You Are a Parent?

Your child in school a certain num-
Der of hours each day, using the eyes
constantly.
Each year the lessons become hard
er, books are taken home, studies are
continued in the evening, the eyes
are being overtaxed, the delicate mus
cles are strained. Nature has not
provided for the excessive use of the
eyes in childhood; yet perhaps no
thought is given to helping the eyes.
Great injury results from this neg
lect.
We must realize that, if there is
cause for eye strain there must
be a remedy; the remedy most nat
urally would be rest for the eyes:
this rest can be obtained by wearing
resting glasses. Come and get my
advice. Come and let me explain to
you scientifically why resting glasses
should be worn.

OBJECTED TO LOW TARIFF
Importer Upheld in Demand for
Higher Classification.

The right of an importer to demand a
higher assessment Of his own importations
as long as he can prove that the higher
classification is correct was upheld yester-
day by the United States BOARD OF General
Appraisers. The board held that the mo-
tive Of the importer had no bearing on the
question. and the fact that an importer
asked for a higher classification to prevent
the importation of merchandise In order 10
protect his own interests was only cons's-
tent with the principle of tariff protection.
The decision was the result of protest
made by l.. II. A. Schwartz. Of Boston. on
b; gging for balng cotton. which customs
officials had classified as dutiable at low
rate. while the importer declared II duti-
able at a. per cen, ad valorem. Counsel for
the government asked for the dismissal OF
the compliant because the rate claimed was
higher than tho rate assessed, and, there
fore. importers suffered no pecunary dam
age.

YERKES ESTATE INCREASES
Something May Be Left for Heirs
After Creditors Are Paid.

The optimistic report Of Sir Edgar Speyer,
chairman of the board Of the London
Underground Electric Railways. word OF
which was cabled to The Tribune Thurs
day. has renewed the hope of the Yerkes
heirs that something of the estate OF
Charles T. Yerkes may be left after all the
creditors have been paid. At the present
time. and without any appreciation in the
value of the London Underground stock,
it looks TO Joseph =. Cotton. jr, counsel
for the New York receiver Of the estate,
as IL all the creditors would receive 100
cents on the dollar. An appreciation OF
the Underground stock, therefore, would
provide an equity for Mrs. Yerkes, the
widow; Charles r.. Yerkes. the son. and
Mrs. Bella Rondinella, the daughter.
At the time Of his death Charles r. Yerkes
held $1,000 shares OF the stock Of the Lon
don Underground Railways the par value
Of which is 10. and for which he had paid
IL. owing the company 20 more on each share.
This constituted a claim against the estate
of approximately s.ooG0, on the strength
of which receiver vas appointed to realize

personal property in this state. The sale
