ScreWing up the Eyes.

Disastrous to the beauty of child's expression is the habit of screwing up the eyes. The trick points very plain. ly to defective vision and calls aloud for a visit to an oculist. The visit must not be delayed, for ugly wrinkles around the eyes is the least evil of this defect. A snort-sighted child is severely handicapped when it begins in school life, and neglected myopia leads to serious eye trouble in later life Properly prescribed spcctacles are all that is required to end this particular trouble
