A defective eye is compelled to over
exert itself in proportion to the de-
ficiency Of curvature or direct in the
formation of the eye. The muscles OF
the eye are forced 70 adjust the crys'
talline lens and create the curvature
in the crystalline lens that is def.
cient. 49,.
One may see perfectly and still the
eyes be very defective. Any defect is
overcome by a strained effort and me-
chanical adjustment of the muscles of
the eye. A defective eye. in the con-
slant effort to create the curvature

of the body; that is to say, the energy
that should go to nourish and sustain
other parts Of the body is wasted in
an effort to see, causing sick head
ache, neuralgia, stomach complaints,
etc.
Result Of Eye Strain
The brain is the seat of nervous
energy. We generate nerve force from
the food we eat The energy is stored
in the brain. The brain supplies to
all parts of the body the energy neces-
sary to perform the duties that nature
demands. Normal eyes use ten per
cent of the nervous energy generated
by the body. Defective eyes use from
fifteen per cent to sixty-five per cent,
thus wasting from five to fifty-five per
cent of the entire nerve force general
ed. As result of this waste of energy
in the constant effort to overcome the
defect, some other organs or part Of
the body must suffer. ..s.
The eyes use the ten per cent Of
nerve force allotted to them; then, in
an effort to overcome their defect, they
draw from the reserve supply of ner.
vous energy stored in the brain, using
and exhausting the nerve supply
Therefore, there is no sufficient
energy left to the brain to supply all
of the organs Of the body and sustain
the nervous system, resulting in ner.
vousness, nervous hysteria, and in ex-
IRENE cases, epilepsy and insanity.
Will the use of glasses cure nervous
disorders? No. But properly-fitted
glasses correct the defect in the eyes,
allowing the muscles to relax and re-
adjust themselves to a normal state,
thereby relieving the strain, stopping
the waste of nervous force, creating
reserve supply of energy, thus enabling
the brain to send the necessary nerve
force throughout the body to sustain
the nervous system The waste of
energy is stopped. Therefore the ner-
vous system will be properly sustained.
What Eye Strain Causes .#@
The eyes being defective, the mus
cles of the eye are strained in an
effort to create the curvature neces-
sary to collect the rays Of light and
bring them to point on the retina.
AS a result of this constant strain
there is an irritation. This irritation
produces an Inflammation which

Berg MYSTERY
IS Still FAR
FROM SOLUTION
German Cleared of Suspicion;
Testimony Indicates Woman
Performed Operation

No nearer are the city and county
authorities to the discovery Of the per
son or persons who are criminally re
sponsible for the circumstances which
resulted in the death of Miss Florence
Berg, former hospital nurse, following
the lengthy hearing yesterday after,
noon which brought forth another re-
cital of the grim details of the death
of Miss Berg and the tragedy of her
last days
This afternoon in the continuation
of the hearing of yesterday others
closely connected with the case will
appear. Those to be called will prot
ably be Capt. John B. Ludy. Mrs. Will
liam Moe (nee Collinsl, Miss Zoe
Osborne, and Miss Frances G. Travers.
The Coroner's jury which continues
to hear the case consists of Edward
B. Mullany, w, w. Gahan, o. B. Lar
sen, J. Mendoza, j. X. FrendenberG
and Hugo Kanae Julius W. Asch,
deputy sheriff, is conducting the in
quest and is assisted by A. NJ. Cristy,
deputy county attorney.
Attorney e. A. Mott-Smith appeared
at the inquest yesterday afternoon and
took extensive notes on the testimony.
He represents the Berg family.
Denies Knowing Nurse
That Lieut.. Portwich, former officer
Of the erstwhile German gunboat
Geier, had no connection with the cir
cumstances attending the death OF
Miss Berg, is the conclusion to be de.
duced from the testimony presented
yesterday. Bruno Pilorz, a local Ger,
man chemist, not only presented the
letters which were written him by
the German officer and which sup
posedly contained evidence Of an I'M
favorable association with a Queens
hospital nurse, but Lieut.. Portwich
himself denied ever having known the
nurse.
Dressed in a neat, white suit and &C,
companied by an army sergeant carry.
ing a revolver at his hip, the German
prisoner appeared as the last witness
of the afternoon. Lieut.. Portwich
stated that he had never met Miss
Florence Berg. However, he admitted
he had been to the Queens hospital
to attend some kind of celebration
around New Years, he said. He said
that he knew Werner Roehl, superin
tendent Of the hospital.
He said that he had met several
nurses at the hospital, but refused to
tell who they were. ....
When asked If he called at the hos.
pital to see the girls or Superinten.
dent Rohl, he said, IT don't know"
Miss Frances G. Travers was one
nurse that the officer admitted he had
met, but, he said. he had never called
on her. He said that he never wrote
a letter to Miss Berg, but that he had
written to a nurse at the hospital.

.SOLONS ASKED
TO VISIT HERE

Delegate Kuhio has cabled to As
members of the congressional com
mittee on military, naval and terri.
torial affairs asking them to visit Ha.
wall this fall as soon as Congress
adjourns. His intention to do this
was announced on the day he arrived
back in the islands from Washington.
Funds to defray the expense of the
junket have been provided for in an
appropriation passed by the last legis-
lature.
If the congressman make the trip to
the islands, they will be able to ascer.
tain exactly the needs of the islands,
as has been the case with other visit
ing members of congress. .....:..~
The committees from the territorial
legislature, one from the senate and
the other from the house will be ap.
pointed to make the plans for the en-
tertainment of the visitors, according
to Senator Charles Cnillingworth.

dents. =-@ ...~ 49,.
There is no truth in it at ALL" de
clared the German officer when asked
about his suspected relations with
Miss Berg. He did admit that he
knew a Miss Peggy Gay who is not
here now. and refused to say Why he
was glad that she had left.
The testimony Of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Henry and their daughter
Laura brought out nothing new of
significance. Mr.. Henry was given a
severe grilling by the police, the rea.
son being that it is said all OF his
stories do not exactly gibe.
Asked about Miss Berg's callers, the
Henry's repeated that Captain Ludy
had been a frequent caller, and also
named ". R. McAllep and Charles
GanZet
That there was some woman con
nected with the criminal operation
performed on Miss Berg was the con,
clusion to be deduced from the testi-
mony Of the Henrys, Who she was Is
a mystery.

HOW AND WHY DEFECTIVE
EYES CAUSE POOR HEALTH
By DR.. JOHN J. MUND0RFF.
Specialist at American Optical Company Gives His Story for
Publication After Having Had 80 Years Experience as an
Optician With Medical Education

Optical Science is an exact science
based on natural laws and governed o!
fixed principles. 1t is a system OIL
mathematics that requires years Of
study TO understand and much prac'
teal experience TO master.
Test Of the Eyes
To make a thoroughly scientific test
OF the eyes, one must be we'll Eersed IN
every branch OF optical science, must
understand the laws OF refraction, the
anatomical structure and physiological
f.nctions Of the eyes. their defects,
their relation TO human ills, the analy'
As OF the cause of imperfections, and
the remedy for its relief; must pos
sess much skill and practical expert
ence with common sense to guide MIN
m the application Of this knowledge
Opinions and Prejudice
Many persons are prejudiced and
deny the need Of using glasses. The
common remark, DO not wear glasses
until you are compelled to do so; II
you begin TO wear them you will al
ways be confined to their use" Is en-
tireiy erroneous.
II YOU are performing labor beyond
your power of endurance and you see
some artificial means to relieve you OF
part OF the burden, would you be in
jured or benefited? II your eyes are
defective and you wear spectacles to
correct the defect and relieve the
strain, would you be more dependent
on glasses because you relieve your
eyes from the strain and burden or
overcoming the defect? .-..=.... -.
For example: A steam engine re-
Quires a certain steam pressure TO sup
ply the power necessary to keep the
engine running properly. Suppose there
was a leak in the boiler, causing a
waste Of one-fourth of the steam; what
would be the practical remedy? Would
you fire up in an effort to generate
more steam, or would you stop the
leak?
II your eyes are defective and you
are wasting one-fourth Of the total
nerve force OF the body in an effort to
overcome the defect, and you are suf-
fering with some bodily ailment as
result Of this constant waste of energy,
what is the proper thing to do? VIII
you take medicine to stimulate the
body? VIII you eat more food IN an
effort to generate m-re enegry? Or
viii you remove the cause by wearing
glasses to correst the defect and stop
the waste?
The Eye and he Duties
The eye II an optical instrument.
The action OF the eye is mechanical.
The eye collects the rave Of light and
brings them to a point, forming an
Image on the retina. The optic nerve
IL excited by this image and carries
the impression to the brain. In this
way one IL said to see.
A normal eye, looking at q distance
of twenty or more feet, is In state OF
repose, because the normal eye has
sufficient curvature to collect the rays
Of light and bring them to point so
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-09-07

spreads to the surrounding parts,
causing neuralgia pains and sick head
aches. VIII the use Of glasses cure
neuralgia and sick headaches? No
But properly fitted glasses will cor
rect the defect in the eyes; the strain
will be relieved; the cause will be
removed; the irritation will subside;
the inflammation disappears, and ma
ture will do the healing
SUMMARY
Defective Eyes Cause Eye Strain
Eye strain causes headaches, neu,
ralgia. indigestion, ne vousness, ner'
vous hysteria, epilepsy, and in extreme
cases insanity.
How? Why?
Because the eye IN its constant eff.
fort to collect and focus the rays OF
light, wastes the nerve force, that
should go to sustain the other parts OF
the body. Properly-fitted glasses will
remove the cause by supplying the
focal power necessary to permit the
muscles of the eyes to relax and re-
adjust to their normal condition,
thereby stopping the waste of energy,
allowinS the normal supply of nerve
force to accumulate in the chief nerve
center (the BRAIN, thus enabling the
brain to send the necessary energy
to the different organs of the body TO
perform their functions. The cause
being removed, the waste of energy
stopped, nature does the healing The
constant use Of properly-fitted glasses
does the work.
