Bathing The Eyes

Bathing The eyes occasionally during
tho day, as welA2s on rising, is con
duaiye 10 their preservation. When
the organ is healthy cool spring water
should be preferred; but where there
is reason to suspect any disease peo.
pie can not be too careful, considering
what a very delicate organ the eye is,
in having professional advice before
they adopt any remedial means. When
the roads are dusty and high winds
prevail bathing the eyes is so pleas
ant, and felt to be so necessary to
comfort, that we need say nothing as
to its salubrity to induce its employ
ment by those who have experienced
the annoyance arising from dust iii
walking our streets in summer; how
ever, care must be taken to be per
fectly cool before bathing the eyes,
because if the face be covered with
perspiration the application of cola
water may be very dangerous.

Was Waiting At Dock As Happy N Pair Tried To Board Liner
By wEsfBRook pEsLEa

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.IThe French liner Savoie is being slammed around the north Atlantic in the usual winter frolic of the tumbling seas, but among those who aren't enjoying the sport are James Cough and his girl friend, Julia Howell. James is a motion picture man. Miss Howell is said to have been n waitress in one of the more popular hotels on Broadway.
 Cough and Miss Howell clattered gaily down to the ship in light-draft taxi, picked a course through the shoals of lower town traffic and tangled onto the docks just as the soughing fo'castle engine hoisted the last grab of dunnage off the dock and dumped it through the hatch.
 Come on, honey" said Cough, or something like that. Show a little alacrity," and he helped her to the gang plank, waving the passports at the state department men there.

 It was the voice of determined woman.
 "What?". exclaimed Cough. You here?"

I28 ARE ARRESTED
 M KHAN DRY RAIDS
s. G. Young Leads Fourth Party
 On Williamson County, III.

JOHNSTON CITY, H., Feb. "A total of IF persons has been arrested to- day in the dry raids in Williamson county, which began last night and con- tinued this afternoon. Several hun dred men, said to be members of the ku k1ux Klan, conducted the county wide raids, which were led by S. Glenn Young, dry worker and paid employe of the klan.
 The raids were principally on pri- vate homes and a number of negroes are among those held. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad furnished special train to take the prisoners to Benton this afternoon for appearance before a federal, commissioner. The raiders confiscated six stills, 2 barrels of wine, 51 gallons of moonshine and POO gallons of home brew.
 It was the fourth big raid in the county in several months, and on Jan uary the activities of the raiders re- suited in three companies of state militiamen being sent to the county.
 State Representative Wallace A. Randy and Sam Stearns, chairman of the board of county supervisors and Cyclops of the klan, were among the raiders.
 The raiders said some shooting was necessary when persons attempted to escape, but no one was shot, Charles Paris of this city was struck by the raiders when he resisted them. He sui fered cut extending from his left ear to the middle of his forehead. Charles Cazaleen, public administrator here. and Italian consular representative, was among those arrested.

EDITH WILSON'S
 COURAGE HOLDS
Wife Of Dying War President Thinks Any Woman Would
 Do The Same
By BETTY EDWARDS tby leased WIrs ts The Ase. Hsrald)

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Not even the reception accorded to her during the peace conference and in the capitals of the great allied powers would have been sufficient to recompense Mrs. Woodrow Wilson for the years of tragic anxie- | ties that have fallen to her lot, had she not been so tonchingly devoted to her husband.
 For several years she has been con- stAntly at Mr., Wilson's side. When she made her first public appearance after leaving the White House at re- ception of the women's democratic com mittee in the spring of 1922, many women thanked her for devotion to the ex-President. She replied to them that any woman in her place would have | done the same.
 Surrounded By Great Strain
 Ever since Edith Boiling Galt be- came Mrs. Woodrow Wilson in Decem- Der, 1915, an atmosphere of tremen- dous strain surrounded her. No Presi- dent in the history of the country faced greater problems than fell to MT. Will son and very few women ever should care to receive the cares that became his wife's.
 The widow of well-known merchant in the capital, and tracing her descent from the Indian Princess Pocahontas, through prominent family in Virginia, Edith Galt was popular society woman when her friendship with Miss Margaret Wilson brought her as guest to the White House.
 From the moment she entered the White House as first lady of the land Mrs. Wilson merged all her personal interests with the cares and anxieties that were the life. of the President. Courageously she shared with Mir. Will son, the dramatic and tragic years of the war and the bitterness of his de- feat. on the Esague of Nations.
 When Real Test Came
 But the real test of her devotion came when, broken in body, but still undaunt- ed in spirit, the war President left the White House and moved to the beauti- full home in s street, which he has oc- cupied ever since.
 During the last months of his presi- dency, Mrs. Wilson acted as the inter- mediary between the vast machinery of government and the stricken execu- tive. Her intelligence and unusual memory enabled her to grasp the in- tricate affairs of state and present them to her husband.
 With energy and tact, she shielded her invalid husband from anything that might have proven a strain for him, after he had retired to private live.
 Loving society and people, she gave up all her preferences to read to the invalid, to keep him comfortable and as content as could be. It is only recently that she has left her husband for social engagements at all, and then only for political reasons, to show her interest in the activities of the democratic women.
