Care Of the Eyes,

One of the most important things
to consider in connection with caring
for the eyes Is the bath, and this
should preferably be of rain or dis.
titled water A pinch of salt, well
dissolved, adds value to an eye bath,
and a most soothing wash, which Is
administered in little eye-cup that
fits over the open eye, is made by dis
solving a level teaspoonful of pure
boric acid in quart Of filtered or dis
titled water.
Boric acid must be dissolved In
boiling water, and then added to the
rest in quart bottle Although
everybody knows that one eye may
often have an ailment not shared by
the other, few remember to refrain
from using the same cup for both
eyes without washing II after the
first has been bathed.-Harper's Ba-

The right Of village council to re,
fuse To grant a saloon license aud TO
prohibit the sale Of liquor in village
was upheld by the Michigan supreme
court in an opinion handed down last
weev. The village Of Crosse Point
had refused TO grant saloon license
TO Edmund G.. Vernier. The latter
applied to the circuit court OF Wayne
county for writ Of mandamus TO
compel the village board to issue the
Iceuse TO him. The circuit court
granted the writ and ordered the viii
lage board To issue the license to open
the saloon. The village officers ap-
pealed to the supreme court and the
latter court upheld the village council
1t is. therefore, now established by
the highest court Of our state that
village boards have the right To deny
applications for saloon licenses and TO
prohibit when they so desire the sale
Of liquor i'm the village.
