NOT SHAPELY FACES
Features of Those Who
Wear Glasses.

The faces OF the people who wear glasses
may not, as a rule, resemble one another,
but they are very generally faces the fea-
tnres of which are deformed A glass or
pair of glasses on a PERSONS nose proclaims
the owner to possess anything but Truly
shapely face, says the Chicago Tribune. To
say it little differently. pair of glasses,
when of necessity worn, constitute no.
tice to the world that nature was In slur-
ing mood when she nodded the face OF the
wearer. You laugh and say: That's non
ssnse Some of the finest looking people I
ever saw wore glasses" That means you
never examined those ''fine looking peo-
pie temple by temple, cheek by cheek. ear
ny ear, etc You overlooked fact that in
ten to one the shane of their head from
the tip of their ears forward to point be-
tween their eyes was irregular or twisted.
Yes, something of bad build mars the ar
chitecture OF every face that ia accom-
panied By glasses. And it is this bad build
of the features thaE frequently affects the
eye and calls for artificial aids TO sight
Errors of refrsction may result from
many causes, but chiefly from hyperme-
tropla, or far sight, condition of the eye
wherein the member is short from front TO
back, or the lense has not sufficient power
TO shorten the rays of light so they will To-
Gus upon the retina instead of behind 1t.
Ali eyes are hypermetrOpic at BIRTH but
the eyeball increases in length with the
rest Of the body ana the hypermetropIa d.
minisnes until the eyebail becomes normal
Tns symptoms of hypermetropig in an
adult are inability TO LOOK at small objects
or printed matter for any length Of time;
vision bIurs and the person is compelled to
stop and rub the eyes, This for q minute
seems 20 clear the vision. but the trouble
returns again, and after the strength OF
the muscles become exhausted TIE work
must cease.
Many children who are troubled with
nypermetropis of high degree bring their
books close 10 the eyes. Such children are
supposed TO be near sighted and concsye
glasses are given them, which only increase
the trouble instead Of helping it.
The defect that causes more trouble than
all others Is astigDatism, difficulty usual
| ly located in the cornea and due to over
curvature Of the same, the rays OF light
passing through the cornes so that they do
not focus together ct the same point. This
trouble comes most frequently as the re-
suit of want OF symmetry about the per-
/ sens head and face.
Headache is usually very marked symp-
tom OF eye troubles instead Of unhealthful-
ness IN connection with otner portions OF
the body. AT least this is claimed by the
most notable oculists OF the world. When
| a person is inclined to hold his head on one
side in LOOKING sharply at objects astigma-
tlsm may be suspected Few people, par
ticuiarly those of Irregular features. are
free from this most prevalent of all eye
troubles.
L. c. Miller says: ''knowing that DIR.
Tib0its, the ocuist al No. 1852 South Main
street, guaranteed complete correction for
defects of Vision, had him prescribe for
and measure very troublesome astigms-
tism of my eyes. Tue glasses he gave ne
gave perfect vision, removed all headache,
eye strain and Inflammation. Difficult as
my case was l don't think any one could
ask for more sudden, complete and sat-
isfactory result.
