EYE GLASSES SHOULD GO
SAYS NEW YORK PHYSICIAN.
Here Is His Free Prescription.

Many who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care
is necessary. The eyes of old and
young should be properly bathed night
and morning. This is more important
than cleansing teeth" says he and
then he goes on to say:
1.-THE following treatment is worthy
of fullest confidence. 1t is scientific,
Immediately effective and positively
harmless to the weakest of eyes. Go
to any drug store, get tube of Diploma
tablets, dissolve one in a two ounce
bottle of pure water and battle the eyes
two to four times daily. What is gen.
orally known as eye strain will soon
be banished while the muscles and
nerves are permitted to perform their
normal functions. 1t helps diseased
eyes and it keeps good eyes healthy:
1t is absolutely harmless in every way;
does not smart or burn, has a wonder.

FOOD Of BRITISH
SAILOR A DISGRACE
ERcRoW DED FoREcAsTLEs
FORCE SELF RESPECTING MEN
OUT MERCHANT MARINE.
(Ey associated PreSS.)

Liverpool, Aug. 6.-The living quart
ers and food to which the British mer-
chant sailor is subjected constitute a
disgrace to civilization, according to
Dr.. Herbert Williams, medical officer
of the port of London, who spoke at
the recent Sanitary Congress here.
What would be said" declared DR..
Williams, eff any sanitary authority
ashore permitted to be inhabited a
house of two rooms built of impervious
materials, each lighted by three i'm
movable windows seven inches square,
and each inhabited by eight men with
fourteen square feet of free space avail
able for each. Furthermore, picture
the room heated by cheap stove,
usually broken, with the chimney pass
ing through the only available venti-
lator. Yet seamen live for many weeks
under such conditions" 1t is an &C.
cepted fact that men living under I'M
healthy conditions degenerate physi-
cally and morally"
All other speakers declared the food
on merchant ships to be unfit to eat.
and, with the vile and overcrowded
forecastles, self-respecting men were
forced out of the service. The send
ing of consumptive men to sea with ?
view to cure also increase the dangers
of disease-breeding quarters.
DR.. Perrin Norris, the Australian del
egate. proposed to make the question
an international one, as the evil is
worldwide. Yet the British standard
--ine fare, he said, is the lowest
of any country.

people an opportunity to register their

of the total OF 57,271, are found in the
third grade. To be qualified for this
grade the citizen must pay land tax
or else an imperial tax to the amour

MOSQUITO FIGHT
IS OFFICIAL DUTY
BY DIR. w. A. EVANS, M. D.

In addition to being continual
source oil annoyance because Of their
bite, mosquitoes are evidences of un-
their larvae period in cesspools,
sanitary conditions in whatever dis
trict they may be found. They pass
ocked- up canal ends, water butts,
and wherever filthy water collects.
Their number is a fair measure of in
sanitation.
In such infected districts there is
no rest in the evening. 1t is slap, bang,
swat, scratch, necessarily. All work
must end. These things must be en-
dured to he fully realized. Why not
be rid of the pest for all time and live
in comfort?
Is Economic Problem.
The reduction Of the domestic mos
quito presents no difficulties. Given
the necessary means it requires a little
organization and perseverance. 1t
should be regarded as a measure of
economic Importance, for it improves
the public health. In all places where
mosquitoes exist local authorities
should be forced to take up the work
of their extinction as a matter of
routine and it should not foe left
entirely to private enterprise.
The cost of the campaign should
be estimated and included lin the
municipal budget as a very desirable
reform. The cost is not great and a
small local tax of only few cents
per head of population generally COW
ers all the expenses. The cost may
fiuctuate somewhat in event af heavy
rains and the like, but as an average
it will be very low.
Perseverance Is Essential.
Perseverance, however, is essential
to success, for results will not be forth.
coming Immediately and the tendency
will be to lose interest. There is nc
truth in the statement that mosqui
toes live but day, although it is very
difficult to even estimate their life
cycle. Careful investigation, howev
ever, places the average life of the in
land type at about three weeks. This
| refers to the females, as the males OF
all types live but a few days. In
their little life they have a definite
| function to perform, the perpetuatior
of their species, and for this reason
their determination must be accom-
plished.
