Hundreds of dozens of eggs are
sold in Tacoma every year as

the discovery of Dr.. Wiley is the
first real inexpensive test that
may knock the fraud in the head.

The New York board Of education
has carried out at last its project I'M
der discussion for some time Of in
sorting in all schoolbooks a little
printed slip containing the following
warnings and suggestions with regard
to the care Of the eyes:
Your eyes are worth more to you
than any book. Your safety and your
success in life depend on your eyes,
therefore take care Of them. Always
hold your head up when you read.
Hold your book fourteen inches from
your face. BE sure that the light is
clear and good. Never read with the
sun shining directly on the book; new
er face the light in reading. Let the
light come from behind or over your
left shoulder. Avoid books or papers
printed indistinctly or in small type.
Rest your eyes by looking away from
bii' Dffth tNtA low Ai'AANhNHf NANNi'-'N
your eyes night and morning with
pure water.
II all the other directions are fol-
lowed. the final one, regarding the
washing of the eyes, will not need to
be considered, for healthy eyes
cleanse themselves A great deal of
trouble with the eyes is due to facing
glaring lights. People who are in
terested in their work or I'm reading
often strain the eyes for long periods
at a time without realizing what they
are doing. for the reason that their
minds are intent on their occupation
From this arises the necessity Of inn
pressing upon people while they are
young the necessity Of forming cor
rect habits as to the use Of the eyes
and as to guarding against sitting
down TO a task under conditions with
reference to light which will put those
organs to unnecessary strain.

Counting Arizona and New Mexico as

ANIMALS IN COLD WEATHER.


The wild animal that minds cold the
least is undoubtedly the rabbit. Indeed
IL is said that the rabbit Is, of all
warm blooded creatures, the most cap
able of withstanding very low temper
atures. A rabbit which had got into
a block of ice was imprisoned there
twelve hours. when freedom was fin
any secured, it began almost instantly
TO feed.
Hares. too, can stand lot of cold so
long as they can get food. The Al

II reports are well founded, and
they seem to be. Gov.-elect Osborn
has laid out for himself a most spec
ious program as an apostle of reform
alton in the conduct of state affairs,
ell OF which will be set forth in his
FIRST message to the legislature. Not
only does he propose to revamp and
expand the state board of health and
wipe out various useless boards, but
he also has his axe whetted for several
other departments, which, he believes,
are sadly in need of being brought up
to date.
Some little time ago it was an
nounced that the governor elect
would taboo the usual ceremonies at
tendant upon inauguration. Especial
" was it pointed out that there would
be an entire absence of gold lace in
the personnel of the "tin soldier dis
play, meaning that the governor elect
will forego all personal pomp and let
the spotlight shine on his message.
Now the governor goes further and
has let it be known that he win have
no use for military aids. and that he
will not appoint the usual personal
staff. This inkling has a wealth of
meaning concealed in it, and the state
ment can be made that Gov.-elect Os-
born is now working on plans to reor-
ganize the national guard and place it
on a footing more closely allied to the
regular army.
This reorganization will not affect
the rank and file, but it will result in
doing away with the great number of
brigadier- generals and colonies, who
adorn the pay roll.
Gov.-elect Osborn is convinced that
efficiency and economy demand that
there should be just one brigadier-
general. who would be the brigade
commander in all that the title i'm
plies. and that the various functions
now performed by the members Of the
military board should be done by the
members of the brigade commanders
staff, who would rank as high as ma
jors. This would eliminate a lot Of wire
pulling and permit the guard to get
down TO work, by eliminating the us
ual internal dissensions. Just what
method the governor will take Of sell
Getting the brigade commander has not
yet been made plain, but he is convin-
ced that If the national guard is to be
made of value TO the state and nation,
the frills must be cut out and he is
working to bring about that end.
There are also good grounds for in
ferring that the governor-elect has
also under consideration the reorgani-
cation of the state game. fish and fire
warden's department. which has long
been a political institution. The gov
ernor- elect was himself state game
and fish warden under Gov. Rich and
so he has pretty fair line Of the de-
partments. It is believed that he will
recommend that the preservation OF
game and FISH should come under the
control Of a commission and should be
segregated entirely from the protec-
ton OF the forests OF the state. a
game warden is useless as a fire war
den for the reason that IL he does his
duty. he is in bad and gets very little
assistance. Besides, the governor
thinks that the conservation OF thu
forests is a distinct problem and en-
trely removed from the protection o
game and fish.
