want to say that think the styles
OF today are prettier and more ar
tistic than they ever have been be-.
fore and any one that sees them In
any other light is vulgar and evil
thinking They certainly are more
graceful than full skirts and balloon
sleeves and II IA few men thought tho
subject worthy enough to spend y\ra
In Its perfecting why not look at II as
the elimination OF their art. No
certainly do no think any man has
the right TO say what We should wear
except those who have made It pos
sible to criticise by making the mat,
ter lifelong study from an artistic

(By BYRON DOZIER, M. D., Eye,

While man is Gods masterpiece of
perfection in all creation, the eye is
the most delicate, complex and most
important organ of his body. Ever
exposed to a thousand dangers, and
subject to a multitude of diseases
--often injured by overtaxation, af-
fected by many causes that serve to
impair its usefulness, 1t is neverthe-
less the most imposed upon, most
neglected. and usually the least sci
entifically treated when out Of order
of any other special part of mans
anatomy.
Every day we see evidences of the
proneness of men to postpone the put
ting on OF helpful glasses until per-
manent injury to the optics has been
sustained. Too often also is it the
case that people neglect proper treat
ment of minor defects of the eye which
might have been readily cured but pro-
crastinated until radical injury or ruin
Is a result.
Parents are especially often neg
ligent of the eyes of their children,
and thereby suffer them to become
permanently defective in vision and
thus grow up inefficient for the ac-
complishment of the highest achieve
ments in the mission of life. Much or
the crimes against the eye Is due to
the ignorance of parents, much to pro-
crastination on the part of persons
afflicted, and very much to incompe-
tent doctors and opticians, who at
tempt to do that for which they are
lacking in skill to do.
Many men, who will wear nothing
less than a tailor-made suit of the
best material and exquisite fit, Will
purchase and wear the cheapest of
hand down" glasses, wholly un-
conscious or Indifferent to the fact
that there is as much difference in
grades of glasses as there is in shoes,
hats, sugar, watches or anything else
that is made and sold But much inn
portance as there may be in the quail
ity of glass, a thousand times more
important Is the matter OF correct
ness in the fitting. Not every man
who calls himself an optometrist or
opticians is either by education or
equipment qualified to fit glasses, and
great indeed are the crimes such men
perpetrate upon their victims eyes.
The science or refraction is an exact
science, and for a comprehensive un-
derstanding of its laws as they apply
