ONE of the simplest and most effective
cures for that often serious affection to
of common faxseed. One or two of
these may be placed in the eye without
injury. They shortly begin to swell and

the ball of the eye, enveloping any for
eign substance that may be in it; then
seed and irritant may be washed out.
IT is said that the old black .overcoat
of the German army will shortly be
abolished. Experiments have been
made with various regiments during
the last twelve months with overcoats
of various shades of gray. which have
led TO the conclusion that light gray

THE bacilian world will be more or
less excited by the information that DR..
Rabener. of Roumania, has announced
his ability to knock the everlasting
wiggle out of them-that is, the influ-
enza style of bacillus-by the use of
creoline. The we'll known facility with
which the bacillus adjusts himself to
his environment and extracts susie

there twenty-one years ago, and was
