Where Nanifp Is Harmful

1t is no exaggeration to say that peo-
pie willfully or ignorantly abuse the eyes
more than any other part OF the body.
Silly vanity prompts the non-use OF
glasses until the eyes are so strained
that serious consequences follow. the
most formidable of which is opacity OF
the crystalline lens commonly known
as cataract, for which there is no rem
edy except the knife or system of alb
sorption which merely keeps the foe at
standstill for time.
When there is a dull. heavy main in
the lower part OF the head. with sharp
irregular pains extending over the back
Of the neck above the ears and also
around the eyeballs. with more or less
throbbing pain through the temples and
forehead, you may be sure the eyes
need rest and glasses. The SYMPTOMS
mentioned are usually more noticeable
after an evening at the theater or any
place where an effort is made to con-
centrate the sight on a given point for
a length OF time. One or all of the
symptoms may be present. according to
the fatigue suffered. Keeping the eyes
fixed upon swiftly-moving objects is the
most conclusive test of perfect vision

A DELICATE SKIN.

ruin a dry skin. In brief. such a skin
must be treated a good deal like bit

Keep the skin clean by using tepid

In fact, the ceinture is playing
specially important part just now, not
only in the general contour Of the cos

leather belts in deep colors or popular
tints are very useful In producing these
touches. They are worn with cloth

nearly so we'll attended as it should
have been. Rev. Brav is one of the

and has ideas and knows how to ex-

He sroke of the fact that the
church had dropped that which the
secret societies had taken up, that is
brotherly love and human kindness
and charity ane the other qualities
that make the secret orders so popular
He said that the church would have
to take back what they had lost and
use more brotherly love and fraterual
kindness. if they would have the
church grow.
