STATE PRISON'S FLAX OVERBED; EXPERT GIVES HIS OPINION Frank C. Miles Says Some of - It $rtay' Be of, Value; In spection Made. Salem, Or.. March 2. Frank C. Miles, of tbe office of fibre Investigations, Washjngtott P C, inspected the flax at the state prison today" and stated afterward that all of the flax which had undergone the retting process was over-retted and that no one could tell exactly what its value would be until after it has been run through the breaker and scutcher. He was of the opinion that this over-retted flax has a value. "If." was the word featuring his discussion of the subject. If flax now spread out in the open Is retted prop erly it will have value, h6 believed. If 150 tons of flax, which was placed In the barn and has not yet undergone tbe retting process. Is properly retted It w(l pay the expenses of the flax experiment, ha believed. The big prob lem is the retting of the flax. The flax which has undergone the retting process and is badly damaged, although, he believes, n,ot entirely ruined, would have made fine fibre had the retting process been success ful. It was stated in connection with Professor Miles' visit that the scutch ers would be employed next week for the first time. Something like a month has been consumed In setting up this machinery.

(Copyright, 1016. by IiDlas Boelt SOME of th practices that have been - common for many generations are . now being shown to be dangerous Take for instance the use of flaxseed to' remOe foreign substances from the eyes. This practice Is older than, our grandmothers. It has been banded to them by their grandmothers but It is liable to result in eye Infections. Most every one has seen flaxseed used for the purpose of cleansing the eye. Possibly you have made thia use of it. The corner druggist of other days often served In tha ca pacity of a community physician and bis flaxseed box was always opened when, a sufferer came to him to have something removed from the eye. No matter whether the seed waa dusty or not, or whether the cruise of its travels waa known, it was applied to that very delicate organ. Possibly few eyes have bean Infected by this cleansing process, but the danger la immediately apparent when a single thought is given to the subject. With equal risk orinjuringr the. eye I have seen people se matches In turning the lids to reVove dust nar- J- tides and cinders. A match should not be placed near the mouth, and certainly It should not be used In op erating on the eye. It is just as foolish to use hair jplns or anything else which has not been sterilised and freed from harmful substances. Physicians are most careful In treat ing the eyes. No instrument, cloth or cotton Is applied unless it has been sterilised. It is well known that the eye is very susceptible to the attacks of many germs. To avoid infection physicians are careful in treating the eyes. I know that, a elnder in the eye causes so much pain that risks are often taken to cure relief. Such U. S.

Sight is a highly prised sense. The- eye is very sensi tiveyet I wonder how many people properly cart for their eyes and avoid running tha risk of infection and 'in jury to the sight? Tha eye is such a delicate little piece of mechanism that the vision can be easily deranged or lest. Yet what great risks many people take! I believe in making free use of an eye glass. But I do not recommend using this, that and the ether eye wash that may be suggested by peo ple who are not eye specialists. The eye makes every effort to cleanse it self. Tears flow for that purpose: When the eyes are filled with dust and smoke or more seriously Irritated by cinders, tears flow freely. Some times, however, they are not in suf ficient volume to remove the irritant. Nature then needs assltanea and tbe eye glass can be used. - It is rot very often necessary to use more than water to cleanse the eyes. There are simple washes that prove beneficial. But it Is very seldom that they can he substituted for water. Exceptionally cold or hot water should not be used unless under instructions from a physician. Tho temperature of the tears may be followed id this di rection, ' If yon fill your eyes with Unseed, or jab them with matches, hairpins, etc, you are taking long chances.

Since the car shortage became acute state commissions have been besieging the Interstate Commerce Commission to adopt measures of relief. Under the present car service rules shippers sre not penalized for holding cars if they pay demurrage and many are being used in the -east as warehouses, demurrage being cheaper than ware house charges in many cases. It is anticipated that a change In tbe rules adding penalty to demurrage may De adopted. tfnow Stops Logging. Marshfleid, Or., March 3.

We have always made confidants of the public and have given you the benefit in reduced retail cost when the market was "down" while other roasters pocketed this increased profit and said nothing. s ROYAL CLUB now sells for 4oc, and it's worth it there is no better coffee at any price; but we will not be undersold by any "outside" roaster not even for a single week.
