WHY GLASSES ARE

ut is only within relatively re-
cent years." he said chat we
have come to recognize the rela-
ton between the eyes and that
group of symptoms that we know
means eye strain. That the eyes
of the human family are being
destroyed is not true. That our
remote forefathers had better
eyes and sight than we have
probably is not true. That they
had less trouble with their eyes
may be true, but if so such was
the case simply because they
used their eyes for reading much
less thar we do now. Forty
years ago relatively few children
continued long in school and
those who did strive for higher
eduation, in spite of severe eye
strain, had no means of knowing
that glasses would relieve their
discomforts.
"The best way to conserve the
eyesight and prevent the disease
associated with eye strain is to
correct, especially in early school
life, all errors in the formation of
the eyes by means of glasses.
Nothing short Of the most skill
full examination and most care
full and accurate adjustment of
glasses is adequate"
Here are some of the common
symptoms of eye strain: Rapid
fatigue of eyes during reading
and writing; headache; pain in
the eyes; blurring of print feel.

Advance in Price of Eyeglasses.

Advance in Price of Eyeglasses.
Along with the advance in the
price of bread and other neees-
stiles Of life, an advance in the
price Of eyeglasses of from %
to 500 has been announced by
the manufacturers. The adj
vance is on lenses, on the styles,
sizes and varieties most COM
monty used. 1t is estimated 49,
100000 people in the United
States use glasses.
The manufacturers are making
no explanation concerning the
causes of the advance, but the
wholesalers, attribute the adj
vance to two causes, viz
changes in the labor laws COM
pelllng manufacturers to employ
experienced men for work for
merly done by women and girls,
and to the eyeglass wearing pub
lie as they are more particular in
the quality of lenses and styles
there are fashions in eyeglasses
as much as in hats. One of the
fashions, or fads, is to use larger
lenses than formerly and this
adds to the cost.

board feet of timber and super
vising the cutting on several
thousand different areas, over
seeing the grazing of more than
100000 cattle and 900
sheep, and building more than
900 miles Of road, 1000 miles of
trail, 5000 miles of telephone
line, and 700 miles of fire line are
some of the things which the
government forest service did
last year, as disclosed in the re-
port by the chief forester for
1914. These activities were all
on the national forests, which at
present total about 1876, 900, 900
acres.
There is need, says the chief
forester, to increase the cut tim
Der from the national forests
wherever a fair price can be OBJ
tanned for the stumpage, be-
cause a great deal Of it is mature
and ought to be taken out to
make room for young growth.
UnfavOrable conditions in the
lumber trade causes new sales of
national forest timber to fall off
somewhat during the past year,
though the operations on out
standing sales contracts brought
the total cut above that of the
previous year by 130,000,000
board feet. There was, however,
a big increase in small timber
sales, these numbering 1928 in
1914 against 6,182 the previous
year. Desirable blocks of nat
ional forest timber have been APP
praised and put on the market,
and it is expected that these will
find purchasers when conditions
in the lumber industry improve.
All told, the government receiv-
ed S1,304, 053.66 from the sale of
timber on the forests in 1914,
The receipts from all sources to-
tailed $2,437,71O.21.
