FAILING EYESIGHT.
Caused by Improper Food.

Writers who live sendentary lives and
who use coffee are apt to be troubled
by faulty vision, which they usually
attribute to overwork- That they are
sometimes mistaken is proved by the
following statement from an old news
paper man:
For nearly forty years 1 have earned
my living with the pen. A few years
ago l began to suffer from occasional
blind spells My vision frequently be-
came obscured by what may be called
Kaleidoscope blurs, in which constantly
changing figures like wheels, stars, etc,
fiOated before my eyes. making it i'm
possible for me to work while they last

heavy headaches.
MY physicians, two of them advised
me that my eyes had become weakened
by overwork. 1 consulted an oculist,
but he could not discover the cause of
the trouble. / bought stronger glasses.
but they did not help me.
Last summer, while living tempo
rarily in a boarding house. 1 found the
very weak coffee thing TO complain of.
till suddenly I discovered that my
blind spells were becoming less fire.
quent 1 then satisfied myself by ex-
periments that il was coffee that was
deranging my optic nerves.
"A friend advised me TO try Postum
coffee. and although L had no faith in 1t.

There's a reason. Coffee is a narcotic
that breaks down the cells in the nerve
centers, and unless nature succeeds in
repairing the damage each day. disease

more organs It may be eyes in one,

sure way TO certainly know is to quit
coffee ten days and use Postum. If the

BIG DRAINAGE PROJECT
Legislature to Be Asked by Property
Owners to Amend an Exist

The owners of a big acreage, of land
lying between the Jordan river and Great
salt lake are preparing a petition TO the
state legislature asking for a modification
OF an existing law and comforting upon
them the right 10 form an incOrpOra ton
which viii enable them to partially drain
what they believe TO be one of the richest
tracts of agricultural land in this state.
The tract contains 10000 acres, and If the
salt water can be carried awey il is de-
clared by the owners that the present
waste of sage brush will soon give way
to green fields and truck farms of great
value Wherever it has Deen possible TO
carry off the salt the ground has readily
yielded to cultivation. and there are sew
eral small ranches that attest the rich
ness of the soil From the Jordan river
there is a fall of 81 feet to the lake, and
from burst lake the distance Is about
il miles. 1t is estimated that the main
drainage canal can be constructed for
about $50, 600. An effort has also been
made to get the irrigation department Of
the federal government to take the mat
ter UP. The Saltair railroad passes
through the center of the tract and would
prove a valuable adjunct TO it's develop
