 DEFECTIVE EYES

The Eyesight Conservation Council Of America has lately made the as tonishing statement that 25,e00,oo Americans who are workers have de- fectivo vision.
 In other words, through disease conditions which have been ignored mainly during the years of childhood a great number have defective eyes Other conditions which prevail in adults resul, from eye strain in some special occupation which calls for strenuous work during long hours.
 The eyes arc ovcr-worked and many never try to effect remedy. Glasses are often ne.' .'ected and the eyes be- come the cause Of severe nervous headaches, dizziness, brain fatigue, floating spects before the eyes, and at times. severe cases of bodily fatigue,
 There is also tho trouble of blurred eyes and redress with frequent styes This condition is frequently caused by some catarrhal or diseased nasal sinuses. But if nothing is done to correct such eye troubles. they be- come worse and worse,
 IT the disease conditions which pro- ducc so many defective eyes were properly looked after, the percentage of such eyes in the industrial world tabout i7 per cent would be ma tcrially reduced.
 On tho other hand, the industrial conditions have become so exacting in many occupations that the real value of eyesight is often destroyed in a few years.
 Have your eyes examined when any trouble occurs.

 On through that desolate emptiness he tramped in the noontide heat, which still continued as intense as though the months that were past nf hat exceptional summer. until he came to the Fleet Ditch. Here 1t was that he bethought him of The ] Harp in Wood Street where he had lodged, and of it's landlord the fricnd- i ly Banks. who at some risk to him. self had warned him that the messen- gers of the law were on his heels 1 So in the direction Of Wood Street he new turned his steps.
 i He found it much as other streets. Not more than one shop in four was standing open, and trade in these was idle and stagnant. Proctor's fa- nous ordinary at the sign Of The Afitre--thc most repuicd eating house in fondon--nas closed and shuttercd. He regarded this as an evil omen. But he passed on, and came presently to stand before tho more modest Harp. He could scarcely believe his eyes when hc saw it's windows clean and open, it's door flung wide. He crossed the threshold, and turned into the common room on his left. The room was clean-swept, it's long deal tables were well secured |: ..I t.1n, contained a single occupant, man in an apron who stared tip from a wooden armchair in which he had been dozing. with an ejaculation of:
 "ts Gods my life, a customer.
 Holes stared at him and the man stared back at Holes. IL was Banks, the sintner hclself.
 "Colonel IIolles." he cried. "Or is it your ghost. sir? There's more ghosts than living men in this stricken city"
 We are both ghosts, think, Banks" ttc Colonel answered him. Maybe. but our gullets ain't ghostly. praise the Lord. And there's Shall we have q bottle Of medicine. Colonel ?"
 "Td say ycs. with all by heart. i But-lackaday. i've not the means to pay for the sack.

 "A plague on the plague. is the tcast." said he. and they drank it. "'Slife. Colonel, but I am glad to see you alive. feared the worst for you. Yet you've contrived 10 keep yourself safe. avoiding not only the plague, but them pestilentiaI fellows that was after you" Without wait ing for reply. he dropped his voice to add: yen have heard how Dam tcrs was took. and how he broke away and won good luck to him!

He disengaged him hand from her clasp at last "Oh. why do you try me. Nan?" he cried out. like a man in pain. God knows you cannot need me. What have I to offer-I that am as bankrupt of fortune as of honor?"
 Do women love men for what they bring" she asked him.
 He looked at her steadily now, a man redeemed, driven back into the hard ways of honor by the scourge of all that had befallen him.
 Abruptly he swung on his heel, and left her, so abruptly, indeed, that his departure took her by surprise, found her without a word in which to stay him.

Art Club Issues C at a logue Tor ss, Coming Season

Broad and comprehensive is the pro- gram of the Birmingham Art club which has just been issued from the press. The club will be addressed from time to time on current achievements In portraiture, in landscape, mural . decoration and other phases by local artists whose fame is broad, for talks at many of the winter meetings give prom ise of one of the most valuable sea- sons the organization has ever had.
 The first meeting of the club will be held October 4 with Mrs. c. B. Rat Tiff. MT. Frank Hartley Anderson is expected to give a talk on Woodcuts, Etchings and Engravings; and mem bers will also receive at this meet ing, inspiration from Mrs. J. A. Mont gomerys discussion of Current Art News. Current Art News will, in fact, be a feature of almost every meeting of the year, this plan keeping Bir- minghams group of artists in touch with the work of their fellow painters and engravers throughout the world.
 Every month, until the final session on May when Mrs. James Downey will be hostess, the club will hear a talk from some member of visiting person.
 Mir. H. H. Hawkins talk on mural decoration is one of the features giving promise of especial interest in view of the many lovely buildings now being constructed in Birmingham and the i'm terest of beauty lovers here in every thing that may add to the charm of their homes. The same may be said of MT. A. A. Halsted's subject, Ideas in Interior Decoration" which is to be the principal topic on the program when Mrs. B. A. Monaghan entertains the artists in the winter.
 Modern stage decoration is a subject especially interesting to artists, all of whom realize the great change that has taken place in this feature of the ntricai production within the last few years.
 Mir. Bernard Szold has been assigned this subject for his address before the club. The remaining programs embody other and varied plans, including an "All Artists Ball' which is merely hinted but which promises a charming and colorful incident in the winter gay cities. The program reflects great credit upon the committee, inSluding Mrs. Lenore Eldred, Miss Della Dryer and Miss Willie Mclaughlin, who arranged it.
 Mrs. J. F. Carle is the president of the Birmingham Art club. Miss Della Dryer, vice president, Miss Sara Neill, secretary and Mrs. E. c. Horton, treas urer.
