ChiIdren's Eyes and GIasses.

Children's Eyes and Glasses.
The eye is the organ that gives
us the sense of sight, and makes
it possible for US to enjoy the
beautiful. Without it man is
placed at a great disadvantage ;
and yet many men who would
leave no stone unturned to save
the eyes Of a horse, will let their
children go through childhood
or possibly through life, with
diseased or deformed eyes and
do little or nothing for them.
They could barter the horse for
more dollars il the eyes were
perfect, but they can not see far
enough into the future, to real
ize that the child would have a
greater earning power when
grown if his or her eyes we're
perfect, or as near perfect as
possible.
Children should not be allowed
to enter school before six years
of age, nor should the child be
allowed to look much at pictures,
blocks or anything requiring
close vision for long at a time,
as fusion Of the vision does not.
take place until about the age of
six, and for that reason children
of four or five years of age
should not be sent to the kinder
garten, as close application of
the eyes at this age causes more
near sighted people than any
other factor. Children are apt to
form the habit of holding their
books close to the eyes while
studying; this causes a strain of
the muscles of the eyes both
within and on the outside of the
eyeball, which is another cause
for near sightedness and is a
cause of cross-eyes.
We often have astigmatism in
children, and, in order to see,
they must hold the book close,
and squirt the eyelids; another
cause for cross-eyes. We occa-
sionally see a child that is ex-
ceeding far-sighted, and who to
see properly, requires a lens even
stronger than does the average
person at sixty years of age.
Poor vision often accounts for
the nervous condition, so often
found in children, headaches and
so-called growing pains. Errors
in vision very frequently cause
cross-eyes and if a child begins
to show symptoms Of cross-eyes,
no matter how young, the eyes
should be properly tested, and if
necessary treated, as such con-
ditions usually increase, and af-
ter they have reached the stage
where one eye only is used, the
other eye loses its vision to a
greater or less degree.
If a child needs glasses they
should be worn, but cheap stores
and peddlers should be avoided.
Reputable eye specialists should
be consulted, for there are many
children and young persons
wearing glasses today who do
not need them, and many are
wearing Incorrect and injurious
glasses.-Th The Journal of the
American Medical Association.

disposed of without affecting any of

The most significant decision In re-"
cent months was in Denver. where
Judge Lewis of the federal court made
sweeping decision and Is said to
have declared. in the record, that the
court was unable to free his mind from
the conviction that there was no in
vention of any kind in connection with
the patents; or in other words. Moth
