Doctors are often wrong.
The local doctor is an overworked indi
vidual He hurries from a case OF scar
letina to a case of diabetes and from that
to the amputation Of a leg. He must act
uuickly-sometime hurrediy. It is not
strange that he makes an occasional mis-
take. But mistakes are dangerous and
should be avoided.

KIPLING IMPROVING.
Temperature and Pulse Now But Little
Above the Normal

New York, March 3.-Rudyard Kipling
continues to improve rapidly. His condi-
ton is satisfactory in every way, but one
bulletin was issued to-day at LBS p. M,
which was as follows:
"Mr. Kipling has continued to improve
so that to-day his temperature and pulse
are little above normal"
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr.. Kip
ling is extremely weak and that absolute
rest and quiet has been ordered by his
physicians, the English authors nature is
such that even in his present condition he
is permitted to entertain himself with
newspaper now and then.
There Is only one shadow to Mrs. Kip
lings complete joy at her husbands re-
covery and that is the illness of her two
little daughters with pneumonia. Both
children are doing very well considering
the nature of the disease.
Tonight DR.. Durham, who is still in con-
slant attendance, said:
Mr.. Kipling continues to improve He
is out of danger. We can not say when he
will be able to get out and we only know
that we, his physicians, will take no
chances

BIRMINGHAM WINS
GLORIOUS VICTORY
Defeated NaShviIIe's Basket Ball
Team in Splendid Time.
FINAL SCORE WAS 10 TO 7
This Was the First Game For the Cham
pionship of the South-The Con-
test Was Exciting All the
Way Through.

It was a glorious victory that Birming-
ham won last night in its first game for
the basketball championship of the south,
and victory which it earned most credit
ably. Eighteen to seven was the score
which set the basketball fiends of Biz
mingham wild, and was also the gloomy
news which the Nashville boys had to
send back to the crowd which was wait
ing in the Nashville gymnasium to get the
bulletins on the game
1t was a clean, hard-fought game all the
way through, and as far the game itself
was concerned there was not single dis
pute or accident to mar the pleasure OF
the game. When Underwood made Bir-
mingham's first goal, the crowd fairly
went wild, and from then on every good
play on both sides was applauded vigor-
ously. The visitors were given most
generous reception. The score at the end
of the first half was SIX to six, with both
sides playing like Trojans.
At the opening of the second half, Biz
mingham began to get in its heavy work
and its men kept the ball under their goal
almost continually. They made twelve
points during this half, while Nashville
made only one.
To criticize the individual playing of the
men is difficult. Birminghams guards,
Underwood and Biddle, deserve probably
the most credit for keeping Nashville's
score down, which they did to perfection.
Not once during the game did they have
clear throw for the goal. Biddle was
a general favorite, but was too busy watch
ing his man to make goals. Underwood,
besides smothering Sawrie, Nashvilles star
goal thrower, still found time to make
three goals. Bradford, McDonough and
Ferguson Brmingham's center and for
forwards, played hard, steady games, Brad
ford making one goal, McDonough three
and Ferguson two.
Captain Eubanks played Nashville's best
game, and in spite of Biddle he made two
very difficult goals from the field and one
from foul. Brown, center, made Nash
ville's other goal, and he, as did all the re-
mainder of the Nashville men, played a
clean, stubborn game but their work didn't
seem to count.
The line up of the teams as they played
against each other last night, also the po-
stions and weights of the men. are as fol-
lows
Birmingham-Bradford, c., $50; Ferguson
(captain), r. f., 40; McDonough, !. f., 1885,

and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. ]. c. Orms, of 220
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that I
think your remedies are wonderful.

Since taking your remedies am better

gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh.
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred Thousand ailing
