:: Beauty Secrets Of FootHght Favontes ::
Hou TO Haue and Keep Pretty Eyes
By MARTHA WELLINGTON.

Y f the new baby has nice eyes, the
family predict that it will be a
beauty, and a good pair of eyes is
the only claim that many famous wom-
en- have to real pulchritude.
With our subways, our electric light,
our constant use of the eyes in reading
magazines and papers everywhere and
at all times, | often wonder whether our
great grandchildren won't be born with
spectacles, and l rather think they win
unless we learn how to avoid eye strain
When you think of what tremendous
amount of work is required of the
eyes, and how wonderfully they Ne
spond you feel that they are really de-
serving of better treatment than that
which they get
| am sure that the vast amount of
electric light which we use is to some
extent responsible for the gaunt and
hollow eyes which even the younger so
ciety women can not escape after a
couple of seasons, for electric light is
not only much harder on the eyes. but
1t is much more unbecoming than the
soft glow of the lamps or candles of
our forefathers.
On the other hand, of course if it is
properly focused, it saves the sight
for the strain of seeing an object in a
poor light is tremendous and is one of
the reasons why SO many people have
to wear glasses at a very early age
Children begin at school to read and
study by poor light, for not all of the
schools have ADEQUATE lighting as yet
but parents are even more at fault. for
the child does its home work as best
it can, and by any light that will serve,
so that it gets the idea very early in
life that the eye will stand for any
kind of treatment.
A Test.
If you want to know what a strain
electric light is on the eyes, stand be-
hind the footlights in the spotlight.
That is the place which so many stage
aspirants hope to attain, and most of
them would be willing to sacrifice their
good sight to get there

and if the time ever comes when the

able to face it with strong eyes at
least.
have made up lot of rules for my
self and I try to follow them az well
as I can. In the first place, I never
read in rocking chair; the movement
Of the rocker requires a constant re-
adjustment of the sight, and it is a
strain on the eyes.
l never read in bed, either, even if
the light falls straight on the book and
not in my eyes, because this is one of
the surest ways Of straining the sight.
l rest my eyes when travelling, and
even in thescars / avoid reading If pos

OF course, when one is up late at
night the eyes invariably show it, and

with a little salt and water l always

out thoroughly before it is used, as It
should be absolutely clean Into this

very refreshing. but it cleans the eyes
out, removes every particle of dust

''In addition" said Mr.. Browning,

Then, in conclusion, Mr.. Brown
ing made the statement as to the
unusual course OF the subcommittee
Of the committee on the State House
and Grounds in aDpropriating State
funds for the architect to use them
tc influence mem bers Of the general
assembly to adopt his plans.
In reply to Mr.. Browning A. W.
Todd spoke on question OF person
al privilege. He said he wished to
state his position personally. 1t wss
false that there hal been any scheme
to debauch the members OF the gen
eral assem- bly,, so Gar as he was per-
sonally concerned. He had entered
into business transaction with the
subcommittee. There was no blot on
his character. He had not button
holed'' members o. the general as
sembly to get them to adopt his
plans. He had been employed by the
subcommittee and had entered into
a written contract with them. The
whole meeting, except the subcom-
mittee meeting, had been held in the
Governors Office. Not member Of
the committee had any idea of poll
tics. He was out Of money for his
work and had thought he was buy
ing a gold bond when he signed the
contract.
Mr.. F. N. Bryan stated that he de-
sired to speak of the remarks made
on tie floor of the House, that the
action Of the su5committe appeared
to be an attempt ct "debauching the
General Assembly" He wished to
state, he said, il fairness to Governor
B!ease, that when the committee held
this meeting referred to they met in
response to letters sent out by him
calling the meeting. The Governor
was "in and OUT Of the Office during
the meeting, said NJ. Bryan. and at
tie close Of it, looking over the Todd
plans, he made the remark:
think it is very beautiful, and If the
bill passes the General Assembly 1t
shall have my approval" The aciion
of the committee had been taken IN

HEPBURN GETS ROAST
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS RAPS
SENATOR FROM IDSHO.
\ Tilt in the United States Senate
Over Erecting q Monument at
Ticksburg to Corfederates.

''In the name Of God, Mc. Presi-
dent, are we down South not part
CT the people Of tic United States?
| feel sometimes as if the last sur
riving man who wants to render
treason idious' has been sent to the
senate from Idaho.
These singing exclamations by
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi,
in his debate in the United States
Senate with Senator Hepburn over
tie erection OF 3 Confederate shaft
Ct Nicksburg, are quoted in the Cou-
r;er-Journals Washington dispatches
Tuesday morning.
The tilt began when Senator Will
hams sought to obtain yo-e on his
measure apDropriating money for a
companion shaft 70 the monument
erected to northern naval forces at
WICK sburg, and provided it should be
unveiled before The semi-centennial
celebration in 1918.
When Senator Hepburn objected to
the consideration Of the measure and
before the chair ruled that it must so
over. under the custom Of the SEN
ate. Senator Williams made this ap-
peal:
IF the senator from Idaho Will
agree to let this Dill come . vote
I will promise that no senator from
the South. so far as I am able to in
fuence their action, will vote on the
measure"
This pledge did not swerve Sena-
Tor Hepburn who insisted it would
rot be proper or constitutional. He
said such measures amounted to
"treading upon the eacred memories
of the people OF the North.'
He said it was proposed to take
from the treasury Of the peo-
PIE of the United STATES" to expend in
ccmmmorating the virtues Of the
enemy Of the country.
Senator Williams answered in an
CSSTleFSO LONe-
"Why, Mr.. President, if the sena-
tor knew me better he would know /
wouldn't tread on anything. would
sc out Of my way 20 avoid treading
on an ant. would not even tread
oGt the public record Of the senator
from Idaho
The galleries broke into applause
and were sternly reminded Of the
senate rule against applause. Mr..
Williams said he lad no bitter mem
cries growing out Of the War Be
tween the Sections: that during the
struggle he belonSed to the infantry
in-arms, and he presumed Senator
Hepburn did also. AS to inherited
principles. about which the senator
from Idaho speaks. when man in
herits more than his father feels,
more than the old Fitting generation
'elt, he is inheriting too much.
A burst Of laughter greeted this
sally. More rapping By the vice
president. Hepburn refused to
withdraw his objection.

Milton A. Carlisle, president Of the
National Bank Of NewbeTry, S. c.,
will stand so far as the United States
circuit court OF appeals is concerned,
according to an opinion handed down
at Richmond, Va, on Wednesday, the
opinion being read by Judge Golf.
.;his case was argued several months
ago, Gov. Blease Of South Carolina
appearing as one Of counsel for the
convicted banker. 1t came up on ap-
zeal from the district court at
G-eenville, S. C.
Milton Anderson Carlisle was con-
"icted October 20, 1910, in the fed
eTal court at Greenyille. on five counts
Of an indictment containing 1852
counts. Carlisle's conviction came
after trial which lasted several days
and aroused much Interest in South
Carolina
The counts OF the indictment on
which Carlisle was convicted were
those charging misap po!ication Of the
funds Of the Newberry National bank,
of which he was tlIs president from
1893 until 1909.
The specific charge in three Of
these was based on drafts by the Cold
Point Granite Company, Of which
Carlisle was president and treasurer,
which were paid by the bank out re-
fused by the parties upon wlom they
were drawn, the baEk not being re-
in m5ursed.
The other two counts charged mis-
of funds paid 5y 2 farmer
upon notes due the bank. Carlisle
was alleged to have put these sums
&c his own uses. Inc total amount
involved in the transactions for
which Carlisle was convicted was less
than $500.
The bulk Of the indictment, upon
which Carlisle was found not guilty,
charged overdrafts Of his personal
account and of the account Of the
Cold Point Granite Company fer con-
sums when che had no
reasonable grounds to believe that
these funds would be repaid" as
both Carlisle and the company were
involved.
Carlisle, who IS II years OF age.
was sentenced by Judge Brawley to
five years in the federal prison,
motion for a new trial being denied.
His counsel took the case to the cir
cult court of appeals, where it was
argued some months ago. Gov.
3lease was OF counsel for the defense.
