Serious Epidemic at Phoenix.

As the result of an eye examination of the Phoenix public schools by Dr. H. K. Beauchamp. city health officer. it was found that 60 were suffering from trachoma, 1926 have COT juDcti- vitis in one form CT another and only 745 out of the entire number have normal eyes.
 The trachoma patients h.ye been taken from the scboois and are seRre- gated. Unless drastic measures arc taken, the dreaded eye disease of the orient may become epidemic Super intendent Loper estimates that it will cost the school trustees at least 5000 to sta mp out the disease cspector.

LIGHT CIGARS NOT MILDEST
A Number of Facts of Interest to
 Smokers.

Probably there is not one smoker in
 8 thousand who is not surprised and,
 in fact, iDcredulous. when he is told
 that the color of cigar is absolutely
 DO guide to it's strength. Yet such is | the case and a fact we'll known to
 cigar manufacturers end importers.
 The belief of smokers tbat cigars of
 dsrk color are strong and those of
 lighter shade are nilder. Is, in point
 of fact .s fsils cious es 1t is general. | This is but ope of many delusions
 harbored by consumers of tobacco. and
 which practical cigar men have smiled
 at aud indulg ged from time imrBemorial. But of recent years the inclination of smokers toward light hued cigars has assumed the proportions of ''craze," and the producers are finding much difficulty in meeting the demand The manufacturers and Cuban tobacco raisers would now gladly correct the error; but. after having carefully class flied their products under the style of claros, colorados. maduros. etc. for decades, they find 1t next to impossible to dispel the delusion.
 A maker of Havana cigars nses but one grade or blend of tobacco in the body or filler of his cigars. Exactly the same stock is used in his Copchss ss in his Perfectos; in his claros as in his maduros. After the cigars are made, however, his "selector" takes tn. m In hand and classfes them ac- eording to the relative shades of the wrappers. This is done to effect ' uniformity Tn the appearance of each l box of cigars. and to enable the dealer to readily indulge the whims of the 1 self deluded smoker.
 Inasmuch as the wrapper constitutes not more than one tenth of the cigar, l 1t will readily be seen that the degree | ot it's strength or mildness ia very in | considerable in effect. In this connec | tion, however, it is interesting to note | that tobacco tradesmen versed in the | intricacies of the industry 'risidly bar the light colored wrapper from their own smoking tables. knowing that it generally indicates that the leaf was prematurely cut and improperly cured, and that it impairs the favor and i burn of the cigar. Oubans, who,- by the way. are notably partial to mild tobacco, avoid smoking light colored cigars just as they avoid eating green orange or an unripe banana.
 The prejudice of these natives and of tobacco tradesmen is logical one. and serves to throw into bold relief peculiar misconception of facts which is both amusing and embarrassing to vendors of the fragrant weed.
 Whether cigar smokers will ever awaken to the fact that dark cigar is. if anything. milder and invariably sweeter and more aromatic than light cigar, remains to be seen.-The To- bacco Leaf

foreseen, he came almost Immediately
to a realization that the firm would
not be able to meet the notes given to
Heinzman. Orde had depended on
the profits from the seasons drive to
enable him to make up the necessary
amount. Those profits would be
greatly diminished If not wiped out
entirely by the expenses, both regular
and irregular, incurred in holding the
jam.
I'll have to get an extension of
time" said Orde TO himself. "Of course
Joe will let me have more time on my
own personal note to the firm. And
Heinzman surely ought to. l saved a
lot of his logs in that jam. And if he
doesn't want to ! guess an offer of a
little higher interest will fetch him."
Finally he pulled up opposite the
Orde house. sprang up the walk and
into the front door.

When Newmark left. in the early
stages of the jam. he gave scant
thought to the errand on which he
had ostensibly departed. Whether or
not Orde got a supply of piles was TO
him a matter of Indifference. His
hope, or. rather. preference. was that
the jam should go out. but he saw
clearly that Orde. blinded by the swife
action of the struggle. was as yet I'M
