Aloe's "Toric" Lenses.
An Epoch in the Science of Optics.

The discovery of ALOE'S "TORIC" LENSES marks the most
wonderful advance in Optical Science. "TORIC" LENSES were
first used solely to correct ASTIGMATIC defects, but after careful
experiment we found they were so great an aid to weak and im
paired vision that we now grind them in the sphericals to correct
the ordinary defects of weak or failing sight.
They are ground in the shape of an arc, so that the outer
edges are the same distance from the eye as the center. The ad
vantage thus gained is a larger field of vision, and there is no pris
matic effect or internal reflection when glancing sideways or up
wards. No matter whether the pupil of the eye is raised or low
ered, the focus is the same in the wonderful ''Toric" Lenses.
Then, too, they are much lighter in weight than ordinary lenses,
and the edges are almost imperceptible.
These glasses cost more than the ordinary kind, because they
can only be made by the most skilled lens grinders, such as only we
employ, but the advantages gained by wearing them more than
justify the additional expense.
ALOE'S "TORIC" LENSES are made on'y in our own work
shop. Ours is the only house in St. Louis equipped with "Toric'
Metal Molds and "Toric" Lens grinding Machinery. They cannot
be made at any other house in this city, no matter what others may
claim.
Come in and let us demonstrate their advantages to you and
make you a pair of "Tories" fromyour own prescription.

CABANNE RESIDENTS ASK
FOR BETTER SEWAGE.
Present Petition to 11. P. I. Iteqnest-
Ingr Immediate Action' on Sfeas-
nre for lletter Drainage.
A committee representing residents of
Cabanne appeared before the Board of Pub
lic Improvements yesterday with a petition
requesting immediate action in the matter
of constructing district sewers in the Black
stone Avenue', Sewer District, No. L The
petition was referred to the Sewer Committee.-
The petitioners state that the only ob
stacle in the way of carrying on the work
Is the refusal of the Wabash Railroad Com
pany to grant the city the right to con
struct sa Joint sewer beneath its right of
way at Waterman avenue, chiefly on the
ground that such sewer may interfere with
a possible future lowering of the com
pany's tracks." They also claim that the
lowering of the tracks is not contemplated
or proposed to be done at any early date,
but is merely an Indefinite possibility.
The want of proper drainage and sewer
ing In Blackstone avenue sewer district,
they say. Is not a possibility, but a neces

tolerable and a menace to the health of
the several thousand residents in The district-Accompanying
the petition was a com
munication from Assistant Health Commis
sioner Francis to the Clemens Place Protec
tive Association, pronouncing the conditions
prevailing in the- district unsanitary, and
advising lmmedate remedy. The peUtlon
was signed by the Clemens Placo Protective
Association, through Its president, and

It Ever Stop?
Will the never-ceasing; aches of
the back ever stop? Many a suffer
er mentally asks this question after
efforts to find relief and cure
for backache. There is a cure,
but you can't expect to find it
unless you know the cause of
"that bad back." Most
backache pains come from
the kidneys, and the seat
of the trouble must be
attacked. Plasters, lini
ments and lotions may
relieve the ache, but
will not cure, as they

Deciding Suit Against

AFFIRMS VERDICT OF JURY.
"Green Tree' Fracture the Ques
tion at Issue in Case Which
Court Decides in Interest
of Science.
. KI'IGHAMS FROM JUDGE
IlLAXD'S DECISION OX RIDS.
Ribs are ot ancient origin. Adam
t had an experience with one. which,
if he had not had, we would be in
Paradise to-day as free, guileless
and joyous as a singing bird in
4 Eden's bowers, instead of slttlns
here laboring and' sweating over this
rib question.
Ribs are not only ancient, but com-
mon. We all 'carry thorn about with
us, and have them on our bill ot tare
every day.
Until we read it In the bill of ex-
ceptlons, we never thought there
was any sympathy between ribs and
green sticks, or dry ones.
There is no controversy about the
fact that ribs do Imitate sacks. The
experts agree to this.
"""" We ail know that In the viclssl-
tudes of fortune and the mutations
of time all things change ribs not
excepted.
We do not think these changes are
in the case of ribs, uniform as to
time, but are dependent somewhat
upon the strength, character and en-
vlronmtnts of the particular rib, or
ribs.
We roust decline to lay down an
ironclad rule to settle for all ages.
when. If at all. a rib under the pro-
cess of fracture, will not Imitate
a
green stick, undergoing the same
process.
Judge Bland of the Court of Appeals, In
rendering a decision yesterday in the case
of John Gorman, against the St. Louis
Transit Company, gave a treatise on ribs.
The decision of the lower court, award
ing the plaintiff damages in the sum ot $300,
was affirmed. Judge Barclay and Judge
Goode' concurred in the ruling.
The question at Issue was whether the
plaintiff, who is C9 years old, could sustain
a "green stick" fracture, of ribs. This term
Is applied in breaks, where one side of the
rib or bone is fractured and the other side
remains Intact,
The defense contended that It was Impos
sible for a man of Gorman's age to sustain
a "green stick" fracture. Medical experts
testified that such a fracture was possible.
Gorman fell ' from a Broadway car at
Hall's Ferry road. October 10, 1901. His at
torneys declared one rib was broken and
two others sustained "green stick," frac
tures. In announcing his decision. Judge Bland
said that as the Transit Company's counsel
regarded the question as the direct Issue in
the case, he thought It ought to be settled
In the interest of science.
JUDGE BLAND'S DECISION.
"It would bo very gratifying to us," said
Judge Bland, "and no doubt also to the
professors and lecturers In the medical col
leges of the country. If we could once for
all tlx the exact sge when a rib will not
break like a green stick. Let us consider
the matter. , .
"Ribs are of, ancient origin.. Adam had
an experience with one, which. If he bad
not had. we would be In Paradise to-day as
free, guileless and Joyous as a singing bird
in Eden's bowers'lnstead of sitting here la
boring and sweating over this rib question.
"Ribs are not only ancient, but common.
We all carry them about with us and have
them on our bill of fare every day, and It
seems like their qualities would be a mat
ter of common knowledge.
"But we must confess, that until we lead
It In the bill of exceptions, we never
thought there was any sympathy between
ribs, 'green sticks' - dry ones. But. the
experts say, that in case of an Injury to the
rib, there Is. It is said that 'a. great calam
ity makes all the world akin.' 'Perhaps this
explains the action of the rib in Imitating
the stick when visited by calamity.
RIBS IMITATE STICKS.
"There is no controversy about the fact
that ribs do Imitate sticks. .The experts on
both sides agree to this.
"The dispute Is about the fickleness of the
rib. Defendant's experts say that after the
age of sixteen she will no longer regard
green sticks' with a favorable eye, but
turns to the dry stick and will sympathize
with It only.
"Plaintiffs experts maintain that she Is
not so perversely fickle as to withdraw all
her favors from the green stick and be
stow all her affection upon the dry, but
even at the advanced age of 69 years she
has been known, as In this Instance, to
Imitate the green stick.
ALL THINGS CHANGE.
"It has ever been thus, for we are told
In ancient writings that Eve turned from
Adam, the lord of all creation, and the pro
prietor of Paradise, and listened to the
blandishments of the devlL But we are not
going, to slander oui grandmother, and we
hate the cowardly hypocrites who lay all
the sins of the world at her door, we all
know that in the vicissitudes of fortune
and the succession of time, all things
change ribs not excepted.
"But we do not think these changes are.
In the case .of libs, uniform, as to time, but
are dependent somewhat upon the strength,
character and environment of the particu
lar rib. or ribs, and we must decline to lay
down an ironclad rule to settle for all ages
when. If at all, a lib under the process of
fracture will not imitate a "green stick'
undergoing the same process.
"In respect to the ribs in this' case their
history, their age and all the facts con
cerning them were testified to by the wit
nesses In the presence and hearing of the
jury. That body was In a better position
and better able to understand and weigh
the evidence than we are, and it was within
their province to decide whether these par
ticular ribs were Injured. They found that
one of these ribs was; broken and two
others partly broken. The case was tried
without error and the Judgment la affirmed.
COUNSEL'S RIGHT TO ARBITRATE.
The appellate court decided In the case
of the Pennsylvania Iron Works Company
against the East 8t- Louis Ice and Cold
