An old Cherokee Indian recentb gave away this secret of how the In- ' dians of olden times used to poison ' their arrow heads for war purposes ! or for killing bears. They took a j fresh deer liver, fastened it to a long pole, and then went to certain places where they knew they would find rattlesnakes in abundance. About midday the rattlers are all out o! I their dens, coiled up in the cooking sun. The bucks would poke the first | rattler they found with the liver oc the long pole. A rattler, unlike common snakes, always shows fight in preference to escaping. The snake would thus repeatedly strike at the liver with its fangs until its poison was all used up, whereupon it would quit striking and try slowly to move on. The bucks would then hunt up j another rattler and repeat the performance, keeping up the work until j Che liver was well soaked with snake poison. Then the pole was carried home and fastened somewhere in an ' upright position until the liver be came as urj as a uuue. ine liver was then pounded to a fine powder and placed in a buckskin bag, to be used as needed for their arrows.

BUILT RIGHT Brain and Nerves Restored by Grape* j Nuts Food. The number of uersons whnsp ail. ments were such that no other food could be retained at all, is large and reports are on the increase. "For twelve years i suffered from dyspepsia, finding no food that did not distress me," writes a Wisconsin lady. "1 was reduced from 145 to 90 lbs., gradually growing weaker until I could leave my bed only a short while at a time, and became unable to speak aloud. "Three years ago I was attracted by an article on Grape-Nuts and de ciaeu 10 try it. "My stomach was so weak I could j not take cream, but I used Grape- ; Nuts with milk and lime water.

Worry May Turn the Scale. Dr. Romme asserts that there are Tactically no instances where the trength of both parents is equal. Vorry, illness, any slight trouble, is ufflcient to turn the scale. Kaiser Wilhelm, he points out, had ive sons in succession, while the Izarina had four daughters in succesion. Dr. Romme avers that he is nable to find a single instance in rhich his rule has been transgressed. It is, in fact, a repetition in another arm of Professor Schenck's famous ex theory under which he proposed 3 increase the stamina and the red orpuscles in a parent when the deire was to beget a child of the oppoite sex. Thus the Czarina, wanting male successor to the Russian I hrone, was subjected to Professor I chenck's nourishing treatment, with j n ultimately sucessful result.

Relief Funds Started Throughout South to Succor Homeless. rORTY-SIX TOWNS SHATTERED Death List Pnt at 350?Twelve Hundred Persons Were Hurt, While Thousands Are Homeless?Hundreds of Houses Blown to Pieecs. New Orleans. ? With about 325 newly made graves in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, the dead in the tornadoes in these States is not believed to exceed 350. About 1200 were Injured. Cities on all sides of the tornado belt prepared to ship supplies and money to the homeless. New Orleans sent food to Amite, La., where the supply was practically exhausted. Amite, Purvis and several other I stricken towns were given bad scares by heavy winds, but . the only fatali- 1 ties reported were four negroes killed. The storm was peculiar in that it traveled in circles. It struck Georgia with terrific force for a second time. Floods have followed, and in some cities mills and street car service have suspended. The financial loss will aggregate several million dollars in Mississippi, Louisiana', Alabama and Georgia. 'me totals or aeatns, misery ana ruin caused in four Southern States by the tornado have now come to hand in approximately correct form. Briefly stated they.are: Killed?About 350. Injured, painfully or seriously? 1200. Homeless?Several thousand. Towns reporting serious wreckage ?46. Habitations and business houses practically ruins in these towns? About 2500. The above figures do not include the wreckage on plantations and farms, scores of which were struck and damaged. The number of dead will never be known accurately, for the reason that about 300 of them were negroes and they were buried In many communities without careful records being made of their numbers. By following the wreckage of towns the general direction' of the tornadoes can be traced closely. Apparently the storm struck in three ( separate currents, each describing the arc of a circle and traveling toward the northeast. Why the fatalities were so unusually large is apparent from a glance at the photographs which have arrived here from many portions of the tornado belt. They all tell the same story. Whole blocks cf what were formerly little residences and cabins lie spread over the ground in separate boards. If a huze lumber pile had been scattered over these areas the number of boards unattached to anything else could scarcely hare been greater. Many of these planks show very few breaks where they were separated from the other construction. Under this mass of wreckage many hundred persons were buried, uot one in a hundred escaping without some injury. The houses which were thus scattered about were mostly negro habitations. Thfs week has been one of relief measures throughout the wrecked district. The ruined towns have been visited by thousands of spectators, many of whom went with a few dollars in their pockets to distribute among the needy. Sheds made from the wreckage have become the homes of hundreds. Small parties of men nn hnrsphark havft zona throueh country districts, taking inventories of the assistance needed and rendering aid where it was most necessary. At least a dozen relief funds have been started in as many cities and towns. Following i:; a list by States of forty-six towns reporting more or less damage: Louisiana?Lucerne, Kenmore, Lamourie, Richland, Amite, Essie, Pine, Angie, Franklinton, Sheridan, Avard, Eunice.

Georgia?Columbus, Chipley, La Grange, Harris, Griffin, McDough. Locust Grove, Cedartown, Cave Springs. Alabama?Albertville, Highmound, Patton, Leesburg, Settlement, Blountsville. Nineteen Mississippi towns were hit hard by the tbrnadoes, while a dozen were badly damaged in Louisiana. Georgia reports nine towns Vilf wlillii ilahama hari eiv tnwn? hit Arkansas reports one. President Roosevelt telegraphed Govenor Noel, of Mississippi, offering ; aid, which, was acknowledged by the Governor. Governor Noel was advised that there were 140 people in Purvis whose condition was desperate, and he has ordered all the available tents in Jackson hurried to the scene. The relief work in Purvis is progressing satisfactorily under volunteer committees. In Amite City, La., .t^nts have been supplied and the distribu- ( tion of rations is carried out with system.

I doctored him, but as soon as 1 got them healed up in one place they would break out in another. I was almost in despair. I could not get anything that would help him. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and after using them three times the sores commenced to heal. He is now well, and not a scar is left on his body. They have never returned nor left him with bad blood, as one would think. Cuticura Remedies are the best I have ever tried, and I shall highly recommend them to any one who is suffering likewise.
