THEATER HEADACHES

The most frequent cause of head
aches occurring during or after the
theater is eye strain. People who use
the full energy of the delicate eye
muscles to obtain perfect vision, are
often unconscious of this strain. In
the theater, the continuous effort to
keep evrything constantly focused eX-
hausts the nerve centers and headache
results. The practice of seating the
audience in total darkness while they
are staring into an intensely lighted
stage, is another serious factor. The
pupils being widely dilated in the dark,
admit the excess of light from the
stage, often producing irritation of
the eyes which lasts sometimes for
days. Those subject to headaches
should never sit where it is necessary
to raise the eyes to watch the stage.
This unnatural position of the eyes is
very tiresome even to those who never
have trouble at other times. Unfor-
tunately the theatergoing public has
not insisted on proper ventilation with
out drafts. The overheated foul air
of itself lessons the spectators vitality
and power of endurance. This fol-
lowed by drafts frequently produces
stuffing up the nose or cold in the
head and a disagreeable headache
from internasal pressure, which is
usually worse the following morning.

WAYS AND MEANS BODY
AGREES ON REVENUE BILL
Taxation on Beer, Wine and Railroad
Freight viii Make Up Deficit
Caused by European War.

Washington, Sept, 12.-Taxation on
beer, wine and railroad freight in
transit will be provided in the emer-
gency revenue bill, according to an
agreement reached by the Democratic
members of the ways and means com
mittee
President Wilson finally agreed to
accept a tax on freight, to which he
had made a previous objection.
The Democrats plan to raise $685.
100000 by an additional tax of so cents
barrel on beer. making total of
$3.50 a barrel.
They plan to raise 100000 addi-
tional by tax of 20 cents a gallon on
wines and S650O0,000 by a tax on
freight in transit, the tax to be three
per cent of the freight bin.
These items. it is estimated. will
raise slightly more than the 100000
GOO necessary for emergency revenue
purposes
Following their agreement, members
of the committee telephoned the White
House and were informed that the
president would accept the bill as pro-
posed by the house committee. The
bill will be introduced by Chairman
Underwood
Chairman Underwood said that the
tax on freight would be collected ny
the railroads when they collect the
freight bills, and instead of collecting
bill of 81 the railroads will take
Sl.0S. For the expense of collection
the railroads are to be allowed one
per cent of the amount actually col
lected; that is, for collecting S100 in
internal revenue taxes, the railroad
will receive 81 for its trouble and the
government will get $99
The tax will be easily collected"
SAID Underwood, and viii hardly be
felt, A merchant with freight bills of
$4,000 will pay tax of $500, but the
volume of business represented by
$4,000 in freight bills would approx
mate more than a million dollars, so
the $500 tax would be spread very
thinly over a wide area and large
number of persons +"
The tax on domestic wines viii fan

on wines made for home consumption,
nor on wines already stored in cellars

AS VIEWED BY AN EXPERT
Navy journal Gives His Ideas
of the Wars Progress.

The rapid advance of the enveloping
movement by which the allies are
turning the German right flank is be
ginning to have a decisive influence
on the German campaign. The re-
ported retreat of the Germans to
scissors cuts them off from their nat
ural lines of communication.
Indeed the allied move is so threat
ening to the entire rear of the Ger
mans right flank that they have to
consider the alternative of getting
quick results in their attacks on the
French lines or else retiring In time
to save their right wing from disaster.
The mention of this turning force
of the allies as a British and French
army indicates that the British have
been rushing forward their later ex-
petitions via Havre and Dieppe and
moving them to the front as a sepa-
rate army.
The retrogression of the German
army of General Won Kluck freed the

Opinion of Wars Progress
Pope Making Efforts

Victories for the allies on both the
left and center before Paris were re.
ported on September 10 in official
bulletins from the French war office.
Nowhere along the entire line since
the battle started has a reverse been
suffered by the allied armies.
An official communique issued by
the French war office said that the
Anglo-French troops crossed the
Marine, and after fighting battles with
the Germans right wing at Ferte-Sous
Jourarre and Chateau Thierry forced
the Germans back until the ground
the invaders have lost during the
fighting covers 40 miles.
The allies were in pursuit of the
enemy. During their advance many
prisoners and number of guns have
been taken.
Berlin Tells of Retirement.
In official communications issued in
Berlin General Won Stein announced
that the German army, which had
advanced across the Marine to the east
of Paris, was heavily attacked by the
enemy between Paris, Meaux and
Montmorail.
The fighting lasted two days. The
German army had checked the enemy
and had even advanced, but stronger
hostile columns came to the assist
ance of the allies and the enemy won
the battle, compelling the German
troops to retire.
Fifty guns were captured by the al
lies and some thousands of men made
prisoners.
Cracow Won by Russians.
Cracow, the strongest Austrian post
in Galicia, and the one which OBJ
structed the advance of the huge Rus
sian center upon BTeslau, is reported
from Petrograd to have fallen before
furious attack of Russian cavalry
and infantry under cover Of the dis
astrous fire of heavy siege guns. The
forts to the east and north of the
city were shelled and the city was
occupied by the Russians.

long been a strange anomaly, and

grave questions would have to be set
Belgium because of fthe violation OF
her neutrality and the suffering and
losses she and her people have en-
dured
A dispatch from Tokyo to Petrograd
states that Japan has joined the agree
ment of the allies not to conclude
peace without the consent of the al
lied nations.
Berlin Not Optimistic.
A private message from Berlin to
Copenhagen, passed by the German
censor, says:
The German papers evidently have
been too optimistic as to the situation
on the western battlefelds, where
overwhelming victories have been
claimed The enthusiasm of the news
papers is not found at the German
military headquarters.
This message is taken to mean that
the world is being prepared for the
announcement of the retreat of the
Germans from France. Evidently the
Germans do not feel quite safe on &C
count of the rapid and probably too
extended advance to the west.
Minister of War Millerand ordered
projects throughout France to arrest
all men liable to military duty not al
ready in service. By this means the
government expects to get at least
100000 more troops.
Pope Is Seeking Peace.
Pope Benedict has approached Aus
tria and Germany through their en-
voys in Rome, and both informed the
pontiff that they are favorably dis
posed to second his efforts for peace.
The car is understood to be prepared
to submit the pope's offer to the defer
entail consideration of Great Britain
and France. Pope Benedict hopes
that his appeal may lead to an arm
istice, which would be a prelude to
peace.
German official statements asserted
that the kaiser's army had captured
the French fortress at Maubeuge and
10000 men and many guns. This as
sertion was vehemently denied by the
French.
The German ambassador at Wash
ington admitted that in a cablegram
to the president, Emperor William
had protested against the use of dunn
dunn bullets by the allied army and the
participation in the war by Belgian
civilians.
Russians Meet Defeat.
Russian reverses at the hands of
the Germans are reported from north
ern East Prussia, but the cars forces
are reported successful farther south
in Prussia and also continue to push
back the Austrians. Russia admits
the German army is advancing in
East Prussia, and says its main eff
fort seems to be directed toward the
MaZur lake region.
