There is a host of pills, powders, tab
let's and what-not for rheumatism, burt
they all lack the first essential to being
a natural medicine. To begin with,

only be reached by irrigating the en-
tire blood supply with a naturally as
slmllatlVe anudote. True, the pains
may De eased with narcotics or the
ACIDS may be neutralized for the time
belng with other acids. But these merely
temporize and do not even lead to a
cure. There is but one standard rheu-
matism remedy, and it reflects the best
tthought of the day. 1t Is prepared in

Starvation has been advocated by

THORPE was hardly a good

term, and he was far from a good
Indian i'm the traditional sense.
Captain, coach and regulars were
well aware Of the fact, and on the
way to the Quaker City eXscted a
promise from Jim that he would
sit tight on the cart al least until
after the game. Shortly after the
team arrived, his absence was
noted, and a search instituted He
was rounded up finally and an eX-
animation showed that he was
strongly fortified with wet goods
As a matter of precaution, he
was Invested OF such as was ac-
cessible and then locked in a room,
to be held until time to dress for
the game. Care was taken to see
that no telephone connection could
be had with the outer world, and
his bodyguard retired. Things were
moving along very nicely-at least,

a : near as government stats
~ tics, parental reCollections and
mural tracings show. James
Thorpe, prominent citizen and ath-
leta extraordinary, made his Off
cial entry into the tribal life of the
Sac ana Fox some % years ago,
on their reservation in the vicin-
ity of Sprague, Okla. Other than
this information. there is little to
show that Jim gave any promise
in his boyhood and youth OF de-
veloping into a world wide charac-
ter.
on the other hand, it appears
that he exhibited much the same
proclivities. for robbing birds
nests, treating the tribal CANNES
to an occasional touch of high life,
and cutting up high jinks generally,
as were characteristic of his com
panions.
In spite of these facts, however,
Jecms has no doubt been the source

not even excepting the great T. r.
himself, for the past few weeks at
least! In fact, since the time when
some energetic scribe stumbled onto
the information that the said
Jeems had received pecuniary re-
wards for his ability to make a
baseball perform puzzIing antics
before the bewildered gaze of OPP
posing batsmen.
In fact, he has attained the en-
viable position In which that great
horde of Il Knew Him When" per
formers apologies to o. B. Keeler)
suddenly issues forth with re-
counts of his past performances.
THERE is. however, in Atlanta,
one man who is qualified to pass
around the dope, from first hand
information. Charlie Wahoo, well
known in Atlanta sport circles, is a
good personal friend Of the big ath-
letic marvel, and, if closely ques-
toned. will admit that he has been
a participant in some of Jim's es-
capades.
Thorpe entered Carlisle while
Wahoo was still in school. and sew
eral of his stunts still stick in the
latter's memory One of the most
interesting took place on the oc-
casion Of visit of the Indian foot
ball team to Philadelphia for one
of its annual games. At that time
Thorpe's prOwess was not nearly so
well known as at present. and he
was not a regular on the team.
However, he was scheduled to play
a half in the game.

Head Hunters of tho Philippines.

Curiously enough, the head hunting
peoples Of the Philippines are appar-
emily limited to northern Luzon. None
of the warlike hill tribes inhabiting
other parts of the archipelago are
known to take the heads of their Vic
Tins The explanation of their head
hunting customs which Is given by the
Negrltos Of northeastern Luzon is very
simple. They believe that each family
must take at least one head year or
suffer misfortune In tho form of sick
ness, wounds, starvation or death.
Their victims are always beheaded
with bolos. Heads are buried in the
ground under the houses" of the men
who take them. Plates or ollas are
placed over tho spots where the heads
are buried and possibly contain Offer
ings to evil spirits. The houses" under
which heads are buried are then aban-
doned and their supposedly fortunate
owners look forward to a period free
from death, sickness or injury and to
success In their hunting and fishing

Fortune telling is almost as old as
the human race. We have no knowl-
edge of the time when or place where
It originated. We only know that tho
practice was in vogue as far back as
we can go. Some claim that It had its
beginning with tho Chaldean astrolo-
gers, who claimed that they were able
to foretell the future by aid of the
planets. Tho Oldest Of the nations
were familiar with tho practice, and
by the gypsies It has been carried all
over the world. It is perfectly natural
for man to want to know about tomor-
row and next year, and Il required but
little effort on his part to listen to for
tune tellers. To this day tho business
is carried on with profit by the gypsles
