EYE STRAIN.
Il Has Many Symptoms and May A.
feet the Whole System.

feet the Whole System.
Chief among the symptoms OF eye
strain are watering OF the eye, n GIN
ing together Of the eyelids Oh awaken
ing i'm the morning, headache. the posi-
tion and character of which vary WITH
each individual. 1t may be neuralgia
or it may be deeply seated, as was the
case with Wagner, the musician, who
was complaining constantly of 1.-The
nerves Of his eyes"
The headache Is often replaced nv
an inflammation OF the eyelids, espe-
cially i'm young and healthy persons
who also have little coniunctivitis
with feeling of tension or fullness In
the eyes which may become real pain
OF n dull aching character, the eyeballs
being very tender on pressure.
Sometimes there are vertigo ana
sickness, with dyspepsia, palpitation
and even difficulty In breathing.
Sleeplessness is very frequent symp-
tom. due in part to the excessive flow
of blood to the brain and in part to the
low tone of the whole nervous system.
The symptoms Of eye strain appear
sooner In those who lead confined
and sedentary life, who follow occupa-
tions which need constant use OF the
eyes In bad or unsuitable light and In
those who are debilitated from any
cause. The symptoms appear later In
those OF coarser fiber. who pass much
OF their time in the open air or who
follow occupations which do not need
prolonged use of the eyes for close
work. London Lancet

This is the "soup" employed by
yeggmen, and single portion OF it is
guaranteed to open the door OF the

can be made sufficiently large to pour

panions come on, avoiding notice as
far as possible. "Stickups," or look
outs, guard the place while the ''in-
side men" break into the safe. Seal
ing the cracks about the safe or vault
door with soap, the yeggmen pour in
the soup through n small hole left
open Mt the top. The liquid flows
down by locks, hinges and bolts and
is set off by fuse or detonator. Blan-
kets and covers of any kind are used
to muffle the sound Of the explosion
and the fall OF the door. Perhaps the
"stickups" are forced to create a di
version outside and to frighten the cit
zens or mslcld them while the "in-
side men" pick out the valuable papers
escape. Who pays the check for the
soup then depends upon the ingenuity
of detcctives.-New York Post.

Ministers i'm France are not so well
paid as i'm England. All members OF
the French cabinet receive the same
salary, G2,4OO Il year, and rs they have
TO forfeit the allowance Of 5000 which
they receive as senators or deputies
their net annual gain through taking
office is only E1,S00. 1t Is true they
are provided with official residences
furnished. heated and lighted at the
public expense. Their tenure of Office
is, however, SO precariouS that they
can never venture To let their private
residences. so they save nothing under
the head of rent. London Chronicle.

Des Moines, Sept. 30.-Frank sher-
cliffe, serving time in Colorado. has
asked for parole.
Shercliffe, who lived in Dies Moines

RADIO. claims that he was convicted thru
forged letter
Fifteen years after WEIGH, a saloon
keeper. and Jordan, an officer, were
murdered in Leadville, Shercliffe was
tried and found guilty of the murder.
The verdict hinged round letter
which Shercliffe was charged with
writing to Tom Dennison, of Omaha, in
which he d claimed to have said:
TT viii only be matter Of time UNI
til you will be going the same route as
Officer Jordan and Saloonman WEIGH
Now Sherchffe claims this letter was
forged. He does not deny that he wrote
a letter to Dennison when the famous
Dennison trial was in progress at
Omaha, but he says that the two names
he put in the letter are not the names
appearing in the letter when It was
used as evidence against him.
Shercliffe claims that he can show
by handwriting experts that the origi-
nal names were rubbed out and new
ones substituted in order to connect
him with the Leadville murder.
The Colorado board of parole has the
application under Amusement.
Shercliffe's record is a remarkable
one. When Fl years old he was arrest
ed and convicted for daring holdup
on a train in western Iowa. This crime
is generally referred to as the Pollock
diamond robbery Later he came to
Des Moines and was married. He ap-
peared against Tom Dennison in the
civic federation reform cases In Omaha.
Two years ago he was convicted Of
murder committed in Colorado fifteen
years ago. His wife, secured a divorce
after he had been sentenced.
