HARD TO TRANSLATE BIBLE
Considerable Amount of Ingenuity Re-
quired to Make Words Fit Sav-
age Knowledge.
How much do you supopse an TCs-
( klmo knows about nn olive? Or h
| Hottentot about cherubim? Or a can-
j nibal about the Holy Ghost?
I That's why the men and women who |
translate the Bible Into papin lan-
I gua^es have to use a greater amount
| of ingenuity and Imagination than
anything else, observes a writer in the
I World Outlook.
I It must have be<m a very pleasant
person who finally suggested to the
I mingled relief and amusement <>f the
j tired workers, that "the lamb of God"
might just as well be translated "the
! little seal of God," in the Kskitno Bible,
i Eskimo children have the same ten-
j derness toward the funny little things
I with their mournful eyes and soft fur
I that other children have toward baby
sheep.
The Eskimo Bible was one of the
most difficult to translate, and has just
! been finished after 250 years <>t" work.
I Of course, to a half frozen, fur-clad
j people, living in igloos—or is it har-
poons?—and surrounded by polar bears
I and walruses, it is next to impossible
! to translate the story of the bright
colored, sun-drenched holy land. The
I language of a northern people is nec-
essarily lacking in dozens of words
j and phrases, and, too often, even
Ideas.
But Bible translating is like Greek
grammar—there's an exception to
every rule. The Zulus live in u coun-
try as warm and tropical as the holy
land on the pleasantest of days, but
the Zulu Bible has offered about a?
many difficulties as any respectable
task has a right to offer.
In the first place, the earliest trans-
lation was made by more than thirty
people working independently. I Respite
its inaccuracy and inconsistency it
was extremely popular among the na-
tives; it even shaped Zulu thought so
completely that every paragraph of !
the Zulu newspaper teems with Bibb
vocabulary. But It was inaccurate.
Many of the mistakes were, of course,
extremely amusing. The translators
found to their surprise that instead of
crossing the Red sea and the Jordan
dry shod, the children of Israel went
over thirsty. And a literal transla-
tion of the promise that enemies should,
melt away before them, was discovered
to mean in Zulu Idiom th ' their en-
emies should be us happy as men full
of beer.
In 1001 a new translation was be-
gun. There was still many difficul-
ties. How were the translators, for
instance, to describe fts in Isaiah 3,
18-24, the entire wardrobe of a Jewess
at the height of the nation's civiliza-
tion to the Zulu debutante who in the
heaviest winter season wears little
more than a string of scarlet beads?
Not So Mere.
The small boy sometimes sees
straight and sees far, says the Chris-
tian Science Monitor. John stood high
In his examination, but a girl took the
highest mark. Ills father was indig-
nant.
"John, I am surprised to find you
have allowed yourself to lie beaten by
a mere girl."
"Yes, father, said John, unblush-
ingly, "I have; but 1 can tell you
something—girls are not so very mere
after all.

Personal Reports of Real Cases
A KANSAS CASE.
Mrs. Jennie Jackson, Avenue E,
West, Kingman. Kan., anys: "1
had shooting pains through the
small of my back and my limbs
swelled badly, in fact, I was in
terrible shape with kidney trou-
ble. Last summer 1 had the worst
attack and was nothing but a
skeleton of my former self. I
tried different medicines, but noth-
ing helped me until I took Doan's
Kidney Pills. They cured me and
from that day to this, I have felt
ever so much better. I never loso
nn opportunity to tell other peo-
ple about my experience."
AN OKLAHOMA CASE.
W. F. Doorley, li!l E. Broadway,
Kingfisher, Okla., says: "My kid-
neys were too frequent In action
and I suffered from inflammation
of the bladder and from a con-
stant pain across the small of my
back and loins. Doan's Kidney
Pills remedied the trouble, the
backache left and my kidneys be-
came regulated."
Over nine years later, Mr. Door-
ley said: "I never have much
trouble with my kidneys any
more but I have never forgotten
what Doan's Kidney Pills did for
me. I shall always praise them
as the best kidney medicine I
ever came across."

Those German demigods, the officers
of the army, are now on clothing ra-
tions like ordinary mortals. They will
henceforth only be nble to secure new
uniforms on clothing cards. The new
regulation prescribes Just how exten-
sive a wardrobe an officer may have,
and he will not be permitted to array
himself In excess of Its limitations.
The only special concession to officers
,s that they are not required, as civil-
ians are, to declare how much cloth-

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood Is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over-
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood Is the best insurance
against Ills of all kinds. Almost ail
diseases come from Impure and impov-
erished blood. It is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Prink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for a vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which lias had such a
line reputation for fifty years. It con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. It is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood-
root, Oregon grape root, Queen's root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
