MYoPIA.


Myopia, or near sighted" is that
state Of refraction where the retina Is
behind the focal point Of the eye, and
to get a clear image Of the object you
are required to bring itclose up to the
eye. 1t Is sometimes called a disease
Of civilization" because it is very sell
dom found among sayages Or unciyi-
lized countries.
1t may be hereditary, or acquired,
the latter among children by contin-
uous use of their eyes at short distance
before the eyes are fully developed OF
matured.
This is one Of the defects that Is
attracting, at the present time, the
attention Of the best authorities both
in this country and in Europe and
which they attribute mostly to our
present school method.
IL is very difficult to treat, as its
origin is uncertain.
Ordinary cases in grown people are
not so difficult, except In over correc-
tion, which means nerve strain and
nerve strain means headaches, etc.

Correspondence OF the Ledger.
COTTONWOOD SPRINGS, Aug. 3D.
Clean out your wells and your ponds
and be ready for the big food, which
will come along about some time.
A new paper, the Cottonwood Sharp
shooter, is soon to "wave over the land
of the free and the home Of the
brave" Just watch for it.
Mr.. Peck and family are visiting
relatives near Rowena.
We sec that u friends, Messrs.
Staples and Hulen, are back from
Texas. We had predicted that the
boys had taken too many drinks Of
Cottonwood water to stay away more
than a week and a half or two weeks.
The health Of this community was
never b~etter-can't be otherwise. The
weather is hot and dry, but we must
take what comes along this line.
The dovecrop hasgreatly diminished
since viii Gregg and Charlie Craig
visited this section. Billie Carter did
not come home early enough to get
any birds or do any fine Italian shoot
ing.
Logan Bybee and sons, Leslie and
Curtis, and Mr.. Baker have returned
from a fishing tour down near Victor,
Monroe county. They caught some
powerful big fish and had lots Of fun.
They also have on hand some big fish
stories.
Mr.. Carpenter, who recently dug a
we'll, has abandoned it and will dig
at another spot. He found water, but
it contained too much mineral proper
ties for family use.
Among the many visitors who hon.
ored the Springs with a visit the past
week, we noticed Mr.. and Mrs. M. K.
Hook. They, like everyone else, par
took OF the elixir of life and went
away much pleased with what they
saw and heard.
Col. Willard Potts chaperoned his
friend, Col. Solder, TO the Springs a
few day ago. Col Solder is travelling
agent for Lemp's Brewing Co., st.
Louis. OF course, they enjoyed this
visit out to see us and we were pleased
to see them.

Springs water, grows better with age
as it bubbles, sizzles and flows down

has just returned from a pleasant visit
to Monroe county friends.

young people were present and the
