An Everyday Enchantment.
When looked at a friend in the mirror
one day I was struck by the difference in
the mirrored image and the real face.
You don't look at all the same in the
mirror as you really do exclaimed.
You look much better in reality
In return she examined my mirrored
face. why, you're different, too.'' she
said.
Since then I've looked at many people
in many mirrors and find that the same
is true in practically every case.
The majority look much better in real
ity. A few look less attractive. and many
simply look different. 1 suppose this is
seems to be true Of all Of them.
And even If we could each have a per-

face we turn to- our friends. We would

SORE EYES AND FACE POWDER

Face powder has its dangers the
same as gunpowder. For several
years occasional cases have come un-
der the observation Of oculists in which
the patients. invariably women. COM
plain of vision being blurred, inability
to use the eyes for any length of time
and severe itching of the lids. The
slightest rubbing of the lids produces
a marked redness of the eyes and only
aggravates the itching. In severe
cases the lids are frequently swollen
from constant rubbing. There il a
sticky, elastic secretion which. when
being removed, pulls out in long
strings. Microscopic examination of
the secretion reveals masses Of what
appear to be crystals. Until recently
no satisfactory explanation of the pres
ence of these crystals in the eye has
been given. Secretions taken from the
eyes of two sisters suffering from this
peculiar complaint were submitted to
! the professor of pathology of one Of
the university medical schools, who
found that the crystals came from rice
face powder. Seven other patients
in which the same symptoms and mi
croscopic conditions were found all
used the same make of face powder.
When the powder is applied to the face
with a puff a portion of the fine dust
is driven upward and lodges on the
moist eyeball. The rice powder in the
presence of the tears then becomes
mucilaginous in character and is not
washed from under the eyelids. The
powder produces the irritation, which
is aggravated by rubbing. Those who
use a chamois-skin in applying the
powder are less liable to cause the fine
dust to arise, which probably accounts
for the condition not being found in
every woman using face powder. The
condition is quickly relieved by flush
ing the eye with boric acid solution.
The irritation rapidly disappears when
the eyes are kept washed out with a
soothing eye-wash.

National Preparedness

The evidence is strong that the peo- pie who would dig into conditions sur rounding the lack of national prepar- edness are losing ground. President Wilson and the "War Ministers" of the Cabinet promptly discouraged a Congressional investigation, and for mer President Taft came to the sup port of the administration in saying that such investigations are useless. The result of the agitation indicates that the numerous investigations which have heretofore been had along these lines produced more information than the country is willing to use Uncle Sam apparently has lot of cards up his sleeve which he could use in the war game if it really be- came necessary.

ID MN. FOR LUNCH"
 BY ARTHUR 3. BAKER

Who makes the railroad sandwiches? :? Go capture me that guy, and let him write his farewell speech and get prepared to die. He sells his fellow citizen an armor-plated bun capacitat- ed to resist a six-inch naval gun; the the ham he puts inside of it is tough as hick-ry bark, in value scarcely equaling tinlAr's warm remark.
 Your lovely disposition is a smash ed and riven wreck from pushing sucn refreshments down the throttle ot your neck His souls devoid of sym pathy, of pity and of truth, and thus he plans to smash your jaw or dislo- cate your tooth. His provender Is favored like a bale of ancient hay the cook prepared it in his youth, but now his hair is gray.
 And do the railroads operate ir long-deserted lands, and run their trains through grave-yards in Chal- dea's ancient sands? Indeed they don't; the landscape as it swiftly hus- ties by is full of smiling chickens and of homemade apple pie; the honey snuggles in the comb, the ear is on the corn, the bloom is on the dairy maid who carols through the morn.
 The currant jelly's on the bush, the peaches on the trees, the cellars full of plum preserves, of butter, eggs and cheese. But still the railroad luncheon man at junction point or town sells missiles which, thrown hastily, would knock zebra down. He ought to be locked up alone upon the pantry shelf, and there compelled to starve to death or eat the things himself.

GOOD JOB
 FOR OUR CORONERS
By Arthur Brooks Baker

This dinky little earthlet is a rather crowded place, quite filled to over flowing with the well known human race. And some folks neither useful, ornamental nor sublime are likely to forget the rules and overstay their time. They yield no new ideas, nei- ther bud nor fruit nor bloom, but sim ply hang around and take up valuable room.
 Not all are old or middle-aged and lots of them are young and some Of course are safely caged and some will soon be hung. The thought which comes rejoicing to my palpitating knob proposes for the coroner a use ful public job. At present, in a case of death from accident or row, he queries all the what's and whens, inspects the why and how.
 And this, respectful reader, is my contemplating thought-if coroners ask why folks die, why cant they ask W II 4NO AAO Lllcli W llO OCOl hO tO welcome new ideas in his head, to all intents and purposes is practically dead. Why not instruct the coroner to make such folks behave, and when they show up on the street, escort them to the grave?
 So when a human drone insists on sticking round the hive, the coroner will say to him: Great Scott! YOU still alive?" And if he should persist at his encumbering the map let legal steps be taken to inter the useless yap. Be this our boast, applau1ed with hosanna and hooray: "There's room for none but live ones in the good old U. s. A

The Literacy Test

The Washington government realizes that now more than ever that there should be intelligent legislation in reference to immigration. President Wilson reiterates the contentious of President Taft, who vetoed an immi- grafton bill just before the close of his term, that the literacy test is fair neither to the immigrant not to the country. While the United States has held open it's doors to desirable immi- grants, yet there has been a strong sentiment that more restrictive meth ods should be adopted. Evidently President Wilson and his predecessor believe that all other conditions be- ing favorable, it is time enough for immigrants to learn to read and write the English language after entering upon their residence in this country.

The Postoffice Surplus

IHS FOSIOIIlCS OuTPiuS
 Former Postmaster General Hitch cock claimed to have achieved a sur plus in the Post Office Department, but no sooner did he lose himself in the mining regions of Arizona than his successor, General Burleson, challen- ged the statement, and claimed that there had been a deficit of nearly a million dollars. Now the Postmaster General asserts that he has real sur plus of receipts of $3,500,000 or more, over operating expenses. Perhaps it serves MT. Burleson right to have the critics refuse to admit his claim. They declare that if all the general expenses were paid from postal re- ceipts, and not from the Treasury di- rect, that the surplus would vanish into thin air. Postmaster Generals have been juggling with the puzzles of surplus and deficits for years, principally because there has never been an intelligent accounting in the Post Office Department. They do not know, and neither does anyone else know, the true state of Post Office finances. Millions of dollars worth of public property and buildings owned and occupied by the government ap- pear to obscure the power of the De- partment to arrive at a true balance.
