Keeping Young

To keep one's faculties bright and alert is to remain young. To maintain a youthful, buoyant spirit is another foe to age-but who can be at his best with bad vision?
 Most of lifes interest centers in the eyes-most pleasures come from using the sight.
 Dimness of vision means clouding comes on quickly, then. Enthusias sm, optimism and all the youthful qualities that accomplish things, fly before the chilling influence of indistinct vision.
 Keep your eyesight unspoilt and of the one most certain to contribute to your happiness and success.
 If you need glasses--wear them. course it is ossible for a person in need of glasses to rub along" for awhile without them. But what Is the result? Apart from the discomfort entailed, and the probability of the trouble increasing at much more rapid rate, injury to the nervous system and frequent attacks of headache result.
 So again we say: If you need glasses wear them They represent one of the surest means of keeping off the ad- vances of old age-they keep people young.
 Our optical department renders the highest order of service-provides you with correct glasses at the correct price.

How "Crack" Troops Are Used

From the Worlds Work.
 During the first part of the war caref watch was kept by the French geneI staff over the way every regiment al division acted. In the acid test of battl this division proved its ability to advanI under fire, that regiment failed. Gradual the crack organizations were know These picked men are quartered about or 30 miles behind the lines, and they lii like athletes training for a prize-figh They have great athletic fields, whe they play football and practice f1e sports. Theatres and music are provid for their amusement. While things al quiet at the front they are kept in perfect physical and mental condition art and science can devise. Then, whl the commanders at the front need men fl a charge against German trenches aero the shell-swept fields, word Is sent bad for these special troops. The needed nun Der are told off, they are loaded in automobiles, carried swiftly to the froI singing and eager; they make thd charge; trench troops move up and occ py the ground they have gained and u attackers-such as aIs left of them-I back to their football and training, to g ready to go to the next point in the lii that needs them.

Official Fly Catcher

From the Popular Science Monthly
 When A. E. Chapman, an inventor, offered his first patent fiy-trap for sale In Redlands, Cal, he didn't have the least idea that he was taking the first step in creating new city office, the only one of the kind in the entire country
 With the invention of his new death trap for flies came the new official position of city fly catcher. Chapman, the inventor, was appointed at a salary of $10 week. the office being in exist ence nine months each year. Chapman began work by placing scores of traps at street intersections, around restau- rants, and in the rear of livery stables
 The bait placed in the traps was fresh canned fruit, syrup, sugared water. sprinkled with cinnamon, watermelon or fresh meats. The flies crowded into the cages-and to their deaths.
 The carcasses of the flies are removed each morning by the official fly catcher. He decided that he would estimte their number by enumeratfng them in units of liuquid meaure. During the first year between 240 and 245 gallons were gathered, on the basis of 50.000 to 75,000 carcasses to the gallon. Taking an aver age of 6O,000 to the gallon. between IA, 100000 and 14.700.000 were coaxed to their deaths in a year.

 Tt seems to me- says MT. Schwa that of all the men of fame and achiev ment l have known. he is the most wo derful. His life is full of inspiration al help for every person interested in ma ing the most of himself.
 Uncle John has the only real ed cation, which is education He h learned that money for moneys sal is foolish goal to strive for. So, little shop, he has been satisfied wi nothing but the best work. Perfectio without regard to cost and without r gard to the labor involved, has bel his aim. I have known him at tim to get so interested in the struggle f perfection that he would turn out { instrument which in the making co several times its selling cost. But u results were that he attained hapr ness and gave the world the fulle possible benefit of his extraoordina, scientific knowledge and skill. And that not, after all, the best use a, m; can make of great talents?

 In another, entitled Even the Meek est will Lose His Temper" Uncle Sam is seen pounding with mallet Gapanese exclusion) the stone face of Bhudda (Japan). The idol finally loses patience, the features resolving themselves into mailed fists, and the mallet wielder is shown tumbling to his doom. In third America Is represented as a careless pugi- list caught on the nose by the rebound of punching bag labeled Japan"

Hearing Your Men at Work

From the Popular science Monthly.
 The manager of machine shop or factory can know how much work is being done at benches by mechanics or by power driven machines or tools by means of microphones or telephone transmitters connected with the work ing apparatus By becoming familiar with the vibrations of the different machines he can tell at any given mo- ment just how fast Pat is working the lathe or how industriously Mike is op- erating the milling machine on one of his blue Mondays. In addition to this he can tell at a simple turn of the switch if the machines are running at normal speed and smoothly and prop erly as they should.

Cooperation in
Work Of Charity
Most Successful
Manager OF Associated Chair
ties Tells of Results Obtain
ed in Striking Example

E. E. Brooks, manager Of the Assoc
ciated Charities, delights In telling
of incidents that illustrate how well
the different social agencies in the
city work together. Yesterday he
had new story.
"A Portuguese plantation hand
came here from Kauai with a sick
wife and four small children last
week." he said The woman was
committed to the insane asylum and
he was stranded here with the chill
-dren. Those people heed their emo
tons first, you know. His wife was
sick and he was told she must go TO
Honolulu He had steady work, but
he had no thought other than to come
here with his wife. 1t was unfortun-
ate, but here ne was and someone
had to take care OF him.
He went first to the Portuguese
consul. From there he was referred
to the immigration station and then
to US. A few hours after we heard OF
the case we had guaranteed the room
rent of the family and looked after
their food supply II We had waited
a few hours they would have been on
the street
Then the worker to whom the case
had been assigned went to the Sal
walton Army home and arranged with
the superintendent for the care of the
youngest three children. Next she Sc,
cured the aid Of the inspector of inn
migration, who promised to keep the
father and 10-year-old son until work
could be secured for them. He is
trying to place them on an Oahu PLAN
tation now, SO they can be near the
wife and mother of the family. II
he can't find work here for them he
will try and secure the fathers job
In Kauai for him again.
In the meantime the Salvation
Army Is keeping three children, but
as soon as is possible the youngest,
months old, will have to be placed
elsewhere, as the home has no accom-
modations for babies. The father
says he will pay for the keep of all
OF them so soon as he gets work. We
are paying the nome for the children's
keep now"
Brooks points to this case to illus
trate the many agencies that are
working together-in this instance
the immigration station, the Poftu-
guese consul tthe case has been re-
ferred to him TO advice several times),
the insane asylum, the Salvation
Army and the Associated Charities.
