FIRST GAME
Of Football Won BY S. K. c.
Team.

S. K. G. defeated the H. S. boys
on the South Kentucky field Satur-
day by a score of so. The H. S.
lads were outweighed 20 lbs but
their pluck was admirable. The COL
lege boys took advantage of their
superior weight and rushed touch
down in the first FIVE minutes of
playing. Then the H. S. settled
down to the grind anu played around
their heavier opponents. The col
lege ends were shinted time after
time. More than once was the col
leee goal line in danger. Costly
fumbling worked against the plucky
H. S. boys.
The second half was played al
most entirely in S. K. C. territory.
Twice the H. s. tried drop. kick
which failed. Half-back Meacham
made some stellar runs while Capt.
brought credit to himself
by some pretty tackling. The time
was called with the hole in the H. S.
territory.
Length Of halves 20-15.
Officials Peach and Cunningham.
Time keeper-West.
The H. S. lads deserve great cred
it for their plucky fight on the grid
iron. With six new men in the game
they acquitted themselves with
honor. Though light, they have
plenty of nerve and play a creditaD,e
game. 1t is certainly a feather in
the cap of any H. S. team to hold
college eleven to such a score. Their
next game is with Vanderbilt Train
ing School at Elkton next Saturday.

GETS ILL ON PURPOSE Boston Man Is Dog on Whom
 Certain Medicines Are Tried.

There is a man living in a Boston suburb who makes himself sick in a variety of ways in order that he may test the healing powers of the medi- cines manufactured by the company which employs him.
 Instead of being a shaky wreck from constant indulgence in foods taken purposely to provoke disorders, this vindicator of infants soothing syrups. headache cures indigestion medicines and cold cures is hale and hearty, a stout German past middle age, of studious, phlegmatic temper ament
 His office is one of the best of all at the headquarters of the company that employs him. There are oil paint lngs, soft carpets and Turkish rugs he has library of medical volumes, Windows filled with flowers, and pro- fusion of bottles, glasses and crucibles distributed in the apartment.
 He has a variety of duties. Accord Ing to the Boston Herald he sits in a draught or wanders coatless to entice cold, and then doses himself with cold cures. He contracts a violent headache in order to try the efficacy Of a headache cure which is to be put on the market.
 He acquires the headache by con- cenerating his mind so closely upon one subject that at tue end of few hours the nervous strain produces the pains in the head he has set out to obtain. Then he takes dose of the medicine that is being experimented with, and watches results carefully, noting every effect in a book in or der to make his report upon it.
 Often he has to contract aches that aren't headaches. It may be that a new medicine Is to be brought out Tor indigestion or the scores of dis orders resulting from dyspepsia. The manufacturers desire to make practical test of the formula for thelr own satisfaction. The German tester goes to restaurant late in the evening and gives an order that makes the walters eyes bulge
 l eat a lobster salad, then drink milk. which is usually prohibited with such salad" he says, cheerily, in telling about it. ITO make it more certain l have vinegar mixed with the milk, and follow 1t all with a Welsh rabbit. After that, the only thing I nave to do is wait for the results.

ChiIdhood's Chosen CoIors,

 Among other things he has ascer- tained that the fayorite color of the savage, red and yellow, are those which white children first take notice of, and of which they remain espe- hood So, too, the savage adult and the white child find a common pleas ure in all bright, shining and glittering things.

They are usually not long in com ing. Soon l have violent pains in the chest, a feeling as of heavy weight lying upon it, with sharp pains shoot ing across my body every second. Of course it is agony while it endures, but take dose of the remedy to re- lieve :S.
 "lf it gives me relief, I note all the circumstances of my sensations to the minutest detail, and if 1t doesn't do the same You have no conception of what a delightful feeling it is to experience the contrast of intense pain and quick relief. 1 know that feeling we'll"
 There are from 75 to 100 drugs mentioned in materia medica for dis orders of indigestion, and the German tester has tried them all
 For an eyewash, he has more than once thrown sand into his eyes to produce inflammation in order to test the wash as to it's relief giving prop critics He even imagines himself a baby occasionally in order to try the infants medicines. He drugs himself by compromising sleeping potion of infants soothing syrup.
 You may say" he explains, that because a thing soothes me it does not necessarily follow that it would soothe a baby, Nevertheless, my re- suits have invariably proved that what was good for me was good for the infant; but of course in milder doses.
 You see, we cannot get a baby to experiment on, even if we desired one, which we don't A baby could not tell its sensations or impressions after it took the medicine, which is neces- sary to the success of the expert ments.'
 The man who voluntarily submits to trying it on the dog" is not at all dense animal, so robust that noth- ing can harm him, and willing from ignorance to sacrifice himself in this strange way He is himself a chem ist. a skillful one.
 That makes him all the more avail able, as he can record with accuracy the sensations before and after talk ing a medicine and the results ob- tained. And of course he knows quite we'll the properties of each remedy he takes. what its effect should be-. how great dose is required and how violent his ailment is.
 How came such man to embrace an occupation that carries with it so many disagreeable features? He will tell you himself that before he got his present berth he was wreck, a victim of chronic indigestion, a wasted shadow of the man he had
