chine. Those who know the
present ups and downs of OPTIC
metry laws, can well imagine
the tempests that threatened
this early law-the attacks that
assailed it from without and
within. This "first-born" had to
walk straight, narrow path as
an example; at the same time,
it must avoid the sticks and
stones, the jibes and jeers from
bad boys over in the medical
pasture, if it would aid neigh
boring states to follow Mime
sofas lead. In this crisis, Mr..
Hitchcock was the one type of
man who could successfully weld
discordant elements and hold in

restraint. Optometry was his
hobby and he wanted to see it
become strong and sturdy. Eel
low workers knew this, had con-
fidence in his judgment, his hon
esty, his intelligence, and bark
ened to his advice. For eleven
years he watched and nursed it.
When opposition from without
threatened, no man was quicker
to respond. When all commits
sions of his state were threat
ened, certain inside work and
influence saved optometry. The
word ''optometrist" was sub
mitted for "optician." AS OPP
pcrtunity offered, other needed
changes were made to strength
en- the law and in all such work
Mr.. Hitchcock was at the fore
'front.'
Early Life

history of this seeming

personalities the beautiful
Ramsey State Park, adjoining
his home town, which Hr. Hitch
cock was largely instrumental
in preserving. Here, to the CEN

doubtless there are a number of
men who have had as much or
more to do with the immediate
placing of the law upon the stat
ute books, than has the subject
Of this sketch. Mr.. Hitchcock,
himself, is first to insist that
this is so and mentions names
of Smell, Upham, Heitzman,
Granger, Hoffman, Sweningson,
Willard and others. To Messrs.
Smell and Upham, through their
personal and political work in
Minneapolis and St. Paul, he
gave a large measure Of credit.
Indeed, he is of that modest,
generous nature that would lead
a stranger to believe he had but
little to do in this campaign.
Critical Period

that tell of the patience and tact,
that reveal the guiding hand and
watchful eye and alert mind

ham had the temerity to men
ton the fact that Minnesota was
going to ask for an optometry
law, "A. j." pooh-poohed the
idea that any state could get
such a law until after New York
got hers. It was eight years la
ter before the practice of OPTIC
metry was legalized in the State
of New York, during which in
terval, twelve Western states
had placed optometry laws on
their statute books.
However, this is not the his
tory Of optometry laws, but the
story Of a pioneer in optometry.
So far as the enactment of this
first optometry law is concerned,

ter of this picturesque tract,
formed by the early waters of
the Redwood and Ramsey Riv-
ers at their junction with the
more pretentious Minnesota, H.
M. Hitchcock came as a boy of
six. Three years before, here
occurred the greatest Indian
massacre in the history of Amer
lea, more settlers being killed
in this Sioux uprising in 1862,
than in any other before or af-
ter. One is shown the site of
an old log church where one hun
dred and twenty settlers gath
cred for worship the Sabbath
before the uprising. On the Mon
day following but fourteen of
the one hundred and twenty
were alive.
Elsewhere, in these pages, is
shown the first cabin built in
Southwestern Minnesota after
this massacre, in which the
Hitchcocks lived with three 9TH
er families. The "'lean-to's" are
not now standing, but the main
part, then occupied by Major
McPhail, is in a wonderful state
of preservation, still. The cabin
was then surrounded by stout
stnckade which has also been
removed.
Writing of this beautiful and
picturesque Ramsey Park, Bess
M. Wilson, says in "The Min
nesotan:"
Because, half a century ago,
one man had a deep-seated love
for the great big out-of-doors,
and because, deep in his soul, he
held visions of those who fol-
lowed after him having the
same love, Minnesota today has

"Dr. J. G.. Riheldaffer, a Pres->
byterian minister in Redwood
Falls, which was at that time
only a small village, then owned
the tract of land which was pur-
chased by the legislature in 1911
and designated as the Alexan-
der Ramsey Park. DR.. Rihel-
daffer held the tract of wooded
hills and ripping waters sacred
to the future. He saw in the
years ahead a time when the
state should realize its need of
this wealth of beauty, and
against the coming Of that time,
he protected the tract from rude
invasion by woodcutter, pas
tured animals or vandalizing
Following the inspiration of
DR.. Rihe.daffer, men of Redwood
Falls set themselves about con-
vincing the state lawmakers
that these beauties should be
preserved. H. M. Hitchcock, who
had followed the CLEAN with DR..

inal promoters, working earnest
ly to get the question of such
state park properly presented
before the legislature"

AS a nucleus for this story
we have a man-Hiram Melville
Hitchcock; a hobby, optometry !;
and an idea like unto ideas which
come to every mind that dwells
on the better, higher and mob
Ter things Of life. The specific
idea that relates to the story
came to young Hiram Hitchcock,
back in the eighties when he
was selling "specs" over the
counter of his fathers drug
store in a little Western town
on the eastern slope of the then
great desert-now. the thriving
and prosperous city of Redwood
Fails, MINI. The elder Hitch
cock was a Minnesota pioneer,
whose father and fathers faith
er had pioneered before, an old
time physician Of the days
when "the DOCTOR was an Or
acle and friend, an adviser as
to temporal, spiritul and physi-
cal needs. In this life that made
men big of heart and soul, with
such paternal influences and
surroundings, young Hitchcock
developed a broad sympathy for
dads people," eventually to be
his own, and his generous mind
dwelt more upon their needs
and comforts than upon his own.
Always A Student
There the thought came as he
sold Kings Silver Bridge Spec
tacles across the counter, by the
'"try-on," guess work" system
then in vogue, that there ought
to be some more accurate and
systematic method of selecting
lenses for this important organ,
and that it was just as wrong
to allow people to make ignor-
ant selection of these glasses as
it would be to turn them loose
among the drugs of his fathers
store. Associated with this idea
of restraint, which doubtless
came from his knowledge Of le-
gal requirements then necessary
to practice pharmacy. came the
query as to where a knowledge |
of. the eye and it's mechanical
requirements could be acquired.
Through later inquiry he learned
that school to teach such work
had been established recently in
Chicago, and Mr.. Hitchcock was
soon delving in the study of op-
tometry at Martins old Chica-
go Ophthalmic College. AS III.
NJ" puts it: 81 commenced my
studies in optometry at Chica-
go thirty years ago and have
been student ever since"
Optometry laws had been
thought of and talked of and
much pioneer work done toward
securing them, before Minneso-
ia enacted her law in 1901. New
York had drafted a hW the year
before. California, the second
state to pass law, had also
done much preliminary work.
The writer was interested in the
subject in Indiana as early as
1900. The enactment of the
first law in Minnesota was SIM

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES P0IS0NS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In it,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial nd
die, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to prevent
its sponge like pores from clogging
with indigestible material, sour bile and
poisonous toxins, says a noted physi-
clan.
If you get headaches, It's your liver.
If you catch cold easily it's your liver.
If you wake up with bad taste. fur
red tongue, nasty breath or stomach
becomes rancid, it's your liver. Sal
low skin, muddy complexion, watery
eyes all denote liver uncleanliness.
Your liver is the most important, also
the most abused and neglected organ of
the body Few know it's function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks re-
sort to violent calomel. which is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also at
taclls the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or we'll
should drink each morning before
breakfast. a glass Of hot water with a
teaspoonfulGUf limestone phosphate in
it, to wash from the liver and bowels
the previous days indigestible mater
ial, the poisons, sour bile and toxins
thus cleansing. sweetening and fresh
ening the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the
stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not restrict
the diet like calomel. because it can
not salivate, for it is harmless and you
can eat anything afterwards. IT is in
expensive and almost tasteless, and any
pharmacist will sell you quarter
pound, which is sufficient for a dem
onstration of how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver, keeping you feeling
fit day in and day out. adv
