This disease may ppea,t any age, but is most e4ininon between the ages Pix and fouxteen years. Ti is caused by thin bleoel Whieli fails to ceery sufficient nourishment to the .nerves, and the child becomes rest- less and twitching of the avueclee and jerking ef the limbs and body fellow. In severe eases the child is unable to hold anything or feed itself. St. Vitus dance is cured by building up the blaod. The most euecessful treatment is to remove the child from 41 mentel excitement, Stop EC/1001 work and give Dr. Williams' •Pik Pale. These Pills renew the blood supply, strengthen the eerves, and restore the ebild to perfect health, Here is proof a their power to cure, Mrs. Geo. A.

LA V S BA NTAM SOLDIER. British Method Journal Praises Ilia Trona 'Work. That little men have many advan- tages, in war time over their bigger brothers is an argument advanced in the British Medieni Journal. After expressing the view that B0,000 have been Jost to the army in the last few weeks owing to the present height standard, the jour- nal says:— "Not a little is to be said in fa- Vtir of short infantry.

The army blanket covers them more amply, and they need less food than tall, thin men to keep up their body heat arid maintain their marching energy. "Those who stand the rigors of euld elirnates are not always big men, and the sailor, like the wind- swept tree on the coast, may be a. short man.

The Ghoorka Is An Ever -Reads BetiulIe of Nerves and Eager Aggreseiveness. "Sahib, the regireent is my fa- ther and mother, but in this 'Matter my honor is concerned, and if I do not get the leave I ask I will de.: sett; the night -will find inc there," said the East Indian soldier, point- ing into the distance when Ida of- ficer expressed unwillingness to grant the desired furlough. The Irecord was a splendid one, and at trooper was a Pathan whose eervice last the leave he craved was re.: luetantly allowed him. The officer had consented ratlaer than force the Iudian into insubor- dination. True to his promises, the soldier returned to the post on the very hour: Then it waa that his commander questioned him about the reason for the leave which had been eked for 11 nib 'WM a a we gI threat. The reply was: "Well, Sahib, the matter was thus: My brother was killed by one of another ciao, and on me, as bit nearest of kin, the feud developed. Hui I failed in my duty shame would have been. on nee'but by the pleasure of Allah that is not so. Our enemy's village new mourns one of its best and bravest." Such are the Pathans, who eonstitute a, very considerable -element of England's native troops in India, although tbe geueral hes heard less of tbem than a some of the others. Onee interested in his soldier work under British leadership the Pathan is intensely loyal, a, fightiug roan that, can be tounted upon to do battle with all his strength and to the last drop of his blood in the eqUac of his adoption. Indeed be loves the intexie„ation of strife, and he is a foe to be reckoned with un- til either dead or physically unable to deel a blow. Somehow in stories of India, the writer of fietion likes to bring in the pieturesque Sikh, and for this reason many people have been Ied to the coecIusion that the Indian native army is composed mostly a this raee. That is not really the ease, but it is a fact that the Sikh is a fighting man of proved quality, and upon more than one battlefield he has won renown and sheen amazing dauntlessness in the face of desperate odds. Before British Annexation the Sikhs held and ruled the 13unjah, and being born soldiers they pre- sented a, very difficult problem to their alien masters until their ad- miration was wan by the battling superiority of the British, send then they were ready ta cast their lot with their quondam foe. alioorkas Soeiable. While the sikhs and the Dogras and the Pathans give a strikingly ornamental c haracter to the Indian army, Tammy Atkins will tell you that his preference is for the little Ghoorkas, those grim, but humor- ous soldiers of the Crown who have won many laurels in their native land in the last eighty -odd years. Somehow the smile comes more na- turally to the Ghoorka than the frown, but don't mistake his eheer- fulness for a, sign of .subserviency or lack of courage. The Ghoorka is one nervous, ever ready bundle of aggressiveness. would be hard to imagine more fighting spir- it to the ounce that has been crowd- ed into the muscular bodies,of these born warriors. They are a sturdy lot, hardened by hill climbing in the land of their birth, Ne.paul, the mountain king- clerei resting on the southern slope of the Himalayas at the north-east. corner of India. They are fortun- ately not hampered by caste pre. judiees and will sit down in catnap with white troops and eat and driek with them 'without ceremony. . There was the time when Abe Ghooak.as were Great BritainZe live- liest and most fro4„tblesoecte foe. A hundred years ago the English had the Ghoorkas war on their hands, and for two years the military aue thorities had a troublesome pro- blem to deal with.

The Giornale d'Italia publishes an article entitled "British soldiers keep smiling," by Signor Diego, An- gell, one of the best-known trans- lators of Shakespeare. The author says that the whale psyehology of the British soldier is summed 3.3.p in the exclamation of the father who, his sons having died fighting, simply said "They died like gen- tlemeri." Signor Angell especially, empha- sizes the eleanliness of Britisher% which, he &tete, is but a reflection of their morel eleanliness, made up of simplicity and loyalty, qualities which are powerful factors making for courage and vietory. The re- pulse of the Germans from the 'gates of Paris was due to these soldiers, who opened the attack and compel- led the Prussians to retreat, so that "Field -Marshal French's tontemp- tible little army" avenged -them- selves by sweeping the Kaiser's gen- erals from the field. ignor Angell gives several anecdotes to show the calmness in danger and coolness in daring of the British, Ilhe writer concludes, by relating that one day a, whole regiment shouted to their comrades in some distant trenches: "Are we down- heartedl" A pa,use ensued, thext a, bloOdy spectre raised himself from a trench, shouted "No I" with his la,st breath, and fell back dead. "English heroism is summed up in this incident," says Signor Angell. STICK TO IT Until Tea or Coffee Hits You Hard. It is about as well to advise peo- ple to stick to tea. and coffee until they get hit hard enough so that theywillnever forget their experi- e. 'A worean writes, and her letter is eondensed to give the facts in a short space: "I was a coffee slave, and stuck to it like a toper to his tcups,' not- withitanding I frequently had se- vere attacks of sick headache; then I used more coffee to relieve the heads:die, and this Was well enough until the coffee effect wore off. (The effeets on the system Of tea and cof- fee drinking are very -similar,, be - Cause they each contain the drug, caffeine:) .

Always Das Been Important Par of the British Soldier's Instruetion, "They can't stand the bayonet:" That has been said of the Ger- mans after every engagement, To their credit it may be added that they face the most withering rifle Are and machine gun fire, but when Tommy and hit French COM. - rules get the order to eharge with fixed bayonets the German Seldiers break and flee, says a writer in The New York Press, Despite the great inerease both in range and deadliness ef guilt and rifles, the bayonet is still the final factOr in deciding & big battle. British army authorities have al- ways recognized that, and instrue- o use the bayouet lios always been an important part of the training ef English soldiers. So important is bayonet fighting regarded, in fact! that British :sol- diers are taught it practically indi- vidually instead af in numbers,as in other parts of their training. Each bayonet instructor, in fact, only trains four pupils at a time, to that he can clearly see and point out the weakness of each man. When the "Tommy" begins to learn the various parries against an imaginary foe, dummy rifles with ordinary bayonets ere used; but when he "takes on" his instructor a spring bayonet is fixed to his rifle. These bayonets have broad buttons on the end of them, and recoil at once whett they hit. The inetruotor and his pupil are, of eourse, Protteted with masks, padded jack - eta and gloves in case of aceidents. Fights Padded jaeltet. "Tommy's" first foe is a. padded jacket hung on a wall, and the movement learned from it is official- ly known as the "Engage" or "On guard." T.his position is one in which the soldier is ready for any emergency, to thrust or parry, to jump forward or back. By it, too, he is taught always to keep his bay- onet directed at the chest of his fee. With this first instruction "Tom- my" is also taught another abso- lutely vital point in bayonet fight- ing: That is, that his whole safety depends on keeping his opponent outside his bayonet point, for once the enemy gets "inside" the bayo- net the soldier is more or less help - leas. In bayonet fighting, in fact, the whole of the rifle is kept in front of the body, and the soldier never draws his rifle back before making a thrust. These points Are emphasized in the training, the rifle being "thrown out" to the full extent of the arm, the feet not being moved from the "engage" position. The next step is training to avoid or ,Parry this "throw point," as it is called. It is usually made at a man's chest, and is parried from the "engage". position by moving the .rifle to the right or left, thus push- ing the attacker's bayonet away to one side or the other. When the thrust is made law, 'however, the rifle is, turned down, the bayonet being slightly imbedded in the grou nd. The Best Attack. By far the most effective form of attack is that of the "low point," as it is called. To deliver this at- tack the soldier drops down on his left 4a,ad, or on his left knee, and delivers the "threw point" in an upward direction. This attack is parried in the same way as the "throw point." . In addition to learning the above ways of attack and defence, the sol- dier is also, taught the "beat/' that is to say, the way of knocking down an -.enemy's guard, by giiiing his Regularity a the bowels is an absolute neces- sity for good health. Unless the waste matter from the food which collects there is got rid of at least once a day, it decays and poisons the whole body, causing biliousness, indi- gestion and sick headaches.

The advantage of this time/Line is thet it not only teaches the soldier quick and aceurate bayonet work. but it develops the wrist rn.uscles necessary to wttl4raw the bayouet after it has tompleted its deadly work.
