THE EYE
IN RELATION
TO HEALTH

While the immense majority of man.
kind have eyes that to all appearance
are perfectly balanced more than 80
per cent have a natural tendency to
deViate. This tendency is overcome
by the constant straint exerted b. the
nerves of the eyes in compelling the
muscles of the eye To overcome de-
hciencies. We End that thousands
OF people who have suffered for years
with nervousness, headaches and 9th
er diseases find from careful cyamina-
ton of their eyes that their sickness,
discomfort and misery comes wholly
from some hidden defect of the eve or
to an insufficiency OF one or more ocu-
lar muscles; these defects and insult
can be detected only by n
thorough and painstaking examination
by one who has the skill and ability
as well as the experience TO detect
and correct these defects.

laws or anything else. Britain has
 seized our ships. even when bound to neutral ports, sometimes detaining them for weeks and months to the detriment and loss of their owners and
 has at all times, since the promulgation of the famous "order In council" con aemned any portion of a cargo which
 might be construed as of possible use
 to her enemies regardless of proof that it was intended for enemy use or not. True enough Britain has paid for such seizures but, be 1t remembered, that does not in the least absolve her from the charge of proceeding in the face of the rules of the international law about which the United States raises such a vast deal of bother where Ger many is the offending party. In no case where Britain has overtsepped the recognized bounds, has more than a most feeble protest been forthcoming from this government and a reply of any character whatever has been am ply sufficient to stop further barley. All this is all right if We are content to accept it as satisfactory but the main point is that the conduct of Bri- tain is absolutely in defiance of the forms to which we profess such inordi- nate attachment where others are concerned.

WHEN THE WORKERS QUIT.
(Saturday Evening Post.)

To the number of men under arms add those engaged in making war munitions except food and clothing though a great deal of war clothing is wasteful in that 1t Is used up far fast CT than if the wearers were in civil occupation.
 Economically considered, all these men are idle. 1or they are producing no wealth. For Great Britain their II umber has been calculated at some- thing like half the total working pop ulation. The proportion Is probably about the same for the other belli- eerents, except Russia, where it is someWE lat lower.
 Suppose something like half the gain fully employed population of the Uni ted States struck work, sat down and twiddled their thumbs for two or three years, being supported in idleness by the government during that period.

 of pensioners and our problem would
 be to offset the drain as much as
 possible by levying on labor that is
 not normally employed productively- the surplus of labor of women, children, the aged and the halt-and by econo- mixing in all possible ways.

Gify uifieiaI Paper
NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 3, 1915.

The seizure Of two more American steamships by British war vessels on the pretext that they were violating some provision of Britain's innumerable | and arbitrary sea laws brings to mind that the administration continues to :, display but little inclination to call for an accounting for the numberless sea hold ups of like character occur rlng during the war period In sharp contrast with the attitude of the gov ernment toward Germany, the British are allowed to do about as they please with the sea commerce of the nation and beyond a few feeble protests there is nothing done. Times without num- Der British warships have seized ves- sels of the American merchant fleet, bound upon peaceful journeys to neu- tral ports, compelling them to enter British ports for search or long deten- ton and all this on the pretet that such action Is vital to her national interests. This may be all very well as far as Britain is concerned but it would seem that respecting such ac- tion America has a duty to perform unless we are content to have ourselves convicted of grave inconsistency in dealing with the belligerents. Toward played most uncompromising sever ity whenever that nation has deviated in the least degree from the accepted tenets of international law and she has been sharply called to account for every infraction of traditional princi- pie regardless of the exingencies of the occasion All this has been done under the excuse that Germany was violating some principle of recognized law or custom. Did Germany deviate but fraction from the accepted code of things and an international crisis" immediately arose accompanied by fearful hullabaloo on the part of press and public and the sages of Washington shook their heads and hoped for the best while prohssing to see great danger ahead True 1t Is that Germany has been guilty of grave and repre- sensible errors viewed from the stand
 points of either international or moral rules but this has but little to do with 1 the proposition of why Britain is all | lowed to do as she pleases and Ger many is not. The main point in the matter is that Germany Is damned and condemned for violations of the prin- ciples of international law. This con- tention has been the key note of every American protest delivered to the Der lin government.
 America has insisted that Germany should not do so and so because such action was In defiance of the custom of nations and was not upheld by traditional principles, but at the same time Britain Is permitted to seize the carg6es of merchant ships in defiance of those very principles for violations of which Germany Is held to such un- compromising accounting. We have, it is true, protested concerning such actions but have been apparently con- tent to receive some plea of necessity as an entirely satisfactory excuse, re- gardlsss of moral rights. international

ALASKA A FARMING COUNTRY.
Exchange.)

The United States department of
 agriculture has recently furnished a
 statement for intending settlers in AL
 aska showing the crop values produc- ed by Alaska farmers in the district about Fairbanks, and these are of such
 character as to quiet any doubt as to i the practicability of farming in the
 valleys of the great territory. The i Fairbanks district Is pretty well north.
 and less likely to carry on general farming operations profitably than some of the valleys farther south. Yet forty-fi five farmers of that district last season produced crop yields to the value of $500 per acre. These con- prised winter wheat, barley, oats and hay. with large yields of potatoes, ruta- bagas and turnips, cabbage and the ordinary field vegetables. Stock raisers have also recently made a profitable showing through their herds of cattle. While the large returns reported from the Fairbanks district place it in the area of profitable farming, the show ing is also evidence for settlers who are going, or preparing to go, into the district trayersed by the govern ment railway from Seward to Fair banks. There are thousands of acres of land in these valleys, capable of pro- ducing profitable crops, and contribut- ing to the prosperity of large agricu1- tural population. on the showing made, 1t Is evident that Alaska will ultimately add to its rich mineral pro duction the substantial and dependa- ble asset of annual dividends from the farm.
