terest physicians and diabetes gener-

Patient, San Francisco business
man, was taken to. the st. Winifrsd
hospital suffering with q gangrened
leg. 1t was an old case of diabetes and
the gangrene had extended so far that
the severance was between the knee
and thigh.
The physician did not attempt the
operation till he had eliminated the
sugar with Fulton's Diabetic Compound.
The consulting physicians felt 1t would
be fatal. but the operating physician
knew what he could do after he had
eliminated the sugar, and proceeded
with the operation.
The fourteenth day the stitches were
removed, the wound showing healthful
pink color. The patient left the hos
pital the fourth week.
The operation was based on the
ability Of Fulton's Diabetic Compound
to eliminats the sugar in diabetes. n

age or over, do you not owe 1t to your
self and family to try Fulton's Diabetic
Compound before giving up. 1t can be

Mr. Miller opened his Blount county
itinerary in Oneonta There he told the
people that if he was elected TO Congress,
he would work for the improvement of
the Warrior and Cahaba rivers. for fed
eral aid to good roads, schools, agricul-
ture and health, for an independent min
Ing bureau for this district, for encourag-
ing of corn and canning clubs. a poultry

things. He told the people that he was
and would be opposed to woman suf-
frage until assurance was given him that
with the assistance of the vote women
would bear better boys In this regard,
he spoke of the position of George Hud-
dleston, ono of his opponents, and read
to the audience a stenographic copy of
iIuddieston's speech before the Alabama
Bar association in which Huddleston
said, II agree with Mr.. Wood that the
right OF suffrage should be extended ir-
respective of race and sex, irrespective of

In regard to Mr.. Kings position on wom-

tending that King had been in favor of
woman suffrage and King contending
that he had not, and asked the people

months old, 3,OO0,O00 victims are homeless. Probably 2,O0O,OOO are to- day seeking bread from the hands of strangers, absolutely destitute, with out money, food or baggage, perhaps without even a change of clothing.
 They have been driven from their homes by invading armies. If fear permitted their return they would find little shelter, no food and no work.
 And these fugitives are not strong men-those are in the armies. They are the old and infirm, the women and the children. They are largely ignorant. They are dazed by their fate and helpless in strange ,en- yironment In countless cases fami- lies are separated, never to be re- united
 Begium, of course, provides the
 most. Since Germany invaded the country there has been an endless
 procession of shrinking wretches
 pouring from every city, village and hamlet, driven forth again and again as the enemy pressed westward. Hol- land, having received half million of them, is closing its doors in help llessness. Nearly a million have drag
 ged wearily into northern France, on ly to join the hordes of French wan derers expelled from their own ruin ed homes. Prussia has it's myriads driven westward by the Russian ad- vance. Bohemia is overrun with Ga licians who fled from the Cossacks.
 In Hungary the population from the
 Carpathian mountains is streaming
 painfully toward Budapest.
 There is no form of Wretchedness
 that these fugitives do not suffer.
 Hunger, cold, thirst, weariness, bod fly pain, unregarded sickness, grief
 for their dead anguish for the suf- fering of aged parents or little chil-
 dren that they cannot help, humilia- tion. hopelessness-thi is the very
 hell of war.
 And the war is just begun! And in the mere volume of ac- cumulating misery there is hope. I The vast, formless flight of refugees is the greatest peace, parade" ever held. Let the world gaze it's fill up on that nightmare procession, and then it will come to it's senses and make an end of the tragedy forever. Nv

TrifIina With the Telephone.

Telephoning isn't what it was. It won't even be what it was very long, if the inventors keep on. One Of them has spent eleven years on the misanthropic job of turning out an attachment to detect the third party who cuts in to listen to a little gos sip. With 9,OOO,OOO party linees in use in the United States, the misery likely to be caused by this single in vention is appalling Worse still, the same mechanism may be set to cut off conversation at the end of a certain number of minutes.
 And do any of us want the see ing by wire" attachment that another of these busybodies has invented! Imagine the embarrassment of the five-foot-man with the timid eyes who
