Members Of former Company II. of
the Fifty third Iowa, will be interested
in knowing that there is an opportuni-
ty to get back into the guard, thru the
mastering out of the Bedford company
for the very same reason that Com
pany III was disbanded. Adjutant Gem
eral Byers has ordered the Bedford
company mustered out because the
town has failed to provide suitable
armory quarters. When the local COM
pany was mustered out an understands
ing was had with the adjutant general
that IL the sentiment here should
change, and the town cared enough to
have military company that an arm
DRY would be built, or that If future de-
velopments should provide a building,
then unavailable, he would consider re-
placing the company when there was a
vacancy. During the time that Mar
shalltown has been without a company
the old officers and a number of the
men have not been idle. They have
watched matters closely and think that
it may be possible to get hold of a
building that will answer the purpose
of an armory until 1t is found possible
to build one.

LIGHT AND OUR EYES.
Failing Eyesicht Not a Result of Civ


Failing Eyesicht Not Result of Civ
iliZation.
In our issues of March and April
). 1902, we noticed the newspaperish
delusion that failing eyesight is a re-
suit of civilization, and that the proof
Of this is the increased use of spectac-
les, says American Medicine. We
said that the saffron-colored medical
journals would soon be echoing this
nonsense. This has come true, and
we read in our contemporaries that
failing eyesight is the deplorable and
unavoidable concomitant feature of
advanced civilization" that the habit
of wearing glasses is the proof of this,
a habit growing not only in Germany,
but all over the world. and that gas
and electric light have much to do
with this eyesight failure, possibly,
also, dust and fog, and travelling under
ground. The cure advocated is that
IAN Individual should avoid porting
over small print by artificial light, ex-
cept when absolutely necessary.
Poor newspaperdom To write with
out thinking, without any knowledge
of the facts and without seeking any
knowledge, is so easy that. in the
stilted language quoted, it seems "a
deplorable but unavoidable concomi-
tant feature of advanced civilization"
4 little time ago this same writer ex-
planned that the illhealth of Carlyle
was due TO .'the insanitary. and seden-
tary existence he led" He did not
care to learn that Carlyle's exist
ence" was not insanitary and abso-
lutely not sedentary, because he ex-
ercised in the open air the greater part
of the walking portion of every day.
In the same way our contemporary
advises the use of the flashlights and
talIow dips of our ancestors instead
of our superior gas and electric lights.
Spectacles. we may add. are not a
proof of failing eyesight, as there is
no scientific proof whatsoever that the
eyesight of civilized people is failing.
and there is every reason TO believe
that il is improving. If there were
proof of falling eSesight the cure for
it is not TO 'avoid the porting, but to
get proper spectacIe@ for the '-porer.
