WHY NOT READ ON A TRAIN !

Many people believe that it is in
furious to the eyes to read on train,
but few seem to know why. The
reason is the added strain on the deli
cate muscles of the eyes. The motion
of the train shakes the paper or book
constantly. thus continually chang
ing its position and its distance from
the eyes, keeping the delicate muscles
of the eyes in constant action to re-
adjust the focus. Extra work is thus
thrown on these tiny muscles. as the
changing of focus occurs sometimes a
hundred times a minute.
Another cause of eye-strain in
reading on trains is the poor light
ing usually encountered Often peo-
pie try to read their evening papers
on a train or street-car when the day
light is fading and before the car
lights are turned on. Even with the
lights on, the situation is not greatly
improved. The cars are frequently
Icrowded and strap-hangers sway back
land forth between the paper and the
lsource of light Usually the light Is
thigh up in the center of the car cell.

SOME LIGHT ON CANCER.

One person in eleven who dies past
middle age is carried off by cancer.
1t is the most dreadful of diseases, and
so common that If it were more sud-
den and spectacular the world would
be wild with terror at 1t. A COM
mission engaged in studying cancer
in England reports that none of the
treatments which we have hoped
might be cures are effective. This is
disappointing. But we want light on
this disease. and the report gives us
little. In cancer hereditary? This
is a question which thousands are
asking themselves every day.
Well, this report shows that mice
are born of cancerous parents develop
the disease to the number of one in
every five. while those born of non
|cancerous parents have it in the per-
|centage of one in nine. Mice are

same ratios of liability may not exist

interesting. People who have had
cancer in the family may not know
that it Is thought to be hereditary
through the mother rather than the
father. Such, however, is the fact.
The best belief now is that there
is no cancer germ. Experimenters
have shown their disbelief in the
germ theory of cancer by cutting

WHAT EVERY WOMAN IS LEARN.
ING

Every woman is coming to know
that advertising has a real value to
her. In olden days, under olden con-
ditions. store-advertising was a very
negligible thing. 1t consisted of either
the dull, formal announcements of
the conservative stores, or of the hys-
terical, misleading and .stampeding"
style of advertisements resorted to by
the irresponsible stores. In neither
case was advertising important to the
housewife. nor of the nature of
service" to her in planning her pur-
chases.
Within the three decades just past,
advertising has evolved from these
olden conditions into it's present
status of store-service. No worthy
store would now think of emitting
it, or of limiting it too much in the
scope of its usefulness. 1t would be
tiers wholly inadequate, or with no
delivery system, nor clerks. For the
advertising is as much a part of store
service as ony other phase of store
keeping.
Women have learned. and are
learning that only stores that are
adequately advertised are able to give
real values-are able to compete in
value-giving with other stores that
advertise. The store that does not
advertise is not considered at all ex-
cept as a mere neighborhood shop, to
which we are driven by necessity
sometimes-always to our loss.
Women are learning that the ad-
vertised store, selling great quanti-
| ties of goods, is able to sell them at a
much smaller per-sale profit than
the unadvertsed store, which must
make It's profits from a small number
of sales. This truth makes store-ad-
vertising of real Importance of every
woman-to every buyer.

BELIEVE IN YOUR BUSINESS OR
CHANGE IT

If there were only one way on
earth to make living, there might
be some excuse for engaging In
business without thoroughly believ-
ing in it.
But there are thousands of occu-
pations offering a variety suited to
every person in the world, including
Indians not taxed. as Bill Nye was
fond of remarking.
No man is so useless and incom-
petent as the crouch who does not be-
lieve in his work.
Disloyalty, INSTRUMENTATION. grumb-
ling and unreliability are the ear
marks of the job-hater, and the faith
full performance of his work is i'm
possible
The word duty" is despised by the
growler and glorified only by the
man who loves what he does and be-
lieves in it.
If you do not believe in your BUSH
ness, try first to see If you can. Don t
make change unless it is absolutely
necessary, for three removes are as
bad as fire. But if you really and
honestly can't put your heart and
soul into what you are doing, dc
something else. Search your own
mind, and then examine the classified
column.
The world is full of opportunity
and no man is useless who loves his
work; for the man who loves his
work will love his wife, his neigh
bors, his enemies and his dog. Be
sides, he will respect himself, which
is something that man can never
do who loathes his business, hates to
see the sun rise and damns his en-
ployer.

POLITICAL DEMENTIANA."

Several phases of brainstorms and
Americana dementiana" have been
discussed by able nerve specialists but
the political dementiana hasn't been
listed yet.
We see 1t here right at home and
the epidemic is at it's height, increas-
ing in virulence as election time ap-
proaches. The disease is always
rampant during political upheavals
but it is at city election time that 1t
carries it's unfortunate victim farth-
est away from sanity.
The symptoms are easily recognize
able. 1t invariably attacks editors
first. They see in their candidate a
saint with all virtues; in the other a
devil with horns. This form is very
contagious as it affects many Of the
readers. Finally, the victim sees his
party candidates nothing less than
little gods instead of-sometimes a
flock of hoarse, perspiring and crafty
statesmen" Frequently some of the
victims become SO bugs" that they
will engage in arguments and finally
want to fight. Others will slug or
hire sluggers. The fever which at
tends political dementiana" will
cause the sufferer to make wild
charges and subject him to believing
similar tables. Fat men it will cause
to imagine that they are great on get
ting up 'frameups'' or getting some
thing on some one." Lean men get
decisions that they are to be ap-
pointed to office and usually let the
grocer and butcher wait while they
squander money to this end.
In short, the disease is very ram
pant just now and If some of its I'M
fortunate victims could look into a
mirror they would be cured by their
own laughter.

When they vary from silver to green

And who shall be lovely shef
Then give her the favor of barking to

dove!
And give her the beauty of following

As the cloud in the sky or n wave In
the sea!
Give her such purity vivid with light
As the wonder of passion can be,
Aware In the day and rapt in the night,
And none shall be lovely she:

find
In the sharing of beauty of body and
The paramount beauty of giving. that
May immortality give it!-but give
her 10 me!
