many specialists in the diseases of
the eye feel that in any early stage
of measles it is inadvisable to use
long continued cold or ice-cold ap-
plications and to exclude the light
for too long a period.
Because the child is in bed, and
is a little restless and anxious to
be amused, parents often overcharge
his weak eye muscles by giving him
books and toys that permit him to
use his eyes at close range.
The use of the eyes for close
vision should be minimized and
fond aunts, uncles and friends
should be prevented from overload
ing the sick child with temptations
in the way of books, toys and
that will encourage him to
use his eyes more than is usual.

THE HARDER THEY FALL'

A short time ago we printed an editorial which pointed a warning against investing money through the solicitation of unknown persons. doubtful concerns, and so forth. How thoroughly justified the warn- ing was can be glimpsed from the latest fraud that has startled Massa- chusetts, and no less a parsonage than President Lawrence Lowell of Harvard University got mulcted of ule tidy sum of s7o,oo0.
 The higher they fly the harder they fall' is an axiom that can be | interpreted in various ways. In this | instance it can be read to mean that the wiser a man thinks he is and the less he thinks himself in need of ad- viee from lesser mortals. the more he is likely 10 lose.
 President Lowell was not the only | wise man WnO took a fraud SerlOuS- i ly. 4 missionary. who is not suppos- ed to have much money, got nipped for 5000: other men of wisdom got bunked heavily also.

 As mayor of Meriden and later as congressman Tom Reilly achieved high prominence and success.

There was once upon a time a colored boy, very big for his age, and who spent so much money his poor parents called him Giant, the Jack Killer.

 Fee, Fi, Fo, Fun! I smell the bones of an Englishman.'
 But Giant. the Jack Killer was not afraid, but answered:
 Take gool smell of 'em biz boy. and hear 'em cackle before All throws sebcn."

THE, SUGAR TARIFF

Much as we like to protect in- dustry, we don't protect potential ly important industry for the simple reason that it would raise the price of the product to consumers. Seems strange, doesn't it?
 This refers. of course. to the beet sugar industry. The raisers have to compete with Cuban sugar which is permitted to enter the country at hundred pounds Cuban raw. Cane tariff rate of less than two cents a sugar also enters from Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines, but It, tie in comparison with that grown in Cuba.
 At present the beet sugar indus- try in the United States yields $10o.- GOO. .ooo annually. But 1G,o0o,oo0 acres of farm lands in this country could be devoted to beet sugar pro-  duction.
 But it costs more 10 manufacture American beet sugar than Cuban cane sugar and if the duty were made high the price to American consumers would go up and Cuba would be ruined economically The price of sugar is one of the few ! basic commodities that has not been increased in proportion to other in- creases. This is due to the cheap source of supply.
 Though demands that in" beet sugar industry be adequately pro, tected is an important local issue 1T such sections of the country where sugar bects are grown, the admins tration is unwilling to increase ths price of sugar. which would be re scented by millions of consumers especially lHe Houee"Nea. " llSil'N'I an effort has been made by the bee sugar interests to wboop up 1nt@f"s in hIgh prot, ctive rate on suga the howl by the Democrats has b"c1 enough 10 keep it down. \ hiel tariff on some things may suit in ma iority. although the effect IS in same as il would be in inc case 0
