blind MAN Sees
WITHOUT EYES
Soldier Of Foreign Legion
is Inventor of Marvellous
Device
POLISH SAVANT
CONTINUES STUDY

N. E. A. Special 10 The Evening Journal
PARIS. Nov. 29.-NIaking the blind see
Is a marvel that may be wrought at
Nice.
Profound hope OF scientists in the
success OF remarkable invention by
NJ. Kahn, a Polish savant who is a sol
der in fhe Foreign Legion. has been
expressed in the "Eclaireur de Nice"
The invention is a small apparatus
In the form OF a hah-mask. Il is placed
over the face OF the blind man and Is
connected by wires With a portable
electrical induction apparatus. Lenses,
fotal-reflectlOn prisms, a camera filter
ing light rays and phosphorescent
plaques complete the "seeing machine"
The basis for the invention is:
First. there are no Opaque bodies;
that is TO say, certain light rays can
render objects visible through a screen.
SECOND. blindness. even in the most
serious cases. amputation OF the eye,
does not bring about the insensibility OF
the optic nerve, which as long as II
is living remains susceptible TO the In
fuence Of luminous impressions.
NJ. Kahn has been given leave from
the Foreign Legion 70 continue his cX-
perimenis at Nice. His idea is pro
gressive education of the optic nerve
varying in period with each subject
and the length Of time which the blind
ness has existed. lie hopes 10 restore
the eyesight OF men blinded by acci-
dent and particularly those blinded
through wounds received in battle.
A number have been subjected TO The
experiment a few hours daily, with
the result that they successfully per-
ceivedl instead Of the yellowish-gray
tint which habitually replaces sight,
first all the colors OF the rainbow be-
ginning with red, then the natural
white light and then shadows and OBJ

One blind man has distinguished OBJ
jecis OF furniture, the .Eclaireur de
Nice" says, has Disseminated between
two and three fingers OF the hand and
has indicated the limits OF a we'll

soup is poured into them, other
wise they will crack. When thor
'oughly cooked drain the chickens
from the preserving kettle and
leave the soup on, simmering slow
ly. TO this add all the bones and
skim, and let reduce until rich.
Then strain. In removing the meat
from the bones leave it in as large
pieces as possible and pack the
jars with the breasts on the out
side and fill in the center with the
smaller pieces. Then pour in the
chicken soup (Which should jelly

to the sterilizer, see that the tops
are covered with water. and keep
boiling for two hours. Remove one

to cool, being careful to stand the
jars out of a draught. The result
we'll repays for the trouble. Those

it can be served in endless ways,

taken from an experience of sew

called by-product of the canning
operation.
The method is as follows:
Cut the fowl into sections, as for

Chicken May be Canned

Few people seem to realize that
chicken can be preserved as easily
as FRUITS and vegetables, and that
1t pays handsomely to put it UP.

AMERICAN REDSKINS
ON THE WAR PATH
Back up Uncle Sam in the
War Program

The war attltute of the Indians
at large has been a revelation of
patriotism. The Indian insists that
he is merely following his tradi-
tions-that from the old days back
IN 1909, when kindly Indians re-
LEVIED the starving settlers at
Jamestown, he has always been a
friend CT the white man whenever
reasonably encouraged. Indians
have helped the United States in
every war it has fought. Since
1881 .hey have been accepted as
volunteers in the army and have
written a soldierly, honorable re-
cord.
But in this war the spirit and
bl.od cf the race seem to have
l..aI in oAe hot compound of
m I.tant Americanism.
Last December there took place
a. Bullhead, settlement in South
Dakota, near the scene of Clusters
last fight and of Sitting Bulls
death, a ceremony full of signifi-
canoe for the whole race of red
men-full of meaning, indeed, for
all Americans. Seven young full
blooded braves were about to vol
unteer for the military service of
the United States in our war
against the Kaiser. Even their
names were redolent of the wild
Eugene Younghawk, James Wea-
salbear, Samuel Bravecrow, James
E;Ilagecenter, John Ironthunder,
Joseph Leaf and Thomas Pleas
ant.
Over in France not long ago
John Peters, a Menominee Indian
serving with Company A, First
Engineers, died of wounds receiv-
ed in fight with the Germans.
Back home IN Wisconsin, at the
he. hana Indian School, the Ameri- |
can flag flew at half-mast.
Through Shawano County antique
women of the victims tribe reviv-
ed the age-old custom of wailing
for the dead, which lasts for days. |
In the case of John Peters it is !
worth remembering, for he was
probably the first Indian to enlist |
in the army after war came and
was undoubtedly among the first
Americans to cross the ocean in
transports.
Down at Camp Bowie, near Fort
Worth, Texas, Captain Walter
Veach commands Company wholly !
If Choctaws, all volunteers.
Through this camp alone there are
scattered more than a thousand
Indians. In Nebraska the Winnie
bagoes formed a company early in
| the war. For the most part separ-
ate Indian units are froWned upon,
as it is the wish of the government
I to merge the aborigines upon an
equal footing with our white SOL
derS. But wherever Indian sol
diers are found they are reported
as earnest, efficient, silently OBJ
servant and equal to the best.
Above all, they are anxious to
fight.
Out of total population Of
33o,J98 about half of whom are
|c:::zens, there are less than $4,000
male Indians of military age. Yet
there are over 5000 Indians in the
United States army, IS per cent
of them volunteers, and several
hundred more in the navy, every
one full citizen.
Fourteen tribes are represented
ln the service, and when young
enough the chiefs themselves have
enlisted. In rank our Indian SOL
d.erS scale own from major to
private. and almost every branch
has ured some Indians. One In
ian helps run a flock of balloons,

Local { Ess.ners

Government To Sell Nitrate For
Fertilizer Through County
Agent

Notice has been given to N.
D. Guerry. Agricultural Agent
for Chickasaw County, that the
u. S. Department of Agriculture
will sell at cost a supply of
nitrate of soda to farmers in
Chickasaw County.
The nitrate was purchased
through the War Industries
Board under the authority of the
Food Control Act as a part of
the program for stimulating
agricultural production. 1t will
be unloaded at Atlantic ports!and
the price will be $3.50 a ton,
free on board cars at port cf
arrival. Farmers are to pay in
addition freight from port of
arrival and the State fertilizer
tag fee.
How To OBTAIN NITRATE
Applications for a part of the
100000 tons of nitrate bought
by the government will be re-
ceived only from actual farmers
or owners or holders Of farms
for use on their land, and may
be made through County Agent

Hon. JET Busby to the Voters

To the people of the 4th Con-
gressional District Of Missis-
sippi:
In coming before you as a
can didate for Congress | wish to
say that | believe that the time
has long since passed when any
American should by act, word or
suggestion place in question the
attitude of our Govnrnment in
the great war now being fought,
or its right to raise an army in
the manner it has adopted.
To oppose the administration
now is to stand against our peo-
pie; to criticise and belittie our
President is to weaken our cause
and encourage Germany. Such
conduct is poor backing for our
soldier boys who are to offer
themselves. if need be, as saeri-
fees on the altar of freedom on
the battle fields Of Europe, that
our liberties may be preserved.

Fatter hogs will help win the

Many of us will raise hogs for
patriotic reasons, others will
continue to raise and fatten
them for the money there is in
it. Not many people have any
clear idea Of how much profit
there isin raising hogs. If pro-
perly handled, there is good
money in it, but is easy for a
careless and ignorant person to

know.

and causing greater losses now
than cholera.
A farmer asked me, What
am to do about worms? | don't
think l can raise hogs proftably
on this high-priced corn until |

He had the right idea. No
hog infested with worms is 60
ing to pay $1.50 for corn. In
order to get at the bottom of the
trouble we should understand
how hogs get worms.
1. is a common belief that
hogs get worms by eating mass.
