HOW YOU MAY THROW

selves that they can dispense with
glasses IL they will get the following
prescription filled, at once: Go to any
active drug store and get a bottle Of
Optona; fill two-ounce bottle with
warm water and drop in one DIPLOMA
tablet. With this harmless liquid solu-
ton battle the eyes two to four times
daily, and you are likely to be aston
ished at the results right from the
start. Many who have been told that
they have astigmatism, eye-strain,
cataract. sore eyelids, weak eyes,
conjunctivitis and other eye disor-
ders, report wonderful benefits from
the use Of this prescription. Get this
prescription filled and use 1t; you
may so strengthen your eyes that
glasses will not be necessary. Thou
sands who are blind, or nearly SO, or
who wear glasses would never have
required them If they had cared for
their eyes in time. Save your eyes
before 1t is too late! Do not become
one of these victims of neglect. Eye
glasses are only like crutches and
every few years they must be changed
to fit the ever-incrsasing weakened
condition. SO better see if you can,
like many others. get clear, healthy,
strong magnetic eyes through the
prescription here given.

IOWA MINERS ARE
BECOMING RESTLESS
Strike Of About Forty Thousand Men
10 Scheduled for the Near
Future.

/ United Press Leased Wire Service. j
MARQUETTE. Mich, Ian. 19.-Dis-
content among the iron miners on thu
Gogebic and Messabe
ranges in Michigan and Minnesota has
reached an acute stage and within two
weeks big portion Of the $4,000 iron
employees will strike in sympathy with
the copper miners in the Calumet re-
gion, according to statements by
union lealers here today. Reports
were sent out from Calumet last night
that Barnum Iron Company employees
would strike this morning, but there
was every indication that trouble Is
expected within few days. It was
learned today that organizers for the
Western Federation OF Miners who
have been working quietly in the iron
fields since late last summer have
succeeded in forming many locals,
and that a strong organization has
been perfected. In addition to their
desire to aid the striking copper min
ers. the iron workers are reported to
be anxious to improve their own con.
ditions. 1t is said that the socialist
element is even stronger among the
iron miners than among the copper
mine employees and for this reason.
the leaders are said to be confident
that their efforts to unionize the dis
trict would be successful. About 49,
600 men are employed on the Mar
quette iron range and approximately
10000 In the Gogebic district, while
the normal working force on the Mess
abe range is 10000.

A Staple Medicine
for Every Family
No Self Respecting Group of
People Should be Without a
Good Family Laxative.

II is inconceivable in this day of gen
eral intelligence that any family
would be without a simple remedy for
the ills of life, for often by giving
such remedy in time serious dis.
ease can be frustrated and life
saved.
For example, If at the first sign Of a
cold simple, laxative-tonic like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin were given.
the beginning of a serious lung affec-
ton or OF typhoid fever might be
avoided. And also in headaches,
nervousness, etc, small dose of this
remedy would relieve the congestion
and replace distress with comfort.
Mothers give 1t to tiny infants and
little children. and grown people take
1t with equally good effect.
Thousands OF good American homes
are never without 1t, among them the
home Of Mrs. G. A. Wright, 1881 Pasa-
dena Ave-. Long Beach. Calf. She
had considerable trouble raising little
Lawrence, three years old, but after
regulating his bowels with small doses
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin he
began to thrive and she had no further
trouble with him. They use it gener-
ally in her home.

Spoke on the Subject Of What to do
With Six Hundred Men at
the Meeting Sunday
Afternoon.
APPRECIATIvE AUDIENCE
His Address Was Received With
Many Marked Signs Of APP
prevail by Those
Present.

The mems meeting at the Y. NJ. G..
A. yesterday afternoon was "rous-
er. Warden Sanders Of the state
penitentiary, spoke for an hour on the
subject, What to do With Six Hun
bred Men" The warden is very uni
que In his presentation. His features
reveal that he comes from race
celebrated for their wit, and he surely
showed the wheel of wit around an
ether notch. At all times was he
eloquent, driving his message with a
force that told. His audience Of two
hundred men showed it's appreciation
by applause, laughter and then at
times by deep silence.
The warden is a man Of broad and
progressive ideas. His heart is in the
work he is doing; he has as much
sympathy for the man con the inside"
as he has for the fellow on the
outside" He stated the difference
lies in the fact of being caught In
the work because he was sent for,
accepting the second appointment
after much deliberation, he dared any
one to make the statement that he
held his job because of political
pull"
Reform and not punishment Is the
idea the warden advocates, and as a
great factor toward the attaining of
such Is health. The men In his In
stitution are healthy because OF regu-
lar habits.
That the men could be made to
keep regular habits was ono of the
great blessings.
The Industrial situation Is Of an
acute nature. To take man who has
been caught and place wall be.
tween him and his right to make a liv.
ing for his family Is held by some
people as a proper condition, but the
warden furiously denounced 1t as q
crime committed by our we'll meaning
citizenship. He said that the family
must live, and that he was thankful
that the time was at hand when eyes
the inside would soon have the right
to make a living for his wife and lit
tie ones.
The saloon got Jolt from the ward
en- that resounded, and the people re-
ceived one to compare. because they
built institutions of correction, and at
the same time established agencies to
fill them.
In closing, an illustration from his
own boyhood was used He told Of a
Gear that remained on his heart be-
cause OF sheer he received from
others, better dressed than himself,
and with the words, Don't you ever
be guilty of that" the warden sat
down amidst prolonged applause.
Special music was furnished by the
Trinity male quartet. The meeting
for next Sunday will be announced
later.

Suppose Men Tried It.

The American people look on the attl-
tude of English government officials
toward the militant sufiragettes with as
tonishmertt. 1t is very safe to say that
that sort of thing wouldn't go in this
country. If, with savorv meal steam
ing OH the table, prisoner refused to
eat nature would be allowed to take her
course and the responsibility would rest
on the seli-starver. But the chances are
that, before any sane person starved TO
death in the presence of appetlzing food
the demands of hunger would get the bet
ter Of the demands of sentiment -
Suppose a case. however apart from
the starvation business Imagine the res
idence OF Lloyd George or Mr. Asquith
to be besieged b. mob of sufTragettes
and that the police captured dozen of
them, caught in the very act of incendiar-
'sm or destruction of property. Suppose
the prisoners to be taken TO Jail and that
when the women on duty came to search
them, they made the surprising discovery
that they had got a bunch of men dis
guised as women.
What an outbreak of Indignation would
follow at that exhibition of cowardiCe,
and what severity would be administered
to the lawless men! The mere sugges-
ton calls TO mind the fact that the mis-
taken kindness shown to women is shown
to them because they are women Hart

New Phases of Taxation.

Last week we referred to bill offered
in the New York Legislature proposing
ten per cent. less tax on buildings and
improvements, than upon the land ITSELF
and then following with a ten per cent.
reduction each year until the valuation
of buildings becomes one-half what the
land is.
We haye learned since that this is the
law in certain cities of PENNSYLVANIA,
notably Pittsburgh and Scranton, and
that these cities petItioned for the law on
the ground that it would encourage build
ing. reduce congestion OF the population
and increase available sites for homes
and industrial plants. 1t seems that the
law is working very satisfactorily.
Pennsylvania took its lesson from
Western Canada, where this doctrine has
been at work for some time. 1t is vio-
lenty opposed in New York City as look.
ing forward to the establishment of the
single tax. In the meantime, another
sort oi tax is suggested-what is called
the increment tax. 1t prevails largely
in German cities. 1t provides that the
increased valuation of land shall sustain
1 per cent. tax upon the increased
value of the law.-Ohio State Journal.

time for you to change makes.
Run your incubator in a room where
the temperature is as even as possible,
for while a regulator can take care of
a considerable change in room tenn

room in a house is rather changeable,
but success can be had if careful at
tention is paid to its operation. The
room will be colder in the day than

larger flame will be required to keep
up the temperature. A clean cellar is
an ideal place.
