GOOD SIGHT DOES NOT
MEAN GOOD EYES

Your sight may be good yet your
eyes may be in the most urgent need
Of help.
Ever see the big, robust man, pause
in his swinging strides along the
street, clap hand to his heart and
drop dead? We have.
He looked to be the healthiest man
on the street, yet tiny heart rivulet
c1ogged and the machinery stopped,
all because of a little over exertion.
II the little piece OF glass optomet-
rists place before your eye keeps the
strain away, it may in q similar way
postpone the advance of the more SER
ious breakdown" that comes to the
human machine when overloaded or
OverWOrked.
Because YOU see we'll is no valid
reason for you to think you have good
eyes.
Often those who see best are In
greatest need Of optometry.
The heart trouble that caused the
big healthy man to drop dead may
have come because defective eyes
were taking more nerve force than ma
ture intended, thereby weakening the
stomach and possibly the heart action.
Your eyes may be normal, Or nearly
so, probably are, but the wise course
is to know, not guess, and you can
only know the truth by an occasional
visit to reliable optometrlst.

EYES BEAR LIFE'S BURDEN
All School Children With Defective
Eyes Should Have Properly
Fitted Glasses.

"While it is granted that the pub.
tic school should be conducted for
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der, yet we should give some detail
ed attention to the needs of the ex-
ceptional child, in order that he, too,
may realize something out Of his
investment Of time and energy. The
strain Of civilization rests most heav-
lily upon the eyes, and we find that the
percentage of children with subnor-
NAL vision increases in the upper
cation of the student tends to in
crease visual defects.
eff every child in our public schools
who has defective vision were prop
erly cared for. it would mean the
elimination or an immense amount OF
waste and an immense contribution to
the total efficiency Of mankind 1t
has been estimated that il the child
rem in the public schools Of New Or
leans, found to have defective vision,
were suitably equipped with glasses,
it would mean a saving to the school
system Of more than $4,000 annually.
and this proportion holds in almost
every other city under like conditions.
"The only sane, effective method to
pursue is to arrange for the careful
examination of the vision Of the
school childl en- by men skilled in the
practice of optometry-men who
make these examinations without the
use of drops" or drugs, and without
interruption to the school work.
"Teachers everywhere testify to the
wonderful benefits which follow regu
1 lar vision tests in the schools. These
/ tests will benefit all concerned: the
/ child by affOrding him better chance
in life, the teacher by making hel
work more effective; the taxpayer, by
lesseni.g the expense of education, anc
society as whole, by adding to il
an Amy Of young graduates who are
well equipped to battle with the prob
lens Of life.
s'The fine part Of our constitution
the eye, seems as much the recepta
Gle and seat Of our passions, appe
tites and inclinations as the mind 1t
self; and, at least, it is the outward
portal to introduce them to the house
within. or rather, the common thor
oughfare to let our affections pass II
and out. Love, anger, prize and aV
arice, all visibly move in these httl
orbs. A beautiful assent-an s-rage'

CARE FOR THE CHiiD'S EYES
Eye Is Main Avenue of Education and
Parents "houId See ChiId's Eyes
Are Not Defective.

The school child does not always
realize the necessity of an education;
the parents likewise often fails to
realize the necessary appliances for
acquiring it.
The eye is our main avenue of edu-
cation. Defective vision causes more
school failures than any other one
thing.
One who might otherwise become a
power in the world is often broken
down mentally, physically and moral
ly through waste OF nerve energy, be-
cause Of defective eyes.
Your child may see perfectly
but the one who shows normal Wis
ion and does it with DEFECTIVE
EYES, needs glass aid more than the
one who doesn't see SO well.
Optometrists make q specially of fit
ting the eyes Of children and young
people, guarantee an accurate and
proper adjustment Of glasses, and
take care Of the eyes until they reach
maturity.

BEN KAUFF GETTING LITTLE
PUBLICITY THESE DAYS
BY Hamilton
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 12-Blushing
Benny Kauff, the youth they were all
watching and wondering about a year
ago, is spending q very quiet cold spell
compared with the turbulent session
he passed through in 1915. There ism t
flicker Of interest in whether the
Giant outfielder will clout for 300
average Or rs next summer
Ben is spending the winter in Ohio
and Indiana, chasing around in a big
green automobile and having a godd
time, but he is fighting shy of the in
tervlew columns.
This probably means lot to Kauff
He isn't going to have a top-heavy
, mark to aim at when he starts going
at the next bell ringing. He's going
to be ujst plain Benny Kauff, with a
/ job to hold, and with some real ability
packed away in his little body. He
isn't going up there fooling that every
fan expects to see him knock the ball
out of the park at every effort. It s
not a loss of confidence; it s the dcs-
cent Of an overplayed star, one who
was eager to make good, and overstep-
ped himself in trying to live up to
something he couldn It touch.
John McGraw and many other level
headed engineers in baseball believe
Benny will be the real goods when the
time comes for compilation Of National
league averages about year hence
McGraw, especially, believes Kauff is rs
good hitter as there is in the National
league.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Equipped
for scientific study of the polar re-
glons 100000 square miles of which
have never been sailed or trod bv man.
the Bartlett polar expedition, the first
purely scientific expedition to enter the
TAR north, will sail from the United
States during the summer of 1918.
Scientific research, rather than dis
covery, will be our first object.
I will take but ten men in the polar
belt with me-ineluding ships crew,
mechanicans, and scientists. Each will
be a man Of tried calibre, for once set
out, there will be no return ticket to
the civilized world, at least under to
3 years. Each man must be capable of
supreme endurance aud versatility
Two or three scout-type monoplanes,
an innovation in polar expeditions, will
be included in our equipment to supple
ment the customary dogs and sledges
These will be used for observ alton
purposes from the base of operations,
always the ship, and might prove in
valuable in returning to civilization
should the expedition meet with dis

EYES OF ALL NATIONS
America And Germany Are

France has one blind person in every

China, Egypt and Spain.
England furnishes the greater part
of all glass used for spectacles and

EYES|GHT CONSERVATION
People Are Beginning To Real

OF Vision.
Faculty of Eyesight Takes First Place
Among the Many Things That Make

Working toConserve Eyesight Of
Citizens of This State

Among the many things that make
life worth living we must place the
faculty of vision at the very top of
the list; and because people have
come to realize the value of vision
there has come into existence a great
many Of professional men known as
optometrists. Their exclusive bust
ness is the conservation of human
vision, through the adjustment of
proper glasses when needed. Their
examinations are made without the
use of drugs, or Drops
| have said that optometrists are
cOnservers Of vision. This is a very
important phase Of their work, be-
cause eyes that are properly cared
for in youth, the defect, if any, being
carefully corrected will give good
service in old age. Optometrists
daily have calls from those unfortu-
mates who have too long neglected
! their eyes, only to find that it is i'm
possible to bring the vision back to
normal, because of such neglect.
If one would have good vision in
old age, he must guard it we'll in
youth. Optometrists not only con
serve vision, but they add immensely
to the sum total Of human efficiency
and this is true not only during
school life but also Of the adults
since the function Of vision enters sc
Importantly into most Of our socia.
processes.
The eyes use great deal of nerve
energy in their function of seeing
even when the vision is normal, anC
when the eyes are defective a grea
deal more nervous force is required
because the eyes strive to see as wei
as possible. This often results il
