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
Tor 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 Go 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

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. 1t may not be known to you, but DR..
y. 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
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,

MORE HELP FOR
FARMERS ASKED
OF MERCHANTS
Better Crops Will Be Raised
Only When Market Assured,
Asserts Maui Grower

Mild criticism OF the action OF the
territorial marketing division in as
sisting the small farmers in the terri
tory was voiced at a meeting tnTs
morning by the territorial food com
mission with Honolulu merchants,
other island produce growers and
commission agents.
The territorial market is not serV-
ing the small man enough. declared
Harold Rice of Maui. The small
farmer ties his money up in his
-rops and when the time comes for
MIN to sell his produce. he is in the
hole if he, has TO wait two or three
months for return after the goods
are delivered"
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of discussing ways and means
whereby the local retail merchants
may assist the small farmer by pur-
chasing more home grown produce.
which would. to some extent. lowe
imports.
In order to get the best results, "
Mr.. Rice continued. the growers and
the merchants must pull together. You
have got to come forward and help us
out
Il do not believe we can afford to
stand the ) per cent commission paid
to the marketing division. | believe
that the farmers should have a man
in Honolulu TO handle their trade. We
want a man who would get out and
hustle. 1t seems to me that the mar
keting division is bucking all the mer-
chants in Honolulu and the other fel'
lows trade.
whats the use of raising better
produce if We can't sell it? | have
couple of hundred tons Of corn that
| will probably have to sell on the
coast because can't sell it In Homo
lulu"
Just what grades of corn may be
grown here, and what grades are in
demand, was the subject Of discus
sion the first hour of the maeting.
In my opinion" said Fred L. Wal
dron, corn is the most important
product raised in these islands for
emergency. 1t is from 100 to 200 per
cent better than it was three years
ago. 1t has been demonstrated that
it can be raised successfully here. 1t
is one product that can be stored so
that, in case of a blockade, it would
be more useful and valuable than any
other product 1t takes the place of
wheat, which cannot be raised here,
The principal thing is to increase
| the acreage. This could be done,
presume. through the land commits
sion, which could survey tracts OF
land and then induce people to raise
corn on it,
