AN INTERVIEW
 0V THE EYES

Dr. J. w. Edmunds, one of the leading optometrists and eye spec ialists of Seattle for the past 21 years, on this his fourth trip to Seward was asked to tell us some thing of interest about the eyes, which are so little understood by the general public, to which he re- piled: Tt is a pleasure to me to have this opportunity of discussing so important subject and I shall endeavor to use as few technical terms as possible so the interested readers will understand. The aver age eye is no more perfectly fom- ed than the average person is per- feet in all measurements. The fact is that few eyes even approach an approximate normality of per  lection and there no two eyes ex- actly alike in the whole world, but the eye is the only organ of the body that can overcome it's own defect of malformation, by accom- modation or strain and use of the ciliary or interior muscles, to pro- duce vision at the expense of an strain and use of an ex- cess of nervous energy or nerve force stored up in the cerebellum or gray matter at the base of the brain, which serves as the storage battery of the nerve force for the

whole nervous system. Now,

whole nervous system. Now, the normal eyes use approximately ten per cent of the entire nerve force of the body, just looking casually into distance, but abnormally shap- ed eyes, even for distance vision (and the strain is usually more for reading) can use as much as forty per cent of the entire nerve force of the body, (above the normal ten per cent) thereby robbing of ner- vous energy every other function of the body, viZ-affecting the vi tality of the brain, heart stomach, liver, kidneys, the circulation of the blod, producing nervousness, lack of mental concentration, loss of memory and in some cases even insanity, to say nothing of head aches, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous prostration and premature old age.
 If young people could only real ize that eye strain makes them in- efficient with a premature, wrink- led old age, they would not hesi- tate to keep the eyes efficient and at rest, but also the whole facial expression at rest.
 Now let us think of the two eyes as two photographic cameras point ing at the same object in the same instant of time, producing a micro scopic, detailed, photographic image upside down on the Retina, or in- terior back wall of each eye, an image about as large as the lead of a lead pencil sensitizing tens of thousands of optic nerve end- ings in each eye and these two photographic images with their in- fnitely fine details, are carried to the central commissure of the brain along the optic nerves and these two photographs impressions must absolutely coincide and become one, single, clear-cut image; otherwise the patient would have dOuble-vis- ion or blurred vision or serious muscular deviation of the eyes, which is often the case. The writer has had the keenest pleasure and interest for the past twenty-five years in specializing in the straight ening of crossed eyes, or deviating eyes, with glasses only and was the first practitioner on the Pacific coast to introduce the Dr. E. H. Hagen system of muscular duction development which overcomes eye deviations' or muscular asthenopia. Now bear in mind that the optic nerve is bundle of 500 nerves (within tube or sheath branch

furnishing an abundant supply OF
hot water at a moments notice, is
readily seen.
Home heating with gas is being
introduced here generally for the
first time this fall. The price
charged for gas for heating pur-
poses compares very favorably with
coal for home heating. Of course,
comparing gas with any other fuel
from standpoint of convenience is
impossible. Heat is there the in
stant it is wanted, there is no la
Dor at all involved other than the
striking Of a match, no kindling
to carry, no coal or wood, no shak-
ing down the CRATE and carrying out
ashes, no SCOT or worry. Housewives
appreciate this saving of time and
trouble for many more reasons
than these listed above, one being
the lack of drudgery in spring
housecleaning with curtains and
walls unstained from sooty coal
fires.
By eliminating these worries, gas
makes for a more contented and
more evenly regulated home life,
with less toll, and with more time
to enjoy life in the pursuit of pleas
ure or useful study.
In the commercial field gas has
it's place also. The Federal Bak-
cry Of Winslow uses gas for their

the interest on the bond issue.
The improvement in the service
and an advertising campaign has
resulted in 20 per cent increase
in gas consumption in the eight
months the new plant has been in
operation. This increase, togeth-
er with the many operation econ
omies perfected through the mod
ern equipment in the new plant has
put the gas department on self
supporting basis.
The new plant has a heavy load
to carry, for it is carrying the in
terest and the sinking fund charges
on the $42,O0000 bond issues of the
old plant, in addition to similar
burdens from the $4,000 issue nee
essary to build the new plant.
The council considers that the
people have responded admirably
to their appeal for the fullest sup
port of the gas department. More
cooking lis being done with gas to-
day than ever gefore in WinsloW
Practically every new range install
led has gas combination. This
is to be expected, for gas is a labor
saver, and is always there when
wanted, an example of the progress
sive and convenient age in which
we live. A great many water heat
ers have been installed lately, for
the convenience of these appliances,

to as good shape as possible. He
also improved the service consid-
erably and practically doubled the
number of consumers on the lines.
Still the service was undepend-
able and the process of making and
delivering gas so costly that the
plant could not earn enough to
meet running expenses. Therefore,
in the fall of 1924 the council start
ed Investigating the possibilities of
rebuilding the plant.
This eliminated in the voting of
a $4,000 bond issue, with which a
new gas plant and $4,000 cubic
foot capacity gas holder was built.
Contracts were Immediately let,
and the work rushed as much as
possible, for the old plant was in
very poor shape and no repairs
could have been made without a
complete shutdown for several
weeks.
The equipment Of the new plant
consisted of one 250,000 foot capac-
ity straight shot, down draft gen
orator, two 20 foot water scrubbers,
one shaVings purifier, one oxide
purifier, one oil scrubber, one 80
horsepower steam boiler, one 5000
cubic foot gas booster, one gas eX-
hauster, one blower, several new
oil and water pumps, and the big
holder. The machinery is all hous-
ed in a modern brick building ad-
jacent to the old plant.
The new plant was placed in SER
vice on January 18th, of this year,
and a gas service equal to that of
any city has been enjoyed since
that time.
After the new plant was placed
in service the old plant was shut
down, and the much needed repairs
have gradually been made, until it
is now ready for use in case of
emergency. The old and dilapidat-
ed holder was repaired and is now
being used as a relief holder. With
the facilities of the two plants
there is no possibility of an inter
ruption in the gas service.
Many economies have been per-
fected in the operation of the new
plant. The use of coal was elm
mated and lampblack and tar sub
stituted, resulting in a saving of
about $3,000.00 per year. The lamp
black and tar used are by-pro-
ducts of the plant, which before
were practically a total loss, as the
old boiler would not burn the lamp
black. Through the use of concrete
settling basins and concrete res
ervoir for the storage of water so
that it could be used time after
time, saving of about $500.00 a
year was made. The new genera
tors make gas on about 20 per cent
less oil than the old ones used.
In all, savings amounting to al
most $4,000 year have been made.
These savings alone more than pay
