MEASLES.

II is a well known fact that more
latent eye strain is developed and
shown up by measles than any one
disease.
Thousands of people date their
EYE DISCOMFORT from the time
they we're afflicted with this disease.
AS there is now an epidemic of
Measles throughout the valley, peo-
pie win do well to heed the warning
of EYE TROUBLE and secure for
their EYES the best protection pos
slble.
Care about too much light and
strain by reading at the time of hay
ing the measles and. and If you have
an error of refraction, properly fitted
GLASSES after recovery, is about the
only protection possible.

Washington, Jan. 2s. - Consul
Haynes, at Nanking, China, informed
the state department. today that the
famine in the empire is ten times
worse than anything known there for
forty years.
DIR. Henry M. Woods, of the South
ern Presbyterian mission at Hwai-An-
Flu, has informed him that 100000
people are seriously affected by the
famine and that about 100000 are
absolutely destitute and on the verge
of starvation. He refers to the pitt
full sight of parents offering their chill
dren for sale for from 81 to 81. This
is seen daily on the streets of a large
number of towns in the northern and
of the province of Kiangsu. He says
that brigandage and robbery are ev-
erywhere rife. 1t appears that the
cause of the famine was the floods
caused by unusually heavy rains dur
ing June and July of 1906. The Off
cial in charge of the Grand Canal, and
to avert local flood, turned the vast
mass of water into the southern cOun-
try, flooding it for miles from one to
six feet in depth before the wheat har-
vest had been gathered and threshed.

SHIPPERS HAPPY
ENOUGH FREIGHT CARS
This Citv is a Central Point Of the
Panhandle Freight Lines Thus Civ
ing the Local Shippers Satisfactory
Service.

While most all of the other towns
upon the Pennsylvania railroad OF
Richmond's size are clamoring for
better freight service. Richmond ship
pers are taking things easy, as they
are supplied with all the freight cars
they need, in that Richmond is a GEN.
trail point Cars partly loaded center
ing in Richmond but whose freight
goes to one point, are unloaded and all
freightsloaded in one car. 1t has been
known that as high as five freight
cars whose contents were bound for
eastern points have been unloaded
and all placed in one car, leaving four
in Richmond for the use of Richmond
manufacturers.
At the present time freight condi-
tions on the Pennsylvania are bad at
Anderson. Ind, but that being a CEN
tral division point of the Big Four"
the Anderson manufacturers are con-
tented, they receiving the same SER
vice from the Big Four as do the
manufacturers from the Pennsylvania
an this city.
