BIG HATS HURT EYES.
Polka-DOtted Wells Do Untold Damage,
Saws Chicago Professor.

Chicago, April f3--sDon't kiss the
baby on the eye: don't read with your
logs crossed; don't wear veil, and ta-
boo big hats if you wish to prevent opti-
cal diseases and blindness
This was part ofgthe address Of Or.
George II. Snker to the Chicago Medical
society.
Most great artists have perfect eyes.
and few ever succeed In that line with
only one. You don't see with the eye,
but with the brain, and if the nerves at
tached to those two organs could be
transposed you would see with the ears
and hear with the eyes. Every baby Is
crosseyed at some stage of is career,
and our blind institutions are filled with
persons whose eyes were neglected dur
ing the first five days Of birth.
Heavy wells and especially those with
polka dots. DO untold damage.
