Brown and Hargrave attempted
to loosen the teeth. They worked

COnSultantS Despair
Army specialists decided to call
upon outside aid, and DR.. James

called into consultation. DR..
Mitchell agreed with the Army
physicians that an operation at
that time was out of the question.
The only hope lay in building
up the patients physical condi-

remain alive until an operation
could be performed. Two physi-
clans. including the chief sur
geon at the hospital; two or
derlies and several nurses spent
the night beside Nelson. They
sought any method which would
give the patient relief.
Frequently through the night
Nelson called feebly for water.
Again and again he begged for
air, asking that windows be
opened. The first evidences of
septic poisoning in the. affected
area were found by the physi-
clans and then it became appar-

a few hours away.

Franklin turned his ankle.
He was unaware of the in

Eye Hygiene

Dear as are the apples of our
eyes, we usually forget to give
them care, expecting them to per-
form, with overstrain perhaps, as
diligently and subconsciously as
does the heart. But the eye needs
more than that. 1t needs conscious
exercise. Occulists tell us that
much can be accomplished to
strengthen weak eyes or to rest
tired ones by simple exercises,
regularly and faithfully perform
I ed.
Most of us pore too necessarily
over close work, sewing or read
ing or doing clerical work. When
the eyes begin to smart or ache,
it would help greatly to close them
for moment, then open them and
focus them on distant objects. Do
not stare too long at any object.
Blink the eyes and roll them
around, looking first at one object
and then another. Wash them daily
in weak solution of salt water,
or weak boric acid solution.
But if you are going to wink
to rest the eyes-be careful who is
about to catch you at it.

Fashion, Fads, Foibles

Cotton tweed, cotton velvet,
cotton shantung, cotton silk, or
rayon, are the materials of the
hour. Linen is about as popular;
but summer silks are not out" by
any means. They will continue as
good stand-bys.
White cotton pique has become
so fashionable that a black silk
crepe evening dress has the neck
and armholes bound with it. An
other seemingly incongruity is the
patent leather belt on an evening
dress.
Pajamas, both for boudoir and
beach, continue to grow wider and
wider at the hem line. They are
worn with jacket of contrast
ing color. One might as well wear
out her clothes as fast as possible
these days, for fashion changes SO
rapidly they will soon be out of
style, if hung away in the closet
and saved"
Divided skirts TO reports and
indoor wear are being introduced
Whether they will become gener-
ally adopted remains to be seen.
One style is to hide the dividing
line by a panel down the back, so
that the divided effect is only
evident in front. The general eff
feet is feminine and graceful and
not nearly as mannish as the
knickers women wore few years
ago.

Gradually many tasks of house

In spite of the fact that SO
