G. W. Moss, formerly jeweler in
the Nelson Jewelry store in this city
but who is now located at Crookston,
MINI. has just received a patent on
a new eye glass fitting machine
which he has invented. The
CroOkston paper given the following
account of the devise.
For some time past DR.. c. W..
Moss, the eye specialist, has been
quietly working on a device to take
accurately all the measurements
necessary when fitting glasses, and
has perfected his invention and had
it patented.
The invention is designed ard so
constructed as to embody in a
single instrument a means for
readily and quickly determining the
facial measurements in the fitting
of eye glasses.
1t is the most complete in every
detail and the meas urements taken
are exact and when the patients
glasses are delivered after being
madef rom measurements taken by
this instrument he is assured that
he will receive a perfect fitting
frame. This will do away with that
cutting Of the ears by the bows, or
temples and the crest of the nose by
the the bridge, also many other
troubles which people experience
who are wearing glasses.
DIR. Moss saw the need of an in.
strnment like this in his line of
work, coming in contact with poorly
fitted glasses severy day. He has
been working aud experimenting on
on this instrument for over three
years, during which time time he
has visited several manufacturing
optical houses, studying in detsil
the operation in the making of
frames so that:his measurer would
be practical and useful to every
doctor and oculist in the fitting of
glasses. lie
The instrument is made of
aluminium, therefore very light and
may be sterilized without injury to
the figures and scales. Although
nineteen different measurements
may be taken with this instrument,
including complete facial measure
ments for ordering Of frames and
mears for proving these, when
frames are returned besides these
it includes protractor, lens and
strap guage, standard eye size and
many other features making it use
full to the manufacturing optician as
we'll as the doctor fitting the glasses
it is very simple ard easy to operate
DIR. Moss has received the patent
application papers already, also he
has had very good offer from one
OF the largest wholesale optical
manufacturers in Minneapolis, who
wish to manufacture and market the
apparatus on the royalty plan, but
he has not as yet decided if he will
dispose of it in this way or have it
manufactured and sell it direct.
The apparatus will be known as
Moss perfection face and frame
measure.

or Pennsylvania farm, maple is TO-
day, according to the department of
agriculture, one of the most widely
used and valuable native hardwoods.
A bulletin on the uses of maple.
just issued by the department, states
that the wood finds place in an
enormous number of articles in daily
use, from rolling pins to pianos and
organs. 1t is one of the best woods
for flooring, and is always a favorite
material for the floors of roller skat-
ing Kinks and bowling alleys. It leads
all other wood as a material for shoe
lasts, the demand for which in Massa
chusetts alone exceeds 10 million
board feet annually.
Sugar maple stands near the top
of the list of furniture woods in
this country The so-called ''birds-
eye" effect, the department explains,
is probably due to buds which for
some reason can not force their
way through the bark, but which re.
main just beneath it year after year.
The young wood is disturbed each
succeeding season by the presence
of the bud and grows around it in
fantastic forms which are exposed

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

10y local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way TO cure deafness, and that IS
BY constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when il is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infancy
