Chicago, June 2G.-No one can
90 into our schools or meet a
group of children on the street
without noticing how large a number
of them wear spectacles. The proper
tion seems to increase yearly, and
there are many more who ought to
wear glasses. The experience of one
teacher might be duplicated by the
score. She knew Alice was inatten-
tive and she thought she was unusual
~ stupid. She said so to the principal
and sent a note to the mother, re-
questing that the child be helped at
home if she wished her to keep up
with her class. One day after black
board explanation, the teacher called
upon the child and found that she
had not seen what had been written.
She was kept after school and by dint
of much sympathetic questioning Miss
C. found that Alice had never been
able to see what was put on the board
and that her head had ached so often
and so hard that she frequently failed
to hear what was said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack of proper food, but in our Ameri-
can homes it is usually due to the
poor quality of the artificial light. The
yellow, insufficient light of the ordi-
nary kerosene lamp, with it's smoky
chimney, is about as bad for the eyes
as can be imagined. The Pickering
light from a coal gas jet is but little
better, and even the electric light,
brilliant as it usually is, has an un-
steadiness due to variations in power,
and a glare peculiarly trying to the
delicate nerves of sight. The compar-
atively new illuminant acetylene gas
produces as nearly perfect an artificial
light as has yet been found. 1t gives
a clear white, unwavering light, very
brilliant yet perfectly soft, and so
nearly like the rays of the sun that
even colors appear as in daylight.
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced, and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where a light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches,
schools and institutions of all kinds,
and it is reasonable to expect that as
it's use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, particu-
larly among children. Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.

Rest.

Few people really know how to rest
| Exercise is very necessary to health
and many do not take enough of it;
but on the other hand perhaps even
more people rest too little, or what
amounts to the same thing, do not
rest properly No matter how well de-
veloped the muscles are, if they are
rigid and stiff they will not do the
best work. They must be readily re-
Taxed when not in use Even athletes
if they really understand the laws of
exercise, strive for relaxation as we'll
| as for wel-deyeloped muscles.
Rest means relaXation--not only of
the body, but of the mind also In
America, particularly, we are apt to
forget this. That is why nervous
prostration" is such popular phrase
| just now The Germans, as a nation
go more slowly than we do in all
things; the English and even the
French take life more easily Perhaps
our atmosphere conduces to energy
and hurry, At any rate the popularity
of such words as strenuous, hustle"
and the like, in this country, show our
attitude as nation.
OF course we cannot Immediately
change all this. We do not wish to.
Enthusiasm and energy, hard work
and hard thinking, have brought us
to our present state of prosperity, and
we cannot afford to fall back now. Nor
do we need to. Hard work, whether
OF hand or brain, does not kill, but
continual work and worry do. II we
would secure the future generations
from nervous degeneration, we must
learn how and when to relax.
This is very hard for some tempera-
ments. Some people must have their
hands constantly occupied in some
way and it is difficult of course, to
remember that haste is often slower
than deliberation. We say that have
no time to go slowly.
A great fault in busy people is their
failure to relax thoroughly at night.
Many go to bed and sleep, after a
fashion, but with tense nerves. The
mind should be as Invested of worries
and cares at bedtime as the body is of
clothes. The muscles must be relax
ed. If exercises are taken at night,
they should end in a few especially
for relaxation. Some of the most
helpful of these relaxing exercises
may be mentioned:
/, Stand easily erect, chest raised
and abdomen in, and let the head fall
gently forward then arms and trunk
above the waist. All this must be
done without effort the breath being
gently expelled at the same time Aft
er little pause, raise the body slowly.
2. Stand erect, raise the arms
above the head and let them fall
first the fingers, then the wrists, then
the arms.
8. Let the arms hang at the sides,
then slowly and gently swing them
from side to side, gradually letting the
head and then the body swing with
them.
Remember that your object is to re-
lax the muscles and do all these exer-
cises easily and with as little exertion
as possible.

The Sharon Reporter tells it's
readers in it's last issue of the
advantages to be derived from
the new mail service. It says:
Much has been said to the
effect that the new train will
cause great delay in mail service,
At first it looked worse than now
according to the possible chang
es in main line trains. The
Fargo-Aneta train will leave
Fargo in the evening and go thru
here about 9:15 the same even
ing. It will return from Aneta
about 6:45 in the morning and
arrive in Fargo at $50. A letter
sent to Fargo in the morning can
be answered the same day. We
can also receive the FargoF Forum
only a few hours after it is print
ed. AS to the twin city mail, an
answer to a letter can be had the
next day. The twin city morn
ing dailies can be had the same
day they are published. This
mail service will be way ahead
of the present one"
According to the above the
mail from the east will arrive at
Sharon after the postoffice closes
in the evening and return from
Aneta before it opens in the
MORNING. pretty arrangement

We are pleased to learn of the
interest exhibited in Aneta in it's
band. Last week the ladies of
that enterprising burg gave a
basket social for the boys which
netted 1927. Support is ex-
tremely necessary if a band is
expected to be a success and
our sister city has always been
liberal in that line. We hope to
see our town show more enthu-
siasm in maintaining our band,
which has done such good work
during the short time it has been
in existence.

NEW YORK EDITOR MEETS
WITH MYSTERIOUS DEATH

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-Jacob H,

There is much mystery surrounding

Coroner Schooler was with the injured

Leland Thornton of 125 North Han
cock street, II years old, sustained five
fractures and numerous other serious
injuries yesterday afternoon when
struck by Downey avenue car No. 375
at Hancock street and Downey avenue
while playing with three other lads,
and may live.
Eye witnesses to the accident ex-
onerate the crew of the street car and
say the whole affair was accidental
For some time during the afternoon the
lads had been running back and forth
in the street but had not crossed the
street car tracks.
At the time of the accident west
bound Downey avenue car was stand
ing still and car 375 was approaching
slowly on the opposite track. Just as
the car passed Thornton ran behind
the stationary car and in front of the
moving coach.
The lad was taken on the car to the
receiving hospital. Later he was taken
to the county hospital.
