saw that Pullinger did not turn
around and, consequently, could
not have seen him. But, on the
other side, he seemed to change
his mind, and turned down the
same street, but on the opposite
pavement to the man he was fol-
lowing.

said Prescott to himself, as they
crossed St. Giles Circus.
He was right: His quarry led
him along New Compton street,
then left, right ard left. Prescott
still was on the opposite side OF
the street, but as Pullinger drew
level with a public house he also
crossed the road, paused to look
at the name of the pub, and theh
recrossed and entered the saloon;
Prescott crossed also, ana
strolled past the doors OF the Sd
loon. AS they opened to let some
one out he saw that the place was
fairly crowded inside. SO, without
further hesitation, he entered IN

ger of inflicting infection in even
the most trivial eye injury.
The installation of exhaust sys-
TENS to draw off poisonous gases
and dusts which are injurious to
the eyes, ventilation and air-con-
ditioning are also notable improve
ments.
Industrial lighting has become
an expert field of applied science.
This has contributed to sight con-
servation and to the general health
of the worker by preventing con-
ditions that result from eye strain.
A study was made of the en-
ployees of two New York City post
ofices-one modern and well illu-
minated, the other old and with in
adequate lighting. The contrasts
were often so striking as to strain
credulity. In the well-lighted office
IL per cent of the employees were
found to have inhammatory or If
ritative conditions of the eyes or
eyelids; 81 per cent in the poorly
lighted office. In the well-lighted
office % per cent had ocular muscle
unbalance, in the ill-lighted office
33 per cent.

in the poorly-lighted post office

wed better go along and see to
it, right away"
An educated, cultured voice,
with very clear diction. Prescott
inclined more strongly to the &C
tress theory, and felt all the bet
ter for being able to do so.
The two finished their drinks,
and moved toward the outer door.
Prcscott's quick eyes had already
noted an inner one, which led to
the lavatory, via a passage into
which other bars opened.
He made for this, and finally
emerged from the door of the prl-
vate bar adjoining, just as a taxi
drew up to the curb where the two
were standing, not a couple OF
yards away from him.
He heard the man give the driV-
| err MS QlreCllollo.
"Brixton road. Stop at the cor
ner of Angel road!" He spoke al
most perfect English, but so care
fully as to suggest the foreigner.
"Angel road?" queried the driV-
er. That's by the White Horse
isn't it,"
The man hesitated and looked
inuuiringly at the girl. Evidently
he didn't know the geography OF
the Brixton road, but he anticlpat-
ed that she would.
"Just past it," she said brleny..
They got in and drove off, with
out glance in the direction OF
Prescott. A bit of luck, hearing
their destination like that-saVed
a lot of trouble.
Prescott walked quickly along
the street, surveying the empty
taXis he encountered with a criti-
cal eye. At last he saw the one ne
wanted, and hailed it.
Corner of Angel road, BriXton
road" he directed. "And double
fare if you break all records"
"sez you" said the driver, who
was a youngish man. "You just
watch me splinter 'em!

noticed the maneuvers of his driv-

eIF LET ALONE by the power
politicians and war-mongers, the
world would move forward. One
little field in which improvement
has been so rapid as to have en-
tirely changed the picture in a
quarter of a century was called to
my attention by a worker who has
devoted his life to it's development.
That is the field of eye conserva-
ton in industrial occupations.
He cites the improvements as
follows:
First in Importance, he says,
there are far fewer amateur shop

picks, matches, pocket-knives, files,

as in the wcll-illuminated post Of
flee. What was true in these two
offices is undoubtedly applicable to
all industry. Frank Gilbreth, one
of the earliest students of fatigue
in industry, said, "No fatigue is
more wearing than eye fatigue"
Eye infections are greatly re-
duced by having sanitary wash
rooms. The roller towel has long
ago been legislated out of exist
ence. The common towel is even .
greater carrier of eye infection
than the common goggles.
There are many remaining prob
lens in eye conservation in indus
try-the most pressing being the
hazard of the growing use of poi
sonous chemicals. But, as l said
above, the whole picture Is
changed from the callous indiffer-
ence that was displayed by en-
ployers to these conditions a scant
quarter-century ago.

For Suffering Women

Much of women's periodic dis
tress may be unnecessary!
Many who suffer from headaches,
nervousness, cramp-like pain, other
symptoms Of functional dysmenor-
rhea due to malnutrition are helped
by CARDUI.
Main way it helps relieve periodic
distress is by Increasing appetite
and flow of gastric juice. Thus it
often aids digestion; helps build
strength, energy, resistance to
periodic disturbances.
Others find help for periodic dis.
comfort this way: Start a few days
before and take CARDUI until "the
time" has passed. Women have
rsei CARDUI more than so years.
