Danville, Va., April 16. A local
option election Is In progress in Dan
ville today, after a campaign which
has been warmly contested by both
the liquor dealers and the Anti-Saloon
league. Both sides are claiming
victory and the result will probably
be very close. Danville has about
20 saloons, all of which will have to
quit business If the "drys" are suc
cessful In today's election. The liquor
men are now subjected to a high li
cense and rigid restrictions, being re
quired, to close at 7 o'clock and no
screens being allowed.

Blind Men's Dieama.
One of the most lntejllgcnt inmates
of a blind asylum, who came into the
world blind, says that heaever dreams
of the things he has read atnrat and
never dreams of any thing or person
that he has not In some way come In
personal contact with. He dreams of
music, of the voices of persons he
knows, of such incidents as mlgbt
happeu at the home or in some place
In which he has actually been, but
never of incidents in other places or In
other lands. Even although be has
read descriptions of localities, of nat
ural beauties, of the appearance of a
street or a city, no Idea of what they
look like comes to him in the fancies
of his sleep. There Is a class of blind
people who become blind when quite
young. 8uch blind people never dream
of any scene or object except those
which have remained in the memory
from what they actually saw before
they became Mlnd.-Paarson's Weekly.
Fish In Inclosed Waters
Most people not without education
and a general knowledge of natural
history are mystified by the presence
of fish in inclosed waters. For many
years there was open mouthed wonder
over the perch, bream and crayfish
found in the newly cut dams near the
Macquarie river, in New South Wales.
In some cases the water had scarcely
settled after the rata had filled the
dam than the Ash were observed, and
the Australian farmers started a the
ory of spontaneous production. This
obtained and gained wide credence un
til a Sydney professor chanced to pick
up a wild duck and found its breast
feathers antl webbed feet well dotted
with fertile and almost hatched fish
ova, on which the "spontaneous pro
duction" theory was promptly with
drawn. St Louis Globe-Democrat
The "pure food law" is designed by
the government to protect the public
from injurious Ingredients In both
foods and drugs. It Is beneficial both
tu the public and to the conscientious
manufacturer. Ely's Cream Balm, a
successful remedy for cold In the
head, nasal catarrh, hay fever, etc.,
containing no Injurious drugs, meets
fully the requirements of the new law,
and that fact Is promlnerttly stated
on every package. It contains none
of the Injurious drugs which are re
quired by the law to be mentioned on
the label. Hence you can use It
safely.
