Glasses and Their
Relation to Health

Though your eyes are normal, thirty per cent of
your nerve force is spent through them. That is the
statement of our best authorities today. Do not
dodge the question with the excuse that you do not
know what nerve energy is, or how to figure per-
centage, for you do. If an auto used more gasoline
than some other of a different make, in running over
the same distance, or if you found a pillow that pulled
harder, or a cooking stove that consumed more fuel
for cooking done; in any of these cases you would
stop the waste. Now use the same common sense
and stop the excessive drain on your nerve force due
to refractional errors and incoordination of the mus
Giles that control the eye, for these conditions pro-
duce nervousness which will later lead to physical
and mental ailments, and unfit you for the duties be-
fore you and fill your life with pain, misery, and
woe, where sweet contentment should reign-all for
the want of a pair of properly fitted glasses.
Yes, give the eyes as much attention as the teeth.
The former are used fourteen hours each day, while
the latter for only twenty minutes, three times a day.
Furthermore, if the teeth get beyond the point of
repair they can be replaced by artificial ones. Not
so with the eyes. This would naturally lead you to
ask, Why do not the eyes receive more attention?
The answer has been given because the p~racticing
physicians knowledge of the eye has not been suffi-
Gent to realize the full value of correctly fitted
glasses and their relation to health. If you are
wearing glasses are you satisfied that they are
right? If you are not wearing glasses do you

either case you should not delay in finding out if
glasses, or a change of glasses, will help you.
When it comes to testing eyes and fitting
glasses we are in a position to serve you better than
anyone else. It may not be known to you, but DIR.
A. o. Void, even if he lives in Langdon, can show
better qualifications for fitting glasses than any
other man in the state of North Dakota. He grad

structions will be the same for all stu
dents. At the conclusion of this pc
riod and for the two months following
the students will be grouped into or

tions.

have a comparatively easy time the
first four days they are in camp. One
hour each day will be devoted to
practice marches, without arms. The
men also will drill three hours each
day. Part of the time will be devot-
ed to physical exercises, the schooling
of soldier, sighting and semaphore
signaling. Conferences will be held
or the care OF equipment, infantry

follows; Physical, % hours; school

der, a hours; manual of the bayonet,
% hours; manual OF the saber, hour;
position and aiming, % hours; signal
ing. semaphore, hours. Confer |
ence on infantry dill regulations and
on guard duty will occupy fifteen
hours. The men will be given a prac-
tice march, with light kit, for two
hours.
During the third week the men will
be drilled specially, so far as position
and aiming are concerned, in decision
and elevation. Flags will be used for
the first time in signaling. During
