WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
NEARLY EVERY AILMENT HAS
THIS BAD EFFECT.
One Great Cause is Eye-Strain From
Which City People Suffer Espe-
cially Because Their
Vision Is Restricted.

Almost every little or great ailment
throughout your system affects your
nerves. Your eyes and liver and lungs
and stomach and heart and many 9TH
er things throughout your system all
take it OUT on the poor nerves if
obey happen to be bit out of order
themselves.
Recent discoveries show that ninety
per cent of nervous troubles are due
to other disorders. Eye-strain Is one
cause. Not only those who have to
use their eyes constantly, like stu
dents and lapidaries and miniature art
lists and engravers, but city folks who
live and work where their vision is
restricted are all sufferers from nerv-
GUS troubles, more or less
The eye wants to get exercise as
we'll as the muscles. Living in narrow
streets and gazing out across little al
leys against brick walls, rushing into
narrow cars and hurrying into small
rooms, all keep the vision down to
narrow limits and pretty soon eye
strain sets in and this brings on nerv-
Gus trouble.
And one of the peculiarities OF this
is that many people will not notice
that they have eye-strain because the
nervous disorder that results will be
so much worse than the cause. Eye
strain is much less common in the
country.
Working in stopped position, curv-
ing the spine, brings pressure on the
tiny blood vessels and this in turn
acts on the nerves. Il get so nervous
sitting STILL" one will say. AS a mat
ter Of fact the continual pressure on
the spine reacts on the nerves. AS
sedentary occupations are more COM
mon in the cities there Is more merry
BUSINESS from this cause in cities.
Liver troubles bring en- quick nerY-
GUS disorders; city noises in time Ell
feet the ears and the nerves are again
In for siege of trouble. Not even at
night or during sleep is there COM
plete quiet in the city. Women be-
come irritable because of excessive
blood pressure, and again it is their
nerves that suffer-also every one
else about them is ant to suffer.

CHINA HAS NO TYPEWRITERS

TypeWriters are now made for use
in nearly a hundred different Ian
guages, and they are sold all over
the world; but there is still one great
nation which, for very simple rea
son, has no typewriters that write Its
tongue That nation is China
The English alphabet has 26 let.
tiers, the Russian SO. The typewrit
er produced for the Russian market
is the largest made but no typewrit
er could be made that would begin to
be big enough for the Chinese Ian
guage, which has no alphabet but is
represented by sign characters, of
which there are about $4,000. OF the
great number of words found in the
English language only a small proper
ton are used for the ordinary pur
poses of speech, and the same is true
of the characters used in the Chinese
language but the number of Chinese
characters commonly employed is still
far greater than could be put on any
typewriter. So this nation of 400 000,.
600 people has no typewriter in its
own tongue.
But thai doesn't mean that no type
writer's are sold in China More and
more Chinese are learning other Ian
guages besides their own, and Chin
csc merchants and resident foreign
merchants use typewriters, and they
are used In legations and in consular
Offices and in banks and shipping of
fees and colleges, and by mission
aries by various people. Altogether
there are sold in China a good many
typeWriters.

Moon Blindness.

A naval correspondent of the Lon
don Standard has written from Port
Of Spain, Trinidad stating that In his
travels he had come across many
cases Of moon blindness, caused hy
men sleeping with the moon shining
upon them, such cases occurring prin-
clpally in the tropics and the Mediter-
ranean
Strange to say, adds the Trinidad
correspondent, men so affected can
see In daylight. but cannot do so when
dusk sets IN Mr. Elgle further
quotes from a communication made by
a New Zealand correspondent to a
weekly scientific journal. This cor
respondent was, many years ago, an
apprentice on the Liverpool ship Lang
dale, an East India trader
Once when the ship was between
St Helena and the line some OF the
crew slept on deck, fully exposed to
the glare of the brilliant moon. When
they awoke three of them were quite
moon blind. They had to be led about
at night and the ropes put into their
bands.
