A Child's Disposition,

May be ruined through existing defects in
eyesight. Children are often called dull and
stupid by teachers and parents through no
fault or their own. Perhaps born with a
defect in sight, they don't know of any differ
ent world from that which they see through
defective eyes Mark any peculiarities that
children may have in looking at objects at a
distance or near by. Squirting, frowning,
looking sidewise, with partially closed eyes
are indications of eye troubles. Better be
over cautious in having a childs eyes
examined than to take too much responsible
ity into your own hands. Examination free.
CHILDREN'S EYES
Should have careful attention. They
should be examined at the first complaint by
a reliable optician-especially while the
child is in school.
A little care at the proGer time may save
them untold misery and heir parents much
remorse. A defect that may be easily
remedied NOW might prove difficult LATER.
All diseases of the eye correctly diagnosed.
Exam ination Free.-W. w. Taggart, Boxrud
