SPECS

Look around you in the cities
and you will see on every hand
very young children and a large
per cent of the adult class with
glasses.
This is not in accord with ma
ture. There is something wrong
with our methods of living that
brings about this result. One
thing as much as another, per-
haps, is the straining of the eye
reading poorly printed papers.
The print is small, the paper
very badly printed very often,
and with our modern methods
of lighting, the glare makes
eye strain sure. Eye strain
long continued, puts the glasses
on us. The medical authorities
and health boards should take up
this matter of poorly printed
papers, magazines and put the
ban on them. The type should
be large and clear and the print
ing the best that can be had.
There is no, excuse for a poorly
printed paper. When you see
one, you can set it down that it is
because the office does not care
for the public. It sometimes
happens in the best regulated
office, that some copies will be
bad; but this is rare if the Office
man knows his business and the
management of the paper has
any regard for the patrons of the
same.
Another grave danger is the
passenger coach which is not
screened to protect passengers
from cinders and other debris. 1t
is brutal to expose passengers to
such dangers. The eye, ear, nose
and lungs suffer from this neglect.
The Pullman cars are screened
but it costs extra to ride in one.
Undoubtedly the Pullman Car
owner and the railroad have an
understanding that the railroad
will make conditions in the day
coach as miserable as possible to
force passengers to take the Pull
man.
This matter should be looked
into by Congress ere we become
a nation of half blind people.

One of the greatest calamitieS
of the age, is death by sunstroke.
In Chicago, which city is situated
on the lake, the death toll has
been heavy. In sight of water,
they allow their citizens to fall
by hundreds. Put water on the
streets, put moisture in the air,
and sunstroke will disappear like
magic.

contest in the final race in No
vember between the Democratic
and Republican parties.
In the primary, Miller, White
and Clay are the contestants.
The friends of each one claim
that their favorite is a winner.
In this important race, Mr.. Miller
comes out squarely for the county
unit bill. His two opponents re-
main silent on the question.
Therefore, the friends of county
unit know what to do. The Re-
publican candidate, Mr.. German
Holiday, is fine fellow.
In the County Judges race,
there will be no Republican cam
didate in the primary. This
leaves the race between Judge
Shackelford and Judge Rice. This
contest is attracting the attention
of the county. Shackelford is
claiming that he is entitled to an
endorsement; that he has saved
the county some money and has
put its financial affairs in a better
condition. On the other hand;
Rice'S friends claim that what
ever has been accomplished in
this direction, is not the result of
Judge Shackelford's efforts indi-
vidually, but is the result of the
wise policies of the Fiscal Court
of which both Judge Rice and
Judge Shackelford are members
and which court is composed of
able men who are careful and
considerate of the public money,
and who have directed the fnan-
cial policies of the county.
The SherifPs race in the pri-
mary is so divided among the
many honorable contestants that
not much attention is attracted
to the claims of any one candi-
date. The power of concentra-
ton of the vote will undoubtedly
be applied by the conservative
voter for the reason that he can
not see any good reason why he
should throw his vote away to
compliment some neighbor. In
the next few days this process of
elimination will narrow the con-
test SO that the people can get a
line on the race. At present the
following gentlemen are going to
the wire pretty well punched: E.
Deatherage, N. B. Jones, Jacob
Collins, H. H. Colyer and Van
Benton. Mr.. John Baldwin did
not enter the contest. The Re-
publican candidate is Mr.. A. C..
Benge. The Bull Moose candi-
date is Mr.. E. S. Baker. Of
course these latter candidates are
representing a barren ideality."
But when you hit the trail of
the County Attorneys you have
real hot stuff. So hot indeed
that the ordinary candidate is like
an iceberg. You must go some
to keep up with this procession.
The pacemaker is undoubtedly
o. P. But S. A. D. Jones says
that he will make the boys look
SAD in the face on election day.
The Jailer's race is scattered.
Its remains are all over the coun.
ty. w. ]. Wagers seems to be
collecting them together prett,
well and if he can corral his
catch, should be able to put il
over the other gentlemen. But
there is man in the Western
part of the county who think:
that Mr.. Wagers will be 'Tay
lored' this time.
The Assessors race is over
Swallowed by the other races ant
the candidates do not seem to b,
putting much speed into the run
ming. All are in good form TO
the final dash.

Tells Mothers What To Do For
Delicate Children.

"My fourteen-year-old daughter was
very thin and delicate. She had q
bad cough so that became very much
alarmed about her health. She was
nervous and did not sleep well, had
very little appetite and doctors did
not help her. Having heard so much
about Vinol, l decided to give it
trial. 1t has helped her wonderfully.
She can sleep all night now without
coughing once; in fact, her cough Is
gone. Her appetite is greatly inn
proved and she has gained in weight.
Vinol is a wonderful medicine, and
will always keep it in the house. l
wish every mother knew what Vinol
will do for delicate children" Mrs.

This delicious cod liver and iron
preparation without oil is a wonderful
body-builder and strength-creator for
both young and old. We promise
to give back your money in every
such case where Vinol does not
benefit. This shows our faith in Vinol

Utilizing the Waste.

In the city OF Brussels, the school chill
dren were asked by their teachers to gath
er up as they came and went from school
such apparently valueleSs objects as old
metallic bottles, capsules, tin cans, tinfoil,
paint tubes, refuse metal. and deliver the
same into the keeping of their teachers.
Within eight months they collected: l,925
pounds of tinfoil, bottle capsules 4,4l5
pounds, 20 pounds OF old paint tubes,
1,22l pounds scraps of metal. total 1881
pounds. This heap Of rubbish was sold
and its proceeds applied so as TO COM
pletely clothe $40 poor children and send
90 to recuperative colonies and there still
remained quite balance.
Stop letting things go to waste and thus
administer to your independence in later
years.

II was at the conclusion OF Jackson's
victorious campaign in the Shenandoah
Valley, in the spring OF 1862, that he told
Hon. Alexander Boteler "if he had 10000
infantry, with Ashby's cavalry and Chew's
famous mounted battery of horse artillery,
that he could march through the North al
any point he desired" Captain Chew
afterward became colonel of Stuart's
Horse Artillery. Jackson had special
admiration for the effective work OF
Chew's battery, il being the first organ

The teacher in the country school de-
cided to have each one OF her pupils draw
some OF their lessons, that they might
have some practice in that direction.
She therefore recited the story OF the
landing of the Pilgrims, and after she had
finished she asked that each pupil draw
from his or her own idea a picture OF
Plymouth Rock.

little boy hesitated and finally raised his
hand.

The Veterans.

Their battle flags have gathered dust,
Their bugleS are no longer blown,
Their guns are covered deep with rust
The youthful hopes they had are ilown;
Meath many mound their comrades lie,
Their heads are bent their step is slow,
And cen perchance you wonder why
They fought so mady long ago;
But, though the cannon has been stilled
And foolish prejudice has died.
His soul is small who is not thrilled
To see them marching side by side.
For worldwide peace we may appeal
And scorn the belted soldiers trade.
Or speak the deep contempt we feel
For mimic warriors on parade.
But these old men. whose heads are bowed.
Are worthy still of our applause;
Their valor still may make us proud,
Though Time has cleared away their cause
Peace reigns, and shall through all the years,
Yet, mean at heart, his blood is cold
Who feels no thrill and sheds notears
As their brave story is retold.
