Force of Liaht.

Light has an actual mechanical pres sure and can be measured in the lab oratory. It has been found that the suns light in itself presses against the earth with a force something like TO- 900 tons. AS the surface of a sphere varies as the square of the radius, and as the volume or. mass varies as the cube of the radius, and as the me chanIcal pressure of light on the whole surface varies as that surface, and as the force of gravity varies as the mass, if a sphere is made smaller and smaller 1t is easily seen that the pressure or light does not decrease so fast as the force of gravity, so bodies beyond a certain minuteness could not reach the sun, but would be repelled by the me chanlcal force of it's light

MRS. SANGER TO BE TRIED
ON BIRTH CONTROL CHARGE

NEW YORK, Jan. What Mrs.
Margaret Sanger declared will be "a
decisive battle between the friends
and enemies of birth conrtol" is ex-
pected to begin when the little red
headed, fire eating birth control ad-
vocate who has preached her doc
trine thruout the county and gone to
Jail therefor many times, comes to
trial in Special sessions court here
today.
The specific charge against Mrs.
Sanger is 'm'aintaining public nui-
sance," in her birth control clinic in
Brooklyn. This case is the outcome
of Mrs. Sanger's campaign to estab-
lish birth control clinics first all over
New York and later during 1917 in
every large city in the United States.
The first time she was arrested
after the clinic opened she fought
the police and had to be carried to
the patrol wagon. At that time a
sympathetic parade of mothers and
baby carriages in the neighborhood
of the clinic was staged.

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAF
NESS AND HEAD NOISES.

II you know of some one who Is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness,
head noises or ordinary catarrh cut
out this formula and hand IL to them
and you may have been the means OF
saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. In England SCI
entists for a long time past have
tional disease and necessarily re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into
the middle ear which frequently means
total deafness. or else the disease may
be driven down the air passages to-
wards the lungs which is equally as
dangerous. The following formula
which is used in the damp English
climate is a constitutional treatment
and should prove especially efticacious
to sufferers here who live under more
favorable climate conditions.
Secure from your Druggist 1 ounce
of Parmint double strength. Take
this home and add to IT IA pint of
hot water and 4 ounces of granulated
sugar: stir until dissolved. Take one
Tablespoonful four times a day. This
will often bring quick relief from dis
tressing head noises. Clogged nostrils
should open. breathing become easy
and hearing improve as the infiam-
nation in the eustachian tubes is re-
duced. Parmint used in this way acts
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system and has a
slight tonic action that facilitates OBJ
taining the desired results. The prep
aration is easy to make. costs little
and Is pleasant to take. Every person
who has catarrh should give this
treatment a trial.-Adv.
