la through tbetr mucous mem braaea that the Impurities or hypersecre tions of mucus must be eliminated. In each an event it Is often necessary that these secretions be prepared by some In ternal medicinal Influence or action be fore they can be effectually gotten rid of. And if sot so prepared for elimination they are usually deposited In some vital parts and remain as points of concentra tion for various forma of chronic Inflam mation. Now, the action of 8. 8. 8. Is to so prepare the various blood impurities for elimination that they are readily seized upon by the mucous membranes for ex pulsion. And If B. S. 8. were more gen erally need aa a membraneous catalytic tfcere would be no catarrh.

WEDNESDAY EVENING SSBRISBURG flfSKfrg TELEGRAPH APRIL 22, 1914. Vegetarian Furs Are Fast Cnlnlng In Popularity. Where once there were ten "oueer people" to be met who ate no corpses, there are a thousand to-day. And where ten years ago the menu of the vegetarian was a most limited und melancholy one to-day it Is rich In variety and appetizing In taste and excellent in its nourishing results. The writer recently met a man of thirty-eight who was ln magnificent health; virile, handsome and possessed of a most brilliant mind. An orator and a thinker of unusual power, this man had never in his life tasted meat, tish. fowl, eggs, coffee, alcoholic drinks or tobacco. He was born and bred in India, and his simple diet of fruit, vegetables, cereals and milk (with an occasional dissipation ln a cup of weak teal had sufficed to make him what he was In brain and body. The vegetarians have often been confused when confronted by the seeming necessity of furs in cold weather to protect the body from Icy winds and zero temperature. As among their members they num ber many women of fashion, they have also realized the difficulty of convinc ing the "eternal feminine" that It was as heartless to wear the hide and hair of the slaughtered animal as to eat his flesh. But the growing conviction that the vegetarian must be consistent has created another supply to answer this demand, and the "vegetarian furs" are to-day worn by many a modish woman who would scorn to appear ln public looking old fashioned. These furs are the beginning of a new and profitable Industry, and are as lovely, warm and becoming as the most expensive skins of animals. Now from England comes the word that a new Invention Is on the market which makes a "vegetarian shoe sole" a pos sibility. And vegetarian leather for slippers rivals the finest kid.

The very fact tbat the noae is con stantly pouring out or Is plugged up with mucus must Convince anyone that the supply ts coming from many deeper sources. This explains why local treatment for catarrh is and always has been a total failure. The action must be internal and there are ingredients In 8. 8. 8. which not oalv eliminate catarrhal Impurities by way of the mucotiß membranes but they put a stop to their seeking Ihe point of concentration in the nose and other parts of the breathing apparatus. These farts have been demonstrated for many years and are known to thousands In every community where catsrrh abounds. But people cannot seem to shake otT the notion that the nose is the seat of trouble. The nose !s merely an outlet, the same as the bladder, bowels, skin and the expulsive process of the longs. l'rg« yourself to get a bottle of 8. 8. S. today.

Every effort made to interest chll w? ln thla subject should be met with encouragement by their elders. Here Is a letter which appeared in ? humane magazine, sent from Hart ford, Conn., which tells Just what Is golngr on la every part of the land to day: "The indiscriminate killing of birds ii o an a KUn has been carried on »] summer In the south end of the city by some small boys. These same boys were found picking up the dazed and maimed birds and roasting them alive. They also shot a little boy. He was quietly playing in his own yard. Not only have they been killing and wounding birds, but any little animal they saw became a target for them. % a SJT 8 at was shot twice ln one week. The first time sand was shot under the skin, on a front shoulder. The second time It was shot in the eye, causing great suffering for days. When the lady remonstrated with one or the boys for such cruel sport, the rather of the boy came out, and, though a perfect stranger, was Insolent tn his remarks to ner. Finally the matter was brought to the attention of the game warden, who promptly investi gated the case, and who explained the law to the mother of the boy who owned the air gun. Religion of Kindness Is the Thing the World Needs. "For nearly four days nothing more was seen of the gun, and then these same boys were out once more, not only with one air gun, but with two of them. People are afraid to report such matters, as it is likely, sooner or to get them into tfouble." The parents of these children are. no doubt. Christians, who believe they are bringing u '' 'heir boys righteously.
