they wOald doubtless rdcule the idea thar to gaze
long ct even pleasing objects could iniure their
health.
And yet sight is an active function, This fact is
fHlly understood by modern scientists especially by
physicians and alienists Ia charming and mas
lerly little book recently published, entitled "The
Eye, Mind Energy and &atter," the author, DR.
Chalmers Prentice, gives a striking illustration OF
this fact. He says: ''AlthOGgh we see apparently
without effort and without VolitiOn, yet every mo-
ment Of vision is costing it's adequate amOnnt OF vi
tai energy. True, we cannot estimat. Just how
much energy is utilized in looking for given length

know that many nervous persons are very exhaust

attracting their attention. Some are more exhausted
by one hour Of such effort with the eyes than they
would be BY ten houre Of manual labOr consequently
the same amount Of vital force that would be reQuir.
ep for ten hours OF labor may be expended in one

Tie author also lays down the proposition that the
efficacy Of the open air treatment IN the cure Of con-
sumption is due much to the relief from eye strain
which includes energy strain brain-strain, rs to
the curative qualities Of fresh air. The conservation
Of energy in the treatment Of consumption is OF the
highest importance, and DR.. Prentice shows the
relation as follows
every time person quits close occupation and
goes out Of doors, where long range Of vision canbe
enjoyed there is feeling OF general relief, due to
'lettng-up' Of energy strain Of various degrees.
'Il you are tired and nervous, go to the window
and for a few minutes look of in the far distance.
At the time take note Of the soothing, calming
feeling that comes over your entire being. Then
turn again to doing something that requires close
range Of vision, and at once the nervousness will
return. This is simple, easy thing to do and viii
afford you much valuable information.
'Businesss men, when tired often close their eyes

the eyes has such calming effect is because one
