MODERN SCIENCE.

Only for modern science in Optomi-
terry Mrs Reed would have been as
helpless today as she was 60 years go.
Science in Optomitery has made it pos
sibe in such cases to bring out normal
vision by the use of glasses. All her
eyes ever would have needed was pair
of lenses ground in such manner as to
properly refract the light into her eyes.
which PROPERLY ground glasses alone
can do. Mrs. Reed labored under the
impression for over 60 years that her
eyes were diseased. In this she was
mistaken. as only the shape Of the eye
balls were at fault. which could easily
have been remedied by the use of
glasses. OF course in such cases com
mon glasses would have worked an in
jury. which can easily be understood
by eXaming her present glasses, pre-
Scrbed by DR.. Lew Arntz as with them
not one in a hundred with normal eyes
can see even tie largest Of print. and
ordinary glasses for Mrs. Reed would
not only be worthless. but exceedingly
harmful.

FINE IMPOSED ON
DISMAL SWAMP co.
Must Pay Taxes to the State
Like Other Corpo-
Il ratiolls.

THE state Corporation Commission yes
.terday promulgated an order imposing
q fine Of 500 and costs against the Dismal
Swamp Canal Company. which IS no"
known as the Lake Drummond Gai'ai
Company, for failure to make returns as
required by the commission prior to Sep
TENDER !, 1908.
The commission also rules that the
company must pay taxes to the State
along with other corporations.
= Secretary I1pshur last year sent blanks
to the Dismal Swamp Canal Company
for returns as to its property and gross
earnings. No returns We're made, the
company declining to comply on the
ground that it's charter. granted by inc
Legislature in 1851 exempted 1t from
the operation of the new law by It's
terms.
Not long ago the commission cited the
company to appear and show cause why
1T should not be fined for failure TO com
My with the law. The case was argued
by Mcssrs. Theo. S. Garnett and w. IL,
White for the company and Attorney
General Anderson for the State, and the
result was the PRONUNCIATION OF the order
referred to above. The baliitt OF the
commission has been directed to proceed
to collect the fine IL not paid within
twenty days.
1t is said that the company has prop
erty which will Yield a tax of $4,000 to
the state. There is a likelihood Of the
case being appealed.
