SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1919 NATIONS RAISE FUND T0 WIN AT OLYMPICS (By United Press.) New York, Nov. 29.—England will :spare “not a shilling” to win premier thonors in the 1920 Olympic games. Such are the reports that'are drift- ing from ‘the British Isles where steps are already being taken to get .a team ready for the Antwerp games. Lt.-Col. A. N. S. Jackson, former -persident of the Oxford university athletic club, and who served with .distinction as a battalion commander .of the Royal Riflles in the war, is the prime mover in the preparations. He recently recommended the rais.- qing of a $500,000 fund to train the British team. He outlined plans for the erection of a training camp, the -employment of competent instructors .and trainers and accommodations -that would encourage the best ath- letic talent of the kingdom to try for ‘places on the team. France is figuring on assembling ~valuables to pawn for an olympic fun. Sweden has already subscribed several thousand dollars for the pur- +pose and in many of the smaller na- tions organizations have been named to handle the teams. In America, however, nothing has been done to ‘get the team ready that every na- tion has resolved to beat. "THE HIGHLAND FLING'S ) THE THING IN ABERDEEN (By Mail.)—Highland but Aberdeen ‘lassies may have their fling, -“*jazzing”’ isn’t suited to a Kkilt. The Marquis of Aberdeen has been :appealing to the girls here not to be led into the “perneecious” dances which hold sway in London town. He «leplores that form of dancing and is «out for the continuation of the good «©ld hielan’ fling, with its crossed :swords, bare knees, sporran and Kkilt .complete. “Don’t take my word for it,” said Lord Aberdeen. ‘“Take the word of any wise mother or good doctor about ithe modern dance. They will say it is unsuitable, undesirable, unbecom- ing and ungraceful. 1 hope if it :shows its ugly face in Aberdeen it will be stamped out.” The hielan’ lassies replied, ““Och hai!” and evinced a marked prefer- ence for the bare-kneed fling to the bare-faced “jazz.” So everything in Aberdeen’s “a “richt the noo,” and Harry Lauder won’t need to seek other inspiration «for his songs. TEN KILLED IN FESTIVAL. Tokio—(By Mail.)—The dense mass of merrymakers at the Nichi- ren festival at Omori was suddenly -changed into a horrified throng when three tramcars dashed into its midst. Ten persons were killed and others were seriously hurt. The motorman and conductor of the train are being held on man- slaughter charges. The festival attracted unusually ‘large numbers due to prosperity in the gay quarters. New Power Is Wanted. In the field of research in connec- <tion with automobile underwater tor- -pedoes, there needs to be developed a -new source of power, said Rear Ad- amiral Ralph Earle, U. S. N,, chief of the bureau of ordnance, at a recent ‘meeting of the American Chemical so- ciety. The present source is com- pressed air and the new source must ‘be of greater potential per unit vol- ume and weight and be nearly as eafe to handle and store on board ship. ~Oxygen has been pronosed but is too ~dangerous to handle. LOOKING THE PART. “That eldest son of yours is going .around with a portentous frown on his face, Uncle Aleck. Has he got a grouch about anything in particu- lar?” “Not as I know of.

BULL GAVE HIM THE IDEA Unfriendly Act of Irritated Animal Brought Fame and Money to Mas- sachusetts Inventor, Nearly 120 years ago, according to legends that are still audible in the admirable region known as West Millbury, Asa Kenney, a busy and worthy resident of that section of the town, was roughly tossed over a stone wall by an irate bull. As a result of that sudden and sue- cessful flight through the delicious air of West Millbury so long ago, ‘there was developed an industry that was Millbury’s boast for many years. In fact, it was Millbury’s pride for the entire century that the industry lasted and it was for quite a spell Millbury’s monopoly. It was the famous industry of manufacturing brass balls for the tip ends of the horns of bulls, cows and such. The invention was that of Asa Kenney. He invented the useful little nov- elty just as soon as he was able to be out of bed and the first creature to receive a brass decoration on the tips of his wicked horns was the same frisky bull that sent the investor flying.-—Worcester (Mass.) Tele- gram. Koran Brought Up to Date. It is not surprising that most of the Arab population should be illiterate since the language used in writing and printing is literary Arabic, the very same in which the Koran was com- posed 12 centuries ago. It has been preserved intact. while the spoken tongue has gradually changed, as spoken tongues will. Literary Arabic today is about as much like the an- cient language as Latin is like French. Ninety per cent of the people do not understand the language in which the books are written. An interesting experiment has been begun by Rev. Percy Smith, a mis- sionary in North Africa, who is trans- lating the Bible and the hymns of the church into the ordinary speech of the people, instead of in Arabic.—Christian Herald.

L, that complete cures of leprosy are being made at the Kalihi territorial hospital in that city and that within the last few months 20 patients have been paroled without one recur- rence of the disease. Blood tests of ,the discharged patients have revealed : o R0 trace of the leprosy germ. Chaulmoogra oil, obtained from the seeds of the taraxogenes Eurzil, for 50 years knowu as the specifi¢ for leprosy, is the only medicine use{ fr effecting the cures at the Kalihi tos- pital, the oil having been perfectelr for the treatment by a refining process " discovered by Dr. A. L. Dean. profes- sor of chemistry and president of tne University of Hawali. Dr. Harry T. Hollman, formerly in charge of the leprosy investigation station, became con- vinced that chaulmoogra was of great value in treating leprosy, but to obtain results it was necessary to administer large doses for a period of many months. Doctor Hollman decided that if the oil could be reduced to its esren- tial properties it would be much more effective. The laboratories of the University at Kalihi hospital. of Hawali are refining all the ofl used . AR literary | for trial packuge.

Such conditions you can readily overcome, and prolong life by taking the ad- vice of Dr. i Pierce, which is ‘“keep the kidneys in good order.” “Avoid too much meat, alcohol or tea. Drink plenty of pure water, preferably hot water, before meals, and drive the uric acid out of the system by taking Anuric.”” This can be obtained at almost any drug store. Send a bottle of water to the chemist at Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., and you will receive free medical advice as to whether the kidneys are affected. When your kidneys get slug- | gish and clog, you suffer from backache, sick-headache, dizzy spells, or twinges and pains of lumbago, rheumatism or gout; or sleep is disturbed two or three times a night, take heed, before too late.
