HOW THE EYES ARE ABUSED.
Headaches, Which Often Mean Eye
Strain, Put Down to Liver or
Indigestion.

MANY a woman who takes great
care of her diamonds lets her eyes
take care Of themselves, often to their
lasting injury. Seldom, too, are the
eyes Of young people watched as they
should be. headaches, which may
and often do mean eye strain, are put
down to liver trouble or indigestion,
and home remedies are administered
for these ailments when what Is real.
ly needed is a visit to the oculist. And
going to an optician merely is not
enough, since his business is to suit
the eye with glasses .only-which they
may or may not need. The 'oculist
suits the treatment to the eye, and It
Is better to err on the side OF going
to him without reason than to stay
away when there may be need to 60.
Considering the delicate mechanism
of the eye, it is astonishing how much
abuse it bears. Women go about peer.
Ing through wells Of heavy and intrt-
cate patterns, most harmful to the
vision. Both men and women read
constantly in street cars, than which
nothing Is worse. Children are al
lowed to read in insufficient light and
In the cleaning. And seldom Indeed
does anyone tnKe care, when reading
or working, to be in the right position
with regard to the light.

AWFUL BURNING ITCH CURED
In A DAY

In the middle of the night of March
30th l woke up with a burning itch In
my two hands and I felt as If I could
pull them apart. In the morning the
itching had gone to my chest and dur
ing that day it spread all over my
body. I was red and raw from the top
of my head to the soles of my feet and
l was in continual agony from the
itching. 1 could neither lie down nor
sit up. I happened to see about Cuti.
cura Remedies, and l thought l would
give them a trial. I took a good bath
with the Cuticura Soap and used the
Cuticura Ointment. I put it on from
my head down to my feet and then
went to bed. On the first Of April I
felt like a new man. The itching was
almost gone. I continued with the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
and during that day the itching com
pletely left me. Frank Gridley, 1926

MAD MOTHERS BAD ACT.
Pennsylvania Woman Kills Her H.
Year-Old Daughter and Then
Shoots Herself.

Scranton, Pa.-Mrs. Harriet Tur-
ner, 40 years Of age, shot and killed
her i7-ycar-old daughter, Marjorie,
and then sent a bullet into her own
breast ~inflicting what physicians
believe to be a fatal wound. The
tragedy was discovered by a milk
man who found Mrs. Turner half
buried in is inches of snow on her
front porch.
Mrs. Turner's husband, William
and her son, Willard, are in the
University Of Pennsylvania hospital,
at philadelphia. The husband is in
a critical condition from asthma and
the son is being treated for blind
ness in one eye. The authorities
believe that worry over her family
trobles temporarily dcranged Mrs.
Turner's mind.
An ~11-year-old son was not HARM
ed. Mrs. Turner told the doctors
that she loved the boy too much to
take him along with her into death,
but she thought the daughter would
have too many troubles in life and
decided to shoot her.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby.

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a drug-cafeine-which Is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when | vas a child in my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used 10
give me sips Of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals l
never Knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
And SO / contracted the coffee
habit early. l remember when quite
young the continual use Of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley. then
ground it in the coffee-mill, as a SUBJ
stitute for coffee.
"But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard
of. I continued to use coffee until l
was q, and when l got into Office
work, l began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast l was SO
nervous I could scarcely attend to my
correspondence.
"At night, after having coffee for
supper, I could hardly sleep, and On
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try
Postum. Ny wife and I did not like
1t at first, but later when boiled good
and strong it was fine. Now We would
not give up Postum for the best coffee
we ever tasted.
II can now get good sleep, am free
from nervousness and headaches. l
recommend Postum to all coffee drink
ers."
