{ HEALTH HINTS
DON'T.

Here are dozen ''dont's" for the
care Of eyes, ears, noses and threats.
Don't subject the eyes to prolonged
reading or close application against
direct brilliant light. The continued
strain weakens the eyes.
Don't try to read in a dim light; 1t
results in fatigue and latter irrita-
bility.
Don't try to rest yourself by read
ing when you are tired. Your eyes
are just as tired as you are.
Don't rely entirely on moral persu'
sion to correct chtld's tendency to
rub his nose against the book he is
reading; first find out why he does 1t.
Don't subject the eyes to contact with
dust. Dust carries germs.
Don't try to remove foreign sub
stances from the eye with unwashed
fingers.
Don't rub eyelids with your hands
because they smart.
Don't wash your face in water just
used By someone else.
Don't use hair pins or pen holders
to remove wax from the ear.
Don't subject the ear to sudden loud
noises at close range.
Don't "sniff" water up into the
nose. 1t is apt to get into the passages
leading to the ears and cause trou-
BILE.
T.. Don't sleep bare headed II you sleep
out doors in cold weather.
Teeth are good index of years
both in horses and men. Diseased
molars mean premature old age.

therefore, our people feel that we de.
serve some recognition at the hands
of the Republican party, especially In
view of the fact that Logan County,
with its recent developments, and al
most inexhaustible resources, is
destined to become, in the near fu-
ture, one of the greatest and wealth
lest counties in the state.
The rapid growth of the Republican
party in this county, by reason OF re-
cent Industrial development, leads us
to the inevitable conclusion that 1t
will be but short time until Logan
county will be numbered as one OF
the leading republican counties OF the
state.

FUNERAL OF LIEUT.. RICHARDS
Tomorrow Afternoon From Naval
Academy Chapel Victim Of Electro
cution to be Buried Here.

The funeral of Lieut.. Clarence Alvin
Richards, u. S. N. whose sudden
death occurred yesterday at Sag Har-
Dor, L. l., will take place here tomor-
row after
The services will be held here ut the
Naval Academy Chapel at 3 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, Chaplain Evans,
officiating.
The remains will be shipped here
from New York tonight.
Lieut.. Richards was graduated from
the Naval Academy in 1904 and was a
classmate of Lieut.. w. F. Halsey, u.
). NJ, who is in charge of thessfuneral.
The sudden oeath of Lieut.. Richards
is peculiarly sad. He was IN charge
of the gunbost Tanning at Sag Har-
Dor. and by some mischan2e touched
electric wires that made a short cir
cult whose voltage electrocuted the
Young naval officer.
Lieut.. Richards was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Andrew A Richards, of
| Oklahoma. Mrs. Richards. who has
been spending the winter in Washing
ton is now patient at Johns Hopkins
Hospiia Baltimore, where an opera
tion has been performed. 1t is feared
the sudden death of her son may have
serious effect upon the invalid mother.
Lieut.. Richards was appointed to
the Navy from Kansas, and was "a
years old. He was in command of the
United States destroyer Tanning, and
was killed by an electric shock in the
station of the Sag Harbor Light and
Power Company. 1t is sa d to be
suicide.
Harry ID. Christian, night Waterman
at the station. said the lieutenant took
hold of two heavily charged wires.
Christian said the lieutenant came
to the power station and said he was a
Government inspector. He pushed
Christian aside and. walking into the
station, deliberately picked up two
wires, receiving the shock which killed
him. Lieut.. Richards is survived by
a widow who was Miss Rose Bradford,
daughter of Admiral Bradford, and
one small child.
At one time Lieut. Richards was in
charge of ships at the Naval Academy,
and lived on the Santee, at the Naval
Academy. He had his quarters there
when the Santee sank in the mud, and
it was great joke at the time that
the old Santee that had never been in
charge of an officer below the rank of
Commander, went down because q
Lieutenant was her official chief.
