RELIEVE EYES OF STRAIN.
Those Engaged In Close Work Should
frequently Rest Tired Eyes By
Looking at Distant Objects.

II 10 no myth that those who live IN
cities have a troubled vision and
strained, tired look about the eyes the
country people neve have.
Look at the man or who works
In a shop, or at a desk, or in a close room
for days, months and years, and you will
see the difference between their eyes and
the eyes that dwell constantly upon q
clear stretch of horizon.
1t Is impossible for the eye to have
that soft clear look 1t should retain.
upon objects that are against the face.
Eyes need a wide perspective to keep
them clear.
The short days of winter. the dark
lays of autumn, which require constant
light in the face by which one works, is
fatal to the expression of the eyes. 1t
causes lines at the corners. little bags
under the lower e~yelashes, and Q
strained line between the brows. II
may give what foreigners call our alert,
eager" look. but 1t is not an attractive
one and robs the face OF all peace and
quiet.
1t 10 impossible for the workers Of the
world to change the vision in front OF
them to the wider one of nature, but
here are dozens of ways in which they
can rest the eyes 30 that the strained
look and the tired expression will be
modified and held at bay.
The best eXpedient offered the Office

windows afford no small view, is to hans
on the wall pictures of mountains. o.

This may sound like theoretical ad
vice. but try it once and you will SCI
how practical it Is.
Don't put portraits, maps, or any o
that kind of decoration on the wall.

There Is Less and Less Of Calling NsV
Required, But Certain obliga-
lions Should Be Observed.

There Ia no possible doubt that each
season obligatory calls grow less, for
the demand upon time Of men and
ONE In society Is so great that it
would be well-nigh impossible to make
as many calls as formerly. and SO it Is
that dinner calls remain almost the
only ones exacted. That Is not to say
that others should be neglected when
ones time is not too full, but a woman
who has engagements for every hour
OF the day can make very few visits.
says the Washington Times.
Nothing but death or serious illness
can excuse a dinner call not being
made promptly. one week after the
dinner, or within two weeks at the
longest. Luncheon calls should be re-
garded as obligatory, and be paid
about as promptly as dinner visits, but
the truth Ia more time Is taken for
them, for the entertainment IL not re-
garded as tremendously as a dinner.
1t Is strange that there should yet be
doubt In the minds Of some women as
to whether or not q tea requires q call
afterward. 1t Ices not.

OF q friend. offers the hospitality of
her home to a woman with whom she
Is unacquainted. 1t Is not incumbent
upon her to return the visit paid her
by the stranger after the entertain
ment unless she feels inclined to do
so. 1t Is a matter Of preference.
A man who has been entertained
through the courtesy of a mutual &C.
q%uaintance pays his call Of obligation.
After that he does not repeat his visit
unless his hostess extends further in.
vitations to him.
A oma who Is too i'll to return or
make calls often makes them by
proxy. Sisters or daughters are dele
gated to fulfill this duty. and visits
so paid count in every way like those
paid by principals. Among the little
difficulties that frequently arise in pay.
ing calls is the problem of the ac-
companying friend or relation.
Thus, il the who owes q
call has staying with a friend or re-
lation. is it allowable to have the
visitor accompany her in making a
call?
According to the best usage there
is no objection whatever to the guest
accompanying her hostess and being
introduced. However, il the friend
called upon is out, the card of the ac-
c~Ompanying friend is not left-the call
not being in any sense from her.
Again, If a friend Is staying with
people unknown to her, a woman
sometimes finds herself in doubt as to
the proper course to pursue.
1t is perfectly correct to call on
friend without knowing her hostess
but the caller must in courtesy ash
, to see the mistress of the house. anC
leave a card for her.
For this reason It Is always impos
sible to call upon a friend while sht
is staying with people with whom 20,

fore Judge Paul Bennett of Kern, came
to an end this morning when the plain

entered a motion for a non-Suit in the
case, the motion being a lengthy one
and giving a total of thirty-one rea-
sons why such non-suit should be
granted.
The motion for the non-suit in gen.

that by any act of the defendant has
the water plane in this artesian basin
been lowered. 1t is claimed that in
divers ways and at divers times the
plaintiffs have agreed to the acts of
the defendants. 1t is also claimed that
the plaintiffs are improperly Joined in
