mense demand for hay in Alaska dur
ing the construction Of the Stickeen

(TALK NO. 59)
AFrER.EFFEcTS,

Probably two-thirds OF the people
who have trouble with their eyes, can
date their symptoms back to some
disease. They can remember that
the first indication of defective vision
developed itself as q result Of Measles,
Scarlet Fever. Diphthsria or some
other severe illness. All Of these dis
eases have a weakening eject upon
the muscles of the eye. While In most
cases slight defect existed before the
disease, the eyes were sufficiently
strong to overcome it and there were
no harmful results. After the dis
eass the eyes were no longer capable Of
throwing Of the defect and IL de-
veloped into constant irritation. This
could have been prevented by wearing
glasses for few months after recov-
cry. By keeping the defective con.
ditions under control until the eyes
resumed their normal tone there would
have been no further trouble. II eve
ry child would wear glasses for
short tire after an Illness OF this
kind, many cases of permanent In
Jury could be avoided.
