.Ir...urx Of Hidden seerets.~

A book called "The Treasury OF Hid
den Secrets" was written and printed
by Jane Bell In London in 1853. The
title page tells the readers that 1t Is
"The Treasury of Hidden Secrets,
commonly called the Good Huswives
Closet of Provision for the Health OF
her Household, gathered out OF sundry
experiments, lately practiced by men OF
great knowledge. and now newly en-
Iareed with divers physick helps, and
knowledge of the names and dispo-
stion of diseases that most commonly
happen to men and women.
"Not impairment for every good
huswife TO use in her house, amongst
her own Family"
Miss Bell dedicates her book ito all
women that love and profess the prac-
tice Of good huswifery, as well as wives
as maides."
After turning the pages of the BOOK
and deciphering the old English print
ing, one is rather in doubt whether IT
is q cook book for humans. 1t reads
more like the recipes might be for the
fairies.

Longtime Tenant Rewarded.

Stories extolling the virtues Of
landlord are heard SO seldom that they
bear repeating. This one comes from
Paris:
An aged woman In a tenement in
the Latin quarter not only is no longer
compelled to pay rent but is supported
by donations from the landlord and
tenants Of the building. This unusual
generosity is due to the fact that the
woman has lived in the same apart
ment for 75 years. Neighbors called
the landlords attention to the wom-
ans plight. A search Of the records
showed that not single quarterly rent
installment had been missed during the
last IS years.

EVE AFFECTS WHOLE BODY
Why Routine Examination Of School
Children Is Imperative 10 Ex-
planned by Authority.

DIR. &c Schweinitz, in Hygeia, first
points out that only about 4 per cent
of eyes are entirely normal according
to optical standards. At birth nearly
al eyes are far-sighted. Near-sighted
eyes most commonly make their ap-
pearance from the sixth to the tenth
year of life, that is to say especially
during school years. Such errors when
marked give rise to eyestrain or "weak
eyes" While ii is true that few eyes
are absolutely normal, many approach
1t SO closely that for all practical pur-
poses they may be considered normal.
They do not give rise to discomfort,
and correcting glasses are not required,
at least, In younger years. But 1t
must be realized further that good
vision and painless eyes do not neces-
sarily exclude eyestrain and eyestrain
may cause headache, pains in various
parts Of the body, twitching Of the
face, night terrors, nervousness, indi-
gestion, and many other symptoms.
The need for the routine examination
Of the eyes Of school children Is there
fore clear, and the possible effects Of
failure to recognize the fact Of eye
trouble are pointed out. These effects
are not limited to the eye itself. "The
eye is not confined, as 1t were. to lit
tie area Of its own, subject to diseases
and defects unconnected with the rest
Of the body. Quite the contrary. 1t
is most intimate in its relations to the
rest Of the body" "The problems
which surround it, whether they re-
late to optical faults or to disease.
are medical problems. and must be
solved with this fact always In View"

Haven't Lost Any
Suitcase, Declare
Ricketts, And BarrOWs

Harold Barrows and d. F. Ricketts,,
two well known Cody men, were
taken into custody on Saturday even
ing by Sheriff Ioomis on a warrant
issued by Charles Lewis. marshal at
Powell who charged the two men with
bootlegging.
1t seems that the cause of their ar
rest dated back to n day late in
December when a suitcase containing
fourteen pints Of m%oonshine was found
planted I n a Powell garage. The suit
case was confiscated and taken to the
Powell Jail and later transferred to
Cody where 1t is believed evidence
was shown describing the possibility
Of the suitcase belonging to Barrows

LOOMS TRACKS TRAppERs;;
RECEIVERS WATCH AND CHAIN

On Saturday evening Levi
Somers reported to the Sheriff's Of
flee the loss of a gold watch with a
valuable watch charm which he be-
lieved had been taken from his room
In Cody, and described two men who
had been lettering about the premises
as the possible thieves. The only
the men were CARRIED as trappers
from the mountains and Somers ex-
planned that one man was wearing
pack boots or moccasins.
Early Sunday morning. our new
sheriff proved that he Is somewhat
o. a detective. by coming upon the
two men as they were walking along
the Sunlight Road in the direction Of
Skull Creek. Loomis had tracked
them from town by the aid Of the des
cription given as to n Of the men
ha~tng worn moccasins.
When overtaken, both were armed
with rifles and had packs hung across
their backs showing that they were
indeed heading for the mountains.
AT first they denied knowledge of the
theft OF the watch and charm and x
planned that they were trappers. but
upon further questioning both admit
ted the theft. and the valuables were
produced and later returned to Som
ers.
The two men who were entered in
tne book as Richard Ashley and John
Doe respectively. are being held in
the county jail.
