sELF-FITTING MAY END IN HARM.
Many select their glasses from an
assorted stock. Few know the risk
taken. Probably ninety out of every

made with both lenses alike. II Your
eyes are different you fit one of them.
Only this eye does all the work, and

DR.. Coffman has made the delicate
organism of the eye a study for many
years and has perfected himself in the
science of correcting bad vision and
failing eyesight.
POSITIVELY NO DRUGS USED.
Hundreds of people are made blind
each year by improperly fitted
glasses. 1t often requires more skill

DELAWARE COLLEGE.

An interesting fact about the new
freshman class at Delawarel College is
that it includes larger proportion of
students in the agricultural and engi
neering courses than any previous
class has numbered. OF 20 freshmen 10
have entered in the courses indicated.
Hitherto the Latin scientific course
has usually included from 80 to 30 per
cent of the students. The popularity
of this course doubtless ia due to the
fact that it il regarded as the easiest
pathway to the professions of law and
medicine. The change this year is
doubtless partly accidental, but also In
part because of wider acquaintance
throughout the State with what Della
ware College has to offer in its techni
cal courses.
There is no desire on the part OF the
authorities to make the college mere
technical school, and fortunately its
endowment is designed to foster as we'll
as instruction in other than technical
branches, but the larger part of the
income is now spent in providing for
the technical courses, and there is still
much room for growth here, as the
teaching force and the mechanical
equipment are amply sufficient for con-
siderably larger classes.
Meanwhile the work Of the college in
its other courses was never in health
Ter state. There is growing interest
in language work throughout the stu
dent body, and there seems to be hope
full movement among the better equip
ped public schools to prepare students
to meet the propt sed higher entrance
iequii emeuts in the languages.
Another hopeful sign is The DISPOSE
tion of former students to return to
finish upcolnpletsd courses, or to prose.
cute graduate work. Although in
such d college the teaching energy
must be in the main devoted to the in
struction Of undergraduates, there is
the utmost readiness on the part OF
the faculty TO find time for graduate
work. The presence of graduate stu
dents is felt by the faculty to be helpful
| to the tone of the student body. For
mer students and others Of mature years
who believe that they may be able to
profit by what the college has to offer
in graduate work will do well to ad-
dress the president for further infor.

sM1sHUP ON THE READING.

Pottstown, Pa, Oct. 13.-At 4
O'Clock this morning, an accident on
the Philadelphia j. Reading occurred
in the suburbs of Pottstown. in which
the milk train from Philadelphia was
badly wrecked.
While freight train was taking the
siding, to allow the milk train to get
ahean, a car in the centre Of the freight
jumped the track. This INSTRUCTED the
northbound main track, but the freight
crew we're not aware Of it. A moment
later, the milk train approached at a
rapid rate and dashed into the side Of
the partly wrecked freight car, and
general smash-up followed. The loco
motive of the milk train was badly
stripped, and the engineer, William
Longenecker of Reading, was badly in
jured. A brakeman was also hurt about
the legs. The injured men were re-
moved tc the Pottstown Hospital.

A Hint to the Lads who Will Hunt the
Nuts shortly.


Here il a hint for the lads who go
out after ohestnuts this fall who do not
wish to iniure the trees, but at the
same time want to get the nuts. 1t is
given by man who has hunted the
nuts many times and is too lazy to
climb the trees. be has found it to
work with much success on every trial.
Secure strong piece of cord, not too
heavy, and to the end attach piece of
lead or a large IRON nut" Have the
cord of sufficient length to reach over
the highest limbs of the tree. When
you reach the tree throw the weight
over limb aud then pull upon both
ends of the cord. The result will be
found most satisfactory if the hurs are
open. Repeat until all the limbs have
boen treated. The CO d will lot iniure
the branches and all the nuts which
are ready to fall will do SO. IL is worth
a trial.

"Quick lunch" is one of tine COM
monest of city signs. Inc sign doesn't
say "a healthy lunch of good food''-
the character of the food apparently is

wonder that the stomach breaks down?
Food is thrown at it, sloppy, in
digestible and innutritious food, very
often, and the stomach has to do the
best it can. Normally there should be

covery. 1t is the enc medicine which
can be relied on to cure diseases OF the
stomach and other organs OF digestion

Mrs. Hard is better known in Birmingham as the mother of Mrs. S. D. Cole, who is president of the Elinor Hard Club, and whose influence is felt in all philanthropic work.

 a Huge Joke

Salt Lake, September 21.-The following statement has been given to the Associated Press by Judge A. W. Powers, who was recently appointed United States Senator from Utah by Acting Governor Aquilla Ne beker:
 While there can be no question but what Senator Nebeker was governor in the ab- sence of Governor Wells and Secretary Hammand from the state and that he had power to appoint United States Senator, the precedent in the Quay case makes it clear that his appointee would not be seated. Our Democratic chairman, MT Burton, is of the opinion that l can be of more service to the party on the electoral ticket than in making a contest In addi- ton, l have no desire to draw the salary pending contest while am convinced in advance that the seat would be refused Hence, unless the national committee shall desire me to take action, I shall not ac- cept the appointment At first 1t appear ed to me that I should make the fight and by the Democratic party, for constitu- uonal amendment providing for the elec- ton of Senators by the people; but my so- Der Judgment is to the contrary. I appre- ciate Governor Nebeker's confidence and snail always cherish the compliment.

MR. BRYAN ON BACK
 OF AN OLD TURTLE
Curious Prophecy Given Out and Picture Shown by a Ven-
 erabIe Reptile.

A turtle is said to have been found on Valley creek about two miles from Bir- mingham which had engraved on it's back a picture of Bryan, which was a striking resemblance Under the picture were the words you shall not press down upon the brow of labor |" Here the line was blurred
 e The prophetic creature was discovered under an old log where it had evidently established winter quarters and could hide from the storms of the coming Presden- tial campaign The turtle tried to escape from it's captor and in the melee the shell twas broken and the lines of Bryan's face could no longer be traced. It is a question as whether this meant the shattering of Bryans hopes for the Presidency, or whether 1t meant the downfall of free sil- yer as the paramount issue. The lines un- der the picture clearly indicated that hid den turtle abhorred the "cross of gold" though he only mentioned "the brow of labor end of the paragraph. Anyway the people living in the neighborhood of where the turtle was found believe it means the election of Bryan and the bulls have taken hold of the Nebraskans stock and it now registers a gain of several points,
