three hours daily, the muscles IN the
average persons eyes are under q
whole or part Of the reading strain
for at least fourteen hours. When we
consider that the nerves suppl wing
those muscles comprise one-tenth Of
the entire nerve supply Of the body we
can readily see how the abnormal and
irritated condition there will upset
the whole nervous system. All parts
Of machine must be perfect or IT
cannot run properly. It's continued
use in defective dition is certain
to bring i'll effects The proper thing
to do, is to have the eyes carefully ex-
ahmed by one thoroughly proficient
and follow out faithfully instruct lions
given for their care.
Every child's eyes should be ex-
amined by q competent specialist and
If there is any trouble manifest it
should be attended to at once; by
prompt attention to this the necessity
Of wearing glasses through life is often
avoided.

And Instructive Facts About
the Eyes
BY pr. w. II. Z. Bennett,
WHO HAS CHARGE OF THE oPTi-
CAL DEPARTMENT. OF. THE FIRM.
or j. b. COOK q co.

From careful compilation OF records
kept, and observation, 1t has been def
nitely proven that ninety per cent Of
all eyes are defective. AS ninety per
cent Of those persons have exception
ally good vision the above statement
would seem a paradox until we under
stand the connection.
Short sightedness is seldom harmful
to the patient except from the fact
that he or she cannot see clearly in
the distance. It is very seldom that
any absolute injury to the eyes. or the
system, follows moderate degree OF
this defect. This short sighted person
cannot under any condition focus rays
of light from q distant object upon the
retina Of the eye. Nature realizing
this makes no effort hence there Is
no strain. The strain to this eye
comes from close work, the detailed
explanation Of which here would take
up too much space $5s.
Now we come to the far-sighted eye,
the real trouble breeder. Possessors
OF those eyes usually boast Of their ex-
ceptional sight, but they do not boast
Of the vertical lines between the
brows, their nervous irritability their
indigestion, their headaches, etc,
which are often direct result Of this
defect, nor do they realize that they
are sacrificing 50 much comfort to
that exceptionally good vision.
There are certain muscles IN and
attached to the eyeball which were
only supposed ODE used to focus the
light properly when looking at objects
near to one. The person with pair
Of FAR sighted eyes has to use those
same muscles continuously from the
time he arises until he goes to bed IN
order to get focus; SO where nature
only intended them to be used abou,

CHEESE
PROF. WILEY, GOVERNMENT OF
FiciAL CHEMIST, GIVES AN
OPINION.
PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW If
CHEESE is MADE FROM
SKINNED MILK.
. CHEESE

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune.
" New York, April lin a letter
addressed to the members of the New
York Cheese trade, DR.. Wiley, oficia1
chemist OF the department OF agricul-
ture, replies to certain questions cover
ing the designations Of certain styles
of cheese: 81 have no authority to fix
names for cheese made of milk which
does not have the standard quantity Of
fat. Milk whose fat content falls be-
low the required amount is regarded.
as SKINNED milk or adulterated,
whether it is entirely skinned or NOT.
When milk from which the cream has
been partly removed Is used in max
ing 1t. OF course, does not represent the
standard cheese recognized as such
Az to the suggestion that all cheese.
not up to the standard be branded as
skinned milk cheese, It would be
5misbranding, as cheese containing 3(li
per cent OF milk fat is not skim milk
cheese any more than It is a full cream
cheese, think that you mistake the
meaning of the terms. SKINNED milk
Is SKINNED milk, even II all the fat
has not been used. The moment4any
portion Of the milk Is removed the resi-
due becomes skinned milk. In the
standards for cheese You will see that
skinned milk cheese would be the
proper designation for the article Of
which you speak You win notice that
| the word cream" or full cream, is
not used in the standard for cheese,
since these terms are misleading. I
think no objection can be raised to the
manufacture OF cheese from skinned
milk, and It ID doubtless better In
some climates than that made from
unskimmed milk, but 1t should not be
represented as cheese without some
qualifying word. There ID no doubt III
lmy mind that the national law as well
as the state law, intends that the Gus.
toner shall be notified whether cheese
lis made of SKINNED milk or not =

Cats and Fish.

a sea captain tells OF his sailing IN
southern seas where flying fish abound.
They would sometimes In their fight
In the night come aboard the ship and
drop on the deck. He had three cats
that, though they were lying asleep be-
low, would hear the sound whenever q
fish struck the deck and would rush up
to get it They distinguish this from
all other sounds. The crew tried to
initiate It In various ways, but could
not deceive the cats.

8, Co.-"In to-day's market SO intense
was the dullness. so far and few the
transactions. and so narrow the range Of
fluctuations that even the room traders
quit in disgust. so that the transactions
at . o'clock were less than 10000 shares,
and the last hour was as dull as the pre-
cediug four. The closing prices were prac-
tic6lly unchanged % q shade lower in one
or two stocks. or news, there was none,
except some routine announcements. In
so narrow a market and one so devoid
Of interest, il is almost impossible to
