No prophecy is surer to be full
filled than that. The minute a
person understands the import
ance of conserving his sight
that minute he begins to appre-

health there cannot be any sort
of health. And as more people
are finding that out, it is a safe
prediction that more glasses

With the reference to the taxes to
be collected in District No. z, which
includes the village of Clio, the as
sessment for general purposes within
the corporate limits of the village
is one dollar per thousand less than
that in the territory outside. The
reason for this is that the tax payers
in the village pay their road taxes
locally while those outside pay them
to the township. The total rate out
side the village will be $29.10, as
above noted, and within the village
it will be S28.10.

Ousting of the Inefficient Army Officers

@ ECRETARY WEEKS has ordered
" the heads Of all branches of the
army to eliminate officers who do not
measure up to standards of military
efficiency. Officers who cannot give
satisfaction in one branch will be tried
out in some other, and those who fail
to measure up in any of the positions
will be subject to retirement on small
pay or discharged under the provisions
Of a recent law. In an explanatory
statement the War department says:
1.-THE basic principle in making as
signments is to have the right officer
in the right place. The best interests
Of the service should always be para
mount in deciding this question, and
1t usually requires a study of the Off
GERS whole record to determine it.
An officer receives his base training
In the branch In which he Is commits
stoned, and must be At for duty in
his branch in peace and war. Should
he not show fitness for any branch,
then his case win be brought to the
attention Of the annual classification
board.
There is now a law providing for
the elimination Of inefficient officers,

"The facts developed by the attor-

GENTLENESS IS GREAT HELP
Loss Due to Digestive Troubles Caused

The practical value of treating live
stock kindly is discussed by Virginia
live stock owner in letter to the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
"All cattle buyers" he remarks, "know
how great is the drift in shipping cat
tie. Very much of this loss is due to-
digestive troubles caused by excite
ment and fear incident to travel.
keep all live stock as quiet and
make them as gentle as possible and
your feeding costs will be noticeably
reduced. Try this suggestion with
one litter Of pigs"
TT will abundantly repay any live
stock breeder" he adds, so spend a
great dea Of time going out quietly
among his animals and letting them
make the adyancements. He Will be
surprised how soon he can begin to put
HIS hands on them. After they realize
his hands are not to be dreaded they
win soon enjoy gentle rubbing or
scratching. When animals are shell
tered from annoying or exciting occur
rences they digest feed better and 1t
takes much less TO keep up normal
growth and fat production"
