Washington, Dec. 20,--Lirnited means of communication between the isolated border town of Presidio, Texas and the north is given by officials here as the reason that no news reached the state or war departments today re- garding the battle reported in progress across the border in OiLpaga- Some doubt was expressed as to the pro cedure said to have been adopted by the American military commander at Presidio in the tySatment of the fed eral soldiers seeking to cross the line into Texas The state department has given no instructions and made no re- quests looking to any different treat nent for such refugees than was ac- corded to the fedeTalS who were driven across the line several months ago at Neco AriL and at Brownsville Tex. In those cases the soldiers were dis armed and interned; the Naoo fug1- tives being sent to Fort Rosecrans, Cal. for safe keeping, and the Browns vile refugees being detained at that place

"Ive got a cinder in my eyel" How
frequently we hear this expression
in the street. especially when the
air is filled with dust and smoke. or
dirt particles carried up by
a. brisk wind. While this may
seem a trivial mishap, and often is
if the foreign substance is immedi-
ately removed from the eye. yet it
is often a most serious thing, and
the public at large little realizes that
seemingly unimportant accident of
this sort may result in serious and
permanent impairment of vision. The
membrane covering the eyeball is a
very delicate structure, and when
even a tiny speck of foreign matter
lodges on it it quickly becomes i'm
bedded. The irritation thus set up
causes the person to wink the eye
frequently. and each time the lid
closes. rubbing against the particle
it tends to imbed it still farther into
the membrane.
The efforts of sympathiZing friends
to remove the offending speck with a
handkerchief or a wooden toothpick,
instead of helping the situation,
usually result in making a bad mat
ter worse, from the damage thus
done to the tissue. Infection is then
easily. carried deeper into the tissue,
and an ulcer results. If the process
reaches this stage. even if the cause
should be completely removed, it
would be perhaps too late to prevent
scar after the ulcer heals. 1t
