While there is no limit to the number of kinds or
strength of glasses, there can be but one kind for your eyes
and any other is likely to be injurious instead of helpful.
The great majority of all headaches in adults and chil

rational treatment instead of drugs in all such cases,

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM MISS WHITE
Miss Sara White, who is a trained
nurse writes frequently to h^ parents i
Mr. and Mrs. It. M. White, of Ada and
describes the visit she and her com- i
panions made to places of interest.
We publish extracts from this letter:
Lets take a visit to the wonderful
stock yards of Chicago.
It will take us an hour's ride on
electric. We'll go Tuesday, a. m. and
then come back and sleep until time,
to go on duty at 9:30.
Myrtle and Blanch and I went out
there as soon as we ate our breakfast.
Got to the place at 9:30.
The stock yard cover acres of pens
for cattle sheep and hogs, The odor
out there is not like peaches and
cream, around in this vicinity are
many great packing houses Swift,
Armour's Libby's, and Morris Co.
We decided to visit the Swift plant
as it is th? largest and most exciting.
We entered at the visitors entrance
where on the door is written these
words?"welcome visitors, walk in."
So we did, and were greetetf by a most
genial fellow who was "glad to see us,
and reminded us that we were brave
to come without an escort we were
told "to have scats, the patty would
leave in 20 minutes." So we sat and
watched the other visitors come in,
precisely in twenty minutes the guide
beckoned us to the elevator where
we went to the 7th floor to the Hop
Dressinp Department.
The machinery and orpanization is
amazing.. The pips arc in a stall.
They enter by the dozen to a small
pen where a man awaits to snap a
rinp around its lqft hind foot and
hanps him on to bip hooks upon a
hupe wheel (as larpe as any wind-^
mill wheel) which keeps revolving,
the hook slips on to a larpe iron rod
and the squealinp pip slides on % his
death a few feet away, where a man
in rubber boots and with bared elbows
and armed with a stabbinp knif**
gives the animaf his death blow. The
dead hop poes slidinp on into a caldron
of boilinp water and out apain
where he receives a scrapinp and
cleaninp and sinpeinp (one man
r.tsr.dir.p doing on?? nnrt. of the. nrocess
a? the meat passes by.) Then
one man whacks off the feet, one the
ears, one the head, one opens the midline
etc, There is a place for everything.
t
Now the pip all white and clean
has slipped down to sixth floor (wc
walk down to steps and find a 1000
pips going through the cutting process)
into the refrigerating rooty
where he remains for^ two days. It
has taken him 1-2 "hr* to leave his
pen and enter the !ce box as food
fit for man.
Now in the cutting room the hams
and shoulders are cut off then the
back bone is out and the bacon is
trimmed and down to the fifth floor
the next is seen. Here is the 5th
smoking room and my, but Jt smells |
good. '
On the 4th floor the stamping i? i
done and assorting of small and
large pieces of meat.
3rd floor part of the packing is begun;
on the 2nd floor bacon is wrapp
ed and tied and.when the meat is on
first floor it is i<eady to be loaded into
huge wagons there waiting with
groat dappled horses and away to the
R. R. Station to be sold.
Next we go to the refrigerating
rooms where the beeves ready dressed,
are hung in uniform rows. These
rooms are 36 to 38 below zero, we buttoned
our capes closer about us and
enjoyed the iciness of the place. They
are not killing beef today rather they i
won't begin until 12 o'clock as cows
are scarce and full time is'nt needed
for them noW the guide says "all
ready" and we go to where the. sheep i
are led to the slaughter and this is
what makes us heartsick to see their
innoncent human-like faces stab without
a murmur or complaint. Notice
(he man who is killing the sheep'.'
He has a big nose, beard and hasn't
[ been shaved for days. He wears a
' close fitting cap and rubber apron
and his arms hre splashed with blood,
He is doing his duty and is on the job i
every day but Saturday and of course
on Sunday the place dosen't run so!
ho works tive days in the week religiously
to get the correct food for hi.-:'
people to eat, he is the Jewish rabbi.
Tht genuine orthodox Jew eats rij
meat not killed and blessed an IJ
stamped by^the rabbi. The same pro-;
f.ca rst o.. _?* --

A government inspector is stationed
to inspect every, animal and hi
stamp is affixed which shows that the
meat is pure food.
Lets see where the oleomargarine 1
is made! It is what I eat every day
anil call it butter. $ut I dont mind >
eating it now since Ive seen it made 1
For cleanliness is the first principle
used there at Swifts. It is remarkable.
The demonstrator of the oleo- I
margarine (we call it oleo for short) (
says the only difference between oleomargarine
and the best butter is the
price (40c vs. 7.r>e) She shows us (
what ingredients and the proportion.; j
of each. * ' 1

2, creamery abutter '
3, pure cotton seed oil x
4, neutral oil (from the pigs)
'vThese four ingredients plus .salt
and thorough mixing and. careful
handling make the excellent quality
of butter substitute. Look over in
the corner of this room on 3rd floor
and see the nice looking place and a
mani^irist sitting there manicuring
a person's finger nails. Isn't it queer
at first? well all employees who
handle the finished product and all
butter making must keep their hands
in good condition and here is the
means, free! free! . Everywhere in
the meat and all dept. you see signs
"keep meats clean".
At present 6000 hogs are killed
daily. The capacity of the plant i3
to handle 1000 per hour. The
general office of the Swift plant is a
big building in itself. The reception
and entrance room to it look like a
fine hotel. There""are hundreds cf
clerks busy as bees. I didn't get to
see Mr. Swift, I supose if he'd known
I was there he would surely have
spoken to me eh! people from all
over the world visit the plant They
handle 1&00 visitors yearly. This
booklet is wflat they handed to us in
the waiting room. /
I can't begin to tell you one third1
of what I saw, my car fare was l!>c
and I spent 3 hours of valuable time
to see tnis place Dut wasn't it worth
it? I think so!
GOVERNMENT WILL ENCOURAGE
"GO TO COLLEGE MOVEMENT v
All the colleges in South Carolina,
according to an authortative announcement
just made, are to receive
direct encouragement form the government
in the "go to college movement"
which the educational and other
interests of this state have underway.
Through the War Loan Organization
of this district, the United States
Treasury Department is to help stimulate
interest in higher education
and to suggest means whereby it is
hoped that more young men and women
of the Palmetto Statd" may enjoy
^ie privileges and advantages of a
college course.
Because of th$ importance of college
training, many agencies have
been active for so*ne time in its behalf.
The district War Loan Organization
has developed a plan by which
it will be able to further the movement,
and its cooperation is expected
to be of valuable assistance.
An outline of what the government
hopes to accomplish as its phase of the
w^rk has been presented to the directing
head of practically every college
in South Carolina, and has receivfed,
it is said, the most welcome approval.
At the recent meeting of the Virginia

Colleges and schools, religous bodies,
and men's and women's clubs are interected
in the "go to college" idea,
since never' before, it is declared, has
the country faced so great an economic
need for men and women of trained
minds and broad vision. Social
surveys have shown that lack of
funds is one of the great factors preventing
many persons from attending
college. The War Loan Organization
hopes^ hy inculcating the habits of
planning ahead and of systematic saving
and safe investment on the part of
boys and girls and their parents, that
"go to college" funds may be accumulated
to that more may be afforded
the advantages of higher education.
Plans are now being perfected for
the formal observance of a day early
in May, the date yet .to be announced,
on which addresses will be made in the

THE LEBANON FAMED
FOR ITS CEDARS SHRINES
AND CIGARETTES
Washington.?"In the city whefe
its independence was proclaimed, and
in the emblem it was chosen, the
newly declared government of Lebanon
at least has two symbols of permanence,"
says a bulletin from the
National Geography society.
"Baalbek is so old thfrt no plan can
tell when first its temples were built
to sun or spring or mountain.' One
shrine after another rose and fell, or
was beaten down by rival religionists,
until some time in the first century
A. D.^wo mighty structures whose
ruins still stand were raised above the
lofty plateau of the Bika.
"The larger of these temples *was
erected in honor of Jupiter or Helio3,
the sun. It was surrounded by a peristyle
of 58 columns, 80 feet, in height
and so big around that four large men
can scarcely embrace them in their
outspread arms.
"Six of these huge columns with
their Corinthian capitals and with imjnense
fragments of the cornice still
poised against the blue remain, rising
bodly above the mean dwellings of
the modern town. Nowhere does such
massive permanence suggest such
very lightness as in these six abiding
pillars of the Temple of,the Sun.
"The smaller temple, itself larger
than the Parthenon, was erected to
Bacchus a jovial god, now discredited
in certain parts. It is.one of the finest
Roman temples extant. The entrance
| to this temple to the god o^ wine is
decorated with delicate carving that
| would grace Melrose abbey or
worthily frame the rose window of
Reims.
"The 43 foot dooofrway is surrounded
with tracery, where vines and garlands,
nymplis and satyrs and gay
bacchantes are transfixed in stone almost
as they appeared 2,000 years ago
when the ringing chisels of the Roman
sculptors fell" silence before its
finished perfection. x
"Baalbek bespeaks " permanence in
spite of the crowd of ephemeral summer
visitors who seek in the cool
shade bf the willows beside the sacred
pool a rest from the heat of the Medi
iierraneau iiliuriu.
"The emblem chosen for the Lebailbn
flag is the cedar trees. This symmetrical
symbol of lasting strength
has long served as the seal of_^tho
American university at Beirut. But
the cedars of Lebanon are not unappreciated
by the people, of the mountains.
They call the 'The Cedars of
the Lord.' k ? i j
Some scholars believe that the picturesque
sides of lofty Lebanon were
once clothed in these majestic trees,
and give as a reason the fact that Solomon
obtained from Hiram of Tyre
great rafts of this time defying timber
for the famous temple at Jerusalem.
Others cite this as a reason
for believing that never have there
been many of these kingly trees and
that their rarity as much of their rot
resisting qualities made them desirable
to the king who could scour the
known world fnr tV>n lioof
material.
"However that may be, the main
group* of true cedars now contains
only about 400 of these trees, diump'
ed in what from a distance of several
miles appears to be a dark green hassock
thrown against the tawny mountains.
Yet these trees, 400 which look
like a single tea shrub if one sees
them from the Kadisha valley or the
distant mountain pass, are really 80
to 100 feet in height, and doubtless
many of them are 2,000 years or age.
Only the deodars of the Himalayas
and the sequoias of California surpass
them in age and dignity.
"The Lebanon has its own government
with a Christian mute^arrif and
a special constitution dating from
1861, following the Druze-Maronite
disorders of the year before. But in
1916 all special privileges were abolished
by the Porte. The Lebanon
gendarmerie wore a picturesque uniform
in the Zouave style with vofuminous
trousers of dark blue piped
witlj red and with tight jackets and
trim leggings.
"TKo {rm r?a on<l r>i A

the Lebanon have long been famous.
But possibly this long mountain range
which has given its name to the
jjolitical region, has never done a
greater service to mankind than when
it drove the Phoenician traders t6 the
western sea and gave sea borne commerce
and, perhaps the alphabet to
the world." , / A

NINE CHANGES IN CO YEARS
Bulgarian '"IMwdary Shifts With
Every Treaty.
(Prom the Brooklyn Eagle.)
By the treaty of Neuilyl the frontiers
of Bulgaria have been changed
for the ninth time in less than fiftv
years. These latest changes deprive
the peasant kingdom of ijta Aegean
littoral, although comrricrcial access
to the Mediterranean is still secured
under certain conditions, through
Deeagatch, a wretched roadstead
where all goods have to be landed or
embarked in lighters.
The Shaded area on the map shows
,, clearly the extent of territory lost by
Bulgaria. The three strips on the
Western frontier, which are. assigned
to Serbia, formed part of Bulgaria
even under the Turkish administration
of the ykli of Tuna, and until
1918 no one eveiy suspected that tfcey
were inhabited by Serbs. Although
enthnologists, ever the obedient servants
of Balkan conquerors, have not
hesitated to issue maps assigning
these scraps of territory racially to
Serbia, it is more charitable to surmise
that these. rectification are purely
logical justifications are purely
strategic and do not pretend to ethoalogical
justification. The same may
be said to qpply to the Strummitaa
area (now also allotted to Serbia),
which )>raufht the Bulgarian frontier
uncomfortably near to the rmil'way^running
north from Saloniki.
The territories lost in the south
comprise the tobacco area roound
Xanthi, but cannot be claimed as being
particularly Bulgarian by rate.
Before the various recent wars .'n
those parts the costal population
was mainly Greeks to the east of Port
Lagos, with Turks in the hills. To
the west of Port Lagos, as far as
the Nestos (Mesta Kara Su), the
coastal population had a large admixture
of Turks. This distributioa was
probably modified since 1913 by the
departure of many Greeks, but the
number of Bulgarians in this territory
can never have been considerable. o
To the northwest of Arianople a small
section of territory ceded by Turkey I
in 1915 is now retailed by Bulgaria,
but the rest of the rains In that war
are now lost?for the second time.
Halide Edib, the most prominent
woman leader among the Turkish Nationalists,
has been appointed minister
of education of the new Republic
of Angora.
