WISE PEOPLE G

After looking square at facts Here
are some facts about eyes: Uncon-
scious eye defects affect the mental
condition. You have no grip on your
mind. Where the two eyes are not
the same strength n has to strain"
to work with the other, and this con-
dition is the cause of irritability and
nervousness. When both eyes see we'll
in the distance but cannot read or
sew for a long period at a time, this
condition is caused by the muscles of
the eyes, nearest the nose, being weak
and should be assisted by glasses or
strengthened by special exercises
which l use, when glasses can be dis
pensed with. This trouble is one of
the predominating causes of head
aches; the headache disappears when
cause Is corrected. When the muscles
controlling the eyes are not of equal
strength, which can only be determ-
ined by a thorough test by a compe-
tent specialist, the ervou system
has to supply the eyes with nerve
force beyond and above their share
this cheats other organs and caus-
es stomach trouble, dizziness, a
gloomy state of mind and nervous
ness. AS mentioned above, to find
out the full amount of trouble in this
direction one has to be competent,
or a great deal more experienced and
thorough than the average person
fitting glasses" We have changed
a large number of glasses where. this
trouble was entirely overlooked and
patients not aware that their trouble
was caused by their eyes being defec-
tive and not corrected, yet wearing
glasses.
If you are particular about your
eyes and want the best, be sure to
consult DIR. Scarborough, the Eyesight
Specialist, who will be at the Cottage
Hotel, Blackfoot, Jan. Is, 1912. Call
early. 1872

MIGHT CHANGE MANAGEMENT.

1t was current report last week
that the Blackfoot Optimist had been
sold or leased and that it would be
conducted next as a Democratic pa
per, but the deal is said to have fall
en- through when the manager-to-be
had finished his investigation of the
whole situation.
1t seems to have been generally
Disappointing that some plan. could
mot be devised to make the paper
Democratic, and street talk has it
that this will yet be done, though it
is the province of that paper to make
its own announcement of it's policies,
and the public is liable to guess
wrong when it is always guessing.
1t is p~ersistently rumored this
week that a new paper is to be
launched in Blackfoot soon, Demo-
cratic In politics, rip-roaring with on
ergy and conducted by a man who
calls a spade a spade, a mar a man
and a sneak a sneak. Blackfoot had
such a paper once, for a brief per-
iod, and Idaho Falls had one for n
month. Idaho Falls with four print
ing establishments and one of them
half idle and another ever on the
verge of bankruptcy, leaves Idaho
Falls men enjoying the Joke when
they talk of five printing houses for
little old Blackfoot," and local peo-
pie are saying, Must we support all
of them"

LEWISTON MAN FOR GOVERNOR

Benz. f. Tweedy, former mayor of
Lewiston, who announced himself a
candidate for governor recently, has
issued a platform of "a planks show
ing where he stands on public ques-
tions. We may have occasion to
publish his platform later, but for
the present suffice it to say that he
conducted an economic administra-
ton and pushed public improvements
in a most creditable name until
the wet" councilmen combined to
defeat him in enforcing the local op-
ton law and when the town would
not stand by him in this ne resigned
rather than remain. in office and fail
to enforce the laws.

sible from the Glad Hand club, the
saloon and the street car.
Apparently the great cartoonist
thinks a wave of industry and econ
omy is due for 1912, and our local
conditions seem to bear out this idea.
There is a strong trend toward pay
ing off obligations, leaving out the
purchase of foibles, taking few pleas
ure trips and leaving out excuses
generally.

VETERINARIAN UP IN THE AIR

Warnings against tub%erculous
chickens as loud as those sounded by
James H. Wallis, state dairy, food
and sanitary inspector, have been
sent ringing out to the people of the
state by DR.. E. T. Baker, veterinar-
ian at the experiment station at Mos
COW, in a letter recently published in
the agricultural bulletin. By his rec
ommendation and advice to the con-
sumner, he Endorses the recent action
of the state health office in Destroy
ing a flock Of chickens belonging to
Mrs. T. J. McCorkle at Meridian,
found to be infected with the terri
BILE disease and for which the health
office was condemned by some of the
u~nthinking consumers whom it was
trying to protect.
DR.. Baker tells the whole story in
a few words and tells it in such a
way that he makes the average con-
sumner an ardent champion of any,
body who can prevent the sale of dis
eased fowls on the open market to
scatter the plagueb far and wide
through the population of the city
and state. The doctor says.
IA chicken pie made from the
consumptive remains of a venerable
hen, whose long and honorable ca
e has at last been brought to a.
close, is not appetizing to think of.
ut is not generally understood
that chickens are affected with tu-
berculosis almost as frequently as hu-
man beings. A very common method
of giving fowls this disease is in the
feeding of table scraps, ii n Of the
family is tuberculous. Another very
dangerous manner of infection is al
lowing strangers or other visitors to
spit in the chicken yards. Milk from
tuberculous cows is also a source of
infection. The germ causing this d.
sease in poultry is the avian type Of
the tubercle bacillus, and resembles
