TONIC FOR MOON BLINDNESS
Recommended for Horses AfIloteo
with Allment Rather Than Cut
tlnn Out Teeth.

Moon blindness IL q recurrent oph-
thalmia or Inflammation Of the con-.
~1unctival membrane Of the white Of
the eye and the lining Of the eyelids.
Close, dark, M-ventilated stables pre-
dispose the horse to moon blindness,
The peculiar characteristic is its perl
odical recurrence and its serious
results. Because the attacks often
follow each other at intervals Of about
a month, many enormously suppose
that they are Influenced by some phase
Of the moon-hence, the name.
The ignorant recourse to knocking
out the wolf teeth or cutting the haw,
or winking cartilage, cannot be too go
verely condemned. TONES are recon-
mended for horses affected with moon
blindness, as well as such other meas
ures as tend to the Improvement Of the
horses condition.

Will Not Read Bible in Schools,

The Atlanta board Of education at 6
recent regular meeting reversed its ac-
ton which ordered the reading of the
Bible and repeating the Lords prayer
in the public schools of the city. This
action was taken by the board after
having heard read the address Of the
late Senator Joseph e. Brown, war
governor Of Georgia and the first
president If the Atlanta board of edu-
cation, which was delivered in 1873,
and in which the Georgia senator de-
livered an argument against enforcing
the use of the Bible in the schools.

flelaI Illumination Would Seem
70 30. Plausible.

How can artificial illumination have
any effect on egg production, II the
question being asked by some skep-
teal poultrymen who have never made
any tests.
The answer ID, according to the
workers In poultry husbandry at the
New York state college Of agriculture,
that the light appears to equalize the
time between meals and to shorten the
period Of inactivity Of the fowls dur
ing the long nights.
The long nights Of the late fan and
winter months apparently cause the
fowls to use a larger proportion Of
the night feed for bodily needs than
would be the ase under normal con-
ditions In the s~pringtme, when the
days and the nights r OF practically
equal length.
At the time Of the year when fowls
lay the most eggs in New York state
the months Of April, May and June
the days and the nights are approd-
mately Of equal length. Under these
conditions. fowls appear to assimilate
their feed, secur the proper amount
Of exercise, and form their eggs to best
advantage.
The latter part Of December there
r about fifteen hours Of darkness and
nine hours OF daylight, whereas In the
latter part Of June the reverse is true
there are approximately fifteen hours
~ Sn&1&rrIA 49, ~s-> >L.-- S--H-----
In other words, illumination at
tempts to initiate spring conditions SO
far as the hours Of activity and the
regulation Of feed supply are con
cerned. |" #N 1&"

Influence Of Good Books.

When you find a child who loves
good books, the noxious weeds Of
envy, hatred, jealousy and malice are
not SO likely to grow in his mind and
choke cut the exquisite blossoms Of
love, tenderness, unselfishness, graft
tude and the desire to do unto others
as he would be done by. The love of
good books Is one foundation for good
character, observes a writer in the
Oklahoman. 1t is the exception, not
the rule, to encounter sordidness, greed
or insensibility in the man or woman
who knows and loves good books. Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson once said that so
long as a man had a friend he had
something to live for. Is it not true
so long as one can love a good and
beautiful book that life never will be
without hopper

First 70 Teach Deaf Mutes.

The first American institution for
the education Of the deaf and dumb
was founded in Hartford In 1917 by
DR.. Thomas q. Gallaudet, who was
born in Philadelphia 181 years ago.
he was educated at Yale and at
Andoyer Theological seminary. and
1t was his intention to enter the min
lstry. Before leaving Andovsr, how
ever, he had decided to devote his
life to the instruction Of deaf mutes,
for whom no provision had been made
anywhere in America. He remained
at the head Of the Hartford institu-
tion> from 1917 until 1880. when Ill
health forced his retirement. The
first systematic attempt to instruct
the deaf and dumb in Europe was
made in 1870 by Pedro de Ponce, a
Benedictine monk Of Spain. The first
British institution Of this kind was
opened in Edinburgh in 1773.

China's Peanut Industry,

Before the war the peanut industry
of China had reached it's highest point
in it's relation to the foreign export
trade. The annual exports then were
about 10000 tons Of shelled peanuts
and about $4,000 tons of oil. More than
40 per cent Of these amounts went
from the port of Tsingtau, as Shan
tung has become the largest peanut
producing province Of China.

OIL PIPE LINES
feamstero Defeated Proposition
Which Had Ito Origin In Brain Of
~ Aeman Jones, Pennsylvanian.

Il was an American, Heman Jones
Of Erie, Pa, who frst conceived the
idea Of the construction Of an oil pipe
line. It was to be Of wood four inches
In diameter. but was not executed. A
year later, In 1852, a bill was intro
duced into the legislature authorizing
. pipe line from Oil Creek to Kittan-
ming, Pa, (the state In which oil was
first dscovered), but 1t got no further,
through the opposition Of 1000 team
sters. In fact, for some years the
teamsters made impossible the sue
cess Of the pipe lines. They were do
ing very well out Of the existing meth
DDS Of transportation, earning $40 to
$50 a day, and they viewed with vim
dictive disfavor the loss Of dollars
and weekly revelries. Both in 1863
and in 1855 the teamsters wrought
havoc on the two pipe lines construct
ed In those years. Eventually prog
res gained the day, and many lines
were laid, including one 102 miles long
In 1880. It was not, however, till John
D. Rockefeller and his associates took
the matter in hand, eliminating all the
old-fashioned methods Of production
and transportation, that petroleum be-
gan to be the power and profit it is to-
day. In 1860 the United States pro-
duction Of petroleum was 21,000,OOO
gallons. In 1917 it had risen to 49,
440.0O0,000 gallons. Gasoline is still
the chief ~dsrivative, but fuel oil has
q great future.

The chief habit forming principle OF
tobacco is nicotine, a deadly poison

The harmful effect of tobacco varies
and depends on circumstances. one

ton known as tobacco heart If you
use tobacco in any form you can cas-
lly detect the harmful effects by max
ing the following simple test. Read
aloud one full page from a book. II.

II was during summer vacation De

she received word from the late George

ed to teach in Ardmore.
When Mrs. Washington took charge
of the Second ward school in 1906 there
WAS an enrolment of l67 pupils, with
work in only seven grades. In l'lV
an eighth grade was added. Al the
close of the term this year there were

A writer in the March number of
The Sunday at Home recalls that
Cologne, on the Rhine, which is now
occupied by British troops, dates
back to the year 81 B. G. In the year
so A. d. Roman colony was estab-
lished there by Colonia Agrippina, the
wife of Claudius Caesar, and the city
was named after her. 1t has always
been an important city, doing large
trade. The 1905 census shows a pOpu-
lation of 42S, SOB, of whom so per cent
are Roman Catholics.
Cologne is a fortress of the first
rank, the forts forming a semi-circlel
around the city. Being an ancient city.
the streets are narrow and crooked.
The Church of Ursula is said to con-
tain the bones of 1000 virgins,
slaughtered, the legend informs us, by
the ancient Huns because they would
not break their VOWS of chastity. The
great cathedral is one of the finest
examples of Gothic architecture in
Europe. 1t was centuries in building.
The total cost has been about two
millions.
