About 40 per cent of the people
need 10 wear glasses nowadays, ~
said DR.. Roberts In speaking of eyes.
But OF course not all of these people
wear them. Four people out OF ten
have some trouble with their eyes
and attribute the trouble to some
other cause. IL may be nearsight-
edness; It may be an inequality oil
the eyes. but. whatever IL is, there Is
a way 10 help It.
A great many people have trouble
with their eyes aud do not know
what 1t is. They attribute 1t to over
work OF the eyes, sometimes, and
sometimes lay it TO headache aud
neuralgia, while 1t is merely the pro-
test of a defective eye which has
been forced by will power to do work
beyond its strength or to keep up
with the other eye.
"The troubles commonest among
young people are myopia or near
sightedness, and hyperopia of FAR
sightedness, aud the latter predomi-
mates, but many are far-sighted who
are not conscious Of it, and hence
the trouble Is seemingly less COM
mon, which is made apparent by the
person so afflicted endeavoring to
overcome the defect by holding the
object close 10 the eye.
1.-The question is often asked
What is the cause Of so many young
people wearing glasses p Many un-
Justly claim It Is for style, without
stopping to think of the increased
strain upon the eyes Of the young
people of today compared with forty
or fifty years ago. Our schools have

tive effort, the question is easily and

mechanism of the eye Is composed
largely Of muscles and nerves, sub
lect to the same physical changes as
the rest of the nervous and muscular
system, IL is cnly natural sequence
that it should give way under con-

The general belief that one can
preserve the eyesight by simple
remedies and home treatments Is
not 10 be condemned, as there is
much truth In it, but IL Is carried to
extremes by too many people. In

their habits in life as the change is
only temporary, and unless other
steps are taken, their ability TO use

competent skill and II glasses are
prescribed, 10 use them and continue
the regular use OF your eyes until
they nave regained their strength,
when the glasses can frequently be
discarded"
