SIGHT

OF all our senses that Of sight is
without doubt the most important, but
We do not stop to consider this when we
subject the eyes to all manner Of strain.
Nor de We realize the far-reaehfnz Infiu-
ence which excessive strain Of the eyes
has In creating troubles IN other parts
Of the body. The various forms Of head
ache, for instance, and disorders Of the
digestion are the most common. It is
said that We have abused these organs
for So many thousands OF years that no
one possesses perfect eyes today.
Imperfect sight is brought about very
early in life In a great many cases by
the neglect OF parents to give attention
to this subject Children are permitted

rooms, read in a dim light, or in moving
cars. or very small print for all Of which
the eyes must suffer. Then, too they
are always affected in the diseases Of
childhood, to which many mothers pay
small heed.
The redness and watering" from the
eyes in measles, and, in fact, in all of
the eruptive fevers, is a familiar picture

be laid upon the Importance Of taking

former years it used to be advised to

Of fresh air and sunshine too much to
exclude them from the sick room. No
we want our little fever patients to have
all the light and air they can get but
We are very careful to protect their
eyes with shields or with colored glasses.
No child objects to wearing either you
may choose, as the relief to the eyes Is
very soothing and grateful.

SENATE IS To PASS
ARMY BILL TOMORROW
Preparedness Measure Slated to Go
Through Loaded Down with
Many Amendments.

The Senate will end the long debate
over the army bill tomorrow afternoon
by passing the bill. In just what form
1t will get through Is a matter Of some
doubt
The bill is being loaded down with
many amendments mostly designed to in
crease the Importance of the National
Guard of the States. "Federalizing and
militia" 1t is called. The amendments
are being added over the protest in most
cases of the chairman of the military
affairs committee of the Senate, Mr..
Chamberlain.
But the conference committee may
correct some OF these matters and make
the bill as 1t finally comes to the two
houses for adoption in the form of con-
ference report conform more nearly to
the original bill reported by the Senate
committee.
