upper MAN St, Los Angeles, from a num-
Der of stubborn ailments. amofE which
were chrtnic sick-headaches, dyspepsia
ara KINDRED stomach troubles, heart affec-

slider this physician execlled In, SO far as
my case is concerned was in the restora-
tlon OF my eye service. Astigmatism,
coupled with other disorders, was my af-
hictioh In this respect, and, although a
number of well known skilled ocul.sts In
Some OF the larger cities of this country
advised me ] should always have to de-
pend upon glasses, and receive but poor
service even then. DR.. Wong Eim's rem

the use of any artificial help to sight, and
my eyes continue to give such service
both for near work ana distant. as is truly
Wondfrful. To the skill and remedies Of

In arriving at tn. truth of any
important matter it behooves you
to consider we'll its source. Be fair
and candid in your investigation of
what purports to be truth that
you may fully comprehend its true
merits.
Now what desire is that you be
not deceived, or in any way led as
tray through prejudice, as to the
wonderful cures of nearly all kinds
of disease which mankind is heir to,
by DR.. Wong during the fourteen
years of practice in Los Angeles.
1t should matter little to you
whether you are cured by this treat
ment or some other, SO that you are
permanently cured.
The different kinds of treatment
and the manner in which they are
prescribed is for you to decide.

EARTHQUAKES FORETOLD.
Condition OF Atmosphere Fore
hOdeS Disturbance.

MR.. EDITOR:-An American writer
many years ago advanced the theory
that earthquakes owed their origin to
atmospheric conditions rather than
subterranean. Now. it is a remarkable
fact that the majority of earthquakes
occur during very calm state of wea-
Their. So well established is this coin
cidence to those who have noticed it,
that a peculiarly still condition of the
atmosphere forebodes an earthquake,
although it does not always bring one.
1t would be interesting to know to
what extent these condolences have
been noticed. and what explanation
science offer for them.

OVERTURNED ATHLETES,
Promising Material MARRIED by the Use Of
Improper Training Methods.

Promising Material MARRIED by the Use Of
Improper Training Methods.
The growth of athletics has natural
" increased the number of men who are
compelled TO undergo re pleasures or
trials of training. TO be in the pink of
condition is certainly a grand feeling,
but il the efforts to arrive at this happy
stage are rigorous and of long duration
training must be termed tiresome.
The methods of co:ditioning men
have been brought down to an exact
science. This can be seen every year in
our college crews and football teams,
which are trained to undergo the most
violent exertions without exhaustion,
and yet it is not an easy thing to do by
any means Common sense in not carry
ing rules too far, an insight into hu-
man nature and delicate tact in ham
ding men are all required to make a
successful trainer.
The first principle that should be
hammered into trainers head is the
fact that no two men are alike mentally
or physically, and therefore iron clad
rules cannot be followed with success.
A man who ia inclined to be phlegmatic
and is full blooded needs vigorous treat
ment. He may be safely driven in his
work, and, like dray horse, can be
pushed to the limit every day. On the
other hand, one who is Of nervous
temperament and why in build must be
watched with the utmost care. He is
practically i'll training before the season
begins and must be built up and not
taken down. His diet should not be cur
tailed any more than is meant by the
term wholesome food and every induce
ment made to keep his appetite good
and his sleep sound A rest now and
! then will do him no harm.
Overtraining can generally be detect
ed first by the eye. Men will show il
both in their faces and bodies. The
drawn cheeks, hollow eyes and the shad.
like flatness of the stomach mean, hold
up quickly, OF you lose man. The legs
and arms, on account of their muscular
formation, seldom fall away. Loss Of
appetite, sleeplessness and moody,
sour disposition are symptoms that .
man is growing stale and needs lei

A number of reforms long advocated
in intercollegiate sport have fairly
started, and the tendency to exclude
outsiders from taking a prominent part
in the management seems to have ex-
tended from the football element to the
athletic and cycling sections. Gustavus
T. Kirby, president of the Intercollegi-
ate association, has completed an impor-
tant chapter in the proposed reform.
He has been laboring for months, in
conjunction with Gilman Callamore Of
Harvard and S. Murdoch Kendrick,
University of Pennsylvania, to revise
and amend the constitution and bylaws
affecting athletics and cycling, and the
result has at last been mailed to every
college and university concerned.
The changes recommended are to be
finally considered at a meeting of the
executive committee. Meanwhile the
reforms advocated will be discussed
piecemeal at Yale, Harvard, Princeton,
University of Pennsylvania and the
other institutions, big and little, whose
athletic prestige may be affected. --ES'

Side Bets on Corbett.

1t is doubtful if the side bet on the
Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight will exceed
81. 500 a side. Al Smith very sensibly
advised Corbett not to persist in raising
the wager and so handicap himself with
self appointed managers. The men who
say that they will back Corbett for un-
limited sums are bookmakers. If Cor.
bett accepted the proffered aid of these
men, he would not benefit l cent, even
il he won. They would want everything
in sight and besides would also want to
direct the training operations of the
men. II Fitzsimmons means business,
