EIE STRAIN
The Eye
is the most delicate, the most
sitive of our senses, yet the most
neglected. Many of the head-
aches and nervous breakdowns
come directly from the muscular
insufficiencies of the eye.
Properly Fitted
Glasses
Relieve these muscular strains
and the sooner applied, the bet-
ter. We are oa the alert for a
defect undiscovered by your for-
mer optician.

Texas has nine vacancies to be
filled in the West Point Military
Academy, one pf which is to be
filled by appointment of Con-
gressman Rayburn.
The Temple Telegram wants
to know if the “chauffeur may
use his employer’s car for his
own pleasure?” To be sure he
can, if he don’t get caught at it,
or if the employer don’t care if
he does get caught.
The thermometer registered 47
degrees in New York Tuesday
morning. In the face of this no
man will dispute the assertion
that the weather man has lost
his head. That’s what the Pres-
ident gets for firing Mr. Moore.
It is stated that more than five
hundred orators were pressed
into service on the Fourth to
present the candidacies of Tom
Ball and Jim Ferguson for gov-
ernor. This in addition to the
number of speeches made for the
candidates for the lesser offices
shows that there is no dearth of
hot air artists in the great state
of Texas.
An Oklahoma murderer seems
to have gotten his wires crossed.
In his trial for the murder of a
woman whom he shot down in
cold blood on a crowded thor-
oughfare in Muskogee some time
since he stated that “God told
me to kill her. ” It is pretty cer-
tain that the inspiration for the
deed came from the lower re-
gions. His plea is emotional in-
sanity. ____
The airship with which it is
hoped to fly across the Atlantic
is being given daily trials. It is
a double motor affair, and many
experts asserted that the double
motor would be of no use, as, if
one motor stopped, it would be
necessary to stop the other be-
cause of the fact that only one
motor running would cause the
craft to fly lop-sided. Glenn Cur-
tis tried flying the machine with
one motor idle and the machine
flew as steadily as could be ex-
pected. It seems that the trip
across the Atlantic will be made
successfully._■
In order that the bank might
not have to take more stock in
the national reserve bank than its
own capital stock a national bank
of Philadelphia recently declared
a dividend of 700 per cent. The
bank had a surplus of more than
a million and a half dollars. Un-
der the law all national banks
must take stock in the reserve
bank to the amount of 6 per cent
of their capital stock and surplus.
This bank, except for the divi-
dend which it declared, would
have been compelled to take
$105,000 stock in the reserve
bank, or $5,000 more than its
capital stock.______
The resolutions committee of
the National Educational Asso-
ciation has agreed to recommend
to that body a resolution declar-
ing for equal suffrage and favor-
ing women teachers drawing sal-
aries equal to those paid to the
male teachers. The Signal has
always believed that a woman is
entitled to the same salary that
men got if she could do the work
that men do. This way of pay-
ing smaller salaries to women on
account of their sex is a relic of
barbarism._
The people of Austria are be-
having like the Kilkenny cats
over the funeral of the late arch-
duke and his wife. The woman
was of ‘ ‘inferior” birth and the
marriage was what is known as
a morganatic marriage. When
the time came for the funeral
the duke’s relatives insisted that
the relatives of the wife should
be made to keep their places in
the funeral arrangements and
treated them as though they
were not entitled to any consid-
eration. Those who maintain
that a touch of sorrow makes the
whole world kin would do well
to change their opinion when
thinking of royalty.
It seems that President Wilson
made a mistake in naming Paul
M. Warburg as one of the mem-
bers of the Federal Reserve
Board. Warburg is one of the
big bankers of the country and
while no one doubted his ability
to serve on the board the senate
insists on the members of the
board giving accounts of their
dealings with the big business
enterprises of the country before
confirming them. Mr. Warburg
refused to be examined by the
senate committee and agreed
that his name be withdrawn. In-
dications are that he has been do-
ing something in “big business”
that would not stand the great
white light of publicity.
One day last week the Favorite
man took occasion to say some
things about the Signal man’s
turnip patch in the center of the
square and to deplore the fact
that it was to be destroyed by
the erection of the federal build-
ing in the place which it now oc-
cupies. The Signal assures the
Favorite that it is perfectly will-
ing to give up the turnip patch
rather than be forced to go to
the country to get. to the post-
office as is the case in some other
towns we might mention For
we maintain that it is better to
go to the country for turnip
greens than to have to go there
for our mail, even if we can go
after the mail on paved streets.

threatening to go on a strike if
their demands are not met. The
railroad people do not show any
inclination to grant the demands
of the men, which include among
other things an eight hour day.
The Signal has received a copy
of the anniversary edition of the
Abilene Reporter, which is in-
deed a splendid production. Tpyo-
graphically and in mechanical
get-up it is the equal of any
special addition that ever came
to this office, and it is chock full
of reading matter about the Abi-
lene section. The publishers are
to be congratulated and the Abi-
lene country will reap great ben-
efit from the edition.
There is joy in the Philippine
Islands. President Wilson has
began a movement which he ex-
pects to lead, in the not distant
future, to the absolute independ-
ence of the islands. He has
fathered a bill introduced in the
House which provides for the
immediate autonomy of the Phil-
ippines through the creation of
an island legislature. The Presi
dent states very frankly that he
does not expect the bill to pass
at the present session of con-
gress, but hopes that the house
will pass it. When the Philip-
pines secure a legislature to gov-
ern their internal affairs it is be-
lieved that in a short time they
will be given greater govern-
mental powers and will gradually
work up to absolute independ-
ence. It is sincerely to be hopec
that the islands will soon be
turned loose. There has never
been, a time since they were tak-
en from Spain when they have
not been a white elephant on the
hands of the United States gov-
ernment. They have never paid
the expenses of governing them
to say nothing of the loss of life
which they have cost the United
States.
The Signal man has all along
been ready to accept the Bible
version of the fall of the human
race and sees no reason why it
should change its views by rea-
son of the fact that a clay tab-
let has been found which scien-
tists claim gives a different ver-
tion of the story. It is possible,
of course, that the tablet may
have the thing right, but the
Signal does not believe it has, if
the account of it really differs
from that given in the Book of
Books. If we accept new ver-
sions of Bible events we might
as well throw all of it out. There
has always been an effort to dis-
credit the Bible, it has been the
cause of many contests and will
be to the end of time. Even in
the earliest days there were peo-
ple who doubted the authenticity,
not only of certain passages, but
of the whole book, and every
age of the world has seen the
same condition prevailing. Per-
laps if the scientists continue
their search they will find tab-
lets proving the Darwin theory,
and the man who accepts one
tablet over the Bible must ac-
cept all of them, even if it proves
that his ancestors hung by their
tails from the tops of trees and
cussed those inhabitants of the
world in a lower state, who were
to “evolute” until finally they
attained the height of civilization
possessed by the cussers.
The bubonic plague situation
in New Orleans has not as yet
assumed proportions such as to
cause alarm. To date there have
been only three case£ of the mal-
ady. The only bad feature of the
case is that one of the victims of
the disease, a negro boy who
died an July 2, was three miles
from the first case. So far none
of the rats which have been ex-
amined have been infected with
the germs of the disease, though
this has caused no let-up in the
fight being made in the Crescent
City to exterminate the rodents,
as it has been proven conclusive-
ly that they are the carriers of
the germs of the bubonic plague.
A number of other cities through-
out the South have begun war on
the rodents, one city going so far
as to declare a rat-killing day, at
which time every man, woman
and child is expected to assist
in the work of freeing the city
from the pests. The Signal does
not believe, however effectively
they may fight, that any of the
sections of the country will sur-
pass the rat-killing records of
some sections of this part of the
state.
Bonham people were the vic-
tims of a hot weather joke a few
days ago. The old town has a
thermometer on display in a
prominent place, and her people
are in the habit of consulting it
quite often to find out what warm
members they are. Some boys
took some matches and held them
under the mercury and made it
seek the top of the tube. It was
right amusing to see the people
when they would consult the in-
dicator—the perspiration would
pop out like dew drops on a spring
morning. The thermometer aft-
er the boys got through with it
registered 116—enough to make
anybody hot.

You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com-
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can’t make a mistake in taking
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,
says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and
as strong^s I ever did, and can eat most anything.”
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.

Dallas people are having lots
of fun out of their new “jay-
walking” ordinance, which went
into effect Monday. According
to the ordinance pedestrians must
go squarely across the street in
place of diagnolly, or any other
way, where there are traffic of-
ficers. The officers have had to
turn many back and make them
start their journey across the
street in order that the law may
be complied with. It makes no
difference how near across he
may be, if the officer sees him,
he is compelled to go back and
try it over. The court records of
the city show that most of the
accidents to pedestrians in Dallas
occur at the intersection of
streets, and that nearly all of
them are the result of people cut-
ting across the street in place of
going io the intersections and go-
ing straight across. The ordi-
nance will cause considerable an-
noyance for a while, but it is in
line with the “safety first” the-
ory, which every city is now con-
ducting. There is one thing,
An Old Timer.
Logan Myers remarked that he
had been in Texas 46 years Sat-
urday, the 4th of July. He said
he came from Kentucky, and
lived on Red river for some time.
Mr. Myers says when he landed
in Bonham the war had only been
over a little while, and that a
great many of the negroes on
Red river had not learned even
then that they were free. Every
man wore a wide-brimmed hat,
and of course all carried arms
that wanted to carry them. He
said it was no trick at all to go
down in Bois d’Arc bottom at
any time and kill a deer. It is
easy to understand from what
Mr. Myers states that times have
changed slightly in Texas within
the last forty years.—Bonham

About Sunday Fishing.
State Press intimates that it is
not sinful to fish on Sunday. The
wretch! There is nothing worse
under the sun. The fish might
not care whether it is Saturday
or Sunday on which he is remov-
ed for the cool water to the hot
skillet, but man can ill afford to
get himself into an eternal skil-
let for the sake of one day’s
pleasure. We knew a man who
went fishing on Sunday and when
he returned home he found that
his brother, who observed the
though, that Dallas officers will day as one should, had broken
have to take into consideration
and that is that as long as the
drouth continues in various sec-
tions of the state there will be
many visitors to Dallas who won’t
realize whether they are obeying
the law or not.
It is confidently expected that
one of the most complete tie-ups
of transportation facilities in the
west will occur in a few days.

HEALTH PAST FIFTY
Careful diet is of utmost importance to
men and women past fifty years of age;
it keeps up their strength, and the oil-
food in Scott’s Emulsion is a nourishing
food, a curative medicine and a sustaining
tonic to regulate the functions.
It contains the medicinal fats of pure
cod liver oil and science proves that they
furnish twice as much energy as other
foods—then too, it creates pure blood,
sharpens the appetite, relieves rheuma-
tism, strengthens the body and alleviates
the ailments due to declining years.
Scott’s is free from wines, alcohol or
harmful drugs. Beware of substitutes.

Predicts Perkins’Election
Tom W. Perkins, of McKinney,
candidate for congress in this
district, was in Denison a few
days ago renewing acquaintances.
Tom W. Perkins is well fitted for
the position of congressman be-
cause he has the brains and be-
cause he will get for the people
of this district everything po£
sible. In the previous race with
eight men in the race he lackec
a few over two hundred votes of
winning and in this race things
have changed to the extent that
he will get a much larger vote
than before and we believe will
be elected.—Denison Daily News
