Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
lcal ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most slsillful
physicians, but if in need of q laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Nothing Is Lost.

Nothing Is lost; the woods and fields grow
green again In spring,
The earth and flowers are full Of life-new
life in everything.
We fall asleep and rest. and wake, and
call Ii daily life.
And sleep ut last-an end of pain. an end
of care and strife.
Nothing Is lost. for life itself is only
passing thought!
We lose our yesterday. It's true. but hold

Nothing is lost, the sweet, sweet songs

The same fond faces Oft return, and will
forever more.

The Child,

The baby searched the starry night
With wondering eyes Of blue.
''Holes in the sky" he cried. with Joy
"And Heaven Is shining through"
kissed the cherub fair and prayed
That after years might keep
The childish fantasy to cheer,
When paths were rough and steep.
To hold that bright world near and real.
With steady faith, and view
The rift mid darkest clouds, and see
Heavens glory shining through.

Electric Light Now Cause for
Blindness.


Blindness.
Electric light may make us blind.
Occulsts believe it is more than a
possibility. Some oceulists go so
far as to say that through the
general use of arc and incaudescent
lights we are in danger OF becoming
race of sightless beings.
American occulists have followed
The example Of their English fellows
and inaugurated war on the general
use Of electric lights without ground
glass shades.
DIR. Henry Q. Houghton, we'll
known authority upon eye surgery,
is one Of those denouncing the
ordinary glass globe most strongly.
He says the practice OF using the
ordinary glass globes is very
serious danger, and is not question
affecting merely the present gener-
alton. While the injury to the eyes
OF thoae now living is great, never
theless it will produce much more
serious results in their children, and
il the practice is allowed to continue
for a number OF generations he is
firmly convinced we will develop a
race OF almost sightless men and
women. The effect produced upon
the eye by The naked light or loop is
called paralysis of the function of
the retina and is exactly similar to
the so-called snow blindness.
"The proper thing to do" said
DR.. Houghton, "is to abolish electric
lights altogether Their general
use has been of too short a duration
for us to realize the actual extent of
their injury to the human eye, but
il the practice is continued we will
only realizs our mistake when it is
too late. What should be used are
fourescent tubes, which cost no
more than the present electric
lights, and which give a steady
light. In fact, | would not be sur
prised to see fourescent tubes in
general use throughout this city
within year."
"Great injury is caused to the eyes
of those who work in Offices" said
another eminent occulist, "by the
ignorance and carelessness of the
electric light people themselves.
When incandescent lamps were put
into places which had previously
had gas, the lamps were usually sus.
pended about foot below the gas
jets. This brings the lamps within
the line Of direct vision aud causes
serious injury unless a shade inter
venes between it and the eyes. This
direct action upon the retina causes
inflammation of the conjunctive and
general congestion. What we need
is to place all incandescent lights
higher and use ground glass globes"
P. A. Meyrowitz, dealer in optical
wares, said: mo better evidence of
the strain upon the eye by the un-
shaded arc lights is afforded than
the fact that electricians themselves
when working with the light
always protect their eyes by
using dense-always opaque glass
without focus OF deep violet color.
Even the mere fact of being con-
stantly in the vicinity of these lamps
is hurtful to the eyes"
One reason why so much injury is
done the eyes by electric light lies in
the fact that many persons make no
effort to shade their eyes from the
rays OF the light that comes direct
from the globe. The result is to a
great extent what would follow in
the case OF a person who was for
hours every day in such a position
that the sunlight would shine
steadily in his eyes.

A GREAT REMEDY



DR.. Redmond. specialist in the
study and treatment OF piles and
rectal diseases. recently stated that
the Pyramid Pile Cure, the new dis
covery for the cure of piles, was the
most remarkable remedy he had ever
seen or tried in one respect. and that
was the instant relief experienced in
all cases, no matter how severe, from
the moment the remedy was applied
this was the more surprising to him,
because he had carefully analysed
the preparation and no trace OF
opium. cocaine or similar poison
could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor
upon the Pyramid Pile Cure. because
it is rapidly taking the place of sur
gical operations and because it is sc
simple, so easily applied and con-
tains no mineral or other poisons s,
commonly used in pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the
Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures the
various forms of piles, bat never
fails to give immediate relief on the
first application. no matter how
severe the pain or discomfort may
be.
People who have suffered from
piles for years are often astonished
at the instant relief experienced from
the first application. Another i'm
portant advantage is the fact tina
anyone can use the remedy withou'
detention from business or interior
ference with daily occupation. Sold
