 many people, by getting next to nature" in out-of-door living, with good food and plenty of sleep, wil be getting the best pos- sible tonic for restoring tired bodies and jaded nerves. A few words of caution at this time, however, may not be inappro-
 priate If you are planning to spend a large part of the time on the golf links, or the tennis courts, or on the water. there is certain degree of danger to the eyes unless they are protected in some way from this excessive exposure to the
 sunlight. Marked irritation, congestion, and even blindness Is at times produced by the glare of strong light, either direct or reflected These conditions occur among Arctic explorers from the glare of snow and ice; among mountain climbers from intense sunlight among laboratory workers from the glare of electric and mercury vapor lights. Blindness has re- the sun. The cause of this can be better understood if we remember that ordinary sunlight Is made up of rays of light hav- ing different colors and different physical properties. These colors can be seen by causing small beam of sunlight to pass through @ glass prism; the ray of light is in this way broken up into it's component parts and we see a band of six or seven colors-ah exact reproduction of a section of the rainbow-known as the solar spec trum. Beyond each extremity of this spec 
 tho human eye. It has been found by in- vestigation and experiment that it is these invisible rays that are especially injurious to the eyes. In order to guard against these injuries, protective glasses should be worn. Blue or smoked glasses are not suitable for this purpose, as they shut out so much light distant vision Is impos- sible. For many years attempts have been made to discover some form of glass which would fulfil these two require ments: protect the eyes from the harmful portion of the suns rays, and at the same time not to have illumination appre- ciably reduced. Glasses are now manu- factured, of an amber tint, which very nearly accomplishes this result. These spectacles are now in quite general use by yachtsmen, engineers, aviators, infan- trymen engaged in target practice, and others whose occupations keep them ex- posed to long continued exposure to bright light. They can be worn with equal ad- vantage while playing golf or tennis, and in fact most of the out-of- door sports Many people who are obliged to wear glasses all the time, have a pair made In this kind of glass, and use them con stantly for street wear with much com- fort.

We AnsWer o. Question
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A READER writes this letter to Mr. Atwood,
IA whom employ to advise readers how
"Why do you spend all your time in advising about
bonds, and farm mortgages and gilt edge preferred
stocks? No get rich by investing his savings
in gilt edge stuff You know that lucky Investments
worth lifetime OF saving. Why don't you help
to find that one lucky investment"
We have decided to answer this question ourselves
N the first place, it is not the purpose of Mr..
Atwood's department. of this magazine, to
help readers to get rich. The purpose of this maya
zine is to help its readers to be more useful men and
women. And the most useful men and women in
the world have not been the richest
Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and added to country the great
west of the Mississippi, reduced to poverty in
his old age.
Lincoln, who saved the Union, had $40 600 when
he was elected President, and said he hoped some
day to have 100000, which was all the money
any man ought to want
Agassiz the great scientist, said: II have not
time to get rich .; and most of the men who have
rendered the largest service to the world have felt
likewise.
+ you want to know the second reason why MIR.
Atwood advises you to instead of speculate,
read the inventory of the estate of the next rich
who dies.
See how much junk is in his safe deposit vault.
Notice that the real money he has made has been
]. made by hard work in some enterprise of real
service to the world. The worthless stocks and
bonds in his strong box, the junk, represent his
occasional efforts to get rich quick through what
our correspondent calls "lucky investment
Insurance men state that most men at the age of
forty have saved something; but nine out of every
ten men who reach the age of sixty-fve depen-
dent.
Why?
Partly because they have lost the savings which
would have made them comfortable, in trying for
lucky investments to make them rich.
This is the reason why Mr.. Atwoods articles are
all in favor of solid investment instead of lucky in
vestment.
