It is apparent that more children are
wearing glasses than used to be the
case, and the question frequently oc-
ours as TO the cause of this state of
affairs. Are children having too heavy
demands made on them, or are glasses
being ordered when there is no neces-
sity for them. 1t is undoubtedly the
fact that the average child nowadays
has more schoolwork than formerly,
and among all classes the eyes of the
child are being used for near work to
a greater extent than was the case a
generation ago. During the growing
period of the child. the outer envelope,
or supporting tissue of the eyeball,
does not attain its full degree of firm
ness and hardness, and any strain on
the focusing muscles has a tendency
to make the eyeball stretch. This
stretching OF the eyeball is really the
condition which is commonly known
as ear-sightedness, and is caused in
most instances by strain in reading.
Many people believe that child may
be born near-sighted. but this is not
the case.
Near-sightedness always occurs
from strain. and in the great majority
of cases can be prevented, or at least
kept down to low degrees. II requires
no special knowledge TO appreciate the
fact that a tissue when stretched is
weaker than before and is likely to go
on stretching, and this is the danger
in near-siGhted eyes. Such eyes are
apt TO stretch and grow worse until
the child attains its full growth. and

is the principal cause is well known.
This word is becoming rather familiar,
and yet its meaning is contantly mis-
understood. Many people suppose that
astigmatism means difference in the
two eyes, which is entirely wrong. II
is an irregularity of the front part of
the eye where the curves should be
symmetrical but are not. This irreg-
ularity or inequality of the curves
makes objects appear blurred. Ger
tain lines in the objects looked at
seem family distinct while certain 9TH
ers are blurred, and this causes the
eyes to make strong muscular efforts
to overcome the blur and get a per-
fectly clear image. The strain brought
about to correct the astigmatic image
leads to stiffness and cramp of the
muscles with headaches, and in Sc
the eyeball.
The surest way to stop the ever-in-
creasing dangers of near-sightedness
is to correct astigmatism by means of
properly fitting glasses during the
growing period. Recently statistics
show that In accordance with this
method of treatment. near sightedness
is becoming less. Many children are
obliged to wear glasses when reading
or during the period of greatest strain
and II the astigmatism is of small
amount. they can frequently lay aside
the glasses when they have ATTAINED
their full growth. The greatest amount
of strain is during reading or sewing
or any use of the eyes for close work
1t is, therefore, much better to allow
the child to use glasses during the
growing period, at least, and avoid

TWO ARE JAILED
ON INDICTMENTS
Charles Brasmer, Milan, and
Man Charged With Burg
larry Are Appreciated.

In the suppressed indictment return
ed by the grand jury last week two OF
particular interest, one being the hold
{ ing TO The circuit court of Charles
Brasmer. aud the other of a man
charged with the burglary at the home
of 5. c. Corolla, the Port Byron wealth
er prophet.
II Will be recalled that Brasmer was
given a hearing in local police court
some months ago. on charge of hav-
ing stolen a horse valued at $3.50 from
ed by Mrs. Nettie Trelor, who resides
in the lower end of this city.
The case was long drawn out and
after a number of hours devoted to tes-
timony, Magistrate Smith dismissed it.
Brasmer was charged with having
been in possession of the horse after
it was discovered that it had been
stolen. The possession of the animal
by Brasmer was admitted in police
court, but the manner of how he came
to be keeping the naimal never was
clearly defined.
Following the dismissal of the case
in police court. Assistant States At
torney A c. Edwards decided to take
the matter before the grand jury and
made preparations for that step i'm
mediately. Brasmer was indicted and
his arrest followed Saturday.
Oliver Whitfield was indicted for the
burglary of the home of S. c. Corolla
of Port Byron. A wallet containing a
Sc money order and SO in money and
stickpin were stolen by him, after
he broke into the house, it is charged.

European War

London-The clash of war among
the nations of Europe has not modified
the views OF the supporters Of the
Channel TUNED scheme whose desire
TO build tunnel from Dover to Calais
has beel blocked for years by the mill
tary authorities on the ground that it
would destroy England's insularity.
Several peers and members of par
lisment who have for long shown an
interest in the scheme declare that in
stead OF proving of assistance to
the enemy, a channel tunnel would
have been of supreme assistance 10
transporting the British army
They declare they will continue the
advocacy of the tunnel at the end of
the war. The precautions suggested
TO prevent the tunnel being made use
of for an invasion OF England include
the flooding Of a dip in the tunnel
commanding exits with guns that could
not be silenced from the sea, and an
electric button that might touch OF an
explosion to destroy a part of the tun-
mel IL necessary.

tain OF a British trawIer. who has just
arrived from Iceland. The skipper
said il was absolutely impossible for
any foe to break through "undetect-

the patrol TO the north. II was his own
experience to be halted and searched
and after being released his boat was
followed by two torpedo-boats until it
reached its destination.
The thoroughness of the patrol was
further testified to by another North
Sea skipper. His trawler was lying
along shore, when shortly after mid
night it suddenly found itself hemmed
in by huge black object which prov
ed TO be British cruiser. Its officers
seemed to have had cats eyes. From
the dark a voice demanded to know
the identity of the trawler. 1t was
promptly shouted back.
The name is quite correct, sir
came another mysterious voice astern
of US" said the skipper. "A submarine
had crept up behind US and read our
name. Although all of our crew had
come on deck to see what was happen
ing, not one of them had seen the sub
marine appear. The whole episode
only occupied a few minutes and the
cruiser, after wishing us Good morn

in the darkness"

LABOR EXEMPTED
EVEN IN USE Of
UNLAWFUL MEANS
Senate Further Safeguards
Unions From Prosecution
Under Sherman Anti Trust
Law

Washington, July S.-AThe senate
took step this afternoon in advance
of anything that has been heretofore
attempted in tho way Of exempting
labor unions and farmers orRaniza 50
tons from prosecution under the
Sherman law.
BY vote Of Al TO II. the senate
tabled a motion made by Senator
Sterling. of South Dakota, to strike
from the sunday civil bill the pro-
vision accompanying the appropria-
ton for enforcing the Sherman anti
trust law which provides that no part
of the appropriation shall be used TO
prosecute labor organizations or
farmers associations organized to i'm
prove the condition of the members of
such organizations
But the senate went even further
and, by a vote of IS to %. rejected
an amendment proposed by Senator
Sutherland, OF Utah. to insert the
qualifying words % by unlawful
means
These words had they been adopt
ed, would have prevented the use OF
the appropriation TO prosecute labor
unions or farmers associations for or
ganizine and combining to improve
their condition only when they use
lawful means" The use of unlaw w
ful means would have subjected them
TO prosecutions under the appropria-
zion. The senate, however. went on
record today against using this nppro-
9riation TO prosecute these associa-
tons. no matter if they resort TO IN
lawful means to improve their con-
ditions
The debate was sharp. Senator
Sterling read into the record the gate
ment Of President Wilson at the time
he approved the last sundry civil bill.
in which he explained that he had
signed the bill with reservations az
to the proviso exempting the labor
unions and farmers organizations
The president a that time character
ICED the exemption as 'un1ustifable
in character and in principle" Sem
ator Sterling called special attention
to these words, and declared that the
proviso served no purpose in the bill
but to mislead

by DR.. T. D. Ellis, presiding elder OF
the Americas district, will be held at

ings at that time-at Bethel, in Ter
rall county, at Sumter, in Sumter

dolph county, and at Tyner Springs,
in Clay county. These meetings are
something new, and being quick to
sec the possibilities of great good re.
sulting from them the public at once
became interested and large crowds
are expected to be present at al the
four places.
On Saturday speakers who arc
thoroughly familiar with the subject
will discuss topics concerning the
home, the farm and community life.
At noon there will be an intermission
for dinner will be spread on the
ground and everybody invited to par
take. On Sunday religious services
will be conducted.
