Danger of Reading in Bed.

A German physician, in order to in
vestigate the exact kind of injury which
reading in bed inf1icts upon those who
practice it, used himself for experiment.
al purposes. He found thus, by per-
sonal experience, that the eyes are made
TO suffer when in this position, for two
reasons-frst, because the light is u.s.
ually insufficient and badly placed fall
ing on the eyes instead of on the book
or paper; and second, because it is diff
ficult while reclining to hold a book SO
that the full benefit Of the used of both
eyes be obtained. This latter is esps-
cially the case when the reader is lying
on one side. Another bad habit is that
OF holding the book too near the eyes,
thus producing myopia. No one under
Is years of age should be allowed to
adj in bed. Since large number Of
persons, especially many chronic in
valids, will insist upon reading in bed,
suggestions by which the injurious ef-
fects can be mininized are as follows:
The light should be sufficiently bril-
liant, with the eyes shaded from it, and
the reader should lie on his back with
his head and shoulders raised For
both daytime and night reading the
greatest care must be taken to have the
light fall on book or paper and not on
the eyes,

Paper to Boom Petersburg.

Richmond, Va, April 5.-For the
purpose of using it principally to ad-
vertiss and advance the welfare of the
city, the cham Der of commerce of Pc
tersburg has secured an option on the
Petersburg Index-Appsal. This option
practically means sale. The proper
ty will probably be acquired within
the next few days. K. p. Barham,
editor OF the Index-Appeal, who has
been with the paper for years, will re-
main as chief editorial writer. The
name OF the business manager has not
been announced.
While the amunt to be paid for the
paper has not been made public, it is
said TO be somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
Under its new management the In
dex-Appeal will occupy rather unique
position. The public long ago realized
that corporation, for instance, could
not own and operate newspaper to
protect and foster its business but in
this case a commercial organization,
composed Of practically all Of the bust
ness people of the city, have purchased
one to help, the entire community.
Although the idea is somewhat novel,
the chambsr looked carefully int the
matter before deciding upon definite
plan of purchasing. Not being in poll
tics like municipality, the plan of the
chamber will be to develop along in
dustrial and educational lines.
If the above report from Richmond
is accurate, we are pleased to learn that
our friend, Mr.. r. p. Barham, is to be
continued rs editor. He has made his
paper one of the best and brightest in
the State.

In the report of the proceedings
of the Clifton city Council the Cop
per Era states that resolution was
passed endorsing the building of
the new wagon road on the east side
of the Frisco river to Patterson's s
addition, and to give the board of
supervisors power to finish the con-
tract. All well enough in its way,
and no doubt the road is needed,
therefore it should be built. No
protest against the expenditure of
money from the county's funds for
this road is heard from the west
end of the county. No one from
the west end of the county is SC
niggardly and mean to kick against
a betterment of road conditions in
the east end of the county. But
what is really surprising, is that
the Copper Era enters no protest
against taking the county's money
for building this road at Clifton.

RAILROAD CAREER OF JOHN G
STUBBS

From the Alleghenies to the
Pacific there is one man who is
credited with being able TO make
or break" a town, a farming coun
try, mining district, or even 8
newly formed state. That man is
John C. Stubs, traffic manager OF
the $1,000 miles of railroad of the
Hartman system.
In this position Mr.. Stubbs directs
| all the traffic, both freight and
passenger, over these lines and his
Judgment determines how many
cars are needed to move the crops
and transport the manufactured
and mineral products of that vast
territory.
His power is such that Californians
today are debating with heat wheth-
er the prosperity of their State is
due to his ability or whether the
State would not be twice as pros
porous if he had been more liberal
in his traffic provision and freight
rates.
The man who holds this power
started in life as freight clerk in
the Oakland office of the Central
Pacific Railroad, He was % years
old, back in 1869, when he entered
the business.
In the last forty years he has seen
