Headache and the Eyes.

h@@OAcMQ ANA inc Eyes,
Eye strain should be the first thought
suggested by any complaint of head
ache, for it is by far the most common
cause of that symptom. The simple
existence of headache, therefore, should
suggest eye strain, but frequently q
careful inquiry as to the manner and
time of the attack and the locati of
the severest pain will be almost conclu-
sive as to the origin of the trouble. Of
ten it comes ON whenever the eyes are
used and is absent whenever the eyes
have had proper season of rest.
Congestion, irritability or infiamma-
ton of the eyes and their appendages
should always suggest the suspicion of
eye strain. A single attack or manifes-
tation of this kind has no special sig
nificance, but repeated attacks Of in
fammation or prolonged congestion or
irritability are suggestive of continu-
ing cause. A strange thing with refer
ence to eye strain is that it often exists
to an exceptional degree without show
ing any symptoms in the eye. The pa
tient will often say that the eyes are
perfectly good and have never caused
any irritation.

weak l did not have the milk for him, so
l gave him different kinds of foods, but
he was crying nearly all the time and
would vomit after every meal.
"His condition worked on my nerves
dreadfully and l called in DR.. Campbell.

said: You send at once for some Grape
Nuts, take four teaspoonfuls i'm cup of
hot milk on going to bed; also feed your
baby on some of the food in hot milk
We'll | followed the doctors advice

fast you are improving How the little
boy grows, He don't look like the same
baby, what are you feeding him?' So

Grape Nuts have brought us both back
to health. / wish other mothers knew

over.
In the House of Commons at midnight
tonight, A. J. Balfour, the Government
leader, replying to a question asked by
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the lib

ment had no information concerning the
peace rumors, and that there was no
foundation for them.
The sudden calling of a cabinet meet

err Unexpectedly terminated his cruise
yesterday in order to return to London,
convinces people that something import
ant is pending and has led to the most

General Gordon's Tribute.
(By the Associated Press.)

New Orleans, April 11.-By direction of
General J. B. Gordon, COMMANDMENT
Chief, United Confederate Veterans, Ad-
jutant General Norman has issued a
general order on the death of General
Hampton, saying, in part:
Overwhelmed with grief, the general
commanding announces to his comrades
and countrymen that the great spirit of
the chivalrous Lieutenant General Wade
Hampton today took its flight to join the
hosts Of his comrades encamped upon the
other shore.
Truly can it be said of him that the
blood of heroes coursed in his veins, as
he was the third bearing the name of
Wade Hampton, his grandfather having
fought under Marion and Sumter, and was
a major general in the Revolutionary
War; and by his illustnious career he has
proudly sustained the high character Of
his heroic sires, as he was one of our
greatest soldiers, a statesman without
blemish, a peerless citizen and pure
man.
1.-THE general commanding directs that
all possible honors be paid to his mem
DRY by the United Confederate Veterans.
