discussed all phases of the income tax
question.
OF these Mr.. Newlands was the last
speaker and when he concluded Mr.. AL
drich took the floor and made request for
a unanimous vote on the corporation tax
amendment at l O'Clock tomorrow Pre-
vious to presenting his request there had
been much comforting between Mr.. AL
drich and Messrs. Bailey, Cummins Bo-
rah and other opponents of the amend
ment, and it was generally supposed that
they had reached an understanding that
the vote should be taken tomorrow, as
suggested by Mr.. Aldrich. When it seem
ed that such a compact was probable
Senator CumminS came to the front with
an objection.
While many senators were dis
pleased with the idea that because of
the then parliamentary status of the
corporation amendment it was not ca
pab'e of modification, the Iowa soma
tor took the reverse position. He OPP
posed the agl cement because the pr
vision would be amendable in case it
should be submitted for the Lodge
countervailng duty provision. which
theory was that there should be a
square vote on the issue as it had been
presented and on which there would be
no opposition for debate. He therefore
entered formal objection to the unanl-
nous agreement, which not only had
had the effect of preventing the fixing
of the vote for tomorrow but of forcing
it to-day.
Even after Mr.. CumminS' objection
had been recorded and Mr. A1drich had
called for Il vote it looked as if he
would be disappointed, Senator Fra
zier, who has been a supporter of the
income tax amendment and an oppo-
ncnt of the corporation tax, was alb
sent from the chamber on account of
illness. Desiring that he be present
when the vote was taken, Mr. Bailey
took the floor and announced his de-
termination to hold it until Mr.. Fra
Zier could make his appearance. Mr.
the Texas senator yielded and the
voting began.
The first vote was upon The motion
to substitute the corporation tax
amendment Cor the Lodge amendment
and this prevailed by vote of IL to
81. The affirmative veto was cast en-
tirely by Republicans and even Scna-
tor McEncry of Louisiana. who has

LOST HEALTH RAYS.
Astounding Fact That the Best Part
of Sunlight Never Reaches the Eye.

A remarkable fact, not known here
tofore to the laity, and seemingly but
little recognized by the profession, has
been brought to light by a recent dis
covery. 1t seems, from facts now first
presented, that the material used for
eyeglass and spectacle lenses thou
sands OF people are wearing, will not
admit to the eye that part of light
giving health and vigor; in fact, ex-
cludes most of the so-called health
rays of sunlight discovered by the
Danish scientist, Finsen, some years
ago. This. is the part of light that
gives health and vigor to plants as
well as to animal life.
1t is now believed that the many in
creaSing eye troubles of the last few
years, and the apparent degeneracy
OF the organ, are largely due to this
deficiency in present eyeglass lenses.
This has been known among more ad-
vanced optical students for some years
but it seems that the manufacturers
of spectacle and eyeglass lenses gave
it no attention. :.
Several attempts have been made to
discover new formula for optical
glass that would admit all natural
light in proper proportions, but with
out success until quite recently, when
after several years experimentation
there has been perfected a lens sub
stance that will admit to the eye these
lost health rays in their natural pro-
portions. The optical profession is
agreed that this is destined to be one
of the most valuable discoveries of re-
cent years.
The lens is now being manufactured
in Topeka by the Health-Ray Lens
company, and is sold by the leading
Opticians of this city. Any of the fol-
lowing will demonstrate and supply
this new and better lens: w. ]. Lew
