Charles Lincoln Smith. the New Yorker. who
has been ut the Arlington Hotel for the last
four weeks. who In hundreds Of cases has made
a new mark for success. Asked to explain
some OF the reasons for popular neglect OF that
most precious possession-perfect eyesight-he
said
Popular ignorance about the eyes Il easily
accounted for I'm the delicate and involved
structure OF that organ. The optical mechanism
IN one OF the most intricate. To simplify
terms. the eye might he compared to .
Gamers. The rays Of light pass through the
small dark hole. called the pupil through
tissue called the lens which brings the ray
to a focus on the expanded end Of the optic
nerve. called the retina. The nerve conveys
the impression to the brain. II is then that
have sight.
..Now il Is obvious" continued Charles Lin
coin Smith, that any arrangement of this
finely adjusted apparatus the muscles that
control the various parts means trouble. These
muscles are within we'll without the eye
ball turn the eye and focus the sight.
.'Eycstrain Is the ordinary cause Of defects
OF vision. although many children are born
with defective eye muscles whose functions
need correction mt once while they pliabe.
Tho activities of modern business. the surplus
Of reading matter and the intense lights now
used all contribute 10 this cyestran and help
TO make defective vision more common than
ever.
Pain Is tho watchdog. 1t tries to tell
every ono when the eyes are overstraincd The
trouble is that 10 the pain 10 not directly in

liable to pass ID by immaterial or simply as
a headache. Many people go long time with
GU. knowing they have lost the sight OF on"
eye until the strain on the other doing
double duty nearly ruins their vision
Tho solution of the problem is to take away
tho cause by aiding the muscles to do their
proper work and to focus the light rays prop
cry so that the focus IL perfect. Drugs and
eve lotions are worse than useless in these con-
dltons

authorities In the world are agreed that the
intense effort to apply ones eyes when vision
is defective often results in nervous breakdown.
I have known business men to resort to whisky
to relieve this condition when what they needed
was not alcohol. but proper glasses.
1.-THE amazing thing is that eyeslght-this
most precious gift OF man-is neglected and
trined with when prompt attention in most
cases means perfect vision.
Many people imagine that II they once wear
glasses they must continue to wear them dur
ing their lives. This Is not a fact. as in many
cases taken in time the original cause once re-
moved leaves the eyesight normal and the
glasses can be laid aside. In order to have
such success the work must be properly done"

THREE PROMINENT FAMILIES IN.

Man Who EIopsd With Mrs.
snssd-Psepls Of the State Take
Sides

Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 5.-Three Of
the most influential and wealthy fa,nil-
les Of Texas are involved in the trial
which began here today of John B
sneed. accused Of the murder Of Capt
Al! G. Boyce, the millionaire banker.
That the 'unwritten law" will figure
conspicuously is indicated by the state
ment OF the accused man and the
movement Of his counsel.
The killing was the sequel to the
elopement of Sneed's wife with Captain
Boyce's son. and 1t Is forecasted that
much Of the defense will hinge on the
claim that the elder Boyce aided in the
romance.
The killing occurred in the lobby OF
Fort Worth hotel several days after
Mrs. Sneed had been returned from
Winnipeg, whence she and youne
Boyce eloped. After the shooting it is
alleged Sneed said: Is
1T had to be done."
Then he predicted the reasons would
be brought out at the trial.
All Texas more or less is lined up on
one side or the otie for the trial. The
Sneeds. the Boyces and the Snyders-
the latter the family Of Mrs. Sneed-
have been well known in Texas since
earlier generations began contributing
to the states history. A. G. Boyce. Jr.
remains in Canada. At the earnest SO
licititation Of friends he has made nc
attempt to return to Texas since the
elopement and killing.
The trial Jury was completed Satur-
day night.
