come the blur and get a perfect iy clear image. The strain brought about to correct the as- tlgmatic image leads to stiffness and cramps of the muscles with headaches, and in severe cases to an actual stretching of the eyeball. The Surest way to stop the ever-increasing dangers of near-slghtedness is to correct as- tlgmatism by means of properly ilttlng glasses during the grow Ing period. Recently statistics show that in accordance with this method of treatment. near Slghtedness is becoming less. Many children are obliged to wear glasses when reading or during the period of greatest straln, they can frequently lay aside the glasses when they have attained their full growth. The greatest amount of strain is dur ing reading or sewing or the use ot the eye for close work. It is, therefore, much better to allow the child to use glasses duing the growing period, at least and avoid strain than it is to run the danger of developing a near slghtedness, which is a perma- nent condition. and which is apt to progress to a point of damag- ing the vision.

THE WEARING OF GLASSES
 BY YOUNG PEOPLE

ltis apparent that more child |en are wearing glasses than ! used to be the case, and the ques- : ton frequently occurs as to the cause of this state of affairs. Are the children having too heavy demands made on them. or are glasses being ordered when there is no necessity for them. It is undoubtedly the lact that the average child now adays has more schoolwork than lllomerly, and among all classes lne eyes of the child are being used for near work to a greater 3lent than was the case a gen. eatlon ago. During the grow ngp period of the child, the outer saVelope, or supporting tissue of ,ae eyeball, does not attain it's lull degree of frmness and hard asss. and any strain on the fo- usSlng muscles has a tendency

qulfes no special knowledge to appreciate the fact that tissue when stretched is weaker than
 before and is likely to go on stretching, and this is the dan- ger in near-sighted eyes. Such eyes are apt to stretch and grow worse until the child attains it's full growth, and the tissues have a chance to become hard and firm, hence, it is during the per- iod of growth that damage to the eyes is most apt to occur. If the stretching of the eyeball goes beyond a certain point, the deli cate nerve tissues inside the eye lare apt to become stretched to an extent which they cannot stand, and tears and breaks oc- cur in them with damage to the sight. These breaks cannot be remedied, nor for that matter can the eye when it is once stretched come back to it's nor mai size. In very high degrees of stretching even blindness may result. There is a current be- lief that near-sightedness runs
 in families, and this, while part ly true, is really an unfortunate misconception. Certain families have softer tissues in the eye than others, and their eyes stretch more easily to a certain
 degree of strain, This should only make such people more eau tious to avoid strain and does
 not by any means imply that it is necessary for such children to be near-sighted. The cause of this strain in the young child is astigmatism. There are other contributing causes, such as a too short eye ball, poor general
 health which makes the tissues
 weaker and less resistant, and
 also the disposition of the child,
 some children preferring to sit and read all day rather than to go out and exercise in the open
 air. All these questions must receive proper attention if near sightedness is to be prevented,
 but that astigmatism is the prin- cipal cause is well"known. This
 word is becoming rather fami- liar, and yet it's meaning is con- |stantly misunderstood. Many
 people suppose that astigmatism
 means a difference in the two eyes, which is entirely wrong. It
 is an irregularity of the front
 part of the eye where the curv- es should be symmetrical but are
 not. This irregularity or inc quality of the curves makes ob- jects appear blurred. Certain
 lines in the objects are blurred,
 and this causes the eye to make strong muscular efforts to over

GERMANY AND THE U. s.
By Theodore SutrO, Editor of the New York German

Journal. Among the leading nations of the world Germany is the only one that has had no war for the last A years.
 Russia and Japan were fight ing only a few year ago. Pre- vious to that Japan had her war with China and Russia her war with Turkey.
 France and Italy had their wars in northern Africa. Eng land had her struggle with the Boers.
 The United States and Spain were at war in 1898. Portugal had civil war. Chile and Peru had their war. There was civil strife in Brazil.
 Bulgaria, Servia and Greece have been at war more than once. So has little Montenegro. Austria-Hungary had the occu- patton of Bosnia, Mexico has been one large battle field for over a year.
 Germany alone among the big nations of the world has kept her peace for A years. And for 26 out of these A years a so-called war lord has been the Emperor of Germany.
 England, France and Russia charge Germany with having started a great European war. Germany denies having been the aggressor.
 History will decide this point, and in the meantime it behooves American to reserve their judge ment.
 Americans never had any trouble with Germany or with any German state. Prussia was the first of all nations to recog- nize the independence of the United States. Prussia sent us Friedrich Wilhelm von Stuben to organize the army that finally drove the British from these shores.
 Germans have helped to build up Americas cities; they have cultivated American soil; they have established American in dustries, encouraged commerce, fostered art and promoted civic righteousness. They have al- ways been loyal defenders of their adopted country-the Unit ed States.
 Every reader of every Amer ican newspaper personally knows some Germans. He works side by side with them, trades with them, meets them in the streets, in church, in clubs, in every walk of life.
 The average American reali- zes the Germnas are not Ogres who eat children for breakfast, or cutthroats who infest dark al- leys with a gun in one hand and lead pipe in the other. The Germans who have made America their homes are the same ordinary, everyday human being as their brothers and cou- sins now fighting in Europe for their hearths and homes, their mothers, wives and children. The Germans who are now struggling for the very existence of their country are the same or dinary, sociable human beings as the average home-lOving Ameri- cans who are pround of their country and ready to fight for it's flag.
 Americans have no reason to hate Germans or Germany. The
