BUILT TO SUIT THE EYES
Professor Gave Several Hints, Worth
Consideration, on Conservation
of Vision.

The first consideration Of the build
ers of schools, churches, factories and
theaters should be for the eyes and
eyesight of the persons who will use
these buildings, according to DR.. Clar-
ence Loeb of st. Louis, who spoke re-
Gently on "The Conservation of VI
sion" DR.. Loeb, assistant profess
sor of opthalmology in st. Louis uni
versity, gave this lecture as n of a
series under the auspices of the
American Medical association, which
is carrying on an educational cam
paign now.
One person out of every 1000 is
blind and five per cent of theses cases
of blindness are hereditary, according
to DR.. Loeb. 1t has been found by
statistics that IS per cent of the chill
dren of parents afflicted with cataract
of the eye are also afflicted. Besides
cataract, there are II other diseases
of the eye that are hereditary.
A common means Of carrying eye
infection, according to DR.. Loeb, is

mitters of infection.
Industrial accidents to the eye are
common, such as injuries likely to hap
pen to the eyes of I've workers, glass
blowers, stone workers, masons and
steel and iron workers. These workers
should be made to wear goggles or put
a screen between their work and their
eyes, the speaker said.-University

CANADA'S PLACE
AS 4 PRODUCER
Canada Is Getting a Great Many
Americans.

Three young provinces, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, and Alberta" says a
New York financial journal. have al
ready made Winnipeg one of the great
est primary wheat markets of the
world. In 1904 they raised So, 000, 900
bushels of wheat. Five years later
they produced $780, 900, 900 bushels. In
1913 the crop Appropriated zoe. 000.-
600 bushels. At the present rate Of
progress Canada must soon pass
France and India, and stand third in
the line of wheat producers. Ulti-
mately 1t will dispute with Russia and
the United States for the first position.
Wheat has been the pioneer of our
development Undoubtedly it will
prove the same with Canada. In the
last calendar year our trade with Can
ada amounted to 497 million dollars.
Only with two countries-the United
Kingdom and Germany-is our trade
greater. No vivid imagination is
needed to see what the future devel-
opment Of Canada means to the
people Of the United States.
The influx of American settlers to
the Canadian prairies is now in full
swing. Within the past few days
over 80 Of those arrived at Bassano
carrying with them effects and capital
to the value Of $500, 0OO. Fifty settlers
from Oregon arrived in Alberta a few
days ago; while Is families of settlers
from tho Cfofo ~ CO10radA orrfuoa ~
Calgary on their journey northwards.
The goods and personal effects of this
party filed 20 box cars. OF live stock
alone they had IT'S horses, Is cows
and 1000 head of poultry. Another
class of settler has arrived at Peers,
Ito miles west Of Edmonton, where no
fewer than 200 Germam farmers have
taken up land. These are from good
farming families and brought with
them a large amount of capital.
Then in South Western Saskatche-
wan, there are large numbers settling,
these from the United States predomi-
mating, while in the northern and CEN
tral portions of all these provinces,
the settlement of new people is going
on steadily. Early in April, Peter
Goertz arrived in Cardiff after a six
day journey from Mcpherson, Kansas.
Mr.. Goertz who had purchased land
here was in charge of a party of SO
people from the same part of Kansas
and they came through with a special
train which included all their stock
and implements. The equipment was
all Rock Island cars, and was the first
full immigrant train ever sent out by
that railroad. The farms purchased
by the members Of the party are
amongst the best in the district.

But when did a man ever listen to his ssterinlaw if a beautiful girl
happened to be reckoning to him?
Harley Worthington had hardly heard what had been said to him, and
If he had been worried by the warning he had received he forgot all about it
the next time he looked into Janets dark eyes.
1t was the season when a young mans fancy is most likely to turf to
thoughts Of love. There were blossoms o the trees beneath which Harley
and Janet rode n the sunny mornings and often he would break off punches
of the fragrant blooms for her, always with the feeling that. beautiful as
they were, she was far more beautiful than anything else in the. world.
One day when they had ridden out beyond the limits Of the city and
INTO the pleasant countryside they halted their horses beneath a wild crab
apple tree at the edge of a cemetery. While Harley was breaking off a
blossoming bough Janet gazed curiously at a number of gravestones which
were set in even rows and which all seemed to be exactly alike.
Tomorrow is Decoration day, isn't it?" she asked.

He was repeating what the minister
