INDIA's FATHER DAMIEN.
Work Among the LePers That Has ~
ready Produced Good Results.

WoFA among the LeperA TN -
ready Produced Good Results.
Valuable work is being done by de-
voted Catholic priests among the lepers
OF Burmah, says the London Times.
The annexation of Upper Burmah in
1886 revealed a terrible need for succor
to this unhappy class Bishop Simon,
r. c., addressed the officials on the
subject within two years after the coun-
try passed under British rule, but 1t
was not until 1891 that Father Johann
Wehinger was able to found the St
Johns Leper asylum on a grant OF six
acres near Mandalay.
In Burmah lepers are not forbidden to
frequent public places and are not sep
arated from their families, as in India.
They lie at the gates of the temples, in
the food bazars and on the sides of the
bridges, where they expose their hid
eously mutilated limbs to excite com
passion and obtain aims An asylum
for these miserable objects was hailed
with gratitude In two days after 1t
was opened the wards were crowded
and new buildings had to be com
menced
Father Wehinger has made the insti-
| tuition a model for all leper asylums-
with a perfect system of hygiene and
measures for the alienation or even
curative treatment of the disease. sep
arate wards for the unaffected children
OF lepious parents and a vernacular
school for their education. During last
year 600 lePers were on the rolls and
the demand for fresh wards gfew ur-
gent. Father Wehinger came to the
end Of bis resources All that self
denial and devotion could achieve he
has accomplished.
| He is now. we believe. in England
seeking aid to enable him to go on with
his work 1t Is work which can most
effectively be done by celibate Dreth-
rem, without the responsibility of wife
or possible children to whom the dis
ease might be communicated Johann
| Wehinger is the Father Damien OF
| India.

Kentuckisn Of the older school. Il was
about ten days after the election news
had been received from Kentucky, and
the Kentuckian's brow was not crown
trary. 1t was swathed in heavy gray
clouds. It may be explained here that
the reporter was not in that locality
after drink, but after a man who was
after a drink AS he stood talking to
him, his attention was attracted by the
Kentuckian's talk to the barkeeper, who
had showed a well-worn black bottle
out in front OF his customer.
Take IL away" said the Kentuck-
ian, gloomily, with funereal wave of
his hand.
What's the matter with it?" asked
the surprised barkeeper. IT'S the
same Kentucky brand you've been
using for years"
Il know It," he said, regretfully,
but ever since Kentucky went repub-

A woman's headaches may come from
several causes. She may have head
ache arising from nervousness, or from

characteristic Of dozen disorders.
Thousands of times women have been
treated for the wrong disorders. DR..
