TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES
All work done by artificial light imposet tome ttmin on our eyes. Most every penon values his eyesight, and wonld not know¬ ingly Bobject it to onnecetiary danger.
Statistics show that a large percentage of weak eyes are un¬ doubtedly caused by the "glare" of artificial lighting. Owing to the unail area of the light giving source in a metallic filament lamp compared to the mantle of a gas lamp, the light from a gas mantle is by far the most rabdued and pleasing artificial illumination. Think of your eyesight in your old age and

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
Julius Kruttschnitt
On the Business Pond
Mr, Julius Kruttschnitt when asked to give his views on the business outlook of the nation from the railroad standpoint said in part:
"Business, as today organized, may be likened to a great pond, in which numberless waves are started one after another by the purchases and sales of the many individuals and companies, these waves spreading in all directions, crossing and recrossing, until their force is spent.
"Everybody appreciates what would happen if a great bowlder like the European war should suddenly be dropped into the business pond, but not everybody appreciates the effect of the slackening of activity at some important center of wave force. The effect of a reduction in the purchasing jiower of farmers, following a season of bad crops, is generally understood. But how about the purchasing power of the great transportation industry? With the steady march of operating expenses upon revenues, without corresponding increases in rail¬ way charges, the railways have been driven to curtail all expenditures, and even stop entirely many customary purchases for extending and improving their facilities. The business pond is too big, and its wave activity too com¬ plex, to say that this is the sole cause of the present quiescent state of its surface, but it unquestionably is a cause of the greatest importance. How Important this cause will appear from the amount of railway expenditures. "Take, for example, the year 1913, the last for which complete flgures are available. In that year the railroads spent $2,170,000,000 in expenses for operation, of which $1,373,000,000 was for wages and salaries. In addition, they spent $436,000,000 for interest, $260,000,000 for dividends, and $480,- 000,000 for new tracks, locomotives and cars, or for additions or betterments to property already in existence. The total expenditures for 1913 amounted, therefore, to about $3,350,000,000.
"Some details of railway purchases of materials and supplies for 1913 are as follows: For fuel for locomotives, $250,000,000; for lubricants, water and other supplies for locomotives on the largest roads alone, $25,000,000; for Btatlonery and printing, $20,000,000; for station supplies, $12,000,000; for advertising, $9,000,000; for rails, ties and other niateriaia for repairing and maintaining track already built, $104,000,000. It should be noted that these statistics of actual purchase cover only what is needed to keep the railway plant in the minimum of working condition. More abundant revenues would not only result in higher and more generous maintenance, but in new con¬ struction work in the public interest.
"A question deserving thoughtful attention is: If railways should be allowed a slight increase in charges and relief from costly restrictions upon details of operation, would not the increased buying power that would be precipitated by the addition to their available revenues agitate tbe business pond to a desirable degree ot wave activity?"
sible separate the males and females and give each flock outdoor quarters, well shaded. Work your breeding stock hard when the birds should be working and producing an abundance of fertile eggs. Then at the close of the breeding season cull the flock of those which don't stand up well un¬ der the hard work. Put the best birds in "summer vacation ' quarters to get into condition for another hard season. Cull again berore fall hous¬ ing and keep over only the best for breeding. '
This is a good season (or poultry- house building and we hope that
every Post reader who needs a new
poultry house will build one or more of the open-air kind. Supply plenty of freeh, succulent greens for grow¬ ing chickens and fowls during the hot summer season. Provide ample runs, plenty of shade and an abund¬ ance of cool drinking water.

State Fund Dividends.
The State Insurance Fund an nounees that dividends have been de¬ clared to policyholders on the second six months' term ending June 30 aver¬ aging about if) per cent. This Is somewhat less than the average divi¬ dend for the first six months' term, which was nearly 20 per cent., but the rate reduction of 12 per cent, which went into effect January 1, naturally resulted in a lower dividend for the second term. The net cost of Insurance to State Fund policyhold¬ ers was 7 per cent, less for the sec¬ ond term than for the first, as the greatly reduced rates for the second term more than offset the somewhat reduced dividends.
