with defective eyesight and nothing
more.
An astigmatic eye most invariably
causes aches and pains and nausea
of tho stomach of a kind that is very
misleading to the sufferer aud de-
ceiving to the physicians in diagnose
ing unless the physician has special
knowledge and experience in the art
OF fitting glasses.
Astlgmatic headache usually be-
gins with shooting pains IN the back
of the eyes, finally reaching the top
of the head, extending down the
back of the neck into shoulders, and
frequently effects the spine to the
extent that physicians often diagnose
such q case of spinal trouble.
Other symptoms Of astigmatism are
sensation of hair pulling, n tender
ness or soreness of the scalp, and
dizziness, especially upon sudden
turning Of the head.
Those who suffer with n slight de-
gree Of astigmatism experience
much trouble in reading or doing
close work longer than thirty MIN
utes without the vision bluring, or
letters or lines running together or
mixing more or less, causing excess
i've winking or watering of the eve,
with perhaps II slight inflnmmatory
condition of the lids and bloodshot
eye ball.
All ofthese troubles can beentire-
| ly overcome by the wearing of pro.
perly corrected glasses, without
medical treatment.
If you are troubled with any of the
following symptoms, call at once and
receive test and examination.
adache-sensation of bair pull
ing, chilly, creepy feeling extend
ing down the back of the head, neck
and shoulders.
Aches over the eye or severe
shooting pains in the eye with often
a nauseating feeling of the stomach
when turning the head suddenly.
Trembling spells, nervousness, ex-
cessive winking and watering of the
eyes, with often slight infiamma-
tory condition.
Bluring, mixing and coming to
; gether of letters, with often sudden
. attacks of sleepyness.

Science and God.

Lord Kelvin (Sir VIM Thompson)
who is called the greatest living
man of science, wrote in the June
number of the "Nineteenth Centu-
ry" the following: "Science pos
itivoly afllrms Creative Power"
cit is not in dead matter that
we live and move and have our be-
ing, but in the Creating and Di-
recting Power (which science com
pells us to accept as an article of
belief.
"Modern biologists are coming,
/ believe, once more to affirm ac-
ceptance of something beyond mere
gravitational, chemical and phys
ical forces, and that unknown
thing is Vital Principal.
"We only know God in His works,
but we are absolutely forced by
science to believe with perfect con-
fidence in Directive Power, AN
inferance other than physical, OF
dynamical, or electrical forces.
There is nothing between absolute
scientific belief in Creative Pow
er, and the acceptance of the theory
of n fortuitous concourse of atoms.
Just think of n number of atoms
falling together of their own ac-
cord and making sprig of moss,
a microbe, living animal !
Modern scientific men are in agree
ment with him (Cicero) in condem-
; ing it as utterly absurd in respect
to the coming into eXistance, or the
growth, or the continuation of
the molecular combinations presen-
ted in the bodies of living things

ed to accept the idea of Creative
} Power.
"Forty years ago l asked Liebig,

flowers grew by mere chemical for

agreement between the Frisco. the
Rock Island. and the Seaboard Air

the Southeastern territory by j. Pier

In this community OF interests - the
Southern. the Atlantic Coast Line, the
Louisville and Nashville, and a number
of smaller lines. all of which are now
working in unity and are earning large
dividends. The scheme was organized
before the Seaboard made the arrange

Frisco. the action of the Seaboard Being
protective. the system apparently find
ing itself being pushed TO the wall as
later events showed 1t was.
The arrangement made by the sys

begun to drain the business out OF the
