Frequent Headaches "I suffered with chronic constipation that would bring on very severe headaches," says Mrs. Stephen H. Kincer, of R.-P.D. I, Cripple Creek, Va "I tried different medicines and did not get relief. The head aches became very frequent. 1 heard of Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT and took it for a headache, and the relief waa very guick. and it waa to long before I had another headache. Now I juet keep the Black-Draught, and don t let myself get in that condition." Thedford's Black - Draught (purely vegetable) has been found to relieve constipation, and by atimulatinf the action of the liver, when US torpid, helps to drive many poisons out ol I' our system. Biliousness, ndiaestion, headache, and similar troubles are often relieved In this way. It la the natural way. Be natural! Try Black-Draught. Sold everywhere. W !?8 Native of This County.

The remnant of that remarkable inn.', the Veddas of Ceylon, h?s agai n been visited and ,the fact of their ex istence wine more brought to the at tention of the civilized world, writes (?gorge Nox McCain from Colombo, Ceylon to the Philadelphia Evening Ledger. Thi? remarkable race now numbers not more than a hundred persons. ' They inhabit the wooded or jungle rack' lands in the .southeastern part of Ceylon. Only very rarely in recent years has their ancient homo been in-. \aded. Peculiar interest attaches to them for the reason that they are not only descendants of a pro-Aryan migra tion, but to this day they speak an Aryan dialect. It is true that contact with the low country Singhalese has corrupted their ancient tongue. They have, however, in their names for animals and natural objects preserved the original nomenclature of their pre Aryan ancestry. Consul Marshall M. Vance, who was appointed from Ohio but is a gradu ate of the University of Pennsylvania and has been stationed at Colombo for over two years, is one of the fortunate men who not only visited but spent several years in the rock shelters of these strange people. They arc troglodytes, pure and sim ple. What are known as the Village Ved das were also formerly cave dwellers, but the lure of civilization overcame them, more than a generation ago, and now they are counted as outcasts by the rest of their people. Dr. K. L. Spit tall of Columbo is pos sibly the greatest living authority on the life and habits of these strange and disappearing people, Consul Vance and Dr. Spittall are both of the opinion that the next twenty years will sea them disappear by death and by absorption into the neigboring Singhalese tribes. One of the older authorities, Dr. P. Sarasin, reported thity-five years ago that the race had been reduced to less than 200 souls. While ethnologists have been busy recording facts about ""the Ainos of Japan, this dying race of aborigines in Ceylon has been neglected and over-looked. They are known as the truth-t elltng Veddas. It is possible that of all people they have the fewest number of wants. An intense love of personal liberty and a keen sense o'f honor, strange among wild peoples, characterizes the Veddas. They are monogamous, and murder never occurs except in case of the in fidelity of a wife ? and then rarely. Tamils and Singhalese are given to lying ? these people never. "It was quite a caravan," said Con sul Vance,' describing his experience. "There were sixteen in the party, made up of guides and porters. "L had been under Dr. Spittall's tare suffering from overwork and he had prescribed the trip as a sort of a rest cure. He was going on a scien ter mission. "We carried food and shelter, be cause the Veddas live out under the trees or in the surface caves on the i'i m ks. "We had to penetrate the jungle or dense bush growth. The Veddas mark thei;- paths by breaking off bits of twigv or small limbs of trees," said Mr. Vance. "They are very shy, avoid white nun. and have no intercourse with the Vfative races of Ceylon. "There were about a hundred of them. They are small of stature and lighter in color than the Singhalese. "The nose is flat, the hair is bushy, lather than lank, tnd they wear no clothing except a loin cloth. "1 discovered that their life is the nin.st primitive of any race in contact i- h ci\ ilizat ion. "They use bows and arrows. live m > 1 1 ? y ..ri game, tisn, wild honey and me green leaves and roots. "In the rainy season they retreat to th< cavc.-i and lissuros among the rock-. It was only with the utmost difficulty that we could induce them to >-how us one of their caves. ' Th< led uv !>> .1 marked path for mvi r::i miles and then broke into the jungle along a trail imp??-?.-ih!e to fol . e xcept wit h a gu hie. "It wa-n't an underground <a\e. It wa* a natural hole in the r<.ck<. A few earthern dishes was all it contained. "Tht \ gather honey by hanging on the side of a chtf and digging it out with a four-pronged -pole from where the bees have deposited it in the inter stices of the rocks. "To keep from being stung they . arry in each arm a smudge, besides a sort of gourd or receptacle in whicn ! < ? place the honey. "A ladder of ingenious oonxtuction rt:r,g; Mfc- r a regular ladder, and it is on this that they go on their perilous hunts for honey, which is a staple article of diet." In Addition to killing game with bow and arrow, the Veddas also lime birds and net fish. They are peaceful, Khun society of every kind, and among themselves speak the language that has come down to them through thousands of yeai.i. They are, ethnologists believe, the remnant of an ante-Aryan migration that in prehistoric time swept into ( 'eylon and ultimately, in the eourse of centuries, passed down into Aus tralia. Their religion is a sort of demon worship, though this is taken to be a perverted form of ancestor worship. Their numbers are largely problem atical, for no census has ever been taken of them. Only a few families survive, this much is known. The bodies of soventeon American soldiers reached Brooklyn, N. Y., Tuesday from European ports. The body of a man killed at Lufkin, Texas, last Saturday while "bumming a ride" on a freight train, has been identified as that of Frank Fox, GO years old, a wealthy business man of Brooklyn, N. Y-. He was the heir to a large estate. His body was shipped to Brooklyn for interment. TRESPASS NOTICE.
