Many eye defects. Of course. are due
to the bad habits of their possessors.
Tobacco. for instance, is generally
held to impair their vision. usually in
juring the color sense SO that gold and
silver become indistinguishable Ac-
cording to some medical authorities,
again. the connection between eye
and tooth trouble is more than an old
wife's fable. In his book dealing with
the subject. Hancock relates the story
Of ~ boy who woke up one morning to
md himself blind. On examination,
his teeth were discovered to be
crowded together, and a few Of them
were removed. with the result that BY
evening he could distinguish between
light and darkness. More teeth were
removed. and in II days his sight was
fully restored. Other cases which
tend to show the connection between
eye and tooth trouble have also been
noted. Very frequently occupation has
much to do with one brother eye de-
feet. Thus. nystagmus II sometimes

Mother Makes Affidavit That
He Is Her Son

Mrs. Thompson Is In Serious Condi-
ton Result of Ordeal Which
She Has Quite Recently
Undergone

Luther C'Red) Thompson, who was
supposed TO have been killed in Paducah,
Ky, on April 10. is alive and unframed.
He has been acknowledged by his moth
err, who has made an affidavit to the
effect that Thompson is her son.
j. II. CURE. brother of Bert CURE,
who is in the Paducah Jail, charged with
the murder of Thompson, left last night
for Paducah with the affidavit, and will
attempt to free his brother by habeas
corpus proceedings. s.
1t seems that Thompson has been work.
ing in Dayton. Tenn, for some time
past and did not know of his own death.
On April 16 he read of his killing in
Chattanooga paper. but paid no at
tention to 1t until he was found several
days ago by j. H. CURE. CURE re-
quested him to come to Birmingham
to be identified by his mother and to aid
him (Guire) in an attempt to free Bert
CURE. Thompson arrived in Birmingham
last night, but owing to the illness of
Mrs Thompson was not positively iden-
titled until this morning when the Aft
davt was made. Mrs. Thompson has not
seen her son in several years, which
made the identification more difficult.

son yesterday, was the exact double of

sworn that he was my son, but I was

matter has almost killed me. but I hope

night and will remain here for the fu-
ture."
Mrs. Thompson is very i'll and serious
results are feared from the affair. The
question that is puzzing the authorities
