FLORA BELLA

Read what the Peoria, ILL.,, journal
has to say Of the spectacular attraction
which is coming to the Turner Theatre
next Sunday, November, Is:
That it is not safe for even the most
beautiful young wives to be too virtuous
unless they would bore their husbands
to death and drive them to the arms
of Jess proper damsels,s is the saucy
lesson taught by Flora Bella, the well
spiced operetta whose first performance
delighted an audience by no means
as large as it deserved last night at the
Majestic theatre.
Rewritten by Como Hamilton from
the French of Felix Doerman, Flora
Bella relates the story of young and
fascinating cabaret singer, who having
renounced that precarious profession,
is welded by Prince Nicholas Demidoff
The fair bride fearing the disap-
prevail of her august spouse conceals
from him the cabaret episode in Ter
life and in order to live up to what
she supposes is his ideal of wifely per-
lection escheWs the pamesomeness which
made her the idol of the carabet and
becomes veritable little Quakeress.
But the prince being only human
is sadly bored by his prim wife and
when Mania finds he is beginning to
turn covetous eyes on ivelier ladies
she runs away and returns to the
gay life. q
In the cafe of the Golden Calf Nj
cholas finds her again but is told that
she is not his wife but the twin sister.
When she has brought him to her
feet by her blithsome arts naughty
Mania owns up that she is Madame
la Princesse at last and all ends hap
PLY with the Prince once more an
enamored and contented husband.
One of the remarkable features of
the production is the performance of
Miss Rhoda Nickells in the role of
Mania. Miss Nickells' beautiful voice
a soprano of rare quality and SPLEEN
did cultivation, moved last nights au-
dience to delighted applause and her
singing was generally conceded to be
the best heard in the light opera for
many years.
Russell Lennon is spirited and
graceful Prince Nicholas and Ger
trude Selden, a young girl of striking
beauty, is winsOme young countess
with whom the young prince philan-
ders at time when he is finding his
wife too straight laced to be amusing.
Some remarkably fine dancing is
done by Miss Komslosy and Mr.. Buch-
anan, and there is the best singing
chorus we have been vouchsafed in
many a. day. Altogether Flora Bella
is real operetta with music in it and
sung by real singers. Adv.

SECOND REGIMEN
FAST FILLING UP
THREE THOUSAND TROOPS NOW
IN UNIT COMMANDED BY
MoLLISON.
AUGUST MARscfINER's NAME
MENTIONED AS POSSIBLE
CAPTAIN 3.

News from Camp Cody is to the
effect that the 13Sth infantr y the
old Second Minnesota regim mt, M. N. G..
leads all other regiments in the purchase
of Liberty Bonds during the recent
campaign. They were in the lead,
as mentioned in last week's Review,
and kept it up until the end, winning
over all other regiments in the camp.
Aletter received from Sergeant Haydn
Hofneister of the Headquarters company
says their regiment now has more than
5000 men, and is going to be filled up
at once. On October Is some 5000
men were transferred from the other regi-
ments to the 136th. These men were from
South Dakota and Colorado.
It is rumored that Lieut.. August
Marschner, former New Ulm resident
lis to be promoted to be captain Of the
Headquarters company of the 136th.
He is now LIST lieutenant Of the Machine
Gun company.
About the only thing the soldiers
from this part of the country have to
find fault with at Camp Cody is the
frequent prevalence Of the sand storms
which boys say are more than 100
percent worse than any snow storm
they ever saw in good old Minnesota. =
They also criticise the hoggish treatment
afforded by the business men of Deming,
The Review has received a copy 0
the Reveille, the weekly newspaper
published and edited by the boys in
camp.
Rental Robbery Scored.
The Reveille complains of the robbery
system practiced by the landlords of
Deming, N. M. upon the officers who
wish to bring their families to that city
to rema n while their regiment is stationed
at Camp Cody. The. paper says the
property owners are sharpening their
axes to kill the goose that lays the golden
egg. A movement has been started
to gain permission to erect temporary
homes for the officers families on
land adjoining Camp Cody and OUT
side the city of Deming. If this is granted
says the editor, the officers will be
independent of the rental robbers Of
Deming. Tabulated information is being
compiled of all kinds of overcharges
by the business men of Deming, with
a view to issuing orders forbidding
soldiers visiting that city.
Pledge is Broken. 81
The following pledge was given to
the government when the Chamber
of Commerce and business men of
Deming were bidding for the location
of the camp at that place:
Suitable residences for the use of
officers will be supplied as needed at
reasonable rental. We guarantee that
prices Of commodities, rents and other
necessities will not be raised by the
Deming people on account Of the pre-
sence Of the military

HOW AND WHY DETECTIVE
EYES CAUSE POOR HEALTH
By DR.. JOHN J. MUNDoRFF.
Specialist at American Optical Company Gives His Story for
Publication After Having Had 80 Years Experience as an
Optician With Medical Education

IS 10 for an image on the retina.
A defective eye Is compelled TO over
exert itself in proportion TO the de-
ficiency of curvature or direct in the
formation of the eye. The muscles OF
the eye are forced 70 adjust the crys'
talIine lens and create the curvature
in the crystalline lens that is defl'
cient
One may see perfectly and still the
eyes be very detective. Any defect Is
overcome BY a strained effort and me-
chanical adjustment Of the muscles OF
the eye. A defective eye, in the con
slant effort to create the curvature
necessaryto collect the rays OF light,
tastes the nervous energy that should
go to nourish and sustain other parts
Of the body; that is to say, the energy
that should go to nourish and sustain
other parts of the body is wasted in
an effort to see, causing sick head
ache, neuralgia, stomach complaints,
etc.
Result Of Eye Strain
The brain is the seat of nervous
energy. We generate nerve force from
the food we eat. The energy is stored
in the brain. The brain supplies to
all parts of the body the energy neces-
sary to perform the duties that nature
demands. Normal eyes use ten per
cent Of the nervous. energy generated
+ by the body. Defective eyes use from
fifteen per cent to sixty-five per cent,
thus wasting from five to fifty-five per
cent of the entire nerve force general
ed. AS a result of this waste of energy
in the constant effort to overcome the
defect, some other organs or part of
the body must suffer.
The eyes use the ten per cent Of
nerve force allotted to them; then, in
an effort to overcome their defect. they
draw from the reserve supply of ners
vous energy stored in the brain, using
and exhausting the nerve supply.
Therefore, there is no sufficient
energy left to the brain to supply all
of the organs of the body and sustain
the nervous system, resulting in ner'
vousness, nervous hysteria, and in ex.
treme cases, epilepsy and insanity.
Will the use Of glasses cure nervous
disorders? No. But properly.fitted
glasses correct the defect in the eyes,
allowing the muscles to relax and re-
adjust themselves to a normal state,
thereby relieving the strain, stopping
the waste of nervous force, creating a
reserve supply of energy, thus enabling
the brain to send the necessary nerve
force throughout the body to sustain
the nervous system. The waste Of
energy is stopped. Therefore the ner-
yous system will be properly sustained.
What Eye Strain Causes
The eyes being defective, the mus
cIes of the eye are strained in an
effort to create the curvature neces-
sary to collect the, rays of light and
bring them to a point on the retina.
AS result of this constant strain
there is an irritation. This irritation
produces an inflammation which

German Cleared of Suspicion;

sponsible for the circumstances which

the lengthy hearing yesterday after
noon which brought forth another re-

quest and is assisted by A. Nj. Cristy,
deputy county attorney.
Attorney E. A. Mott-Smith appeared
at the inquest yesterday afternoon and
took extensive notes on the testimony.
He represents the Berg family.
Denies Knowing Nurse
That Lieut. Portwich. former officer
OF the erstwhile German gunboat
Geier, had no connection with the cir
cumstances attending the death OF
Miss Berg, is the conclusion to be de.
duced from the testimony presented
yesterday. Bruno Pilorz, local Ger
man chemist, not only presented the
letters which were written him by
the German officer and which sup
posedly contained evidence Of an I'M
favorable association with a Queens
hospital nurse. but Lieut.. Portwich
himself denied ever having known the
nurse.
Dressed in a neat white suit and &C.
companied by an army sergeant carry
ing a revolver at his hip. the German
prisoner appeared as the last witness
of the afternoon. Lieut.. Portwich
stated that he had never met Miss
Florence Berg. However, he admitted
he had been to the Queens hospital
to attend some kind of a celebration
around New Years, he said. He said
that he knew Werner Roehl, superin
tendent of the hospital.
He said that he had met several
nurses at the hospital, but refused to
tell who they were.
When asked il he called at the hos.
pItal to see the girls or Superinten.
dent Rohl, he said, 81 don't know"
Miss Frances G. Travers was one
nurse that the officer admitted he had
met, but, he said, he had never called
on her. He said that he never wrote
a letter to. Miss Berg, out that he had
written to- q. nurse, at the hospital.

Test Of the Eyes
To make a thoroughly scientific test

every branch of optical science, must
understand the laws Of refractton. the
anatomical structure and physiological
f,-nctions Of the eyes, their defects
their relation to human ills, the analy'

the remedy for its relief: must pos

ence with common sense to guide him
IN the application of this knowledge.
Opinions and Prejudice
Many persons are prejudiced ana
deny the need of using glasses. The
common remark, do not wear glasses
until you are compelled to do SO; II
you begin to wear them you Will al
ways be confined to their use, Is en-
tirely erroneous.
II you are performing labor beyond
your power of endurance and you see
some artificial means to relieve you OF
part Of the burden, would you be in
jured or benefited? II your eyes are
defective and you wear spectacles to
correct the defect and relieve the
strain, would you be more dependent
on glasses because you relieve your
eyes from the strain and burden OF
overcoming the defect? ... .-
For example: A steam engine re-
CURES a certain steam pressure to sup
ply the power necessary to keep the
engine running properly. Suppose there
was q leak in the boiler, causing a
waste of one-fourth of the steam; what
would be the practical remedy? Would
YOU, fire up in an effort to generate
more steam, or would you stop the
leak? s-. -:
IL your eyes are defective and you
are wasting one.fourth Of the total
nerve force Of the body in an effort to
overcome the defect, and you are suf-
fering with some bodily ailnent as a
result Of this constant waste of energy,
what is the proper thing to do? Will
you take medicine to stimulate the
body? Will you eat more food in an
effort to generate n-re enegry? Or
viii you remove the cause by wearing
glasses to correst the defect and stop
the waste? .... ..... i.
The Eye and lie Duties 49,.
The eye is an optical instrument.
The action Of the eye is mechanical.
The eye collects the rays of light and
brings them to point, forming an
Image on the retina. The optic nerve
is excited by this image and carries
the impression to the brain. In this
way one is said to see. ~. -.
A normal eye, looking at distance
of twenty or more feet, is in a state Of
repose, because the normal eye has
sufficient curvature to collect the rays
of light and bring them to point SO

SUMMARY
Defective Eyes Cause Eye Strain
Eye strain causes headaches. neu-
ralgia. indigestion, ne yousness. ner-
vous hysteria, epilepsy. and in extreme
cases insanity.
How? Why?
Because the eye IN its constant eff

light, wastes the nerve force that
should go to sustain the other parts OF
the body. Properlyfitted glasses will
remove the cause by supplying the
focal power necessary to permit the
muscles of the eyes to relax and re-
adjust TO their normal condition,
thereby stopping the waste of energy,
allowin- the normal supply OF nerve
force to accumulate in the chief nerve
center (the BRAIN, thus enabling the
brain to send the necessary energy
to the different organs of the body to
perform their functions. The cause
being removed, the waste of energy
