"A little, perhaps; but 1t is the truth.
You must remember, too, that there

many eyes have several defects. The
perfect eye is the one that does its
work under ordinary circumstances
without any painful muscular adjust

some purposes and defective for others.
Many comparatively young men have
eyes that see very much further than
the average eye sees, as do eyes that
have become fattened from age, but
such persons find that their eyes are
untitled for close application at desk
work. Such persons should have
glasses II they do not wish to ruin their
eyes, and it would be very unsafe for a

when one feels a dull ache at the
back OF the eye, as II some one were
pulling at a tired muscle there, it is a
sign that he needs glasses. The eye is
unsuited to its work, and the muscle

vendor might fit such man, but the
chances are that glasses bought with

than good. II you know just what is

What Is Necessary to Achieve Success In
Business.
In every community there may be
found quite a number Of young men who
have very erroneous impressions in re-
gard to the requirements necessary for
a start in life. Practically unqualified
for any business pursuit, they are
waiting for something to turn up" by
means Of which they may obtain for
tune at once, or at least good start in
some line of business. They seem to
forget that imam is the architect of his
own fortune" and that it is only by
thorough preparation, energy and per-
severance they are to gain permanent
prosperity. With good practical edu-
cation, and a sufficient amount Of
'push" to take advantage OF opportun-
tiles as they present themselves, every
young man has all that is necessary for
fair start in life. There is always
a demand for men of good moral
character, practical skill and thor
ough business qualifications. In
the future, as in the past, sue
cess is to be won In the various avenues
Of business, and IL will not be difficult
for those who are thoroughly trained.
Who and where are the young men who
will qualify themselves for successful
careers in these avenues They must
come Of the boys and young men Of to-
day and It is for parents and guardians
TO see to IL that those under their care are
practically trained for such positions as
they may be called upon to fill. Young
men, think OF the future and of what
you may become II you diligently Inn
prove your present opportunities. Re-
member that success in business Is not
the result OF accident or chance, but the
product OF skill, energy, and strict
adherence to fundamental business prin-
ciples. II you wish to succeed in life,
you must obtain the necessary qualifica-

patible with the successful prosecution
