EYE STRAIN

EYE ST KAHN
And Officially Impaired Vision.
By the term Eye Strain is de
noted that condition of the
visual apparatus wherein mus
cular effort is constantly requir-
ed in order to maintain acute
vision.
This strain or effort is usually
without the knowledge of the in
dividual other than that pro-
duced in the indirect way
through nervous exhaustion, and
its following of associated con
ditions.
A great many people suffer
from the effects of Eye Strain
without knowing the cause.
Those who suffer from head

similar trout les, should have
their eyes attended to. DIR.

THE NEW DIPLOMACY.
Or. Hills Scholarly Contribution to q
German Review.

Or. David Jayne Hill, the new Amer
lean ambassador to Germany, contrib
utes to a monthly review his opinions
of modern diplomacy and the duties of
modern diplomats. Hitherto, he says,
the foundation on which diplomacy
rested was the doctrine of the absolute
sovereignty of states, Il doctrine that
each state existed for itself alone, and
the chief task of the diplomatist was
to help strengthen his own state by
weakening the others and destroying
competition from them in his own
country and injure their trade and in
duStry in other countries.
Now" says the ambassador, "a diff
ferent view prevails, and just as mod
ern political economists have over
thrown false economic doglnas like
that in regard to the mercantile system

HEAVY VOTE PROMISED
IN EIGHTH WARD
Balloting Expected to be
Unprecedented at
South Chicago.
MANY ARE LINED Up EARLY
Strong Detection to Derpa in Polish
District is Claimed by the
Democratic Party.

The total vote in the Eighth ward to-
day promises to be unprecedented in
| the history of an aldermanic campaign.
This is the information given out both
by the republican and democratic
managers
Many of the workingmen at the vari-
Gus polling places were lined up long
before O'Clock, wnen the polls were
opened, in order to vote early. which
would enable them to be at work at the
usual hour. The typical spring wealth
er was in measure, responsible for
the early voting and not few were re-
ported late at their places of emplcv-
ment.
Immediately following the early
morning rush there was an appreci-
able falling off in the casting of ball
lots. but by the middle of the forenoon
ana until l o'clock the heaviest voting
was done. However. the closing hours
brought forth great activity owing to
the fact that a vast number had de-
layed the matter until practically The
last moment None. it IS reported
failed to arrive too late
Election day was not aceompaniad
with the usual disturbances and fol-
lowing the closing of the polls at
O'Clock the watchers" asserted that
no ballots had been cast Other than by
those who were fully entitled to vote.
Attorney L. w. Carpenter one of the
managers of John Derpa, the demo-
cratic candidate. gave out this state
ment today: There has been de-
cided rally in the past few DAYS to
the support of Alderman Derpa and in
the Polish district especially the inter
est favorable to his election has been
something remarkable-in fact. far ex
ceeds anything l have ever yet wit
messed in campaign. Derpa will win
by more than double his majority two
years ago, which means from 900 to
400"
Ex-Aldernlan John H Jones wound
up his strenuous campaign late yes
terday afternoon by a trip to Hege-
wisch and general canvass over The
East Side. While none of his man
ayers could be located, he took occa-
sion to speak of the ultimate result to-
day. i feel perfectly safe in saying
that will carry the ward by from 700
to 1900. said Mr.. Jones, and any radi-
cal statements made to the contrary
