old GLASS AIDS BAD EYES
amethyst Tinted Lenses Made From
Sun-Baked Panes Cure Certain
Kinds of Blindness.

Philadelphia.-A discovery of great
value to those whose sight has been
impaired by working under artificial
light has been made in this city. It
WAS learned the other day that ame3
thyst tinted lenses made from win,
dow pane glass taken from houses in.
Walnut street would cure blindness
caused by working on bright metals;
and under artificial light.
(, The glass is simply ordinary win
dow panes that have been in use for,
more than IS years. In that time it,
has been turned an amethyst tint by
the direct Iays of the sun.
Philadelphia eye specialists are op-
timistic in their contentious for the
glass, which is termed by the oculists
and opticians "the Philadelphia glass;"
Some of the most widely known ply
sicfans in the city are using it in their
daily practise and say that it. has
proved wonderfully effective and that
the eye disorders that it will relieve
and cure are many. Although the
first announcement of the good re-
suits from the use of this glass was
made only six months ago, it has re-
ceiyed widespread attention and Phil
adelphia physicians who were among
the first to give it a trying out have
received letters from other doctors in
all parts of the globe asking for
samples of the glass with which to
experiment.
- Houses in Walnut street that were
erected in the early past of the last
century are being examined closely
Joy enterprising opticians. Many staid
philadelphia families who have lived
lin the same house for several gen
CREATIONS have been surprised re-
GENTLY by offers to put new glass in
their windows free of cost. Upon close
Examination It was learned the win
dow panes that the seemingly char
liable persons wanted to replace had
the precious amethyst tint.
Among the Philadelphia oculists
that have been working with the anne
,thyst tinted lenses is DR.. l.. Webster
Fox, professor of ophthalmology in
the Medico-C hirurgical college and an
pculist of wide repute.
DR.. Fox has been able to cure many
eases of temporary loss of sight and
badly strained eyes when the anne.
thyst tint was incorporated with cor.
recting lenses. He has been particu.
larly successful in the case of print.
iers, typewriters, students and newspa,
per men, all of whom are required to
apply the eyes closely under artificial
illumination. After wearing the VIC.
pet glass the patient as a rule refuses
ito go back to the colorless glass,
wearing the other indefinitely. The
glass has been prescribed with great
relief to those whose eyes are ex
;posed in an X-ray laboratory.

Good Pruning Shears.

s. l propose to cut my young
trees back to make a proper shaped
head, and pinch the new growth
during the summer from time to time.
Mr.. Hale, the great peach and
plum grower Of Connecticut and
Georgia, has visited my orchard and
las proposed the following remedy,
which he practises successfully in his
orchards.
Instead Of pinching back in the
summer he allows the shoots to grow
until the rapid growth has ceased,
probably about the first of August.
Then cut the branches back to a
double shoot, being careful to go close
enough so hat no dormant bud Is
left above the shoots remaining.
This will force the rest of the
growth Of that branch into the short
fruit steps and start new ones below
when pruned.

FIGHTERS IN THE MAJORITY
Veteran Member OF Congregation Was

Representative Harry Maynard OF
Virginia tells the story of how a re-
ligious old negro in his district put a
stop to the exercise of Christian char
ity in the congregation of which he
was a member. 1t seems that it was
a practise in the church to eXcom-
municate for one year n member
who had been guilty of a blood fight
that is, any man who had attacked
another with a pistol or a razor.
At the end Of the year if the Of
fender wished reinstatement, he could
go to the "m~ourners' bench" rise and
declare his repentance, and be forgiven
by the congregation. This went on
for many years. At last a young
darky who had been in a particularly
Objectionable broil appeared for rein

Quent appeal to the congregation and

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a
box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came of her
head and new hair began to grow. In
q very short time she was we'll. She is
now sixteen years of age and a pic
ture of health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatments after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. ]. Fish and Ella M.

GENERAL FARM OTE

The man who got out with hogs"
a a ago wishes he was in.
Cowpeas are the clover of the
south. There is hope for any soil
on which they will grow.
1t is common to say public land is
all taken, but there still remains land
open to entry in 20 states and terri
tories.
Goats are\found profitable in noun
famous countries where food is scarce.
Why should they not pay on farms
that produce plenty Of feed?
In view of the fact that wool is
bringing good prices and the demand
for lamb ard mutton is growing,
sheep should be profitable on most
farms.
Do not fail to plant peanuts. The
nuts are wholesome fOod for man and
animals, and the hay is excellent food
for stock. Prepare the land for pea
nuts and wait till the soil is warm
before you plant.

drought. For all kinds of stock milo
is an excellent food.
There is more in type than breed
of animals. Some cows of a good
dairy breed are poor mixers and
some scrubs give a large quantity of
good milk. TO select a good dairy
COW one must know the charac-
teristics of a dairy type.
Soy beans are quite similar to COW
peas as soil r%enovators and as food
for stock. They have an upright
habit Of growth and are therefore
easier harvested for hay than COW
peas. The soy bean may be planted
earlier than the cOwpeas.
The great demand for breakfast
bacon has put a premium on the ba-
con-type hog. The animal that dresses
a large amount of good bacon is now
desired by many breeders. The York
shire and Tamworth breeds show
this type very prominently.
