HOW TO CORRECT EYE
STRAIN IN CHILDREN.

Eye strain is said To lac largely
a defect of civilization 10 coun-
teract Ii children should be en-
couraged to use their eyes at long
range, and older persons should
so train themselves.
A teacher who has surpris-

among her pupils attributes it to
her practice of having the schol-
airs drop their work at the end of
each hour and look out of the
window There is contest over

and trains eyes and teaches OBJ
servation.
A woman who does fine sewing
for her living found her eyes
strained and weak. She was adj
vised to drop her sewing every
half hour and look Tor a minute
into space. Relief was quick, and
the eye strain disappeared.
Nearsighted persons who hold
their book or work close will ease
