Throw Away Your Sprays and Douches
They Cannot Cure Your Catarrh
Science Sliows the Way to the Proper
Treatment.
Science shows conclusively that
Catarrh cannot be permanently cured
by depending alone on local treat
ment with sprays, douches, .Inhalers
and ointments.
Catarrh Is not a local disease. It
Is more than an inflammation of the !
inembrances and air passages. When |
you are all choked up so that you
can hardly breathe, youf condition!
has been brought about by millions
of tiny germs which have fouiul
lodgment in your blood.
It is only by cleansing your blood
of these disease .serins and driving J
them from your system that you can j
get rid of your Catarrh. S. S. S.

Former Phila. Mayor
Dies in New Jersey
By Associated Press

During his incumbency Mr. Smith
was known as the "dandy mayor."
; He was born in Glasgow, Scotland,

when he was seven years old. The
death of his sron, State Senator Wil
-1 liam Wallace Smith in August is be
' lieved to have aggravated his condi

GOVERNOR WOULD
SAVE HARD COAL
[Continued .from First Page.]
feet of gas or 148,000,000 horse
power is lost every twenty-four
hours in the anthracite field. In ad
dition it would provide other in
•luttries when the anthracite coal.be
gins to wane.
Bring More Industries
Control of the gas will not only
bring more industrii s but lesseft ac
cidents which are important in the
view of the green men sent into
mines to replace the skilled men
who have gone to war and also en
able greater production. The idea,
said the Governor, was given him
by William S. Thompklns, of Wilkes-
Ba rre.
The best way to see if the prob
lem of utilization of the energy i*ow
lost in mine gases cannot be worked
cut is to have meetings and offer
inducements for ideas, said Gov
ernor Brumbaugh.
The benefits, he said, would be
great for industry, labor and the
general welfare and prosperity of
trfe hard coal region.
In the course of his talk the Gov
ernor declared that any man who
disturbed the peace, now should be
dealt with as a traitor. Let the
thought and energy be turned to
solving this problem of utilization.
Mine Caves
As to the mine cave problem, tho
Governor said that he hoped it could
be worked out and that he regretted
that nothing to help the situation
had come o him from the Legisla
ture.
Co-operation Pledged
H. A. Hubler, of the Scranton
Board of Trade, pledged support to
the movement, and said he would
arrange a meeting. He remarked
that one of the first things to do
would be to find out who owns the
gas.
Mr. Thompkins said that he felt
that in Wilkes-Barre there could be
wells drilled easily and the gas used
to generate steam power.
Speedy Action Askeil
Governor Brumbaugh closed the
meeting by asking speedy action and
commended the interest manifested.
After he left the conference a
meeting was held under* chairman
ship of Mr. Thompklns with Mr. Hu
bler as secretary, and it was decided
to go back and recommend to the
various organizations that the sub
ject be taken up.
Another Meeting
Several speakers made the sugges
tion that each chamber ask for ideas
from people in its district and then
have them assembled for study. Mr.
Thompkins said the Governor would
send each man a letter and arrange
ments could be made for, another
meeting at Scranton, Wilkes-Barre
OK Pottsvllle to discuss the subject
in detail.
H. C. Davis, of Kingston, said he
wanted more information about
what to do. "I understand we are
to go back and ask ideas, but this
thing has been well talked over. It
has been discussed for years and I
don't think it has been settled as
practicable. The Governor has told
us all he knows, but we do not know
much more."
The motion to have each man in
terest people in his town was car
ried and then on motion of Mr.
Hubler the meeting formed an or
ganization with Mr. Thompkins as
chairman and J. H. Lahm, Hazle
ton. as secretary. In addition to the
mine gas matter which we will have
to take up with the owners as well
as our organization you may have
the mine cave problem to deal with.
It's our problem now. It may be
yours to-morrow. We think we are
on a fair way to settle it. It is well
to have an organization.
The next meeting may be held at
Scranton. The bulk of the men pres
ent said they anticipated some lively
discussions at home.
CONSUMERS ARE
WORST SPECULATORS
[Continued from First Page.]
Sugar and salt are the principal
commodities in demand and the
wholesalers would like to know who
started the, crazy report that there
would be_no more salt in a short
time.
"Abso.utely the only trouble with
the salt supply "snapped one wor
ried wholesaler is the labor and car
shortage. There's plenty of salt in
this laid. We get the most from
New York state and Michigan nnd
these states are going up in smoke.
It is perfectly astonishing what a
wild newspaper yarn can do. In the
last two weeks customers have been
buying a bushel of salt at a time
rather than the usual two or five
pound sack. It was the same with
flour when it went up to $lB a
barrel. 'Let her rip, now,' you hear
dozens exclaim. 'l'm fixed anyhotV;
I have bought two barrels of flour.'
People Responsible
"When the papers came' out to
say that Germany produced 45 per
cent, of the world's sugar I called
on a big- refiner down in Philadel
phia and saw one order for 142,000
barrels. When that was known the
market went up like a skyrocket.
That's what happens every time. The
people themselves are responsible.
"Point is there is plenty of money
in the country at the present time.
Clerks and laborers and mechanics
have had raises in salary and they
are spending the-surplus. The gov
ernment requisitions, it is true, are
heavy, but not burdensome. Hun
dreds of telephone calls come in
here each day from frightened citi
zens: "Is it true that there won't
be any more sugar and salt?" It is
ridiculous. Let the people buy
moderately as is their custom i nd
they will make the job easier for
the government."
"The food administrator is doing
everything possible to hold things
down and adjust affairs. Only re
cently they forbade the combination
sales in stores whereby they would
sell sugar* only on condition that
several dollars worth of other goads
were purchased. Trie single excep
tion is that of sugar and cornmeal,
this for the reason that wheat is to
be conserved and the use of corn
meal encouraged."
Speaking of conservation, among
the number of restaurant men clam
oring for supplies, one told how he
was making pie crust in his Market
street restaurant out of rye flour
and cornmeal. This proprietor has
inaugurated the Wednesday meat
less day and this week he only had
one kick. True, meat was so ex
cluded that the chef did not even
use meat in the soup. The com
plainer was a U. S. Army sergeant
and because he kicked at there not
being any meat on the bill of fare
his. superior officer \yas notified and
what he tolcl the meat eating ser
geant will be quoted a long time
along Market* street.
RIVERSIDE PROPERTY TO

City Assessor James C. Thompson
stated to-day the total assessment of

ASK COURT TO THROW
OUT SOLDIER VOTE
[Continued from First Page.]
course would be not to contest the
computation but the election. He stat
ed to Mr. Stranahan that the court
was merely acting now as a comput
ing board and had no authority to,
rule on any legal questions such ns
had been raised but could pass on
them if the election was contested.
Must Be Tabulated
Mr. Stranahan told the court he
had no objection to the soldiers vot
ing, but did object to the application
of the law in this'respect as he did
not believe the court could compute
a vote for which there *ls no legal
basis. He called attention to the im
portance of deciding the question as
it will have a bearing on the election
next year.
Judge Kunkel. however, said that
as a computing board the court was
bound to count any vote if taken and
returned by the -proper persons at
least under color of law.
"The only question which seems to
be raised now is .whether a vote
taken in polling places outside the
state is legal. The candidates had
every opportunity to act to prevent
taking the soldier vote. It seems that
all of them took the chance, and now
those who are defeated are raising
objections. If proceedings had been
started in any district in the state it
would have stopped the whole thing.
Instead all the candidates seemed
willing to take the chance. It is a lit
tle late now to raise objections. The
law doesn't favor one who sits by
letting an opportunity pass and then
brings an objection at the end. Action
could have been taken to restrain the
appointment of commissioners. High
er authorities interpreted the act and
proceded under it and now objec
tions are raised here."
In ease the soldier vote should not
be included it is believed the official
vote for the city and the county may
change the returns for coroner as
verified, but unofficial returns give
Dr. Hartman a slight majority over
Jacob Eckinger, the Republican can
didate. Democrats also hope to cut
into C. W. Burtnett's lead of John K.
Royal in the city council light.
Delay Object ions
When court convened this after
noon, Mr. Stranahan said that he un
derstood the court to be sitting as a
computing body and that he would
file no objections at this time.
The court then proceeded to open
and to commute the soldier vote.

How to Get Rid of
