Chicago June 20 — No one can
go into our schools or meet a
group of children on the street
without noticing how large a number
of them wear spectacles The propor
tion seems to increase yearly and
there are many more who ought to
wear glasses The experience of one
teacher might be duplicated by the
score She knew Alice was inatten
tive and she thought she was unusual-
ly stupid She said so to the principal
and sent a note to the mother' re
questing that the child be helped at
home if she wished her to keep up
with her class One day after a black-
board explanation the teacher called
upon the child and found that she
bad not seen what had been written
She was kept after school and by dint
of much sympathetic questioning Miss
C found that Alice had never been
able tosee what was put on the board
and that her head had ached so often
and so hard that she frequently failed
to hear what was said
The executive committee of the

lack of proper food but in our Ameri-
can homes it is usually due to the
poor quality of the artificial light The
yellow Insufficient light of the ordi-
nary kerosene lamp with its smoky
chimney is about as bad for the eyes
as can be imagined The flickering
light from a coal gas jet is but little
better and even the electric light
brilliant as it usually is lias an un-
steadiness due to variations in power
and a glare peculiarly trying to the
delicate nerves of sight The compar-
atively new illuminant acetylene gas
produces as nearly perfect an artificial
light as has yet been found It gives
a clear white unwavering light very
brilliant yet perfectly soft and so
nearly like tlie rays of the sun that
even colors appear as in daylight
Fortunately acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced and the simple
a- mralus necessary can he purchased
and installed in any home at a very
moderate cost and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where a light is needed It is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas
Acetylene is rapidly coming iDto
common use in homes churches
schools and institutions of all kinds
and it is reasonable to expect that as
its use in the home increases there
will be fewer defective eyes particu-
larly among children Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant

wash away a large part of one of his
farms Joe Fuhring of Union brought

Rock Island a few months ago and

Farmers Are Recovering — The lin-
ers in the hail storm district are

set they received Many have helped
them by donations of seed groceries

there is a good chance that they will
yet raise a fair crop

sort of web-worm
At the conference of the managers
of the New York Central Lines held
In New Y’ork June 6th all lines be-
ing represented by their General
Managers and Passenger officials it
was decided beginning with the regu-
lar summer change Sunday June
18th to quicken the speed cf the
“Twentieth Century Limited” so as
to make the time between New York
and Chicago eighteen hours instead of
twenty hours the Mew York Central
Lines having made the twenty hour
time during the past three years and
having also made the run between
New York and Chicago in twenty
hours with their “Exposition Flyer"
for the one hundred and eighty days
of the Columbian Exposition in Chi-
cago in 1893 twelve years ago
The New York Central Lines make
the point that the New York Central
has had in service the “Empire State
Express” which has been the fastest
train in the world for its distance
440 miles for fourteen years having
held the world’s record for that time
and for three years and ISO days hav-
ing held the world’s record for a
thousand mile train In twenty hours
The proposed schedule of eighteen
hours is simply the extension of the
time cf the “Empire State Express’’
through from Buffalo to Chicago the
time having been made for fourteen
years between New York and Buffalo
On this new schedule the train will
leave Chicago at 2:30 p m arriving
Grand Central Station New Yor
at 9:30 next morning and returning
will leave New Y’ork 3:30 p m reach-
ing Chicago 8:30 a m following day
At the same time the “Lake Shore
Limited” will be quickened up an
hour and will make the time frQm
Chicago to New York in 23 hours in-
stead of 24 leaving Chicago 5:30 p
m by the Lake Shore and arriving
New York 5:30 p m by the New
York Central ’
The ‘‘Southwestern Limited” train
No 11 which now leaves Grand Cen-
tral station at 1 p m will beginning

Mass meetings for the seleetion of sold
delegates and alternates shall meet at tho
hour of 2 p m on the date suggested at
the county seats in Oklahoma and at the
recording court towns in said recording
districts of Indian Territory
The purposes of this convention are
two-fold: First to give expression to
the will nnd wishes oi Hie people of the
twin territories as to statehood legisla-
tion for us and in the second place to
get the American congress to provide for
the admission of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory to statehood nt once without
regard or reference to other territories of
the United ates U he people of Okla-
homa and Indian Territory are particu-
larly called upon by the present exigency
of our situation to resist "entangling al-
liances” made possible by tne desire and
insistence of other teiritories to be ad-
mitted into the union Rut in this mat-
ter our duty begins and ends at home
The boon of American citizenship under
state government s worth our best en-
deavor i' he demand is pressing upon us
to make every possible sacrifice and use
all honorable means we can to reap the
blessings of statehood The rights and
privileges therein vouchsafed are none
the less deserved or desired because so
long denied to ns and lo our children
who growing here are now fast coming
to man's estate have never yet known
ano enjoyed them
Measured hy every standard Oklahoma
and Indian Territory say we are entitled
to Immediate statehood The coming
campaign will try us in the eyes of con
gross first upon tne ten of whether we
mean what we say and last whether we
deserve what we say we so much desire

the wall of the abdomen — without the
ravest hesitation and foreboding
This delicate lining always quickly
and acutely resented interference by
becoming inflamed and in nine cases
out of ten death was certain Today
the surgeon will pierce this wall with-K
out compunction because by the usefO 'i
of antiseptics he is able except in$5j
mucj
rare cases to keep it free from all in-
jurious interference By the use of
antiseptics too wounds heal
more quickly In the old days an
amputated limb meant six weeks in
bed and constant changes of dressing
Now it only means confinement for
a fortnight with one change of dress-
ing The surgeon does not need to
take off the bandages “just to see that
it is going all right He can ascer-
tain all that he wants to know from
the temperature and pulse of the patient

A conscientious hard-working and
eminently successful clergyman
writes: “I am glad to bear testimony
to the pleasure and increased meas-
ure of efficiency and health that have
come to me from adopting Grape-Nut
food as one of my articles of diet
“For several years 1 was much dis-l
tressed during the early part of each
day by indigestion My breakfast
usually consisting of oatmeal milk'
and eggs seemed to turn sour andj
failed to digest After dinner the
headache and other symptoms follow-
ing the breakfast would wear away
only to return however next morn-
ing "Having beard of Grape-Nuts food
I finally concluded to give it a fair
trial I quit the use of oatmeal and
eggs and made my breakfasts' oi
Grape-Nuts cream toast and Fostum
The result was surprising in improv-
ed health and total absence of the
distress that had for so long a time
followed the morning meal My diges-j
tion became once more satisfactory!
the headaches ceased and the old
feeling of energy returned Since that
time four years ago I have always
bad Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast
table
"I was delighted to find also that
whereas before I began to use Grape-
Nuts food I was quite nervous and be
came easily wearied in the work oft
preparing sermons and n study a!
marked improvement in this respect!
resulted from the change in my diet
I am convinced that Grape-Nuts food'
produced this result and helped me
to a sturdy condition of mental and
physical strength

who were formerly troubled as I was
and who have been helped as I have
been by the use of Grape-Nuts food

may be mentioned the Rev
