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 plow 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
cles 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
50 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 practicing
physicians knowledge of the eye has not been suffi-
cient 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
know if it would help you physically if you did? In
either case you should not delay in finding out if
glasses, or a change of glasses, will help YOU.
When 1t 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 Dr..
A. 0. 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
uated from two of the best optometry schools more
than seventeen years ago, and has received the en-
dorsement of five of the leading medical doctors of
this county. What three of these medical men say
you will find on the bottom of this sheet. And in
additional to these endorsements he has the guar
antee of his brother optometrists of the state, among
| whom he has held many positions of honor and trust,

AMOS SLOWLY DYING OUT
Comparatively Few Remain Of His.
toric Race Of Abofigihes Of
Northern Japan.

Investigators car attention to tho
fact that the historic race 81 the
Amos, the aborigines of northern
Japan, Is slowly dying out. It is es-
tmated that these residents Of Hok-
kaido the most northerly Of the great
islands making UP the Japanese en-
Dire are now no more titan 10000.
The Amos, dark, picturesque MP
pearing people, live in groups of TWEEN
ty to forty houses IN scattered dis
tricts on the island. In spite Of cease
less efforts on the part of the central
government and each prefectural gov
eminent in theft behalf, which give
them allotted portions Of land, provide
them with habitations, give thefa IN
structions in farming and furnish
them with necessary education, they
nevertheless show no sign of benefiting
from the care taken of them.
Japanese writer's term them an indo-
lent, improvideut race and declare that
both men and women are addicted to
drinking and appear to regard any
thing done for their benefit as a nuis-
ance.
The male Amos pass their time in
hunting and fishing. The women are
described as more industrious. Bear
hunting is the great occupation Of the
men, but the bears, Ike the Amos
themselves, are becoming fewer. The
men have dark hair and long, thick
boards. Hair is sacred to them. Their
faces are usually tattooed.
The "bear festival as it is called,
consists of the offering of a slaugh-
tered young bear az = sacrifice to the
gods. The animal is nurtufed for
bout five years for this specific puF'
nose. On the occasion of the sacrifice
he men and women join in grand ban
quets and merrymaking. The Amos,
like many other primitive people, wor-
ship the shp.'
