YOUR HEALTH
BY DR.. CLIFFoRD C. ROBINSON
Inhamed Eyes

In1amed eyes result frequently
from what may be called sympa-
thetic causes. That is, no direct
disease in themselves, but from dis
turbances in the digestive system,
bladder troubles, nervous headaches
n conditions of eye strain which
in time become chronic through lack
of proper treatment at the source.
Temporary red and inhamed eyes,
with unsightly lid conditions, may
result from severe colds or particu-
larly dusty, windy days.
Nothing is more painful than a
small particle of foreign matter in
the eye. Never resort to rubbing as
a means of removal. 1t will aggra-
vate rather than relieve the trouble,
If this foreign particle should hap
pen to be a steel-fling or other me-
tallic substance, the danger is often
greatly increased. Careful attention
and skilled treatment are absolutely
necessary. Rubbing will only cause
the metal particle to become more
firmly embedded in the ball of the
eye. The foreign body may some
times actually penetrate the eyeball
by severe rubbing and cause loss OF
sight.
Dust particles, cinders and such
may be removed by closing the eye
and placing the finger tip, after thor
oughly cleansing. gently but firmly
at the tear gland or inner corner OF
the EYE. The tears will wash them
out.
In any acute Inflammation the ap-
%plication of cold water is soothing
II the Inflammation is well advanced,
continued applications of very hot
water may help in constructing the
blood vessels, reducing swelling and
relieving pain.
Do lot resort to quack "eye
waters" or "eye drops" They US
ually contain powerful drugs. such
as cocoain and atropin, and only
augment rather than cure your in
famed eyes.

Iron output in October was az strife more than III oeplem-
Der. a customary seasonal movement. October production was
quite a bit less than in May, the record month, but producuon
last spring was so excessively big that a reaction was IN
evitable.
October output of pig iron averaged over lOl,ooO tons a
day. In October, 1914, the average was not mucn more la
half as big. As long as our basic or key industry is stepping
it off nearly twice as fast as before the war, there no excuse
for pessimism.
Steel industry not only is busy, it's preparing to continue
so. This years shipments of iron ore down the Great Lakes,
up to the first of November, exceeded "a million tons. Thls
compares with about 80 million tons in the corresponding
period of last year..
If that doesn't shake the blues, try this remedy: In octo-

Accounts of persons gored and
trampled by cattle appear only too
often in the newspapers. Sometimes
the victim is a farmer who has
handled stock all his life. Again it
is a stranger who just happened to
pass through a field where a bull
was grazing.
Experts of the Department. OF
Agriculture say that just as the I'M
loaded gun is responsible for most
of the shooting accidents, so it is
the gentle bull that causes most of
the accidents with cattle. The
really ferocious animal is kept
closely penned or is killed. The adj
vice of the department is that all
bulls, however gentle, should be kept
in the proper kind of an enclosure,
so that they can be comfortable but
not a menace to human life.

 A A complete discussion of Ca- mellias would be too long for these columns, but in the territory of Montgomery, they don't need much protection, as only severe freeze would seriously injure. They are propagated from November to Jan uary from cuttings. much like roses or grapes. The cutting should con- tain two or three eyes, should be in- serted in sharp sand, leaving one eye above ground and one leaf. They should be kept moderately cool and after well rooted the plants may be potted to aid further root develop ment, before setting in the open.
 o. Will you please write me how to rid my pecan trees of caterpillars? Mrs. E. NJ, Greensboro, Ala.

Then spray the infected, parts with lime sulphur to which add tea spoonful of arsenate lead to the gall lon.

The writer could not tell about the price of shrub referred to unless he knew what 1t was, but tho writer happens to know that many shrubs, being sold from house to house at from $1 each and up, can be bought from any re- sponsible dealer or nurseryman In Birmingham at from 35 to 50 cents each.

 o. I have a good stand of English rye grass lawn, recently on Bermuda, but would like to try some blue grass. Could I simply sprinkle the blue grass on top of the other grass? M. N, Hartselle, Ala.

 A. You can and this is the proper time to plant.
 Q. How far back should roses be cut when you buy them before set- ting out? Mrs, S., Gadsden, Ala.
 A. There can be no rule as every plant presents a different proposi- ton. The best thing to do is get the nursery man who sells you the roses to cut them back as they should be. The ordinary dealer can not do this because the customer would not accept the plants when properly cut back.

 The Age-Herald receives many complaints every season from read CTS who have been swindled by peddlers of trees and various shrub bery. Why do sensible people pat ronize these wandering grafters?
