Why Gas is Best
For the Eyes

People whohave used various kinds Of modern light
ing realize that gas is the most rcsul 10 he eyes, but lew
understand why this is so
The reason is really very simple. When the source
Of light is from point lines the retna Of the eye cam
not adapt itself and becomes strained whereas there is
no strain when the source Of light is surface The dit
ference in the effect produced by these light sources is
similar to the difference in the effect produced by looking
at flash Of lightning and the moon
The source Of light from gas is surface there is
line or point to dazzle the eyes One gaze at any
modern gas light for several minutes and upon turning
away the eyes are not dazzed, frequently the case
when the experiment is with other forms Of lighting
1t is small wonder that writer's Students artists and
others whose work calls for strain upon the eyes prefer
gas light to any other illumination
The c. E. z light is the latest invention Of the
Wesbach Company.

 Expert jewellers and artists there. fore have agreed to give their services now in appraising all donations. Such as are selected as of particular value from the artistic point of view will not be melted but will be offered to museums or collectors at prices cor responding to their appraised values.

JEWS PLENTIFUL IN BRITISH
 ARMY

LONDON, July 8.-Between 1000 and 5000 of the Jews serving with the British colors have registered their names at the Jewish chaplains department in London. and perhaps as many more have enlisted who have failed to register. The Jewish roll of honor from the list of British slain is published weekly in the Jewish Chronicle and Jewish recruiting committee brings in from 30 to 60 fresh enlistments a week.
 Even the Jewish ministry has also been organized for the war. contribut- ing about a dozen chaplains to attend to Jewish volunteers. The senior chaplain, the Rev. Michael Adler, is now in France. but the machine he created Is running smoothly. His assistant, s. Lipson, is now in charge.
 The United Kingdom, he says, has been mapped Into areas. which have been placed under nine Jewish assist. ant chaplains appointed by the war office. The function of these char lalns Is to get into touch with their co-religionists in the ranks, arrang- ing services for them and look after their welfare generally. They also visit the Jewish wounded in the hos pitfalls.
 The young Jews are enthusiastic soldiers according to Chaplain Lipson who tells of one who quit his job in Brazil and travelled to London to enlist.

C0RD0vA STORES r ORM NEW
 COMPANY

The news made public today that Cordova's two big stores, s. Blum & Co.,. and O'Nein & Slater Company had combined means a good deal for the town In the line of increased ser vice and lower prices. The new con cern will be known as the Blum, O'Neill Co.,. and Harry O'Neill will act as manager. The joinder of the two stores will allow the management to effect greater economies in purchas- ing. and in operation. and 1t is the intention of the company to allow the buying public of the Copper River Valley to share in these economies by reducing the price of commodities whenever possible. Both of these stores have been credit to the com munity, and both have been models of we'll conducted establishments. Under the new arrangements, when the plans for reorganization have all been put into effect the Blum, O'NeilI Co, will more than ever earn the confidence and respect of the people of this sec. tion of Alaska, as far as service quality of goods and prices are con cerned.

VESSELS INCREASE IN NUMBER

PANAMA, July S.-Since the open. ing of the Panama Canal it has been noticed by shipping agents in Panama City that the number of sailing ships to appear on the seas has rapidly in- creased. All of these have at one time or another passed through the waterway.
 Shipping authorities attribute the increase in sail tonnage to the high freights due to the European War with the consequent lack of steam bot toms of neutral countries. It is stated that most of these sailing ships are of American register. They are en- ployed in carrying wheat and other grains from United States Pacific ports to England and case oils from the United States ports to the Far East.

VIEW OF Y
 WESTWARD SITUATION

Captain E. T Mcintyre. we'll known in the Nome district passed through Cordova this morning on his way from Cook Inlet. Mir. Mcintyre expressed himself in a pessimistic vein about the new town of Anchorage. He has been working on the Heron dredge at Sunrise. and claimed that the ground was full of big boulders and that the dredge was far from being a success. As to Anchorage, MT. Me lntyre said that everybody was tre- mendously dissatisfied with the actions of the government officials in charge of the road and the townsite. According to the captain, 97 per cent of the employees were foreigners, who would spend no money in the country, and as the government intended to open a commissary department, these employees would buy what supplies they needed from the government and the business men would find 1t rough sailing. MT. Mcintyre said that the men had not been paid up to the time he left there, July 6, for the previous month, and on the whole he felt that the chief characteristic of the new camp was the universal criticism of the officials and the absolute inability and helplessness of the people to secure change for the better.

Of Interest to Contestants

Whether the ladies' who are in
the contest to represent the
county at the exposition realize
it or not the merchants who give
votes will be a considerable fac
tor in deciding the contest. 1t
is, therefore, to the best interest
of those in the running to secure
the good will and cooperation Of
the merchants. This can best
be done by soliciting your friends
to trade with the merchants
giving coupons. 1t is not a good
idea to stay too close around
these stores in soliciting votes,
for numbers of persons who go
there to trade are under obliga-
ton to some one of the con-
testants and are unwilling to let
others know who they are giving
their votes to, and it is not fair
to spy them out. You would not
be willing to have your friends
kept under espionage.
