C. A. BARNES Attorney for Plaintiff. The following item is from Hon. C.

E. Stoke's Kansas City Leader: Elder. A. W. Kokendoffer, of the Christian church of Mexico, kindly gave Mr.

Ralls the use of his church for Thursday evening, July 16. On Friday afternoon he had a fairly good meeting in the park. He was rained out on Friday night. Saturday night he had a small audience in the park to hear him. Sunday Bro.

H. C. Turner drove with him out to Bethel M. E. South church, six miles in the country, where they had a splendid meeting.

Mr. Turner spoke twenty minutes and Mr. Ralls 35. The people were wonderfully moved, and invited Mr. Ralls back to attend their Sunday school picnic on July 26.

Mr. Ralls also talked to the M. E. South Sunday school and Epworth League at Mexico, on Sunday. Mr.

Ralls speaks highly of the way he was entertained by Friends Hughes, Rouse, Turner and their families. Monday night of this week he had about 75 out to hear him at Rush Hill; interest good. Mr. and Mrs. J.

N. Rosser entertained him nicely. Can Nervous Diseases Be Caused by Eye Strain? The literature of medicine goes to prove conclusively that a duration of life is materially shortened by nervous debility and the diseases which it entails. Any factor, therefore, in their causation ought not to be overlooked. In the view that Eye-strain is a frequent cause of functional nervous derangements proves to be the correct one beyond the possibility of a doubt or cavil, it is not difficult to see that a hope of marked relief or of ultimate recovery is practically extended to many hopeless sufferers upon whom drugs have exerted little or no benefit.

A few of the troubles which result directly from neglect in this particular are Neuralgia, Sick Headache, Dispepsia, Insanity and Nervous Prostration. you have- -any of the above troubles call on DR.
