EYES AND HEALTH.

Poor eyesight is a foe to health.
Many children are ansemic and
narrow chested simply because
their eyes are weak and are not
given proper care. Nearsighted chill
dren, for instance, bend over their
books and in time become stoop
shouldered.
If a child is to be kept well, it's
eyes must be carefully watched from
infancy. Never expose a baby's eyes
to direct sunlight, either indoors or
out of doors. When lying down, a
child should have its face protected
by a sun shade or awning of some
kind.
Children should be kept out of
doors as much as possible where
their eyes will not have to look at
small objects. When they play with
blocks or picture books, both photo
graphs and letters should be large.
Don't send your child TO a kinder
garten where close work is done.
Insist that the teacher uses large
charts and pictures. Children should
not lie on the floor and read. They
should not play with children who
have sore eyes They should not use
common towels, or common drinking
cups.
If your child complains of head
ache or seems to strain his eyes, send
him to the doctor Immediately and
obtain spectacles if necessary. 1t is
better that a child should wear
glasses than that he should strain
over books until his shoulders be-
come round and his chest grows mar
row and tlat-a splendid field for
tuberculosis. Good eyes are import
ant to health. Do not neglect them

Secretary, Pennsylvania Society for

PARTY CROSSES GREENLAND.
Swiss Expedition First to Make Trip
From West to East.

Greenland has been crossed for the
first time from west to east over the
barren Ice by the Swiss expedition
under DR.. de Quervain. joint director
of the Swiss Central Meteorological
institute, who is now at ReykJavik,
the capital Of Iceland. All the men,
bers of the party are well.
The members of the expedition start
ed from JacObshawn, in Danish north
west Greenland, and marched for three
months over the ice wastes. They
made the east coast on Aug. 2, ten
miles from Anginagsalik, which was
their goal. Many valuable scientific
results We're schievea.
The greatest height Of tina Lnland ice
measured $500 meters, but they saw
higher peaks since making measure
ments and discovered mountains on
Christian TX. Land, nearer the east
coast
DIR. de Quervain will hold the ma
terial he has collected until he is able
to make comparisons with the results
of the Danish expedition under Cap
tain ]. Z. Koch, which will Cross from
west to east in 1913, but by more
northern route.

CALLS TAFT FRIEND OF WORK
INGMAN.

New York. -" If any further
proof of President Taft's sincere re-
gard for the welfare and advance
ment Of the country's laboring class
were necessary" said Chairman Hill
les, of the Republican National Com
mittee, recently, it seems to me it
has been amply supplied by the an
nouncement at Beverly TO the effect
that Mr.. Taft will put into operation
in Panama an employers liability
and wOrkmen's compensation law
similar TO that which he urged upon
the last session of Congress, but
which was effectually pigeonholed at
the direction OF the Democratic lead
ers in the House of Representatives
for fear that Mr.. Taft might gain po-
litical advantage through its pass
age.
Now, however, under a law per-
mitting him to make such laws for
the Canal Zone, as he deems neces-
sary, the President announces that
he will put the employers liability
and workmen's compensation meas
ure into early effect on the canal,
hoping that this example may result
in the passage next Winter, OF a
similar measure applicable to the en-
tire country.
This, it seems to me, is an in
stance of sincerity and good will to-
ward the laboring classes that is re-
freshing in these days when the
third term candidate is promising
all sorts of reforms which he failed
to inaugurate during two terms in
the Presidency, and when the Dem
ccratic candidate is SO busy apollo

Mr.. Hills friends are advocating
his election on the grounds that he
is no experiment, but has been tried
and always proved true to the inter-
est OF the people. In every position
occupied by Mr.. Hill he has shown
himself to be a man of sound judg-
ment, always devoting his best en-
ergies in an effort to accomplish the
greatest benefit to all the people and
has never in any way identified him
self with the special interests which
are seeking for advantages at the
expense of the masses.
Mr.. Hill mas always been a favor
ite with the voters of Wayne county
and conditions existing this year as
sure him the largest vote ever given
to him in this county regardless of
party lines.-Adv. 76eoi2

West Virginia Electors Out.
Chairman Hilles has received
word that the complication with re-
spect to electors in West Virginia,
has been adjusted by the resignation
OF three candidates who were Roose-
welt men. These candidates were
chosen prior to the Republican Ma
tional Convention. The State Com
mittee will fill the vacancies with
Taft supporters.
Mr.. Hilles had a conference re-
Gently with Major Armand Romaine
of Louisiana, and also with Mayor
Magee, of Pittsburg. Mayor Magee
supported Roosevelt prior to the con-
vention, but is now regular and is
one of the active Taft managers in
Pennsylvania. He reports that the
President will carry Allegheny coun-
ty, and Pennsylvania.
Gets Encouraging Reports.
Mr.. Hilles also had long confer
ence last week with Senator Crane,
of Massachusetts. The Senator re-
ports a gratifying growth of Taft
sentiment in Massachusetts and else
where.
Mr., Hilles also had conferences
with dozen leading men from vari-
GUS parts of the country. All of
these callers gave Mr.. Hilles en-
couraging reports of political condi-
tions in their localities and the
chairman was gratified also at the
receipt of an enthusiastic report
from Connecticut on the successful
opening of the Connecticut cam
paign in New Haven.
