AChild,s Disposition

May be ruined through existing defects in
eyesight. Children are often called dull and
stupid by teachers and parents through no
fault or their own. Perhaps born with a
defectin sight, they don't know of any differ
ent world FROM that which they see through
defective eyes. Mark any peculierities that
children may have in looking at objects al a
distance or near by. Squirting, frowning,
looking sidewise, with partially closed eyes
are indications of eye troubles. Better be
over cautious in having a child's eyes
examined than to take too much responsible
ity into your own hands. Examination free.
CHILDREN'S EYES
Should have careful attention. They
should be examined at the first complaint by
reliable optician-es especially while the
child is in school.
A little care at the prot>er time may save
them untold misery and heir parents much
remorse A defect that may be easily
remedied NOW might prove difficult LATER.
All diseases of the eye correctly diagnosed.
Examination Free.-W. w. Taggart, Boxrud
Block, River Falls, Wisconsin.

NEW USES FOR x RAYS.
Now Possible to Examine the Lungs
and Blood Vessels.

Now Possible to Examine the Lungs
and Blood Vessels.
A new application of the < rays,
which seems so obvious that one won
ders why ie has not occurred to some
one before, is that by means of which
not only the bones of the body, but the
veins and arteries are revealed. The
idea came first, it is said, to DR.. Harold
Styles of Edinburgh, and the first ex-
periments were made by the Medical
Supply association under the direction
of Dr. Ernest Greville. It was tried
first on the amputated hand of 2-year-
old child, which allowed certain expert
ments that otherwise could not have
been made. For instance, at the top of
the fourth digit a hgature had been
tied and the contents squeezed out of
the vessels. The artery which feeds the
bone is seen between the two bones of
the arm, giving off branch to each
bone At the ends of the finger bones,
next to the palms, little fat bones can
be seen, separated from the main parts
of the bones by small spaces. By observ
ing whether these fat plates are united
to the larger bones the minimum age of
a person whose body is under the K
rays can be determined, because medic
al men know that at certain age GER
tain bones have not united The dia-
gram shows, too. the rich capillary
plexus or network which nourishes the
nerves at the tips of the finger; also
can be seen the peculiar rings or loops
of the artery leading to the thumb, by
which the thumb may be extended
without breaking the blood vessels.
The astonishing progress recently
made in Germany in the graphic dag
nosing of diseases by Roentgen rays
seems to justify the hope that they will

THE GARDEN SPOT OF AMERICA

The opening of the line of the northern
Pacific Ry. into Lewiston, Idaho within the
next week will bring that city and the coun-
try surrounding it into the prominence they
have long deserved.
Lewiston is situated in a valley of surpass
ing richness with a climate of unusual equa-
bility. These have made it the centre of one
of the most productive regions of America.
The hills protect it from the cold and storms
and lend their influence to take the valley
the garden spot of the Pacific northwest.
The rich soil, abundance of pure water and
splendid climate, are manifested in the de-
liciouS fruits unequalled vegetables, and
bountiful harvests of field products and it
will not be long, with the new and admiral
railway facilities now enjoyed, before the
Lewiston valley will become conspicuous as
one of the best places on the earth for the in
dustrious farmer to establish a home.
For the past two years the resources of the
valley have been taxed to meet the growing
demand of local and foreign markets, which
is now augmented by the demand from the
orient. The speedy settlement ard enlarged
cultivation of the valley is sure to follow the
completion of the Northern Pacific Ry., will
give it a prominent part in supplying the
worlds demand for fruits and breadstuffs.
A little to the southeast and reached by
way of Lewiston, lies the rich Nez Perez
reservation which was recently opened to
settlement with it's thousands of acres of
fine farming lands waiting for the industrious
farmer to cultivate them and convert them
into profitable farms or fruit ranches.
The city of Lewiston, population 1000, even
without railway facilities has long been re
oarded as a most deliphtfu1 SnOt for resi-
dence and now must surely become the OBJ
jective point of many tourist and home
seeker.

c., Aug. 5. We founded reports are
in circulation that a concerted attempt
will be made next month by a fleet OF
Canadian ~sealers to raid the rookeries
on the islands Of St. Paul and St.
George. There is but one government

Alaska coast and see that the fishing
laws are not violated. Around I'm
alaska and Dutch Hirbor, where the
larger portion Of the sealing fleet rem.
devious before the season opens, are
over a score of vessels, and it seems TO
be an open secret that IN the event of
the animals being scarce IN the present
zone for sealing purposes, the captains
contemplate raiding the rookeries.
The absence Of revenue cutters, they
declare, seems to imply n tacit invita-
ton TO invade the sea aud kill seals
wherever they may be found.
Both the st. Paul and st. George
islands have a few government officers
