Stupid Child May
Be Unable To See
Woman Physician Makes Plea for
Backward Pupil; Remedy Easy
and Certain

at is not at all uncommon to con-
slider a child stupid, blame him for
lack of interest in his studies, or even
punish him for outbursts of temper,
when defective vision is the only
cause. Medical inspection of school
children has shown that fifteen per
cent are suffering from bad eyesight,
undiscovered until the school doctor
calls it to the attention of the parents.
"Some of the most aggravated
cases are caused by bad conditions
in the schoolroom, and this is only
one of the reasons why parents
should take an active interest in the
school which their children attend.
All books used by children should be
printed in clear type, well spaced on
unglazed paper. The blackboards
should be black, not dirty gray which
results from lack of washing and the
desks should be placed in relation to
the windows so that the light comes
in at the left side.
"At home the child should study
or read in a well-lighted room. In
the daytime by the window, at night
by low light, well shaded, so that
there is no direct glare. In any event,
the light should always shine over
the left shoulder or side, so that
there will be no shadow on the book
or paper. Excessively long hours are
always strain on the eyesight, as
we'll as on the nervous system. Blur
ring of the words or the sensation OF
the lines running together is sure
indication of eye fatigue. If any symp-
toms of eye strain develop, no mat
ter how early, the child should be
taken to competent oculist at once

out in long strings. Microscopic ex-
animation of the secretion reveals
masses of what appear to be crystals.
Until recently no satisfactory expia-
nation of the presence of these cry
stalls in the eye has been given. Sc
erection taken from the eyes of two
sisters suffering from this peculiar
complaint were submitted to the pro-
fessor of pathology of one of the I'm
iversity medical schools, who found
that the crystals came from rice face
powder. Seven other patients in
which the same symptoms and mi
croscopic conditions were found all
used the same make of face powder.

face with puff portion of the fine

which the patients, invariably wom-

believe the German dispatches die

Judge Gerard has rendered splendid
service at Berlin and there is no reason
why his success as diplomatic rep
should stand in the way of
his promotion in his home state.
We have had nothing but praise
from those who have come in contact
with him. and. as you know, he has
passed through very trying times.
Aside from my appreciation of his
work in connection with our foreign
service I feel sure he would make an
excellent representative of the great
state of New York in the United States
Senate and his election would also be
construed as an Endorsement of the
policies of the administration of the
President and as an intention on the
part of the people to support him in

POWELL is ALMOST
SOLID FOR THOMAS.

That Senator Claude NJ Thomas
will carry Powell County over his OPP
ponent, Congressman j. Campbell
Cantrill for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Congress from the Seventh
District is as certain as that he is
running.
So strong has the tide set in for
Senator Thomas, who voices the SEN
timent of 80 per cent. of the Demo
Gratis of Powell County on the sub
ject of the liquor traffic that Con-
gresham Cantrill's friends there got
busy and brought him there Friday to
make a speech in the attempt to turn
the tables on his opponent, who is
daily gaining strength.
Powell County is one of the closest
counties in the State, usually going
Democratic by as high as $50 major
ity. There are 500 Democratic voters
in the county and the Thomas adher-
ents say they will poll $50 votes.
