Emmet, Renfrew Co. ., Ont., Apr 5 (Special). â€"That the one sure cure for Brig ht’s Disease, the most deadly ogf all kidney diseases is Dodd’ys Kidney Pills 1s againp proved in the case of Martin O’ Grady of this place. And for the benefit 0f other sufferers, Mr. O’Gr111dy has given the following statement for publication: “For over a year I suffered from Bright/8 disease. I was attended by a doctor, but he did me no good. My appetite was fitful, my sleep broken and un1' efreshing. My mem- ory failed me and I was always tlred and neivous. I had sharp pain and pressure at the top of my head. “Being advised to try Dodd’s Kidney ' Pills, I bought a couple of boxes and found relief soon after I stalted taking them.” This is only one of hundreds of cases in which Dodd’s Kidney Pills have conquered the worst form of kldney disease. They never fail to cure Brig ht’s Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism, Lumbago or Siatica. 11112011 cons 1011111111 WOMEN ANXIOUS TO FIGURE ON BRITISH FIRING LINE. .â€"_ Proposed That Regiment Should he Feminine From Colonel to Drummer. Good progress is being made in the formation in London, England, of a mounted corps of women nurses, whose duty it will be to fol- low the army in battle and render first aid to the wounded. The lat- est feminine candidates for mili; tary honors, how eve1, are not satis- fied with the scope offered them as members of a musing corps. These women all lead an open alr life, and are good horsemen and fine game shots, and they think these qualifications could be put to better practical use than in do- ing hospital work. They want to stand should-er to should-er with their brethren inthe fighting line should there ever arise an emer- gency desperate enough to 1"equi1e their services. They propose that the many women throughout the British Empire who possess the same qualifications as themselves shall be formed into a league on the lines of the British Legion of Frontiersmen, thus becoming an Imperial regiment of Amazons, with branches in eve1y colony, ready to answer the call to arms whenever it is sounded. ENTIRELY FEMININE. It is suggested that the head~ quarters should‘ be in London. The reglment would be entirely femi11~ ine, from drummer girl to officer. Influential and capable women would be appointed squadron lead- ers and troop officers, and the in- struction would include 1iding, scouting, driving, 1ifle and revol- ver practice, signaling (telegraphic, lamp, flag and heliog1aph), de- spatch cairying and all sorts of postal work. Such, in brief, is the scheme. The matter of uniform 1s offering n-o obstacle to the rapid g1011'th of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry C01ps. All the membe1s seem pc1- fectly content with a dress by no means elaborate. They look very smart in short dark blue skirts, high. black boots, scarlet tunics, ' white belts and peaked cloth caps, ISSUE N0. 14-09 . stream of smart-yl all of which they have to provide themselves, for the body is purely voluntary. Each applicant for admission to the corps is told, “Your work in war time will be to follow the fight- ing line and catch the men as thcy' d1op_” This prospect does not discourage applicants, and a steady attired women, many of them wives and daughte of army officers, pouis into the re cruiting office to interview Capt. Baker, Othe commander of the corps. TWELVE MONTHS’ COURSE. All members are expected to re- main in the corps school once a week. Applicants must pass a corps doctor and ac- quire a knowledge of fiist aid. Many of the women who join are sufficiently well- to- do to liave horses of their own, but for those who cannot afford the expense Capt. Baker is recruiting a c01ps of nursing infantry. In each case he is ambitious, and says that he is aiming at a strength of one thou- sand yeomanry and th1ee thousand infantry. The minimum height f01 recruits in the yeomanry is 5 feet 3 inches, as a woman under that height has difficulty 1n mounting without help There is no intention that these nurses when on active service shall encroach upon the work of the amâ€" bulance corps. They will not re move the wounded, but will rend-er first aid, further hospital work be- ing left to the organizations with- in wh se province it falls. WILL GO INTO CAMP. In the summer it is proposed that the Yeomanry Corps shall go into camp, where they will attend personally to their horses and perâ€" form many of the duties which fall upon a cavalryman under canvas. The establishment of this corps of trained nurses should do much to prevent a repetition of what happened during the Boer War, when a number of high bred and romantic women, seeking notoriety more than anything else, went out to South Aflica as nurses. Totally incompetent, these women were not only in the way, but the cause of much unnecessary suffering on the part of the unfortunate patients who happened t0 fall into their hands. The first woman ofiiccr of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry Corps to 1eccive her commission is Lieut Lady Ernestine Hunt, eldest dau gh- ter yof the Marquis of Allesbu1y She will lead one of the troops of which the corps will be composed. She is well qualified for the work she has undertaken, having receiv- ed a thorough training as a nurse. She was a staff nurse at Krugers- dorp during the Jameson Raid.

Statistics for 1907 Show Large Dc- crease. Statistics for 1907, just issued by the French Ministry of Finance, show that the consumpt1on of al- cohol is gradually diminishing in France. The decrease is more ra- p1d in the towns than in the coun- try, although the consumption is still much greater per head in the cities. In north and west France consid- erably more alcohol is drunk than 1n other departments, the average consumption per inhabitant in the Se1n~e Inferieure being three gal- lons per annum. In the centre and ~ south-west the consumption is as low as half a gallon. Havre has earned an unenviable distinction, its consumption of alcohol being nearly four gallons per head. The consumption of absinthe is rapidly rising. PHOTOGRAPH 0F THE HAND. New Method of Identifying Crimin- als Dcvised. A novel method of identifying criminals with absolute certainty has been devised by Prof. Tamas- sia. When comparing the veins on the back of both hands a striking diversity will be observed. F'ar more important, however, are the differences noted in the hands of- different persons. In Older to cause the veins to stand out more dlstinctly the wrist should be bandaged for a short time. courses can then be photograph-ed. .
