She felt that she wouldn't have been

She looked over at the chamois-col-

Danger in Reading on
Conveyance in Motion,

Abstaining from reading in the
subway Is one way to prolOng
life, according to DIR. Frank j. Mon
Afghan, commissioner Of public
health of New York city. Take Il
look around any subway car, he
says. Scarcely one person in Ave
is not reading. Almost us many
newspapers as passengers enter at
each station. These papers are
read closely, painstakingly, by the
holder, sitting. standing or waver-
Ing with the motion of the cur.
"Every time the train lurches or
jerks many tiny muscles are kept
adjusting the eyes to the vibra-
tion." he explained to the New
York Times. This is why it is in
furious to use the eyes on con-
veyance in motion. Also, the
lighting Is apt to be extremely poor.
If this sort Of thing is kept up eye
strain and possibly nerve strain will
result. Blurred vision may fol-
low; and in the course Of years the
eyesight may be seriously impaired.
But the actual injury to the eyes
is not the whole story. Few persons
realize how the eyes are tied up
with the rest Of the body and the
rest of the body with them. Eye
strain will start the vicious circle.
1t induces fatigue. possibly head
ache, and lowers general vitality
and efficiency. If people would only
look out for such seemingly minor
details as these they would raise
the general health standard and
might even add years to their
lives"

"Seward's Folly"

Probably the phrase "Seward's
Folly" applied to Alaska will tndi,
cate az well as any words can the
attitude Of the people toward the
purchase of Alaska. American his
tories fail to emphasize the fact
that this government purchased the
territory called Alaska as an mp
probation of the support which
Russia gave to the federal gov
eminent during the Civil war. It
seemingly was an unwise invest
ment, for at the time OF the pur-
chase the public was not aware 1T
the enormous mineral wealth to b..
found in the territory.
