LAWTON's NEW BASE SAN IsIDRO
To Meet Filipino Commissioners as In
dividuals Only.

Manila, Oct. 21.-1;41 p. m.-General
Lawton's column is establishing base
at San Isidro.
Launches and cascoes navigate the
shallow Rio Grande with considerable
difficulty. but supplies have been landed
in the vicinity and will be transported
overland.
1924 a. NIT is believed that the
Filipino commissioners, on whose behalf
permission has been asked to visit Gen
eral Otis to discuss peace terms and
other matters, if admitted to the Ameri-
can lines, will not be brought to Ma
Mia, but it is expected that General
Macarthur will be empowered to meet
them If he be authorized to receive
them. he will do SO in the status of in
diyiduals coming from Aguinaldo. but
win decline to receive any official com
munication from the so-called Republic.
The spectacle of the last Filipino Off
GERS, who waited upon the American atl-
thorities here displaying uniforms about
the city encouraged the hostile element
Of the inhabitants. The persistent at
temPts of the various commissions previ-
ously sent to Manila to entrap the
Americans into some sort of recognition
of the Filipino Government have ex-
hausted the patience of the authorities.
1t is reported that the Filipinos pro-
pose to ask for an exchange of sick
Spaniards in their hands for Filipino
prisoners.

GLASSES FOR THE EYES.
The Reason They Are Worn by So
Many Persons Nowadays.

The Reason They Are Worn by So
Many Persons Nowadays.
The question Is often asked, particu
larly by those who can recall the Gus
toms and experiences Of % years ago,
"Why do SO many persons nowadays
wear glaSseS?" The answer Is easy.
"The increase in the number of spec
tacles Worn is not to be regarded rs
an evidence Of modern degeneration
Of the eyes, but rather that long felt
necessity has been met" For 1t should
be remembered that within the past
quarter Of a century much has been
learned about the value Of glasses, and
the range of their application and use
fulness has been enormously extended
OF course the eyes need more help now
than formerly, as the amount Of work
they are required to do is much greater
than ut any previous period in the
worlds history. The sewing machine
and many other inventions Of its class
save the labor Of the hands only to
add to that required Of the eyes.
New employmepts, new amusements
and new fashions are continually be-
ing introduced to Increase the cXac-
tions laid upon these sensitive and
delicate organs. The steady decrease
Of illiteracy, together with the general
cheappess Of literature and spread
Of taste for 1t, the enormous circula-
tion Of novel, magazine and newspa-
per, the ever increasing use of artificial
illumination, all combine to overtax
the eyes and to weaken or possibly de-
stroy the sight unless The required aid
and protection be supplied through
every means at our disposal Thus 1t
happens that the some time luxury Of
properly adapted glasses has come to
be recognized and understood by very
many Of the present generation as one

ment amounted to nothing, for II really
