OTTO KLEEMANN ANSWERS Consolidation to Provide Hall, Lights, Refreshments and to Speak in German or Write on Subject in English. Otto Kleemann, president of the Con solidation of German-Speaking Societies of Oregon, who was authorized to an swer the challenge of J. P. Newell, chair man of the prohibition committee, to de bate on prohibition, has accepted the challenge. Mr. Kleemann's letter of ac ceptance follows. Friend Newell: When I rereiveri vm.r. ufti challenging me to a debate on the prohibition question, I was inclined to take it as a good joke, just like being treated to a. glass of xjuiu see myseir in a quadrangular (if this is the right word for It) controversy, with three W. C. T. fT nfLr. w proposed, going for me with all their oratory. Knowing you for eo long as a good fellow, with the exception of your difference from the normal man when It comes to the prohi bition question, it was iiard for me to take your letter seriously. Last night, however, I submitted your let ter to the delegates of the Consolidation and found that they take a more serious view of the same, owing to the Insinuation contained In it that I was the originator of the article in The Oregonian and in excess of my author ity. I was thefore empowered to" antrwer your letter in the name of. the combined Ger-man-ppeaking societies of Oregon, In any terms I personally saw proper. Xow, ,as the challenged party has the right and privilege to choose the weapons, I will make you the following proposition in answer to your request: We. the Germans, will ap point an equal number of speakers to meet your men at any time to be agreed upon later. We will furnleh the hall, lights and refresh ment?, the language the debate Is heid in to be German. Should this not sul you. we will answer any statements you wish to make In KngUsh, but in writ.ng and through the me dium of the press. I am sure The Oregonian will gladly give us space in a cause so vital to the State of Oregon. We claim- that the stand you take In ad vocating prohibition le a direct attack upon the Constitution of the United States, the grandest paper in the world's history, and nothing short of secession. Hoping we will be able to agree upon some terms just to all parties, for this coming con test of words, I remain. OTTO KLEEMANN. DR. JOSEPHI GOES EAST Portland Physician to Represent Oregon at Important Conferences. Dr. S. E. Josephi, staff surgeon of the Good Samaritan Hospital and member of the faculty of the medical department of the University of Oregon, left last night for Saji Francisco, en route to Chicago, where he will attend the special confer ence on medical education and medical legislation called by the Council on Medi cal Education and Legislation of the American Medical Society.

And eye-strain slowly but surely and inevitably impairs the sight. If you have reason to believe that one eye is stronger than the other, have them examined, and, if necessary, wear glasses particularly for reading, sewing or other close work. Good glasses will coax a poor eye into undertak ing its share of the work of vision and relieving the good eye of its unfair burden, thus increasing the present working power and insuring the future usefulness of both.
