WINDOWS OF THE SOUL
Eyes Have Always Been Recognized

acter Beneath.

The most important of all physical
faculties is sight. The eyes, the win
dow of the soul, are the chief avenue OF
communication between the inner ma
ture and the external world. Therefore,
they should be carefully guarded. How
ever trying other physical disadvantages
must be, such as premature wrinkles,
badness or loss of teeth, yet, compared
with the great calamity of failing eye
sight, they are featherweights in the
balance. Science can help us success.

teeth, and, if powerless to hide the wrin-

soul. Our vision is as precious to us as

At the close of the last session the Gov

law passed.

after the law went into effect which was

united in a suit attacking its validity OF the
law. The State Supreme Court upheld the
law, four of the Justices concurring in the
opinion written by Justice CAN'T, and three

CHEESE THAT is PRAISED
AS A FOREIGN PRODUCT.

Simple folk who pride themselves upon
their gastrononlIc taste are sometimes
heard to speak scornfully of American
cheeses, but perhaps in nine cases out Of
ten they eat and praise as an excellent ex-
ample of the foreign product cheese that
never crossed the Atlantic.
Ca.nembert and Brie are the only soft
cheese that are imported in considerable
quantity, and even they are manufactured
in the United States.
1t is confessed that the native Camembert
and Brie are not SO good as the foreign
article, but the cheesemakers of New York
and New Jersey have come at length to
produce admirable Roquefort and good imi-
tations, If they may be so called, of many
other famous foreign cheeses.
The French cheesenakers. with the con-
servatism characteristic of rural Euro
peans. have neglected to adapt their prod
ucts to the American market.
The Brio cheese from abroad. for example,
comes in a large disk, that puts 1t beyond
any but those who consume it In large
quantities, whereas the native Brie is made
in small cakes, that may be purchased for
family use.
The sale of Gorgonzola cheese. which is
still imported, is much less than 1t would
otherwise be If made in smaller parcels.
Only two or three English cheeses are
