Hinton, Ky., Nov. 28 (Special) It has long been claimed that Diabetes is incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thompson, teacher in the Hinton school, has pleas ing evidence to the contrary. Mr. Thompson had Diabetes. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In a statement he makes regarding his cure Mr. Thompson says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for more than two years and was treated by two of the best doctoi s in this part of the state. They claimed I had Dia betes and there was little to be done for me. Then I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they did for me was wonderful. It is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills that I ana now enjoying good health." Many doctors still maintain that Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a kidney disease and the kidney disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure has yet to be discovered.

Boys and girls of nine or ten years are married in that country, with the consent of their guardians. In some sections laws hare been passed prohibiting the marriage of girls under fourteen. ' .

Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, who has been a member of the British House of Commons more than forty years, will leave public life and may be offered a peerage. In the fall of 1895 I-contracted that fear ful disease, Blood Poison. It gained such head way that I was forced to resign my rxsition and seek relief at Hot Springs. After spending all the means I had I w.ut to Memphis. Ia less than three weeks I was in a hospital, and after nine, weeks of suffering I was discharged as cured. In less than a month every Done in my body seemed to be affected and felt as if they would break at the least exertion. Again I was compelled to resign, and I returned to the hospital for a seven weeks sjay. When I came out I was advised to try farming. When I first went on the farm I prevailed on the only firm who handled drugs to get me one dozen bottles of S. S. S. At that time both of my hands were broken out with blisters and I was covered with boils and sores. In the meantime my drupgist had gotten two dozen bottles of S. S.S. for me and I began its use, and after taking the thirteenth bottle not a sore or boil was visible. R. B. PowEIA. East 9U1 St., Little Rock, Ark.

V, ri t-'f 5iS5s town of Vigo, population 10,000, Is at the entrance bay f or It Is rather a series of bays than one, extending some eighteen miles Inland, In one of which the British Admiral Drake sank the Spanish galleons, after pursuing them to the Spanish coasts. Vigo has a fortress and the town Is surrounded by a wall and trenches. The older part of the town is a picturesque Jumble of quaint, white walled, red roofed houses, rising up and up over against each other and a background of rocky greenery. These roofs are a study In themselves, looking over each other's heads, into each other's windows, and almost down each other's chimneys, all balconied and galleried, and often beautified by. climbing plants. Fish and wine are the town's staple? Industries. Among the many pictures in Vigo life, one is perhaps most struck wifctf that formed by its female population. An excellent cure for sore throat is to eat a baked orange Just before re tiring for the night. Few people, except trained nurses, know that a restless patient 1b made much more comfortable if the corners of the under sheet are carefully pinned to the under side of the mat tress with safety pins. Draw the sheet tight and pin it securely. It will be a relief to you and the suffering patient. Sufferers from rheumatism should dress entirely In woolen clothing, and dust the Inside of their clothing with flour of sulphur. They should abstain from taking beer, acids, sweets, .sugar, or pastry, but should take plenty of milk, celery stewed in milk, or pre pared In other ways, and onions. They should rub the joints night and morn ing with a brine of salt, rubbing It in until the skin Is dry. Turkish baths do much good to rheumatic persons, but, being a severe remedy, should never be tried without first consulting a medical man, or the result may be most Injurious. It is not generally known that cas tor oil may be most easily taken min gled with orange juice, a little sugar being added if the juice of the orange is not sweet. The difference between this and any other mode of taking this valuable medicine is surprising. Into a very thin glass a portion of juice should be squeezed; then the oil should be poured upon this and more juice should be squeezed upon the oil. which may be seen to float In a layer between the two layers of orange juice. If .the edge of ' the glass is rubbed with orange, the fruit will be the only thing tasted as the dose slides down the throat. ATHLETIC SPORTS IN INDIA Men Adepts In Whatever Requires Suppleness and Balancing;. As is only to be expected, consider ing their national diet (currl-bhat), the physique of the natives of India will" not compare with an English man's, though they possess a litheness of form and quickness of eye that we lack, and which makes them among the finest gymnasts and Jugglers iu the world. Such perfect balancing powers have they that, even supposing them bereft of the tenacious grasp of foot possessed by all barefooted races, there would still be left much to ad mire in their skill. No contortion seems too difficult for them, no bar too slight or smooth to be negotiated, no height can try their nerves, and no standing ground appears too small. Even a slip Is of little consequence to such clever tumblers; they seem to have all the climbing powers of a cat. As runners their staying powers is most remarkable; a dakwallab deems the task of running twenty miles a mere trifle. It Is strange that in games pure and simple they do not display the same excellence, though the cricket of the Parsees is meritorious. Of other native pastimes the one which may cause the most surprise is football, as It seems essentially a game fitted for northern climates only. Yet It is not merely played, but played rather ex tensively, considering Its somewhat recent Introduction into the country. Its growing popularity Is still more surprising on aeocunt of the bard na ture of the ground and the heat of the atmosphere, conditions which scarcely favor either the playing or players. Association, the game mors adapted to the Indian climate. Is the coda In general use. The usual rules and reg ulations are in force, but the natives FISHERMEN WERE HALTED resorts of warships, particularly of the two months of every year there. The play barefooted. How amazing Imagine for a moment playing against opponents wearing boots, and yet this it? a common occurrence with these people. 'As footballers they are fafrty fast and have plenty of nerve, but at prea ent they do not quite understand the passing game. However, combination, which is the root of success, is begin ning to dawn upon them, though un fortunately their lack of muscular stamina would tell against them If ever they should chance to encounter an English team of professionals. Some native players are Individually really good, very speedy, very keen, and, what is more important, they pass well and seem to realize the sci entific side of the game. As yet these are few and far between; the kick and-rush game, intermingled with dribbling, Is more common. Still their progress has been remarkable, and with European influence the rest may come. O. B. Fry's Magazine. How Toko's Nerves Were Steadied. Admiral. Togo, commander-in-chief of the Japanese navy, whose prowess as a fighting man has won world-wide praise of late, comes from an old school of Nippon warriors. His naval education is of the best, and he has been trained in every way to be a fearless, calm, and tireless fighter. . In his youth, he and his fellow stu dents at the Japanese naval academy were accustomed to attend an annual banquet. They sat at a circular table around a slowly revolving cannon load ed with a ball and trained to the level of their heads. The trigger was so arranged that it could be touched from a hidden source outside of the banquet hall. That at some time during the banquet the cannon would be fired every one at the table knew; but Just when, or in what direction it would be polntingwas a mystery. Of course, there was a possibility that the ball might crash harmlessly between tha heads of two banqueters, but it was equally probable that it might carry off the head of some student. Yet no one flinched. The chances were equal to all. The picturesque obect of destruction revolving during the jovial hours of the banquet, pointing from student to student, and ready at a given moment to blow any one of them to pieces, was considered in Japan admirable training to steady the nerves of a fighting man. Success. Bought a Farm to Own a Tree. ' All the country knows , Ellhu Root, the lawyer, man of affairs, and cabinet officer, but there are less-known sides to his make-up which are, perhaps, more indicative of the man himself, and which are, too, more Interesting for the very reason that they are less appreciated. For Instance, he is enough of a sentimentalist to have bought a farm that he might own a certain tree. He was born In Cabinet Hall, one of the buildings of Hamilton College, New York, where his father, Oren Root, was a professor. In his boyhood years the two used to take long walks together, and, time and again, on their homeward way, it was under a splen did hemlock on Kirkland Farm that they would rest The hilltop com manded a magnificent view of the Oriskany Valley, across to the Adiron dacks to the north, and often the elder of the pedestrians would aay, as they started on again: "I wish I owned that tree." In the years since there have been many changes at Hamilton and In the country round about, but the old hem lock has remained untouched and the other day Ellhu Root bought Kirkland Farm and the tree which, he declares, has long been a landmark In his life.
