Ask your doctor or MONKEYS WEAR GLASSES AND RUIN THEIR EYES Hospital Experiment of Worldwide Interest BALTIMORE. MD. —At Johns Hop kins Hospital, thev are putting glasses on monkeys for the purpose of upset ting their vision. This will cause a severe e> e strain, and impaired vision, which in turn affects the thyroid glands and is expected to produce such dis eases as nervousness, insomnia, melan cholia, irritability, headache, goitre, palpitation of the heart, protruding eyeballs, and mild forms of tubercular affections. You must admit that if glasses on monkeys will cause such conditions, they will do the same on human beings. Eyeglasses in many cases are unnec essary and even dangerous. Many think because they see well with their glasses that they fit. but this Is not always true. Misfit glasses have ruined the eyes of thousands of peonle, for at times nearly every wearer of glasses wears glasses which do not fit. In the United States alone there are over 300,000 blind peo ple, thousands of whom can trace their misfortune to neglect, as neglect has caused more blindness than any other one thing. You value your evesight above everything, therefore you" should know something about your eyes, and what to do to strengthen and preserve them. Leading druggists are now author ized to distribute free to those interest ed, a valuable book pertaining to eves and eve saving, entitled "How To Get Rid of Eye Troubles." This book should be in every home. It tells of a highly efficacious home remedy, which has enabled many to strengthen their eve sight 50 per cent, in one week's time, and by so doing they are able to discard their glasses. Through its use. manv others have avoided the necessity of re sorting to these windows. If you are a wearer of glasses and want to" get rid of them; if your eyesight is weak and you wish to strengthen it. if vou would like to test the remedy, go to anv drug store and get 5 grain optona tablets. Put one tablet in a quarter glass of water, allow to thoroughly dissolve, and with this refreshing solution, bathe the eyes from three to four times daily. Everyone, whether thev wear glasses or not. will be greatly helped through this method of eye saving. Since this formula has been published H. C Ken nedy. of this city, has been kept busy filling It. If you follow this method your eyes will clear up perceptibly right from the start. It sharpens vision even in old eyes, and its use will tone and strengthen the eve muscles and nerves so they quickly become healthy and strong. If you would over come bloodshot eyes and red lids if you would have good evesight and eyes free from blurring, inflammation smarting, Itching, burning and aching due to eyestrain from overworked eyes try this solution at once. Don't put it ofT until to-morrow, as delavs are dan gerous and the sooner you take care of your« eyes, the better It will be for you.—Advertisement.

TOWN PICNIC AUGUST 3 Shiremanstown, Pa., June 2.—At a citizens' meeting held in the fire en gine house final arrangements were made for the town picnic, which will be held at Boiling Springs Park, Au gust 3. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH • A MUSIC CANNERY By Frederic J. Haskin [Continued From Editorial Page] enough In the auditorium record poor jly, BO the test record Is made with all he pomp and circumstance that at tends making R disk whose duplicates will be run off by the thousands, just to see If the voice la of the right qual ity to record properly. As a general rule, the best voices ! make the best records. The singer jwho couples the greatest natural en dowment with the finest technique j will have the least trouble. Very high 'tones and very low tones, however, present special difficulties. Something lof the same sort is true of lnstru t mental music. The piano is the most difficult of all Instruments properly to I record. Phonograph manufacturers have a predilection for passing over the me chanical side of their business as light ly as possible. They seem to feel that ;a look behind the scenes, into the 'springs and disks and pulleys breeds disillusionment. It Is here, however, that the real wonder lies. There is perhaps no achievement of modern sci ence that comes as close to magic as the turning of a jagged square of gum- i nty black shellac into a thing that j stores UT> the greatest music of the a;es ready at the turn of a (Jnger to re lease it as utten as you will, after com poser and singer are dust. The actual process of making a rec ord is simple enough. The singer i goes Into a room specially constructed 1 to produce the best acoustical proper ties. He faces a square funnel whose striHll end leads to a recording disk made of "a plastic material." In the nature of that plastic material lies the secret of perfect reproduction, and the formula for Its composition is not ex actly being printed on hand-bills for general distribution. Behind the singer the orchestra is ranged. If the number features some special bund or orchestra, the play ers are of course brought especially to Camden, but for ordinary accompani ments the company maintains Its own organization of thirty men. They have to be artists of the first quality, because there is always that little re cording imp of the cabinet to be con sidered. with his Irritating demand for absolute perfection. tf a mistake is made he seizes it gleefully and trans mits it to all the thousands of his chil dren who are stamped from him, to trumpet abroad wherever they are played. So the director will stop the whole proceeding at any point with a tap of his baton. If his ear catches the slightest error. Visitors are not encouraged in this inner sanctum. The faintest whisper or rustle is caught up and recorded just as faithfully as the aria Itself. If \ isitor does gain admittance, he notes ' hat the arrangement of the orchestra ,is quite different from the ordinary I one in opera or concert work. Some of the men are perched on high, some of them are drawn up close to the re cording cabinet while others are with drawn. Ea< h instrument has a dif ferent carrying power and a different recording quality, so that a special ar rangement is necessary to get the proper effect. When the number has been played. ! the little imp in the cabinet has every • tone-shade safely locked in his bosom, i They take and give him an electro plating bath that coats him with en during nickel, and there you have your master record. One such master rec ord Is put on file, and from a second *.he ordinary disk records are made. The black material that you see In a phonograph record Is a composition of shellac, which softens under the Influ ence of heat. The material Is rolled out Into great sheets and cut Into squares twelve inches on a side. These squares harden as they cool, and in their hardened condition are sent down to the room where the im pressing is done. Here they are laid ion a hot table a moment to soften, and then placed over the nickel mas ter record. They are stamped and trimmed—and there is your Caruso or Tetrazzinl ready for the cabinet. The life of a record Is a matter of some interest to the owner of a phono graph. With ordinary use, a disk should last Indefinitely. Of course, the friction of steel, tungsten or sap phire on even the hardest material will eventually wear it out, but unless you play some particular piece many hours j a day, there is no deterioration. The 'question of "overtones" comes up in this connection. It has been stated that the overtones wear off a record more quickly than the notes of the dominant octave, and thus spoil the quality of the recorded voice, even while leaving pitch and volume unim paired. It is true enough that the quality of any musical note depends largely on the overtones, but according to the local company at least, there is nothing In the theory that overtones are destroyed by normal playing of a record. After the disk itself, the most inter sting- part of the phonograph mechan ism is the motor which revolves the record under the needle. The motor has to be a little wonder of its kind. It must work at an absolutely even speed—more even than that of a clock mechanism, because a clock may have compensating defects and still keep time. If the phonograph motor works a shade too fast or too slow, the whole effect is marred. A change of speed not only spoils the tempo of the num ber being played, but actually changes the pitch of the notes given out as well. This company estimates that if the springs they put into their cabi nets were joined together, a year's sup ply would reach from Londop to New York. Much of the mechanical side of phonograph-building is of course very like similar processes in any other craft. The record, the motor, and the little mica disk whose vibration does the actual "singing" are the three unique points. The world's whole mica production is picked over by the phon ograph builders in their search for the most perfect pieces, and only the best of it is sufficiently flawless for use. The phonogrraph industry as a whole is unique, not only in the industrial field, but in its relation to art and so ciety. It is putting music for the first time in history on a footing similar to that of the other arts. It is paving the way to cumulative musical achievement. We have cumulative achievement in literature, in sculpture and in painting. In these arts the treasures of the ages are piled up. Each new master measures himself not only against his contemporaries, but against the masters of all time. But the most perfect musical execu tion. the finest tone-shadings, the most sympathetic voices, were gone forever almost before the echoes of the last notes died away in the crowded audi torium. The phonograph bids fair to change all that.
