HEED THE WARNING

Many Princeton People Have Done So.
When the kidneys are sick they give
unmistakable warnings that should not
be ignored. By examining the urine
and treating the kidneys upon the first
sign of disorder, many days of suffer-
ing may be saved. Sick kidneys ex-
pei dark, ill-smelling urine, full of
brickdust" sediment and painful in
passage. Sluggish kidneys cause q
dull pain in the small of the back,
headaches, dizzy spells, tired, languid
feelings and frequently rheumatic
twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only; they cure sick kidneys, and
rid the blood of uric poison. If you
suffer from any of the above symp-
toms you can use no better remedy.
Princeton people recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. J. E. Bates, Princeton, Minn.,
says: 81 was victim of kidney COM
plant for a number of years. Ny
back was very weak and I was unable
to stoop without experiencing sharp
pains, which frequently extended from
my back into my head. I had dizzy
spells, was nervous and also had
symptoms of inflammatory rheuma-
tism. My neighbors advised me to
give Doan's Kidney Pills trial and
| did SO, procuring box at the Home
Drug Store. This remedy benefited
me to such an extent that can recon-
mend it highly.''

NERVE MESSAGES.
The Case of Physician Who Allowed Himself To Be Vivsected.

From Pearsons Weekly.
 It is well known that in the pursuit o1 their medicaD studies, as well as in post mortem operations, doctors incur many grave risks; but it has been left to the present time to record the case of a well, known physician submitting himself to vi visection.
 Purely in the interest of medical science is always the inspiring hope that the re- self in the hands of his colleagues for certain investigations with respect to the nervous system. The experiments have extended over four or five years. and have only recently been completed.
 The special object in carrying out the work was to determine the precise func- tion of certain nerves, and to study the various messages of sensation which are constantly passing upwards from the several parts of the body to the brain. The doctor in question submitted him self to the ordeal of removal of portions of important nerves, In order to break the continuity, and thus interrupt the passage of impulses (nerve messages) to and fro. The operations were performed by very eminent surgeon and, of course, the usual anaesthetics had to be admin stered.
 Such a piece of heroism on behalf of his fellow creatures entities this doctor to un- stinted praise. Yet he has insisted that for the epresent his name shall not be made public.
 Courage Is always demanded when one has to face the surgeons knife but there Is always the inspiring hope that the re- suit of the operation will, restore health or prolong life. But in this particular in stance the doctor gave himself up to the ordeal of vivisection purely and simply to benefit his fellow creatures. And to this extent he has become martyr in the science of medicine, for he reports himself still tsuffering from the effects of the operation on his nerves Now. what is 1t that has led to such an un- selfish sacrifice?
 The wonderful system of nerve cords and fibers which send their ramfcations into every part of the. human body, con meet it up as a telegraphc system and unite the whole with the brain. Owing to the very great difficulties which nat urally presented themselves, little be- yond a few elementary facts of the working of the human nervous system has become known

named Sam Howle. They were under the guidance of Physical Director A. w. Brown. J. s. Counselman staid with us few days. Noah our cook, who went with us last year, came with us this time.
 The boys arrived at Valley Head at 9;O2. We had just put our grips in a store when 1t began pouring down rain The tents were not there. They had been sent to Chattanooga by mistake We followed a path which wound around the mountain. When we reached the ton we followed road for 200 yards until we came to rock. From this rock we had a delightful view of the country around We could see Sand mountain. eight miles distant. MT. Brown engaged a man to carry the grips to the home of C. H. Mormon, state secretary for the Y M c. A. for Alabara and Mississippi We ar rived at camp about } o'clock and ate our dinner. We put I'D our tent and got us a place to sleep. That night it rained and some of the boys got wet.
 The next morning some of the boys got up early to view the place. The camp was located within POO yards of the DeSoto river at a convenient place between the mill dam and the falls. The twin rataracts were the first thing that met the eye as you get to the river, but after going q path 8 little way you

fine for swimming and the boys could not resist. So Tuesday they had to pay the penalty by not going in swimming; but some managed to fall in while fishing. l don't think anybody slept the first night because of unaccountable pranks. About midnight two of the boys, Pugh and Watson, awoke and discovered it was raining and a stream of water was flow ing under them. The boys had forgotten to build a trench around the camp. There was no sleep for the rest of that night by some but l managed to sleep, how ever The boys were up by dawn and ready for cold duck. Some were un- willing, but the mention of mo break fast brought them to their senses. Noth- ing of importance happened on Tuesday except that there was plenty of nshing and no fish. On Wednesday ball game was arranged between Birmingham and Chattanooga, in which we were defeated by score of to 3.
 Sam Howe was in the box for us. but he was a little wild, and he was removed and MT, Counselman took his place. Gee, but they were trained in chopplng wood, for some chopped out every inning. The next day we were invited to the Chatta- nooga camp, where we had fine time. There was an athletic meet arranged ana William Gilmore came out with first hon. ors, with Hall of Chattanooga close 1ecoud. Friday it rained and the boys

mals many problems of mental and ner- vous action have been elucidated, but unfortunately there has not been any method of comparing human perception and sensation with that which occurs in the lower orders of animal life.
 Opportunity has been afforded of late for Investigating important nerves of the body and limbs, through the large num- Der of accidents taken to our big hospi- tals. Here careful observations have been made and duly recorded for the fu- ture guidance of the medical profession. It has invariably been found that when an important nerve has been cut across there has been loss of sensation and pow CT In the parts which that nerve supplied Consequently all communication with the brain has ceased so far as those parts were concerned
 Hundreds of messages (nerve impuses) are carried to and fro every minute by the many tiny nerves of our bodies, so long as these nerves remain intact; but, like telegraph wires, If one or more are severed. all communications must cease at the point where continuity Is broken.
 For example, take the case of soldier who, in the Boer war, was shot Tn tho right arm, and an important nerve trunk was divided by the bullet. All messages normally carried to and from the brain were stopped at that point, and the exact nature of the injury was, to some extent ascertained by the loss of power and sen sation which followed the gun shot. Sur gical skill is frequently able to bring to- gether the separated nerve ends, and in the course of tine\ complete reunion takes place. But when this reunion cannot be secured there is more or less loss of sen sation and power In those parts of the limb below the injury.
 It is now some little time since the operations were performed on the emi- nent doctor, and so far as experimental science is concerned the results have been particularly successful. On the other hand the doctor is, up to the present time, and to a limited extent, damaged man.
 Although some years have passed and the divided nerves have been joined to- gether, there Is still a definite loss of sensation on the back of his left hand. Yet the record of the experiments in hu- man vivisection will remain a classic study, and has been published in the journal of the Neurological society called Brain.
 What ultimate benefit to mankind is to be derived from these painstaling re- searches into the functions of our nerves The answer is that a. knowledge of func- tion helps us to diagnose and picture to

Down to the river, boys," is the first cry in the morning, when all the boys would have to take a ducking before breakfast, or you would have to do with out any.
 Then would come the good things to eat-for things never tasted better and I could never eat more than on this camp When breakfast was over we would have inspection-that Is, get your grip packed and clean up After that came Bible lesson, which we had to read every day. After this was over some would go fishing, swimming and some would go to town for the mall. There were plenty of huckleberries, if anyone wished to pick them
 The DeSoto falls are about 100 feet high and the largest and prettiest l ever saw Back in the falls is a large cave, where none but a good swimmer can go.
 We took one day off and went to Men, tone to vist the Chattanooga Y. M. c. A. They were on the lake and had very fine camp. We had an athletic contest in which Chattanooga won nearly all Of them, but we had one boy that got the all-round prize for being the best athlete.
 Monday night MT. Norman sent us some raspberries and cream and two kinds of cake which was so good it almost made me sick Then Noah, the cook, would tell us all kinds of ghost stories, and he could beat anyone telling them 1 ever listened to.
 Where we were camping was about two miles from Valley Head, and right on top of the mountain It is something fine. I gained five pounds while there.
 If I had the time I could write more that would interest you.
 In conclusion will say that the only sad time of the trip was the time when we had to break up camp and leave for home but full of hope that we could re- peat the trip next summer.

come to the falls, where they fell 1S0 feet into a deep, broad pool
 Every morning when we arose we had to duck in the river. All those that did not duck could not have any breakfast. There were plenty of fish. Cliff Pugh caught 12, Robert Goodall seven and Har- old Bowron six. Wednesday the Chatta- nooga Y. M c. A. boys played the Y. M. c. A. boys baseball which resulted In the defeat of the Birmingham Y. M c. A. by the score of to 3. Friday the Bir- mingham boys went over to the Chatta- nooga camp and staid all day. An ath- letic contest came off in the afternoon. Chattanooga won the most points, but Willie Gilmore walked off with the ten his rachet, which was the first prize.
 After breakfast came inspections; arter that Bible lesson, led by MT. Brown. :. camp was divided into two teams. The two captains were Willie Gilmore and George Clover. They carried water and cut wood and kept the tent clean. While one team carried water and cut wood the other team kept the tent clean
 On Sunday Mir Brown took us all to church, except Sam Howell, who went 10 the train to meet visitor.
 For our Sunday dinner we had fried chicken, chicken stew and ice cream. After supper MT. Mormon brought us some raspberries and cake.
 .Ionday, we went hucl1leberry hunting. but found more ticks than huckleberries. Tuesday was the last day and everybody was swung in the middle of the river, everybody, including MT. Brown. We packed our things after breakfast. When dinner was over the boys went to Valley Head and staid until 7:30 that night. We arrived in Birmingham at 1928, tired, but happy in the thought that our trip Is to be repeated next year. l suggest that all who like a good time should join the Y. M. c. A. and go on a camp.

that protected him from the Indians still remains, and it is said that the Indians never could have captured him in that fort. It is said that he was searching for silver, but never found any, as we know. The falls are about 100 feet high, with several cascades. Our camp was near these falls The river furnished fine fishing and swimming for us. The first thing that we did in the morning was everybody went to the river and took a cold plunge; then breakfast, then inspec- tion, then Bible reading, then we would do whatever we wanted to do until noon. Some would go to Valley Head, some to Mentone to get a milk-shake, and some would go fishing, but everybody would have to let MT. Brown know where they were going. Everybody had to be back at noon unless special permission was given. l forgot to say that the swimming dates was 10 o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the afternoon; supper about dark, and after supper Noah, the cook, would tell us stories, and they were fine. The best one was about some boys steal ing apples. Every night we would build a big bonfire and everybody was glad to sit around it, because it was cold at night
 We got up early and went over to the Chattanooga camp, which was about two miles from our camp. We had all kinds of contests, the running broad jump the running high jump, the 1OO-yard dash, half mile race. The first prize was one by one of our boys, William G. Gilmore, but second and third prizes were taken by the Chattanooga team. The dinner was something out of the ordinary.
 One day we had special luck in fishing. Sammie caught five and Harold caught four. Robert caught six and Cliff made the biggest catch of all-he caught R-and the other boys caught some few. If there had not been so much rain l know that we would have had better luck every day.
 The morning we broke camp everybody was to be ducked in the river-even Mir. Brown was pitched in. The whole camp couldn't duck Willie, so finally we tied him and poured tub of water on him. We were bound to soak him.
 Valley Head is the best camping place yet. and I hope that we can go there again next year.

The fun started when we boarded the train at the Terminal. As soon as we were under way an observer would have noticed many hands Soiag in baskets and coming out with fried chicken amidst tho smacking of lips. An agreement was made between some of the larger boys and each boy was captured and an imag- mary picture of him was taken by the outlaws for the "rogues' gallery. When we arrived at Valley Head it was raining, and each boy grabbed his bag gage and rushed to the nearest store. The boys then retired to the meat" room to change clothes. We walked up the mountain to the camp, and found two punches of bananas hanging on tree. They did not stay there very long before all the boys complained of being tired" and lay down to rest. We next visited the falls, winch are very pretty indeed. We could not get so near with our clothes on for fear of getting wet before our baggage arrived. The water was very
