LOST EYESICHT
Through Coffee Drinking.

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves of
the body. Personal experience with
thousands prove the general statement
true, and physicians have records of
great numbers of cases that add to the
testimony.
The following is from the Rockford,
ILL.,. Register Gazette:
DR.. William LanghOrst, of Aurora.
has been treating one of the queerest
cases of lost eyesight ever in history.
The patient is o. A. Leach, of Beach
County, and in the last four months he
has dOctored with all of the specialists
about the country and has at last re-
turned home with the fact impressed
on his mind that his case is incurable.
A portion of the optic nerve has been
ruined, rendering his sight so limited
that he is unable to see anything be-
fore him, but he can see plainly any
thing at the side of him There have
The midland journal., 1906-01-19

been but few cases of its kind be-
fore, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been q great cof-
fee drinker, and the specialists have
decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that for
several years he had drank three cups
of coffee for breakfast, two at noon
and one at night. According to the
records of the specialists of this coun-
try this is the first case ever caused
by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case IS incurable. The fact that
makes the case queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
ing to the doctors statement the young
man will have 70 give up coffee or the
rest of his sight will follow and the
entire nerve be ruined.-Register ga

COMMERCIAL

4. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Trade Re-
view says
Wholesale business is becoming more
active and The volume of shipments IS
up to the standard for this time of the
year. Clothing manufacturers report
sales OF light weights slightly ahead OF
last years and prices are higher, but col
lections are not up TO expectations. The
spring season in dry goods has not fully
opened, but statesmen on the road are
sending in fair orders, and reports from
the South indicate that conditions III that
section are very favorable.
THE week in boots and shoes has
been only moderate, but sales of rubber
footwear have been large owing 10 the
inclelnent weather. Manufacturers OF
straw hats are very busy, and there IS
brisk demand for skirts and shirtwaists.
Owing to the holidays, trade in lumber
at wholesale has been quiet, though prices
are firm and money easy, and prospects
for the current year are exceptionally
good Machinery supply dealers report
a good volume of business and collec-
tions better than for some time past.
Furniture factories are fairly busy,
with prices unchanged and collections
improving. Wholesale trade in drugs
and chemicals is improving, though col
lections are unsatisfactory. The Leaf
tobacco market is inactive, money is tight
and prices high. Manufacturers of har-
ness are doing brisk business, collec-
tions are prompt and values strong.

Story Of a Medford Warrior.

Capt James c. D. Clark of the
Lawrence Light Guards of Medford,
Mass, was a speaker at recent
camp fire of civil and Spanish war
veterans, and related the following
story:
A Medford man, quaint character
Of Irish birth, returned from the civil
war with an undisputed record of
hard and meritorious service in the
army.
The younger generation. hearing of
his bravery, tried unsuccessfully to get
his own version of his part in the
bloody struggle.
One day, finding himself besieged
by number of persistent questioners,
the modest warrior consented to

Love for the Old Home.

Mankind is nomadic, Ind while the
sweetest poetry in the language is in
spired by the old home, the monu-
mental work in the world has been ac-
complished in tho main by those who
left the parental roof to pursue else
where the quest for fortune, fame and
high success. Nevertheless, the love
for the old home abides. The re-
union of those who remain and those
who have departed is an occasion
that will stir the pulse of any com
munity in which such a soulful event
takes place. The pretty announce
ment was made by newspaper in
little New England town which was
about to celebrate its old home week
that "the Jones boys have arrived
and Charles will preach in the Pres
byterian church on Sunday" A little
waif of news like that revives old
times and pays for all the prepara-
ton of "old home week. ."-Philadel-

a Station Without siqnaIs.

There is no chance of a signalman
making mistake at Wanstrow Sta
tion-the smallest on the Great West

that there are no signals, and, conse-
quently, no signalman. The station is
situated on the Wells branch of Som

form about "a yards long and small
waiting room. In the waiting-room is
a fire CRATE. and on the platform one

other staff is kept at Wanstrow, the
station being under the supervision
of the Witham station master, who
pays occasional visits to the place to
see that everything is in order. In
the winter platelayer makes fire
in the waiting-room, attends to it dur
ing the day, and lights the platform
