Prevents eye lashes from touch ing the glass, excludes the .light from the outer corners and gives real comfort to every wearer.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS. The familiar campaign poster, hear ing the face of the political candidate, nmy be a scarce article In the coming campaign, owing to the spreading of the lithographers* strike. Miss E. Mai Davison, of Long Pine, Nebr., Is the Democratic nominee for county attorney In her county. She Is probably the first woman to be named for this office In the United States. Secretary Shaw, after touring the tate, Is of the opinion t* ' Is likely to be the hottest of all this year's political campaigns. The Democratic plan to bring In Mr. Bryan and other national leaders to defeat the efforts the Republicans are making to carry the state. The Sixteenth congressional district of Texas, which has Just renominuted Judge William Robert Smith, Is the largest In area In the United States. It Is 6«0 miles long by 400 miles wide. It Includes fifty-seven counties and Is I larger than the entire New England states. The election In Maine next month Is expected to give the first line on the probable results of the congressional elections throughout the country In November. Oregon, which hold* Its ( election In June, sometimes tells the story, but this year the election In that state gave no Indication of how the wind blows. But It Is believed that the result of the contests la Maine will foreshadow the general result. If the four congressmen from Maine nre re- I elected by normal majorities. Chairman Sherman will venture to declare with contldence that the rest of the country Is safely anchored to Its Republican moorings. But If the majorities of the I four Maine congressmen should be cut I down, or If one at least of them should be defeated. Democratic campaign stock surely will go up with a rush.
