TALES FROM INDIA

RANGOON, INDIA, Oct 17.--Spec-
D-Reincarnation, which is a fun
damental doctrine of Buddhism, re-
Gently has presented two cases which
are so extraordinary as to invite the
interest of all foreigners.
A reincarnation of human identity
in human form, although changed in
outward appearance, is called a
NINA" and is usually an ordinary
looking child. The "minzas" in the
present cases are the children of
humble Burmese parents The souls
they are said to possess arr those of
two British officers WHO died at the
time the "minzas were born.
The story of ore NINA" is related
in the Rangoon Times. 1t furnishes
a curious and interesting glimpse of
a phase of Burmese belief. The story
runs:
There is a little blue-eyed, light
haired boy here, between and 4
years old, the son of Woodworking
and matter-of fact Burmese parents
belonging to the laboring classes,
who, until recently, prattled like any
other child of that age.
1.-THE other day he astonished his
mother by insisting that he was the
late Major D. ]. Welsh, Border Regi-
ment, come to life again. He went on
to describe the house where he had
previously lived, the number of po-
MES he had and other personal mat
tiers.
His mother was frightened and
called in the neighbors, to whom the
albino repeated his story, describing
how he and two others-a woman
and a man-were drowned in Meik-
tilla Lake in a boating accident dur
ing a storm at night in March, 1904,
when the three and only occupants
of the boat persisted.
That is the year in which Mrs.
Meade, Lieutenant A. w. Qulnlan
and Major Welsh, the latter two of
the Border Regiment, did lose their
lives in this manner, as cOnse-
quence of emitting to put down the
centreboard of their sailing boat

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles. An Americas Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never SUSPECT their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets is they think it
will soon correct itself And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they lead to diabetes or
Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Americas
people testify to permanent cures.
A. A. Willis, well known farmer,
living just outside of Americus, says:
II believe that your pills are all that
is claimed for them. l had kidney
troubles and backache, from which l
had been sufferer for many years.
After lying or sitting in one position
for any length of time I could hardly
get up on account of the dull heavy
pain in the small of my back At
times I seemed to almost lose the use
of my back, and would have to take
hold of something for support. The
kidney secretions were disordered,
being dark and full of sediment, and
of a strong odor. l used many diff
ferent remdies but without much,
if any, benefit until 1 got Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Since using them my back
feels strong. The pain has left it,
and the kidney secretions have also
been restored to a normal condi-
ton.
You are welcome to use my name
as a reference"

THREE MONTHS LIMIT
GOLD STORAGE FOODS
Probably Unsafe to Lat
Meal Kept Longer.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. II.
(SpeciaD-In a report which he will
make to the next session of Congress
in regard to the nutritive value of
various foods which have been in
cold storage, DIR. Harvey w. Wiley,
Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of
the Agricultural Department, will, it
is believed declare that it is in all
probability unsafe to eat such foods
if they have been kept for more than
three months.
He is about to try some expert
ments in the food line with a side of
beef which has been kept in a re-
frigerator plant for more than four
teen years. He has been conducting
food experiments for the last two
yeaG, but not with such rare speci-
mems as that which he is now about
to bring forth from its hiding place.
Dr. Wiley will not feed this meat
to the poison squad" but it will be
tried on the department dog, which
has long waxed fat on foods general
ly regarded by the world at large as
injurious to health
Dr. Wiley said yesterday, that,
judging by appearances alone, foods
may be kept in cold storage for long
periods without losing anything in
nutritive value; but between the time
they are removed from the ice and
the time they are prepared for the
table ptomaine or alkaloidal bodies
may develop which might make the
foods fatal to the human stomach.

STATES RIGHTS AS
DEMOCRATIC PLANK
SenatOe Frazier Believes
Bryan Is Nom nee.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October IT.
(SpeciaD Zone of the principal
planks of the next Democratic nat
ional platform should contain a
strong protest against the usurpation
of the prerogatives of the States by
the Federal government" declared
Senator James B. Frazier, of Ten
nessee.
Especially during the present adj
ministration the tendency toward
Capitalization has been going on at
a very rapid rate. So marked has
this tendency become that the ques
ton of whether our local self-gov-
eminent shall be preserved might
we'll become one of the prominent
issues of the next campaign. If this
tendency continues, the States will
become mere geographical divisions
of the centralized government
THE trainers of the Constitution
strictly limited the powers of the Fed
eral government and provided that
change should be made only by formal
amendment. The present encroach-
ment of the national power, then,
should be aggressively contested by
the people of the country.
Il do not think there is any doubt
that Mr.. Bryan will be nominated by
reclamation. When he becomes a
candidate he will receive the dele
cation from Tennessee, where he is
admired because of his political views
and personal character. OF course,
Tennessee would not stand for gov
eminent ownership or the initiative
and referendum, but l have personal
knowledge that Mr.. Bryan will not
press these issues"
