Chicago, June 20--No ore can
go into our schools or meet "a
group of children on the street
without noticing how large number
OF them wear spectacles. The proper.
ton seems to increase yearly, and
there are many more who ought to
wear glasses. The experience of one
teacher might be duplicated by the
score She knew Alice was inatten-
tive and she thought she was unusual
ly stupid. She said so to the principal
and sent note to the mother, re-
questing that the child be helped at
home If she wished her to keep up
with her class. One day after black
board explanation, the teacher called
upon the child and found that she
had not seen what had been written.
She was kept after school and by dint
of much sympathetic questioning Miss
G. found that Alice had never been
able to see what was put on the board
and that her head had ached so often
and so hard that she frequently failed
to hear what was said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack Of proper food, but In our Ameri-
can homes 1t Is usually due to the
poor quality of the artificial light. The
yellow, insufficient light Of the ordi-
nary kerosene lamp, with its smoky
chimney, Is about as bad for the eyes
as can be imagined. The Pickering
light from a coal gas Jet is but little
better, and even the electric light,
brilliant as 1t usually is, has an un-
steadiness due to variations In power,
and a glare peculiarly trying to the
delicate nerves of sight. The compar-
atively new illuminant acetylene gas
produces as nearly perfect an artificial
light as has yet been found. 1t gives
q clear white, unwavering light, very
brilliant yet perfectly soft. and so
nearly like the rays Of the sun that
even colors appear as in daylight.
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced, and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where a light Is needed. 1t Is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene Is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches,
schools and institutions Of all kinds,
and 1t Is reasonable to expect that as
its use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, particu-
larry among children. Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention of the
Order Of Railway Conductors recent.
ly held at Portland, Oregon, resolu.
lions were unanimously adopted voic-
Ing their sentiments as to the effect
OF proposed railway rate legislation
on the 100000 railroad employees,
whom they in part represented. These
resolutions Endorse the attitude Of
President Roosevelt in condemning
secret rebates and other illegalities,
and commend the attitude of the
heads Of American Railways, who,
with practical unanimity, have Joined
with the president on this question"
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the individuality Of legis-
lation vesting in the hands of com.
mission power over railway rates,
now lower by far in the United
States than In any other country"
because such regulation would result
In litigation and confusion and in.
eyltably tend to an enforced reduc-
ton in rates, irrespective of the ques-
ton Of the ability Of the railroads to
stand the reduction, especially in view
OF the increased cost of their supplies
and materials" They further protest.
ed against such power being given to
the present Interstate Commission
because "the proposed legislation is
not in harmony with our idea OF
American jurisprudence, inasmuch as
1t contemplates that single body

Its decisions at the cost of the car

The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation II any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that

result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country

same time recognition has been giver

Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dodd'e
Kidney Pills.
Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.-The case
of W. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested In medical
matters as one Of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
Eeatment that the doctors were giving
PIN seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two Of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodds
Kidney Pills. l gave him three Pills a
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth
day the swelling was all gone, but to
give the medicine justice, gave him
eleven more pills. l used thirty-five
Pills in all and he was entirely cured.
l consider your medicine saved my
child's life. When the thirty-five Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing, whereas before he was an
invalid in his mothers arms from
morning until night"

FEED THE BIRDS.
shelves Where They May AIight Safe
From Stealthy Cats.

enciNeS Where Ihey May Aiight Safe
From SteaIthy Cats.
Many people make practice Of
throwing crumbs on the snow or
ground near the door, habit which,
even though lazy in its method, would
be commendable, were it not for GER
tain drawbacks which should bar it in
most cases, says Country Life in
Americas Christmas Annual. It is
true that birds soon learn to look for
these crumbs, but equally true is it
hat cats also learn that crumbs at
tract birds. and, according to instinct,
eats regard bird simply as an article
Df food, to be procured by the easiest
possible method. Another objection is
that some birds dislike feeding on the
ground. Whether they consider it
dangerous, or whatever their reason,
they must be hard-pressed by hunger
before they will come down to the food.
The question of what sort Of shelf to
use is not of any great Importance
So long as it is placed beyond the
reach of cats, the form matters very
little. If you wish to have an abso-
lutely cat-proof contrivance, about as
easy way as any is to nail narrow
strip of half-inch board (say four feet
long and three inches wide) to a tree.
bevel the upper edge SO that cat can
not get foothold, and place the feed
lng-shelf at the end farthest from the
tree. In order to prevent the small
food. such as nuts, from blowing OFF.
1t Is well to have a rim.

Suns Heat Purely Electrical.

Prof. NJ. A. G. Himalaya, a Portu.
guese priest, who invented the pyrhe-
liophore, or sun motor, has issued a
bulletin giving results of his expert
ments with the machine at the worlds
lair. Most important of these is the
discovery the inventor says he has
made that the heat of the sun is pure
ly electrical. The bulletin reads in
part:
Professor Himalaya finds that the
heat of the sun is not produced by
Impact of the aerolites on the solar
mass, or by contraction of the social
ed solar nebulae, or by oxidation, or
chemical reaction or by ratio-activity.
He has discovered that solar radiation
Is the result of unceasing and power
tul electrical discharges in the solar
atmosphere, which is the hottest zone
Of that heavenly body. Consequent
" the sun and stars are heated from
the outside, and they are neither more
nor less than immense incancescent
and indestructible electric lamps de-
voted to lighting Infinite space. Pro
fessor Himilaya has succeeded in
finding the source Of this energy. and
he has settled scientifically the pos
sibility of utilizing in future this and
some other primitive and perpetual

WHY NOT PREACH?
Ministers Who Think Fewer Men Are
Now Attracted by the Pulpit.

In an article in Worlds Work on
THE Decline of the Ministry" Ey-
erett T. Tomlinson raises the ques-
ton What deters men from enter
ing the ministerial profession?" Mr..
Tomlinson gives the result of his cor.
respondence:
The replies and explanations of 20
successful ministers, condensed and
classified, are as follows:
/. The lack of freedom. The min
lister is looked upon too much as one
who is hired or employed. If he de-
viates from the theological position he
assumed when in his experience and
immaturity he declared his views,
then he is certain to feel the force
OF the opposition often shutting him
out even from opportunities of labor
and service. He is looked upon not
as the minister of Christ but as the
minister of the church. He is expect,
ed to be defender of the faith rath.
er than teacher or a student.
2. The short and shortening period
of service. The reasonable certainty
that after he is 40 years of age his
services will be less in demand, and
the dead-line of so no imaginary
boyle.
The difficulty of maintaining a home
on the meagre salaries given. That
clergyman's salary usually was a lit.
tie less than what was expected OF
him.
4. The continual shifting of his
home and field
5. His subsection to pettiness of
the attacks and demands of petty peo-
pie.
s. The present beneficiary sys.
tem," which degrade sthe entire body.
These 20 men, every one of whom
is a successful pastor, were asked If
they had their lives to live over again
il they would select the work they
were now doing. Seven replied Eyes"
enthusiastically, three were somewhat
undecided, nine replied mo" positive
ly, and one declared that if he could
avoid being ordained he would be
only too glad to take up the work.
And every man of the 20 declared
tnat preaching" in itself was the
highest pleasure of his life.

H., HAVE oAN-~ IT.
q Lot OF TroubIs Fra,n Too Much Starch
Food.

A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food, was always nervous and
suffered from a weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and after
the operation the doctor, knowing that
his intestinal digestion was very weak,
put him on Grape-Nuts twice day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states,
He has grown to be strong, muscular,
and sleeps soundly, weighs 62 pounds,
and his whole system is in fine con-
dition of health" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
1t is plain that if he had been put on
Grape-N at an earlier period in his
life, and kept from the use of foods
that he could not digest, he never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes, setting
up a diseased condition which is the
active cause Of appendicitis, and this
is more marked with people who do not
properly digest white bread.
Grape-Nuts is made of the selected
parts Of wheat and barley end by the
peculiar processes Of the cooking at the
factory, all OF the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment OF
all parts Of the body, particularly the
brain and nerve centres.
