HEALTH HINTS

Eyesight is one Of the most orecI.
Gus OF all human possessions. II is
estimated that there are about 400.
600 blind persons in the United States
It costs about $15,000,0o0 a wear to
support them. Probably rs ner cent
OF this blindness lie due to two causes:
sore eyes at birth and neglected eyes
during early school life. Accidents
and careless habits in later life cause
most Of the remainder.
Eye.stratn leads to many other dis.
orders. Vertigo, indigestion, insonl-
MIA, headache, neuralgia and similar
complaints are often due to the ewes.
Much eye strain can be avoided by
Just little care.
Among the number of faulty reading
or working habits that produce eve.
strain arc reading or working in A dim
or Pickering light, especially at the
close OF q day.
II you have to read while riding
on train or in q street car do not
rest your book or arm on any part of
the seat, but hold It in your hand or
hands, so that II will move with the
body and not be going in one way
while the head and eyes are swinging
in another.
Never read with a bright light shin.
ming directly in your face. but try to
get 1t over one or the other shoulder,
or shining down over your head.
Try TO hold your reading matter
at an angle so that the light reflect.
ed from the paper will not shine direct
ly in your eyes.
Never rub the eyes with unclean
hands or gloves. Many cases of dis.
eased eyes may be avoided by simply
following this common sense rule.

SOLDIER
INSURANCE

One of the uses to which il is pro-
posed to devote part of the proceeds
OF Liberty Loan bonds is to afford
to our soldiers and sailors life and
indemnity insurance and to provide
for allowances to their dependent fam
lilies while they are in the ranks. On
this point Secretary McAdoo, whose
plan OF insurance for our fighting men
was endorsed by President Wilson
and is now embodied in a law pending
before congress, says:
every soldier and sailor who
serves his country In this war will
earn everything the proposed war in.
surance bill provides; to be a bene-
ficiary of the proposed law will be a
badge of honor.
when we draft wage Garner, we
call not only him but the entire family
to the flag; the sacrifice entailed is
not Invisible. The wife and children,
the mother, the father, all are in.
volved to the sacriflce-they directly
bear the burden OF defense. They
suffer Just as much as the soldier, but
in different way, and the nation
ton must generously discharge as Il
proud privilege the duty of maintain.
ing them until the soldiers and sail.
ors return from the war and resume
the responsibility.
1--WE have drawn the sword to vim.
dictate Americas violated rights. to
restore peace and justice. and to Sc.
cure the progress OF civilization. We
cannot premit our soldiers, while they
hold the front to be stabbed in the
back by uncertainty as to what Is
being done for their loved ones at
home. Our tomorrows are In their
hauds-theirs in ours. The national
conscience will not permit American
soldiers and their dependents to go
unproyided with everything that a
Just. generous and noble people can
do to compensate them for the suffer.

By death OF human suffering where

person, says the New York Work..
the suggestion is aDhor:ent A; its

Killing in extreme cases, speaking
frpm personal experience. based his
arguments on the ground of humanity.
II is precisely on the plea OF human
ity that the stifrest opposition will b.
encountered when sentiment protests
against this form OF relief for patients
to whom death would be welcome
release. Since the days when savage
tribes thought it expedient to rid
themselves of weaklings and crippies
by exposure, the world has swung to
the opposite extreme in the effort to
prolong human life under the most I'M
favorable conditions. No case is any
longer too desperate to justify fsllur.
To adopt any steps known to science
that may keep breath in dying body.
No man wounded in battle is too hope
lessly mangled to excuse negligence
in patching him up into semblance to
his former self, although all the rcs(
OF his life he may be condemned to be
a helpless wreck.
Whether the public can be brought
around to the view of progressive
medicine" that some lives are too
worthless to be saved, and that mercy
demands that they will be terminated.
Is extremely doubtful. In It's present
stage the scheme is purely academic.
