II is evident that the current re-
sources of a church must be sufficient
to enable a minister to devote his time
and strength to his charge. There Is
in addition, the expense of building
and maintaining a house of worship,
including light. fuel and care. Some
expense is involved in any sort of sat
isfactory music. Other items will sug-
gest themselves. 1t may be assumed
that to meet these various demands at
least $1,000 a year is necessary. save
perhaps in the most rural communities
and under mission conditions.
Now. a study Of den0minational year
books will show that the average Amer
lean church member spends about S12
a year on his church. So, If we could
trust TO the fairness Of a broad gener-
alization, we might divide 1000 by Il
and say that 1GG was the minimum OF

TOBACCO BLINDNESS.
The Chief Trouble In This Disease
Lies In the stomach.


Lies In the Stomach.
A British oculist has called attention
to a new and indire It method of treat
ing tobacco blindness, and notes the
extraordinary fact that the chief
trouble in this disease is tTaceable to
the stomach as the primary source. Ex-
cessive smoking, as is well known,
causes in many individuals partial and
sometimes total blindness. Tobacco
blindness land also the failure Of Wis
ion which comes from the excessive
use OF alcoholic beveragesl is remark
able because Of the absence OF any
change in the structure Of the eye
itself.
Microscopic examination in these
cases has disclosed peculiar alterations
in the gangliOn cells of the retina, and
the changes were formerly believed to
have been produced by the poison Of
the tobacco itself. Three years ago a
Philadelphia physician published the
opinion that the alteration in the cells,
followed by failing vision, was not
produced by the nicotine itself. but by
pOisOns which the nicotine created in
the system. These secondary pOisons,
finding their way to the eye, modified
the cells in the retina, this modification
being followed by Inadequate vision
or by loss Of vision altogether.
With this original suggestion for a
starting point, other Investigators took
up the investigation, with the result
that the seat Of the trouble has been
located. This is found to lie in the
stomach. Nicotine disturbs the nor
NAL function of the stomach and in
stead of a healthy digestion the smok-
er has a veritable poison factory in his
| gastric region. Instead of treating the
eye, therefore, the new method goes at
| once to the stomach and attempts to
stop the manufacture Of poisOns in
that important organ.
Several interesting cases are report
ed of complete cures by this method.
! One patient. an excessive smoker,
whose eyes were rapidly failing, WAS
| treated for Indigestion. Tie stomach
was pumped out and found to contain
evidences of gastrit!s. The mans diet
was corrected. his tobacco cut Off, and
other remedies of Il hygienic kind were
applied. In few weeks the blindness
had disappeared
These facts seem to clear up the
mystery attaching in general to tobac-
co blindness. Some men can smoke t.
excess without impalring the eyes
while others are affected in that way
| by Il much smaller quantity Of smok
ing. This anomaly can be understood
when it is remembered that it is the
stomach and not the eyes upon whicl
] the nicotine acts directly. Some stom
achs can resist the poison making
force of the tobacco; others cannot
and it is those whose stomachs are ar
fected by the use of the weed that SUI
fer from blindness. Smokers should
therefore have an eye to their diges

COST OF SEEING
THE WORLDS FAIR.
For the Majority of Visitors II Will Be
Less Than Railroad Transportation
70 st. Louis and Return Would
Cost In Any Other Year.

From any point within 300 miles or
st. Louis a person may travel to the
Worlds Fair this year, view the Won
ders of the Exposition for three days
and expend less money than in any
otlSer year he would pay for train fare
alone
This may seem an astonishing state
ment. but it is a fact.
Railroad men have practically deter
mined that zone fare for the round
trip" will be the rate during the seven
important months of 1904. Public an
nouncement Of this only waits the pas
sage Of certain legislation concerning
"scalpers' " tickets and formal indOrse-
ment by the various passenger agents
associations.
With this fact in mind clear dem
onstration af the statement in the open
ing paragraph can be made.
The fare from Chicago is $50. or
SIS the round trip. So under the new
schedule $3.50 will be put down as the
railroad fare from that city to st
Louis and return. If you are ecenom-
ical. your per diem expenses In the
Worlds Fair City need not exceed those
given in this table:
Milford chronicle., 1904-04-08

Multiply S2.45 by 3, and you have
S7.35, the sum total for three days
sightseeing. Add to this the $3.50 rail-
road fare, and you have grand total
of Is cents less than the car fare alone
would cost you in any other year.
For this money you have thrown open
TO you the thirteen grand exhibition
palaces, the forty and more state build
ings. the fifteen and more foreign gov
ernment structures. the ten great stone
editices acquired temporarily from
Washington university. including the
Hall OF Congresses and the Physical
Culture Hall. with its adjoining Stadi
um. the Filipino Village and many
other pleasant places.
Should you desire to remain longer
than the three days you can do so with
out greater per diem expenditure
than given above.

of money to spend and desire certain
comforts and even luXuries, yet are not

CAMPAIGN FOR
LOCAL OPTION
TOTAL ABsTINANCE SOCIETY
SOUNDING CANDIDATES.
An Effort to Be Made to Secure Pas
sage of a County Local Option Law
Preliminary Steps Being Taken in
Pre-primary Campaign. -.... L., j.

, An active propaganda in favor of
the passage of a county local option
law for the regulation of the liquor
traffic has been started in this state
The initiative was taken by the Min
nesota Total Abstinence society, a Nor
wegian organization, but the movement
has. spread far beyond the limits of the
society's membership.
The agitation is not in the inter.
ests of the prohibition party nor have
the workers, as a rule, any active con
ment is intended to embrace ad
herents of all political groups and its
chief purpose is to get an expression
from candidates for seats in the legisla
ture as to their views on a county op.
ton law. All friends of law, order and
decency will be urged to support such
candidates as favor the county option
plan.
Such law is not a prohibition
measure. 1t would simply authorize
each county to decide for itself by an
election whether licenses to sell liquor
shall be issued. The subject has been
before the legislature on several oc-
casions, but has generally met with de-
ciSive defeat.
Among the well-known men identified
dent J. n. Kildahl of St. Olaf college,
yon, Mimi; President O. Lokensgaard
of the normal school at Madison, MINI.
President Chr. Ytrehus of the Nor:
,wegian Free church; Rev. 3. E. Gynild
