KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLE CAUSES
 GREAT DISTRESS

It gives me great pleasure to rec ornmend Dr. Ki1mer's Swamp-Root to any one suffering from bladder , trouble.
 For four years was troubled by henorrhages from the bladder and was not able to get any doctor who Ecou1d help inc. was in such shape that sleep at night was impossible on account of distressing symptoms. While bending over I would be strick- en with such a pain that 1t was inn possible for me to straighten up. MT Henry. one of our leading druggists, ba.dvised Dr. KiImer.s Swa1s1p-Root. all though I never had any faith in pa tent medicines, as a last resort I pur- chased a dollar bottle of Swamp-Root noticed a decided change and after kuAng two bottles was completely cured. It seemed remarkable that I should be cured so quickly after be- E4ng i'll so long. But since this took kpIace nearly two years ago, I have knever been troubled and would high Ely advise any one suffering from the IsaIne trouble to at least give Swamp ERoot trial and think the results Twill be the same as mine.
 ours very truly,
 THOMAS A. BENNETT Greensburg, Indiana

25,O0O PRISONERS
 IN BRITISH ISLES
Civilians and Soldiers Got Into Fight Over Question
 of Bravery.

London, Dec. 8-An Investigation of the detention camps at Newbury, F'rimley, the Olympia in London, and Douglas, Isle of Man, where German aAld Austrian prisoners are held by the Brf1ish Government, shows that in these camps there are nearly 14.00o prisoners The number throughout the British Isles is about 25, 900.
 There is discomfort and d1scontent, but the prisoners are not subjected to genuine hardships. With the coming Of cold weather the suffering among those compelled to live in tents is keen, for the tents are not heated. They are being abandoned. however, and in fortnight more all prisoners will be under permanent cover
 Several thousands will be placed aboard nine ships, which are being prepared for the purpose Some or &hesesships are liners which have peen s in the Atlantic service
 Medical reports show the health of the prisoners to be good. The treat nnent accorded them, so far as food and accomn odations are sconcerneds Is virtually the same as that afrorded the British soldier
 In these four camps there have been only ten deaths. Five of the prison CTS were killed by the guards during tl,e recent rioting at the camp at Don zlas. Four deaths were due 10 4aadl1ral causes, not related with the yieors of confinement. The tenth death was an accident, a. German soldier being thrown from motor truck
 If the prisoners need clothing they are given good apparel including heavy overeoats, suits. shirts. under clothes. socks and army boots. as well as necessary toilet articles 4 similar outfit could hardly be purchased in New York for $35.
 Prisoners are allowed all posSlpde Sltherty. Football and other games may be played except at the Douglas camp. where privileges were curtalIed E on account Of the riot. Infractions of cannp discipline are punished by con-, 41rres,nent on bread and water.
 Military prisoners diers and sail ors-are kept in separate camps from fine civilians It was found that they could not get along together At Frfn11ey there was the beginning of a. nitched battle over a discussion be- tween civilians and soldiers as to aaravervs the civilians accusing the soldiers of having surrendered and the soldiers accusing civilians of fearing fo 70 to the front and shirking their .1lrty. British soldiers inteTyened with bayonets and brought the matter to an end.

in the Catholic calendar this is the FenAt Of the Immaculate Conceptiop, whach was first made p definite dogma Of the church by a proclamation Of Pope Plus K. sixty years ago today Dec. g. 1854 The doctrine was formu- lated xar1v in the history of the church. but it remained q matter of 4eontrov,ersy until the middle of last century, While this ptous belief was held by a great majority of the teho- logians of the Roman church, and was strenuoslsfy maintained, there were many doubtexs. especially among the Dom infcans, who denied it. A num- Der Of popes had been appealed to to decide the disputed point, but until the tfnne of Pope Plus K. they held that 1t was an article of faith on which the members of the church were free to use their individual tu deynnent After a discussion which had continued through many cen- t1zrAee. Plus K at last, decided in fav- or Of tz1e doctrine and since then it has been an essential article of the Caxho1ic faith

CHARACTERISTIC ANEcDorEs
 OF HANS, wAGNEH.

Ihe following ecdotes are g1eaned from a, large number which appear in the Special Hans Wagner issue of the Baseball Magazine!
 Wagners dislike for fancy clothing IS well known. I have seen the mas zslve Teuton lounging in the sweIlest hotels with a gray flannel shirt and no sign of a necktie, while the fash 1onables were trooping by. Eccentri- city? No---Honus doesn't pose as an eccentric Boorishness, ignorance of etiquette? Not that bird, for Hans Wagner is as pleasing and courtly a gentleman as anyone could hope to meet. Presswork. publicity stuff :? He does not need any. He is as inde- pendent as he is powerful; as solid and determined in mind as he is in body, and he dresses as he darn p1eases. He is Hans Wagner, and he is worth five or six dressy dudes that look in agony upon his tieless fan nels.
 At that when you catch Wagner, force him into glad rags, and put him in a parlor, he's .pippir1 He com rnands attention and gets respect, even before folks know him for the great ball player. One night at Hot Springs, Wagner. correctly clad, a splendid picture of strength and man ly perfection, was listening to the music in the big ballroom. Sitting
 
 who has his millions, all won by hust- ling every minute of his business hours This man, who did not know Hans Wagner, was studying the ball players general makeup. Finally. turning in his chair, the rich man ex- claimed, Who the devil is that man He's the sort of fellow I'd like to have working for mel Bulldog; fighter; thinker; learn a trick and never lose it; honest as the day iss 1ong-I wish T had him.s Say, Bill, who is he?''
 Hans Wagner, MT. - an sWered, strangling a grin The mil. Ionaire took another long, long look '7so that's. Wagner. hey?'' he mur- mured. Now I understand why he has his reputation!''
 If there is anything that delights a crowd it's to see Hans Wagner strike out, especially if the feat is perform ed by some kid pitcher. Perhaps I am wrong, but it has seemed to me, on several occasions, as if Honus de- sliperately struck out just to give the crowd a, ration of gIee and flatter the youngster on the slab. When the Pirates are safely ahead, and some young hur1er has been sent to the hill by the losing foe, Hans actually seems to strike out far oftener than at any other time and it always look ed to me as if he did so=always maI- ing a terrific wild swing at the last one-just through goodheartedness. And how the crowd always wells and bellows in sheerest ecstasy! And how the kid pitcher swelIs up and hugs himself, while he thinks of the glory that is his-the joy of telling every. body, to the latest day he lives, about the time he struck out Hans Wagner Aand made him miss the big one by a mile!
 Of course, all these strikeouts may be aceidental. and the old boy may be- trying-but why is it that you will so often see Wagner miss three under such circumstances. while it's blamed seldom you'll see him fan in a tight game, with men on, and some star pitcher working against him.
