Don't Let Catarrh Drag
You into Consumption
AvcAi Its Dansrerous Stase.
There is a won serious stage of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused
I y the stopped-up air passages, ana
the hawking and spitting1 and other
distasteful features.
The real danger comes from the
tendency of the disease to continue
1U course downward until the lungs
f -ome affected, and then dreaded
consumption is on your path. Your
-. c ti experience has taught you that
the i disease cannot be cured by
strays, tiThalers, atomizers, jellies
and other local applications.
-S, S. S. has proven a most satisfac
tory remedy for Catarrh because it
goes direct to its Bourcp, and re
moves the germs of the disease from
the blood. Get a bottle from your
druggist today, and begin the only
logical treatment that gives real re
sults. You can obtain special medical
adyice without charge by writing to

Quick Work of the Americans Re
sults in the Destruction of the Gas
Projectors of the Enemy in the
West.
With the American Army in France
Tuesday, iMarcfa 12. (By the Asso
ciated' Press.) Four groups of Ger
man gas projectors, in addition to tne
group of 200 ipirtojectors already re
ported destroyed, have been discover
ed and likewise -blown to pieces by the
American artillery. Probably Ger
man plans for gas attack, on a com
paratively large scale against the
American positions northwest 'of Toul
have thus been upset.
T,!te new groups of projectors were
discovered1 from aerial photographs
taken by American observers in the
French airplanes. The effective ac
tion taken against them was due to
the quick wark of the observers, the
intelligence officers aim! the artiller
ists in torn.
The lAmerican artilleryvon this front
has been more activo than ever in the
past 15 hours, and its shells also
found lodgment in a number of am
munition duimips, which were blown
up. Many extensive explosions are
reported!. Tihle idorrespondent, stand
ing on a Mil, witnessed one dump sit
uated in a wood, go up in a brilliant
flash and a great puff of whitish
smoke, a' tremendous report follow
ing a few seconds later. Explosions
and fires also were caused by our
shells in villages and a muimber in the
woods behind the enemy front.
Silence German Batteries.
During a retaliatory shelling for an
enemy bombardment in which a num
ber of gas shells f;il . i m.r battery
positions, the American guns silenced
certain German batteries by pouring
in a fast and extremely accurate fire.
Out artillerymen stayed in their dug
outs until the gas shells began to
fall, lAihein they put on their masks
and manned the guns while thus pro
tected. Some mustard gas shells were
mixed witfh the others that fell and
later a few of our men walked through
this type of gas 'without their masks
on.
The 'American artillery also tore
great gaps in the enemy wire and lev
elled various portions of the first anil
second line trenebes, forcing the en
emy virtually to 'abandon them.
.Details of the recent raid which has
just been developed, show that while
numbers of Germans were killed by
shell fire hen the box barrage was
in effect and others later by the
reeiping barrage, there were also a
few of the enemy shot here and there
during the time our men, were in the
trenches. Ther were many Amricans
aimcintg the raiding party of four offi
cers and 70 men whb did not see a
single German soldier.

One Hundred Gallon Liquor Making
Outfit Taken hi Iredell and One
Hundred and Fifteen Gallon Outfit
Found in Cabarrus.
Statcsville, March 14. Sheriff M.
P. Alexander, with Deputies Privette
and Woodsides, made a raid into the
northern part of the county yesterday
in quest of a blockade still. Their
trip was not in vain, for about 4 p.
m. they came upon a complete distil
ling outfit, which contained a 100-gaI-lon
sheet-iron still, with cap and
worm, six large stands for fermenting
beer, three 10-gallon kegs and four
barrels, in addition to several other
accessories consisting of a saw, ham
mer, mattock, buckets and fruit jars.
The outfit was not in operation when
the officers arrived, but evidence dis
closed that the operators had "run
out" not earlier than the night before.
There was no one present when the
officers arrived, but sufficient evidence
was secured to warrant the apprehen
sion of the parties who were operat
ing the plant and their arrest will be
made within a day or so, it is said.
Big Still Taken Near Concord.
Concord. March 14. A 115-gallon
copper still three and one-half gallons
of whiskey and a large quantity of
malt was seized Wednesday night by
Deputy Collector W. C. Lisk during
a , raid in township five, Cabarrus
county, about seven miles from Con
cord, according- to information
brought back to Charlotte last niiyht
by Special Policeman Dwyer and Pax
ton, who were yesterday in Concord
on official business. The day before,
Deputy Collector Lisk captured a
smaller still, some contraband malt
and a "blind tiger" in another raid,
he told the Charlotte officers. The cap
ture of the large still, and one of cop
per, was regarded by the Charlotte
policemen as a feather in Collector
Lisk's cap. 4

A PITIFUL CASE IN COURT
Ycung Dope Fiend Sent to Jail for
Treatment Under County Health
Officer A Vagrant Goes to the
Roads.
In the county court this morning
one defendant for vagrancy was sent
to the roads for a term of thirty days.
In another case of simple assault
the defendant was adjudged guilty
and costs imposed.
A pitiful case before the court was
a young white man charged with non
support. The defendant is a con
firmed dope fiend and is not really
in condition to work but, he was found
technically gujlty and is to be con
fined in jail and given treatment, in
the hope of restoring him to norma! !
condition. This case appealed to the
sympathies of all who heard it and
much pity was felt for this man and
also his family. The case was not
bi ought up in order to inflict any
punishment on the man but to help
him, and everything possible will be
done to relieve him from his terrible
conditio.

Everyone, whether airing, sick or

stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous day's indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire elimentary canal before
putting more rood into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentation, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex
tracting a large volume of water
from the blood and getting reaiy for
a thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly complexions are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
scene phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro
nounced crank on the subject of
