DON'T READ IN BED.
1t IL q Dangerous Practice While
Lying Down. Says an Auth GRITTY.

Lying down. says an AuthoFit5'
Reading III bed is seriously advised,
80 the newspapers say, by q physician
as conducive to repair and resting"
relieving congestion" "emptying the
veins overtiIied by prolonged eyework."
etc.
II is plain that placing the head back
in Il horizontal position 50 absolutely
meets the whole prCllonI Of 4 relief or
congestion ~ gravity-and it is such a
very important problcm-that it seems
strange that people with weak eyes
do not habitually practice reading in Il

BILE. Such advice. carried ont with alb.
solute care as to light and the position
Of the book. would in the case Of Il
thousand busy people add largely to
the number Of hours which reading
could be INDUCED in without detriment
to the eyes OF general health.
Certainly the one who gives this
strange and perniciouS advice could
never have tried the plan. Some years
ago there was described patented he
vice for suspending the book over the
horizontally placed head Of sick per-
son whereby reading would be possible
without holding the book in the hands.
Even then one wonders how the light
could be made to fall properly Oh the
page. Without method OF the KIND
not even Il well p2rSCn could hold q
book five minutes above the eyes
Reading in bed has ruined thousands
Of good eyes. Unless one sits up in
bed as if in chair it is impossible to
hold the book in such q position that
the arms are rot quickly tired and 50
that the light falls on it properly. When
reading lying down. there is a traction
upon the inferior recti muscles which is
highly injurious. Every patient should
be warned never to read in bed except
when sitting up as vertically as i'll i
chair.-American Medicine.

played for the past three months,
there Is little change In the rela-
tive conditions Of the supply and
demand of Pennsylvania oil. Not.
withstanding the fact that 81 more
wells were completed the past
month, than during tha month pre-
ceding, the gain liz the new pro-
ductiou was only $50 barrels. An
increase of s. In the number of dry
holes Is also a significant factor In
the, monthly report. The runs tor
the first six months of the year
have been much below the average
for 1901, and no new pcols OF any
consequence have been discovered.
Marshall county, West Virginia,
from which much has been expect.
ed, appears to have reached the
maximum of Its productive posi-.
bilities, and the later wells are
small and unimportant. Calhoun
county made much better show
Ing In June than a month ago, but
nothing extensive In the way OF
territory has been opened up to
bring about any great volume OF
operation.
At the present time, there are a
number of new pools In sight In
Wetzel and Doddridge counties,
West Virginia and In Washington
and Monroe counties, Ohio. One
of these has shown a stretch Of

length and of as yet unknown
width. But gusher strikes appear
to be an unknown quantity and

new districts are half as promising
as indicated they will hardly do
more than sustain the declining
production for the last six months
of the year.
Ninety-seven more wells were
completed In the Pennsylvania
fields In June than In May, but ow-
ing to the small increase In the
new production and the larger
number of dry holes, the average
yield of the productive wells was
about a stand off with that of the
May wells. Compared with June
d year ago, there Is an increase of
SO wells completed and decrease
of 654 barrels In the new produc-
ton. May completed 60 more
wells than April, and there was an
increase of S2s barrels In the new
production. The average of the
new strikes fell below the average
record for the April wells. Com
pared with May a year ago, there
was a falling off of IS In wells COM
pleted and decrease of 1884 bar

April IS more wells were completed

WANT TO KEEP FULL FORCE
City COunciImen Are Anxious to Main
tain the Fire Department
Intact.

Notwithstanding the city council con-
tinues to push forward the market house
project as rapidly as possible and unless
present plans go wrong a contract for the
construction OF the building will be ar,
proved at the meeting tomorrow evening,
the members individually are solicitious for
the maintenance of the Are department at
its present strength and declare that the
fund will surely be taken care Of in some
manner 1t has not yet been stated, how
ever, by any OF the member how the coun-
ell proposes to care for the FIRE department
and replenish the depleted fund now that
the general fund also has been exhausted
by the appropriation OF SIS, 900 for the mar
ket house.
At the general committee meeting Of yes
terday afternoon the bids for the construc-
tion OF the central division and west wing
Of the proposed market house recently
opened by the Board OF Public Works were
presented in the report OF that department.
The bid Of C. w. Partridge to do the work
for $11 1897 was approved as the lowest and
it was directed by the committee that a
contract with Mr.. Partridge he drawn in
legal form and presented to the council at
its meeting OF tomorrow evening for APP
prevail. The other bidders and other pro-
pOSdlS were as lOllONSs Z. j. OfeeuOn q
Sons, $13,50s; Kiewit Bros, $13,535; Walter
Peterson, $15,Ss7; J. H. Winspear. SIG, Ss7;
w. II. Parish ST., 200.
The question Of the FIRE department was
discussed in a general way and the members
generally agreed that the department must
not be reduced in any way and that some
means must be found to carry the expenses
OF the present force of men until the next
appropriation becomes available. II was
determined that all possible effort should
be made to induce the legislature to take
steps at the session this winter to increase
the fire department appropriation to $3.50,
900, 1t having been proven that working un-
der the limitations Of an appropriation Of
$l25, 900 the department has been isufic-
iently provided and has had an overlap each
year for a number of years.
The committee approved the ordinance Il
open Howard street thirty feet wide from
Twentieth to Twenty-second street, the or
dinanee to vacate a part Of the alley in tn,
block occupied by the Monmouth Parl
school, and the ordinance TO change tn
grade Of Thirty-seventh street from Far
nam to Dodge street.
