Facts About the Eye.

There are any number of different

muscles which must focus the eye upon
the object to be seen. The eyeball must
be turned in the proper direction, so
that the light strikes the pupil properly
and the pupil itself must expand or
contract according to the distance of
the object, in order to see it clearly.

SPRING SHOOTING PROHIBITED

The United States Department of
Agriculture has received inquiries
from many sportsmen in the middle
West in regard to spring shooting of
waterfowl. In response the depart

try to periods not exceeding three and
one-half months. The open season on

September 16 to December 81, inclu-
sive, and it is unlawful to hunt or
kill waterfowl in those states at any
other time. Persons committing vio-
lations of the regulations may be
prosecuted at any time within. three
years after an offense is committed.

WAR HAS SHOWN WASTE
IN DRINK MANUFACTURE

"The war in Europe has brought
many facts to our attention, or has
given us new ways of looking at old
things. One of the most remarkable
developments is the prohibition or
limitation of alcoholic drinks, and the
manufacture of alcoholic beverages"
DR.. M. P. Ravenel of the department
of preventive medicine of the Uni
versity of Missouri declares. mo
doubt much of this came about be-
cause of the recognized ill effects of
alcohol on the soldiers. Another
phase of the question is rapidly fore
ing itself on all the countries at war,
namely, the useless waste of food
stuffs through the manufacture of
these beverages.
"The British Government has is
sued an order reducing the quantity
of beer to 70 per cent of the output
Of last year. In discussing what this
means, the food controller shows that
the production of the preceding year
amounted to rs million barrels, which
required $4,000 tons of barley, &c.
900 tons of sugar, $500 tons of
grits, all of this material being TAX
en- from grains used in the manufac-
ture of breads and porridges. In adj
dition to this, the hauling of the raw
product, and also of the furnished
product, placed a tax on the trans
portation facilities which are now
needed for the hauling of foods and
munitions.
ut will set free for-the use of the
farmer a large amount of material
which can be used for the feeding of
cattle, because when barley is milled
instead of matted, it gives so per
cent of flour which is used for hui
man food, and at least 40 per cent
of the material named 'millers' off
ais, which is used for cattle feed.
"In addition, we should take into
consideration the details of the labor
required in the handling and man
ufacture of this enormous quantity
of material. Applying these figures
to the United States, the u. S. Inter
nal Revenue Office shows that in the
city of New York alone there are APP
proXimately million barrels of beer
made annually, each one containing
81 gallons. This represents the use
Of $4,000 tons of barley, 10000 tons
of sugar and 1900 tons of grits, most
of which is wasted.
will not the time soon come when
the prohibition movement in Amer
lea will be FASTENED to be demanded
for food? The present cost of high
living and the rapidly rising prices in
food stuffs make this a real problem
for us to consider. Are not people
now ready to demand more bread
and less beer'?"

End of Middle Ages.

at is the end of the Middle Ages
in their last place of survival, in the
land that we had deemed hopelessly
darkened by ignorance, fanaticism
and tyranny. 1t is the end of the
Middle Ages and of a government ap-
propriate only to its most terrible
era. The government has been
snatched from hands crimson with
the blood of the nations noblest sons.
"Power has been torn away from
the treacherous ruler who was will
ing to sacrifice a great nations pride
and well-being to preserve his own
dynasty. The tremendous upheaval
not only ends tyranny, but fanati-
cism, race hatred and religious prose-
cution.
The change is magical. 1t is almost
incredible. 1t thrills and moves one
to the depths, when one thinks of the
misery that is thus to be
ended, as it were, with a single stroke
of the pen, when one thinks of the
upon millions of oppressed
and helpless people that are now to
be lifted up into their full stature,
and given the dignity of men, and the
freedom of equal citizens of a great
Commonwealth"

SUITS MAIL ORDER HOUSES

Last weeks issue of the Farming
ton Times had quite an article on the
mail order advertising houses. The
Times said that few days ago, nine
teen big sacks of Sears & Roebuck
catalogues were received at the Farm
ington postofice, and surmises that
there is reason for the state of af-
fairs. We recall that some time ago,
a heavy wagon-load of those cata-.
logues were received at Ironton to be
sent to the west end of Iron county,
and it is not hard to tell why these
mail order houses are doing a thriv-
ing business. We do not know what
proportion of the money of Iron coun-
ty is going to those houses, but our
guess is that the most is going out.
There is a cause. One thing is the
merchants of Iron county are doing
very little advertising, because they
say that at does not pay" This may
be so, but it is certainly "paying" the
mail order houses. The mail order
advertisements are piled up on the
center table in almost every home. A
lady can order anything she wants
without leaving her own fireside. A
lady's new hat can be selected, as al
so could barrel of paint. The mail
order houses had a big meeting a
year or so ago, and one of the repre-
sentatives said that they had received
the local newspapers from every coun-
ty or section of the country, and the
districts where the local papers had
little patronage were worked with the
most gratifying results Arcadia

RUSSIA TO BECOME SECOND
AMERICA, SAYS DIR. HARRISON

Russia will become second Amer
ica," said Rabbi Leon Harrison of St
Louis in a sermon before 1,500 per-
sons at Temple Israel last Sunday
morning.
While Rabbi Harrison was preach
ing on "The Russian Revolution, his
friend, Rev. DR.. C. Biting, pastor of
the Second Baptist Church, was
preaching across the street on the
same subject. Both men, from their
different viewpoints, conceded in
their judgment of the meaning of the
revolution to worldwide democracy.
Rabbi Harrison said, in part:
1.-THE most tremendous and awe-in-
spring event in modern history is
the present revolution in Russia. 1t
is as if the Providence of God were
moving men to vindicate the eternal
justice of His government of the uni
verse. The worst blot upon humani-
TVS escutcheon has been wiped clean.
There has been an abrupt pendulum
swing from tyranny to democracy.
The darkest hour of Russia, palsied
with weakness and incompetence,
poisoned with treachery and disloy-
atty, black with renewed tyranny
and bloody prescription, was just be-
fore the dawn.
ut is indeed as if a judicial blind
ness had descended upon the autoc-
racy. Added to treason were incred-
ible cruelty and bigotry, and an amaz-
ing stupidity that learned nothing and
forgot everything, was pitted against
the unparalleled, efficiency of their
enemies.
Turned Against Russia.
"The rulers of the Russian nation
worked against the victory of their
own nation. They fought against the
elevation of the people, their physi-
cal and mental betterment. They
fought against education, against or
'ganization, against free opportunity,
against liberty of speech and wor-
ship, against everything for which
civilization and progress stand.
Here, on the one hand, was an
imbecile and ferocious survival of
mediaevalism. There, too, was
mighty people potentially the most
tremendous on earth, fettered, blind
ed, imprisoned, tormented, stunted.
1t required but consciousness of it's
own power and adequate preparation
and resolve for this giant empire to
break its bonds like packthreads.
with marvellous suddenness and
peacefulness, the end came-the end
that was beginning, the ringing out
of the old order and the ringing in of
the new. There was no bloody reign
of terror, no frightful civil strife. An
electric spark passed, and a titanic
nation was crystalized into unity, and
awoke to a consciousness of it's own

IRON MOUNTAIN LAKE
TO BE MADE A RESORT

The beautiful Iron Mountain Lake
in st. Francois county, 85 miles from
st. Louis on the Iron Mountain Rail
way, has just been bought by East
ern capitalists, who will convert the
lake property into a high-class re-
sort. The environs of this beautiful
mountain lake afford unlimited OPP
portunity for fishing, boating, bath
ing and duck shooting. A rugged
and indented shore line, broad beeches,
alternating with high rock dam that
confines the limpid blue waters of
this lovely lake; groves of oak and
cedar offering mute invitation to
pitch camp in their fragrant shade,
are some of the features.
A beautiful mountain stream emp
ties into the lake and forms deep
channels of water lanes through the
center, where abound the great fight
ing bass. A vacation of a week or
more at Iron Mountain Lake camps
and inn, enjoying the bracing and
ozone-laden air, living in the open
near to nature, and reveling in out
door sports, is to feel that life holds
pleasures which are within easy
reach of the city outer and sportsman
