II believe the public would be

Higher rates, he explained

in the eye, that is, at:the right spot to
give perfect vision.
What is astigmatism?
The word means that there Is not
the single point at which the image Is
refiected on the nerve endings, but the
rays come In unevenly. This Is why the
person with astigmatisn sees little lines
about the margins Of the letters OF the
words he Is reading.
This is caused by the fact that the
outer glass-like covering Of the eye,
which fits over 1t like a watch glass, Is
not absolutely true or perfect, just as
your watch glass may have some parts
more curved than others. Naturally,
the rays of light, coming In where
some parts are more curved than
others, do not come in evenly and focus
at the central point.
Having astigmatism doesn't mean
that you have weak eyes, but 1t does
mean that you should have glasses that
will make up for these little differences
In the curvature of the lens, If you are
to have good vision and be free from
the headaches or tiredneSS of the eyes
which is so often due to astigmatism.
Your eyes are worth much to you
at any stage in life, and If you want
to have them give you good service and
be free from strain. you can't afford to
have short sightedness or astigmatism

SPRINGTIME
Caddis Flies.
BY D. C. PEATTIE.

CaQQlS ElleS.
~ N any Spring day when you
are walking beside a brook.
or what in the native poetry
~ Of country folk hereabouts is
called run" you will almost
see, awash upon the little wild sandy
or gravelly strands of the miniature
Mississippi, the four-square house of
a caddis fly. Many insects make them
selves structures from secretions of their
own body, such as the silk" of the
cocoon. and the paper" of hornets
nest. But few are the creatures (below
the rank of birds) that take absolutely
foreign materials such as little twigs
and stones, straw, leaves, or even bits
of snail SHE'LL and make them house
OF 1t, having definite architectural
form. The whole of the caddis f1y's
house Is bound together. of course, with
warp of its own silk" but what is
remarkable is that the caddis fly
usually constructs something SO resu-
lar in the way of house. The figures
ere neatly geometrical, and, what is
stranger still. the materials uSsd are
almost always the same. A given
species builds out of the materials ira
ditional in his family branch, ignoring
all others.
Around the District we have no less
than 81 species of this order OF in
sects; the houses are seen only in
Spring, as a rule, for 1t is the little
aquatic grub that dwells in them.
When the time comes for the adult to
emerge, the cramping domicile must be
abandoned for the air.
The adult Is usually unattractive.
Somber brown and striped, it Is al
ways found in the vicinity Of r,Sh
water. except sometimes at night, when
the electric lights have a fatal attrac-
ton. 1t is a small. weak flying, moth
like and downy creature, seldom sen
on the wing unless disturbed.
Itsis really the grub inside his little
vernal house that interests me. Ev, n
the grub is not the first stage. Back
of that was the larval insect in the
eggs that drift about in the water,
enveloped in a sort of cloud of glue.
The grub is far more active than the
adult. which has a weak mouth. and
practically no antennae or feelerS,
while the small fellow is perpetually
active, even when not building. in hunt
ing and eating. Once inside the house,
life is more quiet for a while. but fresh
water is perpetually being swept
through the house by the grub, and
some species even construct silken
seines in which to catch passing food
The real Importance of caddis flies
to man is that they serve as food for
brook trout. being perhaps the favorite
morsels of these lovely fish. Brook
trout are found as near the city as
Difficult Run, but all the trout streams
of this part of the country are now
almost fished out. However, the fewer
trout, the more caddis flies These
clever little insects may outlive the
human race on this planet, since they
were here long before us. Many ex-
amples are found. perfectly preserved.

Foods Which Flatter Each Other
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

meat" The homemaker who sets a
good table learns what to serve so that
one dish may ''fiatter" another. Let us
mention. today, some dishes which
''flatter" each other.
Cranberry sauce flatters chicken,
caper sauce does the same to mutton.
and applesauce does that to roast pork.
duck and goose. Cabbage flattsrs boiled
corn beef, baked macaroni and cheese
do the same to roast beef, and in Eng
land Yorkshire pudding is the accepted
calad is correct with chicken, goose and
other roast birds
To Europeans, salad signifies
dressed lettuce or other salad greens
with. possibly, the addition of little
chopped b:et root or tomato slices.
Other salads they have, but these have
descriptive designations. Salad. as an
accompaniment to f1atter roast birds,
is plain unless otherwise specified. The
salad is served with the birds as nat
urally and regularly as are potatoes or
other vegetables. :
Turnip is recognized accompani-
ment Of corned beef 1t is also excel
lent with lamb. Sweet potatoes are
preferable to white with ham. Pine
apple flatters ham. In India, ripe pine
of ham. which is then baked or cooked
in similar way. The juice extracted
by the heat percolates through the
meat, giving it delicious flavor. Ham
81 cooked is reputed to be especially
digestible.
Whipped cream flatters many des-
sertS which are complete without this
dainty addition. 1t goes with cold des-
serts especially, even topping some ice
creams. Meringue belongs in the same
class with whipped cream. 1t can be
used interchangeably in many in
stances. although, since it is more
tasty when delicately Drowned, it be-
longs peculiarly to baked and even hot
dishes. When on frozen desserts a hot
iron is held above the piled meringue,
so that it. alone, gets the force of the
intense heat. Ices with Drowned
meringue tops are epicurean dishes.
A food which flatters another must
be something apart from the dish it
self. That is, it may be a separate food
served as complement to it, or it may
be an addition to a dish itself. which,
however, could be served without it.

LITTLE BENNY

This morning I was wawking to

I felt something hooking against the

my puppy Junior, proving he had prob
erly got out without me noticing him
when I opened the front door. Giving

got out and followed me enough times
he'd make me late for school and it
wouldn't be my fault and maybe ma
would leave me stay home this morn
ing to keep me from being late.
And I picked up Junior and carried
him back to the house and put him
in. saying, Now you stay there, do you
hear?
And I left the front door open a
crack and started to wawk to school
again, and pritty soon sure enough
Junior came running after me again.
and I carried him back and put him
again, are you trying to make me late
for school, what's a matter with you?
And l left the door open a even
smaller crack, taking Junior SO long to
get it open I was pritty neer up at the
corner before he cawt up to me, and
carried him back again and left pritty
wide of a crack SO as not to discourage
him too much, and got all a ways to
the corner and he wasn't out yet, and
7 waited here a while and then I went
back to see, and I looked in and here
he was asleep in the hall on account of
rroberly being all tired out. and just
then ma saw me from tie dining room
saying. Well of all things. have you
any ideer of the time for land sakes?
Yes mann. I'm proberly late already
and G wizzikers it's this dogs fault
for following me, I said. The door

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPROwLs.
Nature of Your Mind.

There are thousands Of gateWays 10
the mind. The best known ones are
seeing. hearing, touching. smelling and
tasting. Through these gateways come
surging vast throngs OF experiences
which we call information.
When you compare one bit OF IN
formation with another, you create what
are called ideas. These ideas are al
ways personal in nature. 1t is impos-
sible to pass your ideas on to some other
person; just as impossible as it IS for
YOU to get some one to do your seeing
and hearing for you.
The only mind you really know much
about is your own mind. There Is no
such thing as mind reading. Ycu may,
of course gain little knowledge OF
anothers mind by observing his actions.
But in that case you are merely rea-
soning by analogy. You are comparing
what you see going on with what you
feel you would do under the same cir
cumstances. II you see some one doing
something you can't explain on the
basis of your cwn ideas, you have .
psychological problem on your hands.
. 1t is this lack of understanding that
created the science of psychology. 1t
tock the men of science hundreds OF
years to learn the meaning of mind.
Psychology became a science when men
turned their attention to the observa-
ton and comparison of activities. Your
mind offers your temporary possibilities
for action.
