Causes of Blindness.

The dangers to which the modern eye
is exposed fall into two great classes
disease and overuse from near work.
Here another great consoling fact faces
us, and that is that while overwork
and consequent eye strain are by far
the commonest troubles that befall the
modern eye, discomfort and inefficiency
are as far as they go in 80 cases out
of 100. 1t is a fact that 80 $40 per
cent. of all blindness is due to disease
and not to overwork.
More significant yet, seven-tenths of
the diseases which produce blindness
are the acute infections, against which
civilization wages an unceasing and
victorious confict-Woman's Home

which deals with figures. 1t boots lit

It is interesting to note amid the
senseless squeals and whines of the

incurred the contempt OF the publiS

The clarksburg Board OF Trade,
comprised OF many of the leading
business men Of the city. merchants,
manufacturers. bankers, lawyers and
Others, is, the most active of those
who viii support the bond issue. The
Board of Trade is an organization,
whose chief objects and its entire oh
1ects. are to promote the interests
of the city and community, to see
that the welfare of the people as a
whole Is looked after and to lend
its efforts to every public alnder-
taking that is for the betterment Of
clarksburg. 1t is not a political or
sanization and 1t has never to the
knowledge of the Telegram engaged
in politics. Its members are free to
belong to the political party Of their
choice.
As an organization seeking the
welfare of the city and future for
It, the Board of Trade has been
largely responsible for the steps
taken for the proposed bond issue.
The board is satisfied with the pres
ent status of the movement and is
confidence the people will NOT take
the advice of designers against
the public welfare and vote against
a proposition that is to he beneficial
to them.
Men principally at the head Of
the movement are not politicians
and are not found actively engaged
in politics. They are men of prop
erty, men OF business, men who seek
not only to give the city what 1t
needs so badly now, but to provide
for its future. They are men who
want the property in the city safe
guarded from fire, men who want
the best domestic water service pos
sible, men who desire safety against
disease and epidemics, men who
urge that life and property should
be protected.
In view OF the character of the
men who are leading the movement
for better water works and sever
age systems the attacks made by the
opposition are outrages upon
honest. respectable, high-minded
citizenship that the community
should resent in the most emphatic
manner. 1t is not political matter,
as shown by the fact that men of all
parties are earnestly enlisted in the
movement. For instance, the mayor
OF the city. who was the nominee Of
me Democratic party. is an enthusi-
ast for the bond issue. while on the
other hand Republicans. as we'll as
democrats. in the council are for ii.
Republican and Democrat alike who
are members of the Board OF Trade
and other organizations, are for it
alike. ~ =
