THAT BACKWARD BOY

Now would be a good time to have
the eyes of your boy or girl attended
that showed symptoms of weak eyes
last term of school. The backward or
unprogressive boy or girl In school is
usually the child with a hidden eye de-
feet that teacher. parent and regular
doctor cannot detect. We have even
seen or known of eye examiners to over
look eye defects in young children be-
cause the focusing muscles in the childs
eyes We're so extremely active as to
lead the examiner astray. We have
cases on our books that verify the
above. Few people realize to what ex-
tent children are weakened and made
to dislike all book study because of
some existing eye defect; this Is often
overlooked and left uncorrected and the
defects grow and become 'set," then
the child is saddened for life with a de-
feet of the eyes that requires the con-
tant swearing of glasses this to re-
lieve the nervous and head troubles
brought on by the defects The glasses
are then clutches to the eyes and are
seldom dispensed with after. The
thoughtful parent that looks into the
future will try to see that their childs
eyes are protected in the Formative
period to avoid the wearing of glasses
In the future. II you wish honest and
reliable information regarding your
eyes, have them thoroughly examined

On a strict party vote of the major
ity last Friday in tho house the demo-
Gratis placed In the Moon railway
pay bill in its preliminary consider
alton, provision that would sweep
from the civil service list all assistant
postmasters, clerks and other en-
ployes of postoffices throughout the
entire system, and made them personal
appointes OF the local postmasters. The
republicans held aloof and the demo-
Gratis carried the provision through by
a vote of rs to Is of their own MEM
bership. This shows something of the
abnormal, omniverous appetite for Of
flee which the brethren of the OPP
position acquired while browsing on the
public commons during the long, dreary
seventeen years of political drouth whic
struck them after their other raid on
the public Golfers under Cleveland. Mr..
Wilson was great shouter and
exhorter In all the civil service revival
meetings up to his inauguration fest
ivities since which day and date he has
done more to infract the rules and dis
rupt the civil service system than any
four presidents since Andrew Jackson.
President Elliott of Harvard, who is ais
president of the National Civil Service
League. so charged Mr.. Wilson, and the
charge is easy of proof. Mr.. Wilson wa
vice president to Mr.. Elliott in the
great national civil service organization,
and was a jealous worker for civil
service reform so long the rep
ublicans were the ones to be reformed,
but like his platform plank and his
campaign speeches in favor of free
canal tolls" he soon forgot II all. or
he realized the utter futility of trying
to reform his party members when 1t
comes to distributing the political pie. :"
Mr.. Elliott arraigned President Wilson
through the North American Review
and other avenues, for having gone back
on his pledges for enforcement of
civil service rules. and quoted letters
from the president to show his incon-
sistency.

WHERE the CREDIT BELONGS.

Give the devil his due. Had ii not
been for the emergency currency bill.
which was the joint production of SEN
ator Aldrich and representative Vree-
land interest rates might now have
been kiting and our principle circulat-
ing medium might have been clearing
house certificates, says the Oregonian.
AS 1t is we are assured of an
ample volume of currency, absolutely
safe. and certificates will be used
only by the banks in settling
their balances While our millionaire
tourists in Europe find their drafts and
letters of credit are regarded as so mu
waste paper by European bankers, the
United States issues paper money with
out a doubt of Its value arising i'm the
public mind. The new currency is Sc
cured by the accumulated wealth of
a great, prosperous Nation, which is at
peace, while nearly all the rest of the
civilized world is at war.
How the Democrates did rave agains
Mr.. Aldrich when he fought to get the
emergency currency bin through the
Senate! They accused him of trying
to use the Government in bolstering up
the prices of railroad securities and in
buttressing the money trust. How glad
ly they fly to the same bill well
come refuge In trouble! They enacted
1t in their currency bill last December.
and now they give 1t their renewed APP
prevail by simply enlarging the amount
of notes which may be issued under its
provisions. They considered its re-en-
actment only superabundance of eau
ton, for they believe their currency law
would meet all possible needs, but they
have been so slow about putting that
law in operation that war has driven
them to accept the Aldrich-V reeman law
emergency caused by the war;
Mr.. Aldrich did much mischief In his
time and the Oregonian does not regret
his retirement, but he did some excel
lent work in his time. BY the emergency
currency bill he provided for such
financial condition as now exists. That
bill was designed only as an expedient
to meet emergencies By the banking bill
which bore his name. but which was the
product of the entire National Monetary
Commission, democrats and republicans
alike, he proposes a permanent system.
The body and legs of that bill have been
taken into the Glass owen law and on
ly a new head and arms have been CIV
en- to 1t by its Democratic foster
fathers. The ex-senator has good cause
to smile as he watches present events
from retirement.

is a marvel as logician and "argufier.
He says, Judge Ailshie owns a personal

is supposed to have some sort of an

he says; But what difference does 1t
make whether he owns the three papers

controlled. and the Signal and Recorder

Ailshie, because they are supporting

according to the Tribunes assertion, the
Boise paper is not supporting Brady.

and ran throughout the day, though
only about one-third Of the mill, was

to operate. the mill. L. w. Parker,
president Of the Parker Cotton Mills
Company, has inserted in the local
press a full statement of the confer

minutes of the conference, is made in
order that all may understand the

johnson Present Bill For Aid.

acknowledgements Johnson
introduced a bill to pay to certain
persons who suffered by the recent
hail and wind storm in Laurens and
Spartanburg counties the sum of $780,
600. On July 7 those two counties
were visited by a severe storm which
did considerable damage to crops.
Mr.. Johnson believes that those
who suffered should be reimbursed
for what they lost. As Mr.. Johnson is
a member of the house committee on
appropriations and is one of the men
in congress who has the right to say
what money shall be appropriated
for various purposes, it is more than
likely that the bill will be favorably
reported and passed at an early date.

CLARENDON HONORS
UNVElL GREAT MONUMENT AT
MANNING TO CONFEDERATE
HEROES.
ENORMOUS CROWD ATTENDS
With Impressive Ceremony County
Shows Its Love for Soldiers who
Fought Good Fight.

Manning.-The ceremonial unvell-
ing of the Clarendon county Confeder'
ate monument here attracted an i'm
mense throng of people from all Sec
tons of the county and a feeling of
patriotic enthusiasm seemed to per-
wade the entire assemblage.
A band from Charleston was pres
n and furnished excellent music at
intervals throughout the exercises of
the day.
The first feature was an automobile
parade in which about two-score car
took part, taking for a ride over
town all the veterans present, about
so in number, the speakers OF the
day, the ladies composing the monu'
ment committee and the little girls
who had been selected to draw the
cords at the unwilling of the statue.
j. H. Lesesne presided and intro
duced the speakers, who were John
]. McSwain of Greenville and Col.
James Armstrong CT charleston. Inc
addresses were of an unusually high
order and. were heard with great in
terest. The business houses of the
town closed during the exercises.
The monument, beautifully symmet.
trical and chaste in design, is 26 feet
high and consists of a triple base, a
die containing inscriptions on all four
sides, a shaft bearing in raised sculp-
ture a Confederate flag dropping from
a broken staff, and the whole sur
mounted by a statue representing a
young soldier standing at parade rest
with an old-time muzzle loading mus
ket. The material of the monument
is Winnsboro granite except the
statue, which is of Italian marble. The
inscription on the four sides of the
die are all in raised lettering and are
intended to be read progressively
from north to east, south and west.
On the base of the north side is in.
scribed in ornate capitals, "Our He
roes."

ance, favors a boy. In support Of this
theory it is advanced that in times OF
financial panic or war, when a plenti.
full quantity Of rich heterogeneous food
Is not available, male infants are in
the preponderance.
The second theory is that sex is de-
termined by the activity Of the adrenal
glands, those ductless glands above
the kidneys, which secrete a substance
that seems to have an important effect
on the entire muscular and nervous
system.
It is declared that in women who
are deficient IN the adrenal supply
their offspring are female. 1t is there
fore thought that the use Of the ex.
tract of %suprarenal glands Of animals
or q similar substance which would
stimulate the adrenal glands would in.
crease the chances of a male child. BE-
DR.. Bran says that Of 80 of his pa.
tents who placed themselves under his
directions 26 gave birth to boys.
These results" he writes. strongly
indicate that the experiment employed
was highly successful, and that he
probably have at Dur disposal a means
of controlling at will the sex Of the un-
born infant"
In accordance with these theories If
q boy is desired the treatment is diet
airy and medicinal. Eggs, meat, fish,
and cheese are forbidden, and it is d.
rected that the diet consist of such
substances as cereals, fruits, potatoes,
milk, buttermilk and butter. Plenty of
water. Is advised.

CLIMATE IS FINE
Sunny Places of the Mediterran.
D.
can Country.
Malaga, Spain, Has Only 20 Rainy
Days In Year-Moroeco and Al
giers, In Africa, Have Many
Notable Resorts.

London.-Countries along the Med
iterranean sea are noted for the ex-
c~ellence OF their climate. Malaga,
Spain, possesses n of the best eli
mates in Europe. The rainy days are
said to number only 40 in the year.
Morocco and Algeria in Africa af.
ford several notable resorts, such as
Morgadore, Tangier and Algiers. They
possess a much larger proportion of
warm days and a greater immunity
from cold winds than any of the re.
sorts on the northern shore Of the
Mediterranean. Still, owing to the
frequency Of sea breezes and the vi
cinity of high mountains, their eli
mates are moister than might have
been anticipated. .
Thus the annual rainfall at Algiers
Is SO inches, and of this .four-tifths
or fve-sixths falls during the winter
season. The interior Of Algeria at.
fords several resorts en- the verge OF
the great desert-such as Biskra-
where the climate conditions rival the
warmth and sunshine of Egypt.
The land Of the Nile possesses one
of the most wonderful climates in the
world. Here alone are found asso-
ciated perpetual sunshine and practi-
cal rainlessness with verdure and fer
tility. The rainfall of Egypt varies
from eight inches annually at Alexan.
dria and n inch and a quarter at
Cairo to nil at Luxor, where it is face
tiously said to rain once in every 1000
years.
With such a rainfall the number Of
dull and cloudy days Is necessarily
very small-almost perpetual sun
shine may be said to prevail. and a
high degree Of atmospheric dryness is
attained. The drawbacks to such o
climate as that Of Egypt are the great
contrast between the day and the
night temperatures, owing to the in
tense energy Of radiation, the glare Of
the sunlight and the plague Of dust.

Little Trachoma in State.

Washington.-Results Of an inves-

North and South Carolina to deter
mine how prevalent trachoma Is
were made public by the public
health service.
The survey was under the direction
of Passed Assistant Surgeon A. D.
Foster and shows the disease exists
only in isolated localities. Conditions
were found to be better than in the
mountain sections Of Kentucky, West
Virginia and Virginia, where the dis
ease also exists.
Of 1896 persons examined in the
two states, only "a were found to have
the disease. Most of these cases were
on the Cherokee Indian reservation
in Swain county, North Carolina, 20
cases being located in that county,
practically all of which were trace
able to the reservation school.
