THE HORSE TRAINERS. LIFE.
IL Is Full of Responsibilities and
Anxfcties.

Anxfcties.
According TO sporting authority, the
life of a horse trainer is about as little
10 be envied as that of anx4lmortal. In
the excitement consequent to big race
the jockey is the hero of the ihour. and
never a thought is bestowed on the
trainer. to whose fostering care both
horse and jockey owe the burst of en-
thusiasm that invariably proclaims VIC
tory. The jockey has the bays, the
trainer none. The responsibility and
anxiety felt by the jockey whenhe rides
a Derby-winning favorite is but drop
in the ocean compared with that which
weighs on the mind of horses trainer.
The Jockeys troubles are over within
the space of few fleeting moments,
but the trainer who has crack in his
charge knows no peace of mind for
months. Sleepless nights are frequent
ly his portion. He never can tell from
one to another what may happen. BE
the horse ever so sound. he cannot tell
when an accident may destroy all hope
of success. and bitter must be his ex-
perience when he sees victory slipping
from his grasp. If the horse be a deli
cate one, with slight suspicion of be-
ing not quite right in his wind, or un-
certain on his legs, and the winter be
hard one. the trainer has a weary and
unhappy time of 1t, and it must be with
q feeling of intense relief that he de-
livers the horse fit and well on the
eventful day of the big race.

Dewey a "Master of Military Science

Neither Harvard nor Yale con-
ferred any degree on Dewey. Two
smaller colleges have done so, and
have made him Doctor of Laws, an
honorary title, bnt one eminently I'M
fitted for a man of his profession.
Probably he will be prouder of the
degree, Master of Military Science,
conferred by Norwich university,
than Of any similar honors that have
come to him. That little university
is the only one in the country that
can properly confer that degree. 1t
is the institution which he attended
years ago, and where he acquired his
first military training. 1t has a rep
utation as broad as the nation. Its
honor roll is long and brilliant one.

Fevers.

More or less fever generally accompa-
mics every disease, whether it be OF the
skin, bones or the vital organs. The tenn
perature of the body, when in a normal
condition, is about IS 1-2 degrees Fahren-
heit; but in very severe cases we find the
temperature much higher. Diseases which
depress the system, such as severe shock
or cholera, cause low temperature, W hich
is an extremely dangerous symptom.
Treatment of fevers is dependent upon
the cause, and will be treated under spe-
cial heads. Ask your druggist for Frost

Simple Fever

Is very common, especially in children,
and may be associated with headache,
pain in the back or limbs, cbills, burning
heat, thirst, coated tongue, quick pulse,
loss of appetite and sometimes vomiting.
There is generally restlessness, especially
at night. The cause is often due to errors
in diet. AS rule children are not good
judges OF what they should eat; and many
persons lack discretion in this matter.
Parents should be very careful Of their
children's bowels and keep them in active
condition by means of DR.. Frcsl's Consti-
patton Cure. This will oftentimes prevent
serious sickness and save doctors bills.
Simple fever in children is not, as q rule,
serious; but the child should be given DR..
FIost's Fever Cure every half hour until
perspiration is free, then every two hours.
Give light diet for few days.
DR.. Frost's Remedies are put up in pei
let form, pleasant to take and safe for
children. They contain no dangerous
drugs. At all five drug stores; 25c. per

Despite the traditions and prejudices of

great capacity for good. 1t should be
school of preparation merely Its gradu-
ates would be as helpless without practi-
cal experience as is the young lawyer who
steps from the class room into the court
room. But after he had acquired practical
experimentation he had shown that he
possesses the newspaper instinct-he
would possess great advantage over his
rivals.
All men whose business 1t is to edit
the copy sent into newspaper offices
by correspondents, reporters and others
know what dreadful stuff often comes
to them Sometimes the writers are col
lege bred men: often they tell their sto-
ries well. but there is in their MSS. a
tangle OF ideas and n lack of finish that
impose upon the careful and conscien-
tious editor a degree of difficult work that
taxes his patience.

the hurried conditions under which most
