Get Rid of Your Glasses

Dr. John L. Corish, an able New York
physician of long experience, has come for
ward with the edict that eyeglasses must go.
Intelligent people everywhere are indorsing
him. The Doctor says that the ancients
never dishgured their facial beauty with
goggles. They employed certain methods
which have recently been brought to the
light of modern science. Dr. Corish has
written a marvellous book entitled "How to
Save the Eyes, which tells how they may
be benefited in many cases, instantly. There
IS an easy home treatment which is just as
simple as it is effective, and it is fully ex-
planned in this wonderful book, which will
be sent free to any one. A postal card will
bring it to your very door. This book tells
you why eyeglasses are needless and how
they may be put aside forever. When you
have taken advantage of this information
obtained in this book you may be able to
throw your glasses away and should possess
healthy, beautiful, soulfully expressive, mag
netic eyes that indicate the true character
and win confidence.

How to Save the Eyes"

At last the good news can be published.
1t is predicted that within a few years eye
glasses and spectacles will be SO scarce that
they will be regarded as curiosties.
Throughout the civilized world there has,
for several years, been recognized move
ment by educated medical men, particularly
eye experts, toward treating sore, weak OF
strained eyes nationally. The old way was
to fit pair of glasses as soon as the eyes
were found to be strained. These glasses
were nothing better than clutches. They
never overcome the trouble, but merely give
little relief while being worn and they
make the eyes gradually weaker. Every
wearer of eyeglasses knows that he might as
well expect to cure rheumatism by leaning
upon a walking stick.
The great masses of sufferers from eye
strain and other durable optic disorders have
been misled by those who were making for
tunes out Of eyeglasses and spectacles.

Bad Eyes Bring Bad Health

DR.. Corish goes further. He asserts that
evestrain is the main cause of headaches
nervousness, inability, neurasthenia, brain
flag, sleeplessness, stomach disorders des-
pondency and many other disorders. Lead
ing oculists of the world confirm this and say
that a vast amount of physical and mental
misery is due to the influence of eyestrain
upon the nerves and brain cells When eye
strain is overcome these ailments usually
disappear as if by magic.

love flies out of the window people blame it on
their poverty. Wealth is just as likely to drive

happen to be rich, which makes it little more
interesting to most of us, and little more diff

ROAD MAKING PART
PLAYED BY ASPHALT
Biblical Authority Quoted To
Show Prophecy Of Modern

IMPORTANT USE IS FOUND

Demand Increasing Because Of
Success In Experiments
Which Reduce Problem
To One Of Price.

In the original Bible the same wor
is used for salt and for oil or asphal
because both came from springs
and both are obtained from the Dea,
Sea, and when asphaltiopil Is substi
tuted for salt in the well known quo
tation, "If the salt (oil) bave lost hi
savor volatile portion) wherewitl
shall 1t be salted? it is thenceforth goot
for nothing (asphalt) but to be cas-
out and to be trodden under foot O
men," This sounds prophetic in view
OF the thousands of miles of asphalt
pavements In modern cities. Fal
more important, however. is the use
now in its infancy but rapidly increas
ing, OF asphaltic oils for sprinklln2
over macadam roads TO prevent dust
and obviate the damage done by rap.
idly moving automobiles in tearing
out the surface. The secretary OF az.
riculture, in his address TO the first
National Good Roads Congress, men
TONED this treatment as solving the
important problem OF rapid automo.
billing over macadam roads.
-Four kinds of asphaltc oils are now
prepared for this especial purpose by
taking the volatile matter out Of
Texas oils and other similar asphaltic
oils, until the residue contains 30 to
go per cent OF asphalt, the product
according with the requirements.
Chiefly because Of the demand for
oil for this use the production OF nat
ural asphalts as well as "oil asphalts"
Is rapidly increasing, as is shown 10

related bitumens, aud bituminous
rock. by David II. Day, OF the United
States geological survey, published as
an advanced chapter OF Mineral Re-
sources of the United States, 1910.
INCREASE IN PRODUCTION.
The United States produced 260, ,0S0
tons OF asphaltic material in 1910,
whereas only 22S,655 tons were pro-
duced In the year previous. The
greatest increase was in the produc-
ton of asphaltic road oil, which rose
from 12S,S61 tons in 1909 to 159, ,424
short tons in 1910. This product was
worth s2,207, 1897, as against 81, ,55S, ,463
In 1909, which shows an advance 10
price as we'll as quantity, indicating
active demand.
Evidently the new sprInkling or
penetration" method Of applying
asphalt to roads is permanently es-
but there are asphalts and
asphalts, as is well Indicated by the
names with which the various sorts
are labeled, such as tabbyite, wIed-
yerite, aeonite, grahamite, gilsonite.
and a host of other names, which
show the different varieties. There |
ire ways of identifying these varIe-
lies. and the report just issued con-
sains a table showing the Characters
Jics OF each kind. The great problem
'or the roadmaker, now that the use
,f asphalt is approved, is to select the
sind OF asphalt which is most desira.

The New Orleans Picayune of las
Saturday morning says:
The old contest between the state

terpart in the republic of Brazil. Th'
state OF Bahia, in the northern par
of the country, is in open revolt
against the federal authority, the i'm

federal authority! The governor OF
Bahia has resigned and the minister
Of war at Rio, evidently being In sym.
pathy with the efforts of Bahia to ig-
more the authority Of the federal
courts, has also resigned.
AS Brazil, when she deposed the
late Emperor Dom Pedro and became
Il republic, patterned her constitution
after that Of the United States, she
is beginning to develop some of the
same troubles which confronted the
people OF this country earlier In their
history and which still sometimes
arise to plague them. Local governors

While the trouble 10 Bahia appears
to be refusal to recognize the juris-

confined to single state. 1t was
the weakness shown by the
federal government during the naval
nutiDies little over year ago that
las given the military element its
strong influence over the officials.
The president and his cabinet realize
that without the backing of the army

here is no very strong sentiment OF

Iron ORE PRODUCTION
SHOWS A DECREASE
TWENTY-FIVE TO TWENTY-FIVE
PER CENT LOSS IN SALES.
The Shortage More Noticeable
Because Production For 1912
Was Largest In GUAM
tity On Record.

Preliminary estimates OF iron orr
sold in 1911 were sent to the geologi
cal survey by 26 Of the largest iron
mining companies In the United
States at the close of the year. The
combined output OF these companies
represents more than 80 per cent Of
the total production OF the United
States. From these returns it is esti
mated by e. T. Burchard, of the sur.
vey, that the total quantity OF iron
ore marketed in the United States 10
1911. not including stocks left at the
mines, was between 43, 0O0, 900 and 46,
100000 long tons. This quantity rep.
resents decrease of % to "a per cent
of the sales for 1910, which aggregated
So, 8S9, 1874 long tons.
The output for 1910 was the largest
quantity of; iron ore'eser marketed in
single year in the United States. and
according to the present estimate the
quantity produced 10 the year 1911
will take fifth place, being exceeded
by that Of 1910, 1907, l9O9i and 1906 in
the order named. 1t is estimated
that OF the ore produced Ia 1911 be-
tween 80, 9,250,O0O and 42,000,00O long
tons was red hematite, the remainder
consisting OF brown hematite, magne.
tite and iron carbonate ores.

According to. the returns received
the Lake Superior district, 10 Mime

rently produced between SO, 3,OO0,0 and
