A San Francisco school teacher had
a. one Of her pupils . boy that was
both stupid and incorrigible. he
played hockey, lied like g trooper and
resisted all efforts to give him instruc-
tion Of any kind. Finally the teacher
noticed that the boys eyes were bad,
and sent note to his parents to have
them attended to. No attention was
paid to the teachers request and the
boy grew more and more refractory
and unmanageable. Finally the teacher
took him to an oeulist and had his
eyes fitted with proper glasses. The
transformation in the boys manner
and habits was little short Of marvel
Gus. He seemed for the first time to
be able to see things right. he soon
became one Of the brightest and best
pupils in the school, standing at the
head Of all his classes. It was found
that because of defective vision it was
next to impossible for him to see print
at al, that his ludicrous attempts to
answer questions in his Rotations ex-
cited the laughter and ridicule Of his
classmates and with the natural result
that he hated school and everything
connected with it. But when his vision
was restored he became q changed boy,
voluntarily giving up bad habits and
soon winning the reputation Of being
one Of the most studious and best be-
hsved boys in the scboO-snd one pair
Of glasses saved the boy,

Some time ago in these bulletins we
had something to say concerning the
importance Of properly lighted work
rooms. In this connection we urged the
frequent cleaning Of windows 30 that
at all times the maximum amount Of
natural Light might be afforded. There
are many Of the industrial trades
where light and perfect vision are Of
prime importance in turning out good
work. Il Is . well established fact
that either excessive use Of the eyes
under normal conditions OF the use of
them under bad conditions causes eye
strain, and in time serious impairment
Of vision. Specialists in diseases Of the
eye tell Us that at least so to 90 per
cent. Of headaches are caused by eye
strain, which may be due to the causes
already named and sometimes to i'm
properly fitted glasses. A noted writer
on this subject ASSETS that it Is i'm
possible to ignore the fact that many
people who are compelled to work by
artificial Light in dark, dirty and poorly
ventilated work places where the air il
foul, suffer . material and unnecessary
loss Of physical energy and that most
Of these win be found with impaired
vision due to eye strain. In fact, sta
tiSties show that among clergyman, stu
dents, clerks, engrayers and most Of the
skilled trades, from so to 100 Per cent.
show the effects Of eye fatigue or over
use Of the eyes, while among farmers,
teanSters and outdoor lAbOrers gener-
any, only / to 20 per cent. are ever
found to be affected with what we
know a. eye strain ailments,

Inconsistency---the Jewel

just how some papers could shout
for war between the United States
and Mexico, and harshly criticise the
policy of our great and patient Pres
ident, and then devote whole pages to
black cartoons and lurid editorials la
menting the war in the East is some
thing that a great many honest people
cannot understand.
Like the Irishman, we are in favor
of peace, even if we have to fight for
it. We want peace at home and We
want peace abroad. AS marksman,
our aim may be poor. We might not
be able to shoot the souls out of any
unfortunates, if we were in the field;
but, here at home, day by day, we &c
try to be consistent.

WHY DO CHRISTIAN NATIONS GO TO WARP

BILE, the brotherhood of man, the nobl-
est attainments of nations, is far re-
mote from realization. individuals in
all nations are followers of the lowly
Nazarene, and We have erasons to be-
lieve that their rulers are pious. In
deed, they are orthodox. There is
nothing lacking in the teachings of
the Bible to impress this paramount
truth. A little reflection will serve.
Many an individual is satisfied with
his souls welfare, but he goes no
further. That individual may not feel
the computations of conscience in
business relations. He is not any
more likely to feel it when placed in
Office or when born to office. Chris
tianity is propogated through individ-
uals. 1t is an individual matter Of
acceptance. Being satisfied with our,
selves, is not likely to help us see the
troubles and trials and affections OF
our neighbors. Carry the same argu-
ment to nations. A nations Chris
tianity is but the reflection of the
lives of its citizenry or its subjects.
he great truths in the teachings of the
Apostle Paul can not be too much ex-
pounded, "He made all nations of
one blood for to dwell upon the face
of the earth" The objects of all peace
societies must cluster around that
great truth and the Churches of the
living God must become more and
more united upon the great essentials
and proclaim in no uncertain tones
the brotherhood of man along with
the companion truth-the fatherhood
of God. Then and not until then will
the prophecy of Isaiah be fulfilled,
Nations shall beat their swords into
plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks"

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
To EXPLOIT DIXIE

Washington, D. c., Aug. pat three
big expositions and thirty-six district
and county fairs throughout the North
and West, exhibits of Southern farm
products showing the fine agricultural
opportunities in the territory along
their lines will be made this fall by
the Southern Railway Company and
affiliated lines. These exhibits are be-
ing made entirely at the expense of
the Southern Railway and affiliated
lines. 1t is estimated that the attend
ance at the various fairs and eXposi-
lions will aggregate three million peo-
pie, and the entire South will thus be
given wide advertising which is ex-
pected to result in the attraction of
desirable settlers.
There will be four circuits of exhi-
bits taking in county and district fairs
in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, New York, Penn
sylvania and Connecticut, while spec
I ial displays on more elaborate scale
will be made at the great Canadian
| National exposition at Toronto, Can
ada and at other expositions. Since
the beginning Of the 1914 crop season,
| agents of the land and industrial de-
partment of the Southern Railway Co..
have been at work gathering represen-
tative collections of agricultural prod
ucts, including grains, grasses, vege-
tables and fruit from every state serv-
ed by the system. Large photographs
showing farm and other views in the
South also will be used. The exhibits
will be in charge of agents thoroughly
familiar with conditions in the South
who will be on hand constantly to give
information desired about any locality
Special leaflets and booklets have been
prepared and several hundred thous-
and will be placed in the hands of
visitors.
In addition to the exhibits to be
made at Northern fairs and expositions
the Southern Railway and affiliated
lines will make educational exhibits
at large number of Southern fairs,
detailed announcement of which will
be made later

The End Will Come

when the war is over?" We'll be
singing afterwhile. How soon it will
end none can tell. All wars have
ended and this one is sure to end. 1t
will end sooner than other great wars
have ended, because of the improved
engines of war. Not only will this
war soon end; all wars will soon be
a thing of the past. If so-called
Christian nations can do no better
than fight out their differences q
opinion, then let the heather nations
those that now lok on in amazement-
set the example of settling disputes by
means of arbitration.

to sell good dry cotton, on account OF
the disturbed conditions caused by the

ket at all for wet or gin-cut cotton.
There is some little cotton being sold
to the American spinners, and they
absolutely refuse to buy at all unless
the cotton is dry and smooth and even
for this grade the demand is limited.

ance of duties, to regular labor. He
has sound body. He is eminently
fitted to do the greatest things done in
the world He recognizes that the
farm is the best place in the world in
which to live. Ten chances to one h

farm If the father can learn to make
the farm pay well, if he can make It
progressive, with hope of fine achieve
ment at the end of the struggle, then
most boys will stay 1t is when the

almost hopeless, that the young man
sets his face resolutely away from the

Success in life means keeping ones

in spite Of the fact that worldly good

be kind, to earn a little and to spend
a little less" and to take joy in the
