Enters the most dangerous period Of

young men fall into them. Health,
mental and physical power are sacFi-

Taking Care of the Eyes.

each line IS read - The use Of tinted
writing papers is very beneficial to the
eyes, but the colors chosen should be
gray, neutral tint or blush green. Red

yellowish green should be avoided.

blinds is injurious to the sight.
An oculist tells of q police detective
who came to him with his eyes in q
shocking condition. He had nearly
blinded himself by looking through such
blinds for several weeks together. La
dies wells, when thick, frequently injure
the sight, especially when of the dot
pattern. The desirability of keeping the
eyes cool is urged. 1t is good plan to
battle the eyes closed every morning
with moderately cold water. The con-

strengthen and preserve the sight. But
if the eyes are actually inhamed, water
of the same temperature as the air in
very cold weather may increase the in

such circumstances, be most beneficial
Slight Inflammation in the eyes may be
relieved by bathing them with cold or
nearly cold tea or the invaluable bo-
racic acid and camphor eyewater, which
may be obtained from any druggist.
