Can Nervous Diseases
Be Caused by
Eye Strain?

The literature of medicine goes TO
prove conclusively that a duration OF
life Is materially shortened by nervous
debility and the diseases which 1t entails.
Any factor, therefore, in their causation
ought not to be overlooked. In the view
that Eye-strain is frequent cause OF
functional nervous arrangements proves
to be the correct one beyond the posi-
bility Of doubt or cavil, It is not diff
cult to see that hope Of marked relief
or Of ultimate recovery is practically ex-
tended TO many hopeless sufferers upon
whom drugs have exerted little or no
benefit.
A few Of the troubles which result
directly from neglect in this particular
are Neuralgia, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia,
Insanity and Nervous Prostitution. II

SHIP CANAL MAY
YET Be SECURED
York State Can Cede a Need
ed Strip Of Ter
ritOry.

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. S.-The ques-
tion of the possibility Of practically
ceding a small portion Of the Erie
canal to the United States govern
ment for ship canal purposes, in spite
of the prohibition of the state con-
stitutiOn, is answered in the affirmative
by Attorney General Cunneen, in an
opinion forwarded to Maj. Thomas w.
Symons, head of the United States
engineering corps for the Buffalo dis
trict The question arose in connec-
ton with the plan for constructing a
deep ship canal from the headwaters
of Niagara river to the navigabIe
parts farther down stream. The letter
clears away many obstacles that ap-
peared to be insurmountabIe, and as
sures the saving of both money and
time.
Attorney General Cunneen says:
Your favor of Jan. % explaining steps
that have been taken on behalf Of the
general government for the construc-
tIon of canal around the rapids of
Niagara river between the headwaters
and Black Rock harbor has been re-
celVed and carefully considered. /
think that part of the Erie canal which
is within the boundaries of the pro-
posed Black Rock canal could be aban-
dOned by the canal board of the state
and the land ceded to the general gov
ernment. This ceSsion should be so
drawn, however, as to amply safeguard
the right of the state to receive wa
ter from the canal to be constructed by
the national government at Black Rock
to supply the Erie canal, and also to
secure the right to teams drawing
canal boats to pass along the bank
Of the proposed canal.
L have talked the matter over with
the commissioners of canals, and they
concur with the views herein express

PACKING HOUSE
WORKERS IN UNION
Those of Kansas City Organ
ize For Mutual AS
sistance.

KANSAS CITY. Feb. S.-Delegates
from five Of the leading labor organ
izations in Kansas City, Kan, repre-
senting about 5000 workers in the
packing house industries of that city,
met today and formed a new central
labor body for Kansas City, known as
the packing trades council" Michael
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workers Union of North
America, addressed the meeting, and
it was under his direction that the
council was organized.
The unions represented at the meet
ing today were the cattle butchers, the
sheep butchers, the hog butchers. the
beef bOners and the cooper workers.
The other unions which are eligible to
representation in the new council are
the packing house ffremen and engi-
neerS organizations, the tin can work.
ers, the electrical workers, casing
workers, oleo workers and the meat
cutters union, Including the cutters in
retail establishments. Mr.. Donnelley
will go to st. Joseph Tuesday and or
ganlze packing hous,; trades s-eouncil
there.
'"Phe packing house trades council
will not ask for an increase in wages
at present at least" said Mr.. Don
nelley, today. THAT is not the princi-
pal object of forming the new coun-
Gil at this time. Experience has taught
US that the business of the packing
house workers can best be transacted
through a central body composed ex-
clusiVely Of men actively engaged in
some branch of packing house work.
Heretofore the various unions repre-
senting the packing trades workers
have been affiliated with the Trades
assembly, which is made up of dele
gates representing workers in almost
every branch of industry"
