LIVES SAVED BY TELEPHONE.
One Man Drank Poison, and Another
Severed Four Arteries.

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. w. Lentz, OF Orders, Breth-
rem minister, took poison by mistake tor
his medicine. No physician being here,
his family got instruction from distant
physician. Antidotes were administered
and his life was saved.
William Mionich, in Pendleton county
tried to cut bullet from the breach OF a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
OF bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, at
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instruc-
tons over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mionich is 76 years old.
So daily are valuable lives preserved
and saved by the use OF. the Jefferson
County Telephone.

THEY NEVER SEE SPOOKS.
That Is One Consolation That Color
Blind Persons Have.

Are you afraid of the dark? There
isn't a chance of you seeing a ghost If
you are color blind. which may furnish
you a ray Of comfort for the beauties
of landscape and floral decorations you
may have missed during your lifetime.
DR.. August hummer, head of the
physical institute of the University of
Breslau, in Germany. is authority for
this.
DR.. hummer explains the phenome-
non in this way:
THE normal eye has an arrangement
of tiny rods and cones in the retina.
The rods perceive light and the cones
color. When Il person with a normal
eye tries to see in a half dark place
the cones, which are useless. interfere
with the effective action Of the reds.
and consequently the confusion creates
the effect of apparitions that come and
go and change their shapes.
THE color blind person lacks the
cones, and his rods act with extraordi-
nary efficiency in the dark The color
blind person sees clear, permanent
outline Of things as long as there is the
least amount of light present. That
means that he never sees ghosts

MINERS UNION SUED.
Asked to Pay Damages Alleged tc
Have Been Caused by Strike.

Have Been Caused by Strike.
An effort to compel the United Mine
Workers of Illinois to pay for dam
ages alleged to have accrued to coal
company by reason of strike is
sought In an injunction proceeding
filed in the Beileville circuit court by
the Boyd Coal and Coke company of
Sparta, Ill. The case will be watched
with considerable interest by people
interested in the coal industry In the
state because some entirely new points
are raised.
In June, 1912, an engineer employed
by the coal company quit work be-
cause of shutdown of the mine caus-
ed by flood. When the mine resum-
ed operations the engineer asked to
be reinstated, and his request was re-
fused The matter was laid before
joint meeting of representative of op-
orators and engineers. No agreement
could be reached. The petitioner al
leges that the miners refused to sub
nit the case to arbitration.
AS q result a strike was called in
February. 1918. and since that time no
work has been done at the mine. The
strikers have been drawing strike ben
efits since that time. The injunction
asks the court to order the controversy
| submitted to arbitration, that the court
name the arbiters. that the court as
certain the amount of damages to the
mine by reason of being shut down
| and that the court order the miners
, union of the state to pay the dam
| ages out of its union fund. The suit
is directed against Joseph Pope. pres
ident, and all other state officers of the
United Mine Workers Of America.

his dream soul, that is particularly
