FOUR THINGS TO
REMEMBER

When your eyes trouble you in any
manner:
First:-Do not neglect having them
attended to Immediately. The mech
anism Of the eye is the most delicate
of the human body, and you cannot
neglect its timely warning without
great detrment to the eye and serious
impairment of vision.
Second You should patronize a re-
liable person and be certain Of an ac-
curate and skllful examination.
Third:-In doing this you also make
certain that the adjustment will be
proper, and the lenses and frames of
the best quality.
Fourth Make sure of the other
three by consulting our optician.

Professor Barret Wendell. Of Har-
ward University, has broken loose
again Though he is a Unitarian, Op-
posed to he'll on general principles. In
a recent lecture at Harvard he declared
the editor of a certain New York
newspaper ought to go to hell And
the boys applanded because il was hot
stun. Evidently sensationalism tickles
the circles OF football at Harvard as
well as the circles OF yellow journal
ism in Gotham. Il is a great tribute
to orthodoxy whioh the Unitarian SEN
sationalist spontaneously pays in thus
reconstituting the hot zones which the
new theologies have tried to obliterate
from the map Of theology.

rcw Enterprise Being Planned.
That this county is In greatly I'M
proved condition and on the road to pros
neritv. is eviGv need not only by the ad-
vances mentioned, but by the fact that
q number of new enterprises are being
MANNED for the near future, and the
boom-if 1t may be termed boom
is not Of the mushroom OF "air-caste'
kind nor is this. encouraging and pro-
missing state of affairs due TO anything
like sudden, extraordinary increase OF
money in circula ton. The advancement
so noticeable In nearly all parts Of the
county is attributable alone to the fact
that our people. possessed of new
spirit of enterprise and vigorous energy.
have adopted entirely modern methods
and are working along new lines. They
have confidence in themselves and faith
In the possibilities and resouces OF this
section of Virginia. Close applica ton,
untiring energy, and systematic opera
ton have taken the place OF negligence
apathy, and "slipshop" methods; and,
encouraged by the results of intensive
farming instead of extensive farming,
the tillers Of the soil in the forest are
forging along towards more independent
conditions and easier circumstances than
have obtained since the war between
the Sta tes.
What the County Records Say.
It is true that the county records show
that a good many small mortgages have
been given by King George people this
year, but this does not signify what the
promiscuous mortgage of property meant
twenty years ago. While some have been
given by improviGent and visionary per-
sons who are possibly hopeHssly In
volved. the majority have been given by
men who have bought real estate at a
bargain. and who have resources to meet
their mortgages.
It is significant fact that nearly
every parcel or tract of land sold in King
George this year has been purchased
by King George people.

Jerrv,s Mean Little Game.

The United States post Office de-
partment has a violent prejudice
against double-iointed names for
towns. This prejudice has worked
harm to a deserving little town in
California which had a Spanish name
for nearly a century. This is Corte
MADEIRA. in Marin county. The Corte
Maderans having no post Office had
to 90 several miles to get their mail
They put the requisite machinery at
work to have the place declared a
post office. but the most enterpris-
inc man in the town was one Jerry
Adams. the Keeper of a crossroads
saloon. To the Washington author
titles he represented that "Corte Ma
dera' was too long n name. To this
the post office authorities lent a will
ng ear. and the subtle Jerry sug-
gested to them that more eupho
niouS and convenient name was "Ad-
ANS" They at once agreed. Now
the Corte Maderans have their post
Office, but they have lost their beau,
tiful Spanish name. and their town
is named after the keeper of the
local saloon.

X-RAYS FOR CANCER.
Pronounced a Reliable Cure by En-
inent Medical Men.
Leading New York Investigators An
nOunce the Result OF Recent Ex-
peFiments-Dr. MOrtOn's Con-
illusions Summed I'd,

The highest medical authorities have
at last announced that a cure for can
Ger has been found. At the latest
meeting of the academy of medicine,
held in New York city, DR.. William
j. Morton declared that cancer could
! be cured by the N-rays, that new pene-
, trating light discovered by Prof. Roent-
gen, the German scientist.
DR.. MoTtOn's claim was cOrrobOrated
| by DR.. Francis II. Williams, of Boston;
DR.. A. b. j Johnson, DR.. Charles w. Allen,
DR.. w. D. Coley and DR.. John a. For
| dyce, of New York.
DR.. Morton and DR.. Coley exhibited
patients to the 800 or more doctors
who were assembled, showing the last
marks of cancers that had been dried
up by the new method of treatment.
Some time ago Dr. Morton noticed
that if the N-rays were shot through
a glass bowl of water containing a
number of small iellyfsh the jellyfsh
acted as if suddenly paralyzed. 1t was
impossible for the tiny creatures to
live in the fierce, hot light that was
turned upon them.
1t has been known for years by doc
tors that a cancer is very like bowl
packed full of tiny jellyfish. The little
living atoms are so small that no mi
croscope can separate them, but no
one doubts any longer that the can
Ger germ is a distinct and living thing.
Up to the present time the most sue
cessful treatment of a cancer has been
to cut it out with the surgeons knife,
but this has always been an uncertain
method, as the cancer would grow
again if Z single germ were left be-
hind
With the use of the X-rays this un-
certainty is said to be at an end. The

SHE SHUNS SOCIETY.
Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain Positively
DislikeS Publicity.
American Wife of British Colonial
Secretary Has Done Much to Ad-
vance Her Husbands PO-
iiticaI influence.

Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain, the
American wife of the British colonial
secretary, is almost as little known
as aer distinguished husband Is IA
nous. The fact makes the accom-
panying picture of her especially in
teresting, for, so far as known, it is
the first good portrait of her ever
published. 1t is from a painting by
an English artist.
Mrs. Chamberlain accompanied her
husband TO the Guild hall the other
day on the occasion of his being pre-
sented with the freedom of the city
of London, but in every one of the
numerous pictures which were taken
and drawn of the ceremony Mrs.
Chamberlain is shown with her back
turned deliberately upon the artist.
The circumstance is worth mention
ing as being typical of the lady's dis
like of publicity. In the American
colony in London she is practically
unknown, and even in Birmingham,
the colonial secretary's home,
though his charming wife is a ia
yorite, it is generally understood
that social life has few attractions
for her.
Mrs Chamberlain is the daughter
of W. C. Endicott, formerly Judge of
the supreme court of Massachusetts
and secretary of war during Cleve-
lands first administration. He had
"old-fashiOned" ideas on how girls
should be brought up, and pretty
Mary Endicott spent more time over
her books than she did at dances and
football games. Her studies and the
strong sympathy that existed be-
tween her and her distinguished fa-
ther gave her an interest in things
political that made her an ideal wife
for the English statesman who fell
in love with her and to whom she was
married in 1SSS.
