The following interesting points about diseases common among farmers are taken from the current issue of Farm and Fireside: "Many farmers suffer from photophobia, a sensitiveness to light. This is caused by the reflection of sunlight on the ground and the strain thrown on the eyes in an effort to overcome the sensitiveness of adjusting the lenses of the eyes. “Bathing the eyes with hot water several times every morning, and rubbing the forehead above the eyes in a circular motion with the fingers, will relieve photophobia in. many cases.” What is undoubtedly the finest municipal stadium in this country has recently been completed at San Diego, Cal. It is beautifully situated in n natural canon in full view of the day, which is approximately a mile distant. Twenty-five tiers of concrete seats, which furnish accommodations for arproximately 30.000 persons, encircle a tablelike athletic field, 621 ft. In length and 287 ft. broad, which is skirted by a quarter-mile track. The top row of seats is 39 ft above the arena and is margined by a broad walk from which access is given to the several entrances. The ground this point is level and extends back for some distance, providing ample parking space for hundreds of motor cars and giving their occupants an excellent view of the field.
