die a natural death, and not allow It to - live, and by missad venture 1 of senseless marriage laws, marry and
reproduce Its kind."
Omnipotent Creative Wisdom or God, never created laws that . would devel
op a deformed, defective and sickly child, or a grown up, for that matter. Man himself makes sickness, sin and
death, and then blames It on God. Ever since Adam ate the forbidden fruit and blamed Eve. and she blamed it on the devil, It has been the world's solace to blame It on the "other fellow.Nature Does Best. All forms of defective children, socalled "monstrosities." are in reality arrested development; children : are often born minus a limb, foot, hand ; the Vital-force or soul running out of proper; materials, will finish off the stump much more perfect than the surgeon. Or, if parents, one or both, have furnished bad stuff, the child will be physically - and mentally defective; nevertheless, so-called "nature" in all cases, loyally and faithfully does the very best possible with the materials at hand. The new-born child whether rich or poor, high or low. as it comes fresh from that mighty builder, the vital-force or soul, is perfect If the parents have normally developed and healthy bodies. Bertillion measurements of high-born and of low-born infants, will show absolutely no difference if other conditions of growth and development before birth have been adequate. Eugenics, after obtaining sane marriage laws, will through a commission of expert scientists, critically examine all new-born infants (accidents and Infective diseases occurring later In childhood and also physical deformities not considered, as the new-born child has all the nurons and brain cells that it will ever have, and defectives of this kind can never be cured by surgical operations) -will determine the possibility or impossibility, of any remedial measures, and act accordingly under the authority of efficient Eugenic legal statutes, a maudlin "humanltarlanism" to the contrary notwithstanding.

When we reached Waterloo bridge the river Thames was red from the reflection of the fire. The home of St. Paul's Cathedral with smoke clouds drifting around it could be seen against the fire. When I reached St. Paul's churchyard the light of the fire and the smoke made such a perfect imitation of twilight that I could not help feeling that it was early morning. The fire which was about a quarter of a mile from the Cathedral was the largest I ever saw and burned until late the next day. The soldiers were holding recruiting meetings in the light of it at 2 o'clock in the morning. There were many similar fires throughout London and newspapers in speaking of the raid said: , "Several fires were started but they were all promptly extinguished." And eo they were after raging fiercely for several hours and doing several thousands of pounds damage. That same night a bemb struck a motorbus completely destroying it. None of the passengers could be Identified and the driver was never found at all. The Zeppelins come nearly every night.

McKinley had nothing to do with Instigating the public criticism heaped upon Clem. He was too busy perfroming the duties of the dual office of inspector of weights and measures and market master, work which, if properly performed, requires the constant attention of the official In charge of it. Although Clem, when appointed to the office of dairy inspector at a salary of $1,000 a year, was expected to perform, in addition, the duties of city food inspector as his two predecessors had done, Stewart and Flook. he neglected this important work and when this fact became public Mayor Jtobbins, in defense of Clem. at. once asserted that Clem had never been expected to do anything except inspect dairies and dairy products' establishments. , "' Gives Further Duties. . At the same time the mayor, ordered that in the future McKinley would be expected to conduct food inspections in the district . south of Main street, and Clem was assigned to the work of making food inspections in the district north of Main street. McKinley accepted this additional work without complaint and has been performing it in the district he was assigned to as thoroughly as be has
always carried out the duties of bis two other offioas. On the other hand Clem baa ' practically conducted no food inspections in the district ha was Wtgn.adto.rj : Ci .-.. r vFor this neglect of duty, on the part of Clem and the painstaking observance Qf .duty..ontha-art of Mcglnley, the former baa Just been rewarded and the latter punished. Last .Friday McKinley was notified that Clem had been - relieved 4 of the duty of conducting food inspections in the district north , of Main street and that he (McKinley) from that'tlme on would be expected to conduct food Inspections throughout the city, although it Is generally believed that the mayor and the health officer, were Acquainted with the fact that It would require all of McKinley's time to properly perform the duties of either food inspector or weights and measures Inspector. Salary Remains Same. . In relieving Clem of all work except the inspection of dairies (which he has not found so arduous that he cannot engage .in private veterinarian practice) his' salary of $1,000 a year has not been reduced. On the other band McKinley's salary of $720 a year has not been increaterd by doubling his duties. After the first of January, however, McKinley will receive a sal
ary of $840 per year, but this increase
was authorized by. council, last. September before there was any inkling of the plot of the mayor and his health officer against one of the city's most faithful public servants. When McKinley was summoned to Health Officer Smehir's office last Friday he was ordered to inspect a business place 'north of Main street. McKinley inquired if it would - not be Clem's duty to make this inspection. "Wny, haven't you been told; you are now expected to conduct food inspections all over the city," the health officer answered. McKinley remarked
that this was' the first 'notice he had received of the. Increase la the scope of his activities, it 1s understood that Clem was, at- first assigned to make the Inspection of the. establishment complained of but refused to do it "
WHY. EYESIGHT FAILS ."..--;.- By a. Specialist " ; ' Poor sight and bad teeth are due to the same cause.-neglect. We neglect our teeth and they decay; we neglect our eyes and our sight grows dim. Most people know how to preserve their teeth but few know what to do for their eyes. - Some who carefully clean , their , teeth do nothing to help their eyes carry the awful strain put upon them by modern life. Our eyes need care and if we refuse to give it to them we pay the penalty in suffering and poor eyesight. A soothing, cleansing, healing lotion for the eyes that 99 out of a hundred should use twice a day or oftener is made after this prescription. Dissolve 5 grains optona in 2 ounces of water; use as an eye bath. It sharpens
the vision, relieves irritation, allays in-j flammation. makes the eyes fetlj smooth and fine as if well lubricated, j Many who use it find to their great ;
surprise that they do not need glasses. They regain perfect sight and eye comfort . Used early in the morning it makes the eyes feel fresh and smooth ; used at night it brings comfort and a soothing sense of sweet relief from, strain. After an automobile ride or a J l. J .1 V. . .1

Get a small package of Hamburg Breast Tea, or as the German folks call it, "Hamburger Brust Thee." at any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of tea, put a cup of boiling water upon it, pour through a sieve and drink a teacup full at any time. It is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, as it opens the pores, relieving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking a cold at once. It is inexpensive and entirely vegetable, therefore harmless. Adv.
