from turning. This is because the
muscle balance is imperfect.
You have seen cross-eyed per
son. There is one muscle which is
too strong, so the eye is pulled out
OF its proper and normal position
or else one muscle is too weak TO
hold the eve in the correct place.
Where the muscles are unbal-
anced, cross-eye does not take place.
hut II is only because OF extra effort
that it does not. The difference be-
tween muscular unbalance and
actual cross-eye is that in the for
mer condition the eyes can be and
are kept in Elace by exerting great
effort. In cross-eye it is impossi-
bic by any voluntary muscular eff
fort TO keep the eyes straight.
OF course, the failure Of muscular
balance demands constant effort 70
keep the eyes right. This means
that the nerves controlling the eye
muscles are constantly called upon
to work. Such constant effort is
eXhausting 10 the nervous system.
II results in eyeache, in headache,
neckache, backache. and, in some
cases. in nervous breakdown.
In every obscure case of apparent
eyestrain it is not enough to test
the seeing power Of the eyes. It
must be determined that the eve
muscles are doing perfect team
work

WHY EYESTRAIN MAY BE DUE

A woman writes 10 ask me what
to do for unbalanced muscles of the
eye. She wants TO know if such
trouble might be responsible for a
nervous breakdown.
Reference is made 20 the eve
strain which is due TO lack of team
work-not TO poor vision in one or
both eyes, but TO the failure of the
eyes 10 work together.
An old friend of mine says you
may have two horses and not have
a team. If the horses won't rull
together, they pull apart, and team
work is impossible.
1t is exactly the same way with
the eyes. Each of US has two eyes
If they act as nature intended. they
pull together. If the muscles are
accurate in their movements each
eye is readily and Immediately di-
rected toward the same object. In
other words, the eye muscles are
balanced.
Unfortunately. not every pair Of
eyes is so adjusted. One eye may
have a tendency TO turn in or to
turn out. 1t does not actually turn,

"What fools these mortals be!

N ELIGIOUS intolerance Fanatl-
cism, Strife, Sin, Ruin and Catas-
- trophe follow in the wake of bitter
religious rivalry. From time immemorial
empires have collapsed; great men have
toppled from the heights; beautiful and
praiseworthy institutions have succumbed !;
material ideals have been shattered, by
this bug-a-boo of modern civilization.
Witness the present ghastly conditions
in bleeding Ireland. What frightful toll
on the population of great people, par
ticularly among its intellectual class. The
very womb of national life!
All, what sad paradox!
Two sections, the North and the South,
bent on each others destruction. This in
famed object born of religious differences,
and that alone, as all other reasons pale
into insignifcance by their minority, is
rapidly eating out the heart of Ireland
and trying the patience of sympathetic ma
tons and people everywhere Oh! re-
iigion, what sins are committed in thy
name!
Verify, "What fools these mortals bel"
applies.
In our own great republic, with few
exceptions,-one of which I will relate
we are blessed with national broad
mindedness on religious questions that
makes for peace, harmony and speedy
growth, but, more so if possible, since the
great war have we been prone to be
liberal, tolerant and considerate of re-
ligious beliefs by reason of the splendid
cooperation of denominations of all faiths
in war activities and the general tendency
to coordinate both materially and spirit
ually in the common cause.
All of which, dear reader, is merely
foreword to an incident l have in mind
that revolves around the much mooted
question of religious belief.
About the time, of which l am writing,

charge of the editorial, reportorial and

a man for whom 1 had deep affection,
admiration and genuine respect,-and still
have. He was printer by profession, en-
ployed on the Blade also, but man with
much vision and high ideals; with pen
chant for novel ideas and the initiative
to act on them. Opportunity could never
be said to have raped on Walter Hoods

Somewhat under medium height; of
frail physique, but oddly enough, radiat-

characteristics, Walter Hood was indeed
a complex person. Something of dreamer
also, his immobile countenance belied the
latent energy, and when relaxed revealed
his chief personal charm, an indescribably
pleasant and genial smile. Gray-green

II with an exposition in 1876 the COM
pletion of the first century of its
independence, so Brazil will celebrate
next September her first centenary as a ma
tion by means of a great world fair in
Rio de Janeiro.
1t is an occasion and ceremony which
the people of the United States are partic-
ularly well fitted to understand and ap-
preciate. In a number of ways Brazil
stands where the United States stood 46
years ago, though in many others, of
course, this neighbor to the south, equipped
with modern machinery and assisted by
modern methods, is far in advance of the
United States of 1876.
Brazil is much more than zone of the
South American republics" In area it is in
class with the United States. Its flag
floats over practically one-half of South
America and one-fifth of the western hem
isphere. Leaving Alaska out of considera-
tion, Brazil is actually 100000 square miles
greater than the United States! 1t has
boundaries of greater or less length in
common with every other country in South
America except Ecuador and Chile. The
land boundary of Brazil, following all the
twistings of rivers and mountain ranges,
is probably not far from 10000 miles long,
and there is a coastline of 5000 miles as
well. The largest river in the world,
tremendous potential water power, and
huge deposits of minerals are among some
of the other physical features that mark
Brazil out for big things.
1t is particularly in the possession of
vast, undeveloped resources that Brazil is
comparable to the United States of half a
century ago. 1t too, has its West; but it
is West strikingly different from the
plains country of central North America.
The equator crosses northern Brazil, and
more than nine-tenths of the huge country
lies within the tropics. Brazil's West con-
sists for the most part of dense tropical
forest-a veritable ocean of verdure-rich
in hard woods and rubber trees. Into this
largely undeveloped country stretches the
broad Amazon and its tributaries up
which ocean vessels steam for 1000 miles
as though ocean steamers in our own
country could steam up the Mississippi and
Ohio past Cincinnati. River steamers
ascend the main streams for another 1000
miles and run up numerous tributaries for
several hundred miles. The possession of
this great Amazon waterway and its net
work of tributaries greatly cheapens trans
portation in Brazil in comparison with
country in which dependence must be
placed largely on railroads.
In addition to its northern forests, Bra
zil has prairie country in its middle
West'-the south central portion of the
country lying north of Paraguay and ex-
tending northward into the hill country.
Large herds of cattle are grazed and there
is room for great expansion of the indus
try.
The southeastern edge of Brazil, para
doxically, is the heart of the country. The
white population, numbering probably be-
tween 100000 and 100000 is largely
in the region of temperate eli
mate in the southern coastal highlands
which extend inland 200 page e, Col 81

POOR ADDRESSES TO BLAME
investigation Shows They Are the
Chief Cause of Failure Of Mall
to Arrive.

Washington.-Recent Investigations
made at the request of the Depart
ment of Commerce regarding the fail
ure of foreign mail to reach its desti
nation resulted in the disclosure that
carelessness in proper addressing of
matter is responsible.
The Post Office department has been
conducting survey of conditions al
the port of New York, where an aver
age of 10000 pieces of mail daily is
received and placed upon ships for
foreign-bound points, which has result
ed in the discovery that illegible
names and poorly printed addresses
cause many letters and packages to
go astray. A report of the situation
has been made to the Department of
Commerce.
Most of the blame is laid upon the
larger manufacturers Of the United
States, who are the major offenders in
failing to properly address their for
eign mail. The report, while COM
mending the use Of addressing ma
chimes, urges that careful attention be
given to their operation, particularly
in the case of letters or packages to
be sent overseas.

are reduction in fuel cost, In main
tenance cost, elimination of coaling
engines, increased tonnage per train.
increased. speed on grades. increased
reliability, reduced train crews, in
creased safety, reduced damage and
wear on equipment, reduced deprecia-
tion on tracks and improved atmos-
pheric conditions. Noise also is elm
mated. The child of the future may
not identify railroad train as a
"choO-chOO."
Electric Operation Cheaper.
All operating costs considered, the
experts figure that there is a net saw
ing of % ner cent in electric opera
ton of railroad trains as compared
with steam. An analysis made by the
Norfolk & Western railroad revealed
that the fuel cost of running an cleo
trio locomotive 100 miles was $4495,
compared with cost of $7242 for
steam locomotive.
1t is estimated that power can be
transmitted by cable for distance
of 200 miles before the leakage makes
the transmission wasteful. In many
sections of the country no railroad
is more than 200 miles distant from a
coal mine But in the non-coal-pr0duc-
ing regions, the mine-mouth electrical
plants would be supplemented, under
the plan, by hydro-electric power
plants.
The nation Is rich in water power
by far the greater part of which is
undeveloped. The general scheme of
railroad and industrial electrifcation
would Include greater power develop
ment from the streams. Between
these hydro-electric plants and the
coal-consuming power plants the coun-
try could be covered with a network
of power cables which would serve
every purpose.
Some coal movement would con
tinue, such as that for domestic heat
ing, but the great bulk of the coal
transported to run railroads and fac
tories would not leave the mines
energy would he shipped by wire.
Such stupendOus development
could not be realized In day. 1t
would be the work Of many years. but
with the forces Of the government
supplemented by the support of the
great industrial and railroad corpora
tions, 1t might be feasible undertak-
ing.
