HO HOPE OF RELIEF
FOR CATARRH VICTIMS
Unlets Old-Time, Obsolete
Treatment Is Discarded.
The coming winter . offers
little hope to the victim of Catarrh-
In fact very shortly you
will begin to once more know
the real annoying: and dis
agreeable features of the dis
ases which always make their
appearance with cold, raw
and windy weather.
Doubtless during the mild
summer months you have. en
joyed, some relief from the
disease, because there is al
ways less inflammation of the
membranes during the sum
mer, but do not make the mis
take of thinking that your Ca
tarrh is gone, for the very first
raw, damp, wintry -day, the
delicate linings of the mem
branes will begin to again be
come irritated and sore, the
air passages will begin to clog
up, and soon you will find that
your old enemy is still with
you, with a fiendish intention
of making the winter as full
of discomfort as ever.
; What are you going to do
about it? If you have had the
disease for any length of time,
the chances are that you have
nse'd enough local remedies to
Convince you that there is no
cure for you in this method of
treatment. Are you going to
drag through another v inter
hawking, and spitting ' -rd
spraying constantly in an ef
fort to unclog the stopped up
ii nassaires so that vou can
get your breath for awhile,
knowing that tnese accumuia
tions will immediately reap
pear or are you going to dis
card this makeshift treatment,
and use a little intelligence in
an effort to get rid of this dis
ease that is such an annoyance
and a constant handicap? '
You must accept the teach
ings of science, which show
that to get rid of any disease,
you must treat it at its source,
you must direct your efforts
toward removing its cause, in
stead of being satisfied -with'
slight temporary relief from
its symptoms. You must rout
out from your blood the mil
lions of tiny germs which
cause Catarrh, so that there
can be no more inflammation
of the nose and throat, and
choked up nasal passages that
make breathing difficult and
painful.
S. S. S., the fine old blood
remedy, has given splendid
results in the treatment of .Ca
tarrh, and you will be delight
ed with its effect to your case.
It so purifies and cleanses the
blood, that disease germs are
eradicated, hence when the
germs of your Catarrh are
eliminated from the blood, you
are on the right road to per
manent riddance from the
disease. Go to your drug
store, and' get. a bottle of
S. S. S. today and begin the
real rational treatment that
will give real results.
If you will write our med
ical department, we will take
pleasure in giving instructions
regarding the treatment of
your own particular case. Ad

PART OF U. S. IN
OLYMPIC GAMES
TOBEDECIDED
Commitfee Will Confer Friday
Night Regarding Enter
ing Teams in Seventh
Olympiad.
. New York, Nov. 26.-J-The first
formal step toward America's par
ticipation in the Olympic games at
Antwerp, Belgium, in August, 1920,
will be taken here Friday night,
when the American Olympic com
mittee will confer regarding enter
ing of teams in thjs seventh Olym
piad. Prior to the conference, the
committee and representatives of
the leading sport-governing bodies
of the country will meet Colonel
Osterreith, the Belgian director gen
eral of sports, at a dinner at which
plans for the games will be outlined.
Colonel Osterreith, who is chief of
the Belgian military mission in the
United States, as well as a member
ot the committee on preparation for
the seventh Olympiad, requested an
opportunity to explain in detail ar
rangements ior the international
meet, the first since the Stockholm
games in 1912.
Dinner at N. Y. A. C. -
The dinner, which will be held at
the New York Athletic club, will
be attended by ' members of the
American Amateur union, the Inter
collegiate Association of Amateur
Athletes of America, Western Inter
collegiate Athletic conference, Na
tional Lawn Tennis association,
United States Foot Ball association,
National Association of 'Amateiir
Oarsmen, United States Revolver
association, American Trapshooting
association and National Cycling as
sociation. 1
While plans for organization and
transportation of the United States
teams are in a vague state, it is un
derstood that more than 100 ath
letes, , cyclists, marksmen, fool ball
players, swimmers and fencers will
make the trip to Belgium. The
team will sail from this country
early in July, and the competitions,
beginning about the' middle of Au
gust, will continue front three to
four weeks. Tryouts for track and
field athletes will be held in various
rarts of the United States and it is
probable that the winners will meet
in a final set of games in the east
just prior to the sailing.
ReDorts from abroad are to. the
effect that France, England, Italy
and the Scandinavian countries have
already begun their training cam
paigns. Judging from preliminary
trials, the generally accepted opin
ion in' America that the United
States team will have a walkover
in the track events is not war
ranted. . '

Johnny Dundee Wins,
Newspaper Verdict
Over f harley White
Milwaukee, Nov. 26. Johnny
Dundee, eastern lightweight boxer,
decisively outpointed Charley White,
Chicasro. in a 10-round, no-decision-
ccntest, according to ringside critics.
The bout went the limit. Dundee
was the' aggressor throughout.
White was so inactive during the
first half of the buot that the chair-
nan ot tne ooxing commission or-'
dered him to "get busy." From then
on the Chicaeo boxen was more
active, but Dundee was after him
and delivered several blows ' to
Whites, one. Dundee cleverly
ducked away 'from several of
White's lefts and fequently caught
the Chicagoan .on the jaw, causing
his head to wobble.- Dundee also
drove in many hard blows to the
body. White weighed 136 and Dun

Pastor Bases Sermon On
Recent Aerial Derby
San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 26.
"The Flvinar Parson and Winged
Angels" formed the topic of a Sun
day sermon here of Henry Frank,
leader' ot tne reopies JLiDerai
church. He based his talk on the
recent aerial derby in which Lieut.
Belvm W. Maynard was the tirst to
reach each coast.
"Too long have our eyes been
scouring the skies for' mystic mes
sengers," he said. "By a peculiar
paradox of destiny a preacher has
nearly outmatched the world tn
aerial achievement, and has justly
been dubbed the flying parson.
The flying parson is the symbol
of the new age, wherein our deeds
shall be our prayers; our ventures
shall be our devotions and our char
acters shall be our credential that
shall admit us into .the company of
our peers." "

he Rogers Cafe did the heavy
work for the crack Omaha teams,
but failed to displace the leaders.
A poor start handicapped them, but
in the second game the cafe men
came back and hit the maples for a
1043 game, the highest yet rolled in
the tournament. They made a des
perate effort to keep up their terrific
onslaught, but splits and failure to
bunch strikes held them down to a
920 game for a total of 2842, third
high in the tournament. The Sun
light Paints put on a thriller in their
second game by rolling a 1030 game,
but their first and third games were
low, thein total count being 2657,
second high for the evening. The
Paulson Motors rolled third with
2652.1 Carl Younger rolling with the
Paulsons was the best individual
roller with a 614 total. Zadina's.246
gsme was the best single offering
of the evening.
The Auto Row teams rolled in the
opening squad but 'none of them
rolled a good total, Tim Doherty,
rolling with the Great Western
Commercial Body team, was the
high roller with a 614 total.
During the day Fitzy Figenschuh
roiled into third place in the indi
vidual event with 629. H. Paul of
Des Moines was the only other high
roller with a 611 total in the singles
which places him in sixth place. -
No high doubles were rolled.
Today the crack local bowlers will
roll their doubles and singles. The
matches commence at ,8 this morn

Tonight Omaha's last hope, the
Scott Tent and Awning team, will
rojl. This is a fast aggregation and
local bowlers are pinning their
hopes on this team coming through
for a high one. They will roll in
the 9 6'clock squad. The first squad
will be the Omaha banks squad. All
the teams rolling in this squad are
representatives of local banks, most
of the players being employees of

Central High to Close
Season With Game at,
St. Joseph, Mo.', Today
' """
A laree mass meeting was held at
the Central High school auditorium!
to boost the Thanksgiving game at
St. Joseph. A collection was taken
up for the purpose of sending a band
of 25 oieces to the game to encour
age the team. A petition was sent
around all the rooms and signed by
the majority of the students. This
is the first time the band has ever
accompanied any foot ball team to
visiting cities. About ' $180 was
needed, but the students donated
over $100 more. "This is a practical
guarantee that we are going to whip
St Joseph, and everybody will be
thankful for that," said Principal
Masters in his regular circular.
Coach Mulligan refused to submit
the sure lineup. Practice was aban
doned last night on account of the
early departure of the team. Sixteen
of the foot ball warriors boarded- the
train yesterday at 4:20 for the annual
game. Willmarth will be seen in the
lineup for the first time in three
weeks. He was laid up with a broken
collarbone. Chesno.will be unable to
cover the ball from center for the
Purple and White warriors on ac
count of a badly sprained ankle re-'
ceived in the Sioux Falls game.
This game is expected to be the
hardest battle for the St. Joseph lads.
They will run a few of the fastest
men in the state against the Central
High men. Grauer, a four-year man,
will be lined up at tackle. He is the
star of the line. "We'll take the swell
out of the chesty Nehrsrta lads,". is

students. The sale of tickets was
announced as being extra heavy, by
Harlan Haaker, manager of the
University squad. Over 800 men in
uniform, accompanied by the Fort
Omaha band, will witness the fray.
The local University neatly placed
Trinity College on the list of de
feated last Saturday. Coach Cav
anaugh has a strong- and fast team
this year since the arrival of ex
soldiers. He put his warriors
ihrough the last signal practice of
the . grid season last night in the
school gymnasium. The box of
fancy and tricky formations will be
uncovered in this game, according
to the students. '
Several star university men will
appear on the field for the boys in
the olive drab. Donahy, who played
on the Oregon University team, will
play guard. . McCracken, who; has
played for three Consecutive years
for Wisconsin, will lineup at the
end position. The men have been

NEBRASKA FIELD
IN GOOD SHAPE
FOR GRIDJATTLE
Gridiron Thoroughly Swept
and Straw Scattered1 Over
It to Keep It in Condi
tion for Big Game.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 26. (Special
Telegram.) Despite the blizzard
that swept this city Tuesday, the
University foot ball field, where the
second annual meeting of Nebraska
and Syracuse University foot ball
elevens will take place Thanksgiv
ing day, was in excellent condition.
Complying with a request over
long instance telephone by the
Syracuse, management, Coach
Schulte "ordered the gridiron
swept land inspected late Wednes
day., A layer of straw will' be laid
this "evening, which will be- swept
off in the iOrning.
' The Cornhuskers held a brief 10
minute practice, Coaches Schulte and
Schissler, heeding the cold weather,
(kerned a systematic drill both un
desirable and impossible. Follow
ing a short forward passing exer
cise the men sprinted a half-mile
and turned in. j
Weather conditione tends to low
er 'the attendance, yet it was an
nounced at the athletic office, that
all grandstand and student tickets
had been sold out several days ago.
The Nebraska squad is in splendid
condition and will probably fight the
best Husker batfle in years.
Betting' is about even.

Bluffs Team Has
Trick Play to Fool
South Omaha Boys
Council Bluffs High school foot
ball warriors will close their sched
ule today with the South. Omaha
High school eleven on the Bluffs
field.. ' .
This will be the first Turkey day
contest that the Bluffs eleven has
played on their home field for a num
ber of years and a large crowd is
expected.
. With the exception of Harold Nel
son, end, who suffered a bad injury
to his head in scrimmage Tuesday,
the Council Bluffs team is in the
best of condition. The members
have been scrimmaging with former
foot ball college stars and alumni
men, with the result that they have
developed a strong offensive ability.
It is expected that the Bluffs will
use a variety" of 'both open and
straight foot ball that will keep the
South Omaha men on the "jump."
The Bluffs squad has a number of
tiaffling trick formations to open up
with, if necessary.
"Today's game will be the last one
that a number of Bluffs star war
riors will be seen in a Crimson and
Blue uniform. Halfback Lemon and
Quarterback Currie are two Bluffs
stars that will end their high school
foot ball career today. Lemon has
played a wonderful game all season
and will probably be in line for an
all-state position. ,
A large mass meeting was held
yesterday aftetnoon at the Bluffs
school to insure a large attendance
today on the side lines. The game
will be called promptly at 3 on the
Sixteenth Avenue field.

For Ireland Soon to

London, Nov. .26. A new home
rule hill setting up two Parliaments
in Ireland with a council of senate
of 40 to be chosen by the two, prob
ably, will be introduced in Parlia
ment within the next two weeks.
Daily sessions are being held by
the cabinet committee in charge of
the measure, the subject under dis
cussion at present being finance,
which is in charge of a subcommit
tee under the chairmanship of J.
Austen Chamberlain, chancellor of
the exchequer. Control of customs
has always been a point of sharpest
difference when other home rule
schemes have been debated and was
one of the rocks upon which the
Irish conventions) was shipwrecked.
Control of police is another knotty
gpint.
Practical experiments to deter

A LIST OF NEEDY CASES
rjy HERE are lots of things that you can scold a.kid for. -; ; ,
You can crab because ht little dahlink tied the cat's tail into a lover t
knot. You can pack a grouch because bright eyes used the thousand
installment Persian rug for a blotter to soak -up a pint of best writing ink.
You are entitled to a vote of protest if baby sings the aria from "La Colic"
at three per clock in the morning. v
But there's one thing you can't roast a kid'for. i :
You can't bawl out the little bird for being hungry.
"Throw in" is circus scoffiing. "Scoffing" is ultra-circus for putting
on the feed bag. When a circus employe is feeding stylish he might
chirp, "Let's wrastle the oats," or something; but when he is hungry all
ht hollers is, "Let's throw in." TJien he ambles to the' old feed trough an
packs it in. And let us buzz you something about circus eating. ' Every
body on the lot eats the same. The naturalist who waters the elephant
grabs the same grub as the owner of the show. The wagon driver eats our
of the same oven with the muscular Paderewski who pummels the steam
calliope. The canvasmen and stakemen scoff equal with the pink spanglefi
prima donna on the flying trapeze. The guy who runs the. show knows
that he has to feed his laborers good chow or they'll blow the works. 1
. -.'''.' Jf
Why not make this Christmas a circus? Kick in with the buttons an
the velvet and give everybody a chance to scoff equal. It's going to b
a tough assignment for a poor kid to believe in a Santy Claus who won't
get close enough for the kid to eat his whiskers for shredded wheat- , i
' . ' . .w
And Christmas doesnt stop with a big enow. After a kid has eaten'
himself dizzy he has to have some toys. Do you know why so many poor
kids are, bow-legged? It's because they haven't got any hobby-horses,
and have to use beer kegs instead. A beer keg makes a pretty fair hobby
horse. But now the eighteenth amendment has taken even the tnerrr
brew barrels away from the kiddos. It's up to you to come through with
some toy money. N ,
But we ain't after the folks who are starving midst plenty. ,
We're after the cuckoos who are plentying midst starving. '.,,',
Here's a list of needy birds who need to contribute to the Christmas
fund: v. , t
Case One The gent who had enough darb to lay in a cellar load ot
nose rouge for the seven year drouth.
Case Two The guy who had so much bun money that he bought A
house with two cellars. ' . ,
Case Three The bird who can afford to kick forth with SO brrfci
for a ticket to the Yale-Harvard game, 100 smackers for the DempSey
Willard fight if it was a fight and 50 beans for a stack of blue onei. -'i
Case Four The baby who thinks that "Tell me not in mournful num
bers" means two aces, ace-deuce and two sixes. Any sapp'-who can afford
to roll the galloping dominoes can afford to kick forth with a contribution
to help some poor guy whose meals are as far apart as the kaiser and Paris.
Case Five The fur-lined citizen who buys gasoline at 30 cents per
demi tasse for a scented limousine. . The old Rolls-Wreck can go without
its oil dintier for a day, while some down-and-outer stuffs himself with
eats like a self-made taxidermist. , , . ,
Case Six Anybody who ?9 fond of sports. The records show, that
eating is a major sport. When you help another gent to a feed you arc
helping a brother sportsman. y ' 4 ; ,;
We could fun a flotilla of adding machines ragged figuring up the
cases of gents who need to contribute. Just frisk yourself for your B. .R
and( see if you aren't a needy contributor.
Kick in and put it dowft as a war tax'on your conscience.
' And we buzz you that this is the last request we make until the Inter!
national Order of Bar flies holds a beneht to buy some more tough log
tor the sawing kaiser. '
