For Tired Eyes.

Eyes will be greatly strengthened by putting the face down into a glass or eyecup of water the first thing In the morning and opening them under wa ter. This is somewhat difficult to do at first, but If the water for two or three days be tepid and gradually made colder by imperceptible degrees until 1t Is no shock to put the face into quite cold water 1t will soon become quite easy and is very invigorating and re- freshing.
 If done regularly every day, this treatment alone will preserve the sight into quite old age. There Is a right and wrong way of wiping the eyes after this, too, and the right way is to pass the soft towel very gently from the outer angle inward toward the nose.
 If after a long day the eyes feel so hot and tired that they seem dim when one tries to read or to do little neces- sary sewing for oneself. they should be bathed with cold tea from which the leaves have been removed.

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed condition of the mucuous sur- faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Man who Named America.


 Few Americans are aware of the fact that the name of their cont1nsct is due to a German scholar. In 1907 Martin Waldseemuller, also known as Hyla- comylus, of St. Die, in the Vosges, edited a book called "Cosmographie Introductio," in which he gave a trans lation of Amerigo Vespuccps descrip- ton of his voyages.
 That was just the time when Amer+ go's fame filled the world, while Colum- bus disgrace overshadowed his merit. and evidently bis name had never reached the quiet village in the yosges when Amerigo trumpeted forth his own glory. So Hylacomylus proposed that, since the new continent was, after all, not part of the Indies, no name would suit it better than that of his famous explorer, Amer1go.
 The book was read far and wide, and 50 quickly was the proposition accepted that, when later on the true discoverer was known, the name was already rooted too deeply in general use to be abolished, and was even extended to the north part of the continent, while Hylacomylus had only meant 1t for the present South America--Nattona Geographic Magazine.

expressions on the part Of some OF the
players who claim they are not receiv-
ing their salary promised him while
playing at Grand Rapids, that they will
probably resort to Streit's tactics in the
event OF any sudden severence OF their
connection with the team. While there
are mutteriDgs of discomfort, everything
seems fairly serene this evening. The
manager Is somewhat anxious. however,
over the outlook. as 1t is believed Streits

similar ones. Most of the members OF
