100000 LEPERS NOW
IN THE WORLD
Dread Disease lnCurable and
on the Increase.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Virtually adj
hitting the incarability of leprosy
declaring that the disease is conta-
gious from person to person, that
every country, in whatever latitude,
should isolate those suffering from
the disease; that children of leprous
parents should be separated from
them at the earliest possible moment,
and that lepers should not be allowed
in certain trades or occupations, reso-
ultions were adopted by the second
international conference on leprosy
held in Bergen. Norway, August 16 to
10 last
A report of the conference has
been made public by the public health
and marine hospital. The report was
prepared by DR.. Donald H. Currie, of
the public health and marine hos
pital service and director of the lep-
rosy investigation station at Melokai,
Hawaii. one of the official delegates
from the United States.

Cannibal Protests.

The cannibal chief growled I'M
pleasantly as he arose from the table
What is wrong, your majesty?'
stammered the frightened chef.
Just this" replied the enraged
ruler. There's going to be an inter-
national rumpus of heroic dimensions
if they send us any more missionaries

WOMEN'S WOES
Americas Women Are Finding Relief
at Last.


at Last.
1t does seem that women have
more than a fair share of the aches
and pains that affiict humanity; they
must keep up" must attend to du-
ties in spite of constantly aching
backs, or headaches, dizzy
spells, bearing-down pains; they must
stoop over, when to stoop means tor
.ture. They mucst walk and bend
and work while suffering from
kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ
of the body. Keep the kidneys well
and health is easily maintained Read
of remedy for kidneys only that
helps and cures the kidneys and is
endorsed by people you know.
Mrs. l. NJ. Cobb, 500 Forsyth street,
Americus, Ca, says: Il was subject
to headaches and pains through the
small of my back for some time and
often went for days without getting
relief. l was finally advised to try
Doan's Kidney Pills and procured
box at Dodson's Pharmacy. The re-
suits of their use were so gratifying
that l procured another box and since
that | felt a great deal better Doan's
Kidney Pills removed the pains in my
back and my kidneys are now much
stronger. l sb&si continue taking this
remedy and have no hesitation in rec
ommending it to other persons

LeperS Number 100000.

A somewhat startling prevalence
and widespread distribution of lepro-
sy is indicated by statistics furnished
by delegates to the conference, there
being approximately 100000 cases of
the disease throughout the world The
fact must be kept in mind, it is point
ed out, however, that in a comparative
ly large percentage of cases the dis
ease is recognized in the early stages
and further, that concealment of cases
probably exists to a greater or less
extent in every country on the globe
which adopts any measures looking
to the isolation of such cases.
India, it is stated, holds the worlds
record with 97,34O cases; Japan fol-
lows, with 10000 cases. One hundred
and forty-six cases in the United
States, and the Canal Zone show the
minimum, Z cases.

IN GEORGIA HAS
COOK, THE EXPLORER.
North Pole Hero Has Relatives in
Athens.

Athens, Ca, Sept 20-Dr. Freder-
lex A. Cook, the discoverer of the
North Pole, has relatives in Athens.
Mrs. Rehen Nickerson, Mrs. D. P. Has
elton and the children of Mrs. Hasel-
ton, are cousins of the famous ex
plorer. While they have never seen
DR.. Cook, they were aware Of his ex-
petition to the North Pole months
before it was given out to the world
that he was in search of the pole The
explorer had told Mr.. Willet F. Cook
of New York of his intended expedi-
ton and DR.. Cook confded it to his
sister, Mrs. Haselton of this city. 1t
was kept secret on account of the de-
sire of the explorer for it not to be
known unless he succeeded in his
quest. Naturally Athenians are
staunch advocates of the claims of
DR.. Cook.

Search for Cure Favored.

The resolutions, after declaring
that the clinical study of leprosy in
duces the belief that it is not incura-
BILE, and that at present a certain cure
is not possessed, express the desira-
bility of continuing the search for a
specific remedy with the greatest
zeal.
Every country, in whatever lati-
tude it is situated" the resolutions
continue, lis within the range of pos
sible infection by leprosy, and may,
therefore, usefully undertake meas
ures to protect itself
In view of the success obtained in
Germany, Iceland, Norway and Swe-
den, it is further declared, it is de-
sirable that other countries should
isolate lepers.

THE WEALTH IN ENDEAVOR.

Was there ever a greater delusiou
IMAM that OF one who thinks his ia
Tiers fortune a blessing, when he
never earned a penny of it by his
own effort? 1t is only a premium of
laziness. II makes ones own deuel-
opment into manhood more unlike
ly. 1t furnishes him crutches. instead
of teaching him to walk ALONE. 1t
means the arrested development of
his own powers for achievement a
paralysis of his own efforts.
The money we make in our yoca
ton is small part of the pay for
the endeaYor. The education we alb
sorb in getting it, the discipling of
the mind by solving intricate prob
lens, the constant exercise of the
judgment in discriminating and
weighing, the planning, the adjust
ment of means to ends is infinitely
more important.
The worlds great doors know
very well that If you are not making
a manly or womanly struggle TO es-
tablish place for yourself, there is
something wrong; either you have
not the ability or you have not the
inclination. And human nature is so
