Don't Experiment with Catarrh;
It Often Leads to Serious Trouble
You Will Never Be Cured by
Local Treatment With Sprays
Catarrh is a condition of the
blood and can not be cured by local
applications of sprays and douches:
this has been proven by the thous
ands who have vainly resorted to
this method of treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected
or experimented with. The wrong
treatment is valuable time lost, dur
ing which the disease is getting a
firmer hold upon its victim, and
making it more difficult for even the
proper treatment to accomplish re
sults.
Though Catarrh makes its first
appearance la the nostrils, throat
and air, passages, the disease be
comes more and more aggravated

KfcODAY" EVENING,
NEW DESIGNS IN WOMENS'
DRESSES PROMISE TO HAVE
AN "APPEALING EFFECT"
New York, Nov. 21.—Stye will be
the predominating factor for spring
of next year in the women's dress
industry, and with a bright outlook
for big business, the dress manufac
turers throughout the United States
are now at work on plans for the
new season, which promises to sur
pass those of previous years from
,a standpoint of expansion.
|-nnoo.anufacture. . . .hrh T EAOINL
I An announcement to this effect is
I made by the Associated Dress In-
I dustries of America. Its executive
director, David N. Mosessohn, points
out that the designers of women's
dresses both here and abroad have
originated creations for the An eri
can woman which promises to have
a most appealing effect.
Mr. Mosessohn declares that the
modes which will be introduced at
Palm Beach and other southern re
sorts will represent the last word in-
American creative ability, so far as
women's apparel is concerned, and
embody the most luxurious fabrics
that American mills have ever be
fore produced.
"Prices are not coming down,"
Mr. Mosessohn stated, "and they can
not come down Just so long as raw
material and labor advance in cost,
as they are doing at the present
time. Those are not the only items
that figure in the increasing cost of
wearing apparel." Practically
every item that figures in the mak
ing of a garment all the way down
and finally reaches down into the
lungs, and everyone recognizes the
alarming condition that results when
the lungs are affected. Thus catarrh
may be the forerunnner of that most
dreaded and hopeless of all diseases,
consumption.
No local treatment affords perma
nent relief. Experience has taught
that S. S. S. is the one ren edy which
attacks the disease at its source, the
blood, and produces satisfactory re
suits in even the worst cases.
Catarrh sufferers are urged to give
S. S. S. a thorough trial. It is sold
by all druggists. You are invited to
write to the Medical Department for
expert advice as to how to treat
your own case. Address Swtft Spec
ific Co., 254 Swift laboratory, At
lanta, Ga.
the line to the container in which)
the garments are packed for ship-1
ment to the retailer, costs more to- |
day than ever before, and so long
as this condition exists the women
of the country will pay more for
their clothing."
In connection with the coming
convention of the Associated Dress
Industries of America, which takes
place in Atlantic City December 2. j
3 and 4, announcement was made ;
of the chartering of a special train, i
which wIU leave New York Monday |
afternoon, December Ist, and which |
will carry the New York delegates
to the convention city. The train ]
will be known as the "Associated !
Dress Special."
SERBIA JUST AS
THE WAR LEFT IT
Remains Are Shell-Shattered,
Bomb-torn and Deso
late
Belgrade. Siberia, Nov. 21. —Bel-
grade remains to-day as the Germans
and Anstrians left It—shell-shatter
ed, bomb-torn and desolate. Owing
to lack of materials, money and la
bor, no steps have been taken by the
authorities to restore the scores of
residences, public buildings and other
property that fell under the enemy
bombardment. Nothing has been
done to repair even the royal palace,
which windowless, scarred and ne
glected, looks like a great empty
barrack.
The Serbian capital has a gloomy,
depressing air about it, and this at
mosphere is shared to some extent
by the people, who go about with
somber faces. Belgrade never
amuses itself. There are few cafes,
restaurants, theaters, cinemas, or
places of diversion or entertainment
in Belgrade. At night the city lias
all the stillness and repose of a
tomb. It may be. quite naturally,
that the country is still, mourning
its losses, for it has been continu
ously at war for seven years.
The retail grocers display only
scanty stocks. Some of them are
closed entirely. Cheap articles of
jewelry and tinsel find their way
from Austria and Germany, while
perfumes, scented soaps and silk
stockings come from Paris. Wearing
apparel of all kinds is high in price.,
The Serbian franc has fallen to low
purchasing value.
As in most war-affected coun
tries, there is a tremendous amount
of reconstruction work to be done
in Serbia. Broken bridges> shatter
ed railways, ruined factories and
destroyed machinery will have to be
replaced. Serbians say the material
and, to some extent, the money and
labor, will have to come from the
outside, for Serbia, strained and
straitened by seven years of war, is
almost destitute of the means to
accomplish this task herself. She
is looking hopefully to the United
States to help her in this direction.
There is a constant plea for Ameri
can engineers, businessmen and
materials.
Woman Says Work
Will Cut Food Cost
Philadelphia, Nov. 21. —Work, not
investigations and inspections, is the
solution of the problem of high food
prices, in the opinion of Mrs. Prank
B. Black, president of the Pennsyl
vania Society of Farm Women, who
glories in the toil, won plenty and
independence of the farm.
After speaking rather depreca
torilly of "research boards" and
"municipal food inspectors," Mrs.
Black said:
"Food is a question of labor and
preparedness.
"Our forefathers knew this, and
the old-fashioned storehouse was a
part of every home. In it the
women placed the labor of their
hands, in many foods, preserves of
fruits and vegetables in such quan
tities as kept the family supplied
through the winter, while the men
added their portion in meats, fresh,
salted and smoked (and grain), and
the family lived perfectly indifferent
to food inspectors, food prices and
any of the later-day nuisafcees.
"So the country people still live
in Pennsylvania.
"All through the summer months
the farmer works through the heat
and burden of the day, Ad produce
for himself and the public, knowing
full well that after seed time and
harvest nature throws over the fields
her mantle of snow, and production
ceases."
The California Launched
at Mare Island Yard
Vallejo, Cal., Nov. 21.—The third
electrically-driven superdreadnought
was added to the United States navy
afloat yesterday when the Califor
nia was launched at the Mare Island
navy yard here.
In the use of electricity jg a
means of propulsion, the jiew fight
ing ship follows the example set in
the building of the New Mexico and
Tennessee.
The California is expected to cost
more than $15,000,000 and will carry
twelve 14-inch guns. Besides being
electrically driven, the new warship
will be electrically operated from
her guns to her potato-peeling ma
chine.
As the great craft slid into the
water she was cheered by Governor
William D. Stephens, of California,
his daughter ,Mrs. Randolph T. Zane,
who sponsored the war vessel and
thousands of spectators. While her
berth was still warm the keel of a
great companion superdreadnought,
the Montana, was laid within it.
Big Russian Guns
Saved British Troops
From Annihilation
London. Nov. 21.—British officers
commanding troops which have since
been withdrawn from the Archangel
and Murmansk fronts were saved
by Russian artilleryfire from an
nihilation by Russian mutineers at
Tulguu shortly before they left Rus
sia. The slory has Just been told by
a special correspondent who was
with the British forces in North Rus
sia.
Some of the British were in a hut
when they were fired upon by one
of the mutineers through an open
doorway. The Russian missed and
was shot down, his failure revoal
ing plans for a general massacre.
HARRISBURG &&&£& TELEGRAPH
All the wires, except one to a village
where loyal Russian artillerymen
were stationed, had been cut und
the mutineers were preparing to
turn mnchlne guns upon the British
when the trapped men telephoned
the Russian gunners. Immediately
the loyal Russians began to drop
4.5 shells among the mutineers arnl
trie British escaped.
