The Abbey has no such place of accommodation now. Even the Chapter House, it is pointed out, is not available as it i§ under the control not of the Abbey yacht Scout - yesterday: ¢ % ; GunoNIC J BRONCHITIS bees RAZ-MAH but of the Houses Parliament, The Abbey Has been increasingly used in recent years for great na- tional acts of worship and religiou gatherings, and there is a need o a suitable ch.mber where the leading dignit: ies can assemble on such oc- casions and robe, Many Treasures There is another important consid- eration, The Abbey possesses many treasures in the form. of vestments of great antiquity and delicate work- manshin, besides a collection of gold and silver plate and costly furniture and ornaments. It has been 1e- ported by experts that unless more adequate means are found for hous- ing the ancient vestments, which are delicate fabri.s heavy with embroid- ery, the present arrangement which requires them to be folded up and kept in presses, boxes and drawers in different parts of the Abbey will eventually cause them to be injured and destroyed, Not Gothic In external appearance, the new sacristy) is likely to resemble the Jerusalem Chamber, While con- forming with the Abbey in line, it will not be Gothic in style, as it has been thought desirable to avoid the appearance of copying the old build- ing and because Gothic. windows would not allow of sufficient lighting in what the Dean and Chapter de- sire to be a well-lighted room. Be- sides being a robing room and a place for the storage of vestments, the s--risty :ill be a museum in which the historical treasures of the Abbey wi. be kept and where the public will be able to see them, HALIFAX OUSTS PORTLAND Halifax, Dec. 12.--"We are done entirely with Portland and now we look to Halifax for the future," was one of the statements made by Major P.

MAKE ADAM BECK'S| HOME HIS MEMORIAL Hydro Municipalities May Unite With London in Purchasing Residence Hamilton Dec. 12.--The execu- tive of the Municipal Electric As- sociation met here yesterday and decided to recommend to the Hydro municipalities that they join with the City of London in buying the Beck home in that city and estab- lish it as a Beck memorial, The purchase cost would be in the neighborhood of about $655,000 and the present owner has given London 'City an option on the pro- perty, which option the city can ex- ercise within reasonable time. The home of the late Sir Adam eck really constitutes the birth- place of.the great Hydro project, in which today there is more than $300,000;000- of the money of On- tario municipalities invested. With- in its four walls the early Hydro plans were drafted and discussed by Sir Adam and those whom he chose to associate with himself in what was to be the mighty public ownership effort. The Beck Home comprises a beautiful dwelling and a whole city block of surrounding grounds. The structure will probably be turned into a Hydro museum and the whole institution called "Beck Me- morial Park." The memorial would be peculiarly that of the City of London, of which Sir Adam for many year was Mayor, and which he represented in the Legislature over a- considerable period. Eye Care and Eye Strain 1 "The Retavton of Defective Eyes to Health, Part "3", Copyright 1928 By C. H. TUCK, OPT.D, Not only does strain be noticed in the neighboring nerves and muscles of the eye, but the im- posed strain draws heavily upon the nerve force, and so we have a connection with a long line of evils more extended than we think, Nervous or mental disorders not only are a source of discomfort and great inconvenience to the sufferer, but are more fixed and more com- mon after the patient has passed the age of 40 years, this is one of the reasons why people of this age 'and. over require glasses for close work and reading who perhaps have never felt the need of glasses before, When it is possible for scientific prevention to this strain, to this waste of nerve energy, there are not so many sufferers as was the case at some earlier stage of optical history. It is also quite true that a certain correction may be optic- ally, may be scientifically perfect tamer respect and may give the patient the utmost comfort in every respect acuteness of vision includ- ed; but let this patient become afflicted with .some nervous disor- der, mental depression, conscious or subconscious and no comfort will be experienced or satisfaction expected until this trouble is com- pletely eradicated.
