cate eye machinery to undue hardships
When you find yourself looking hard
and thon you are In the act Of staring
close your eyes for minute or two and
put your hand over them. A little respite
In the dark will DO them good.
Points to Remember.
DO not open your eyes to the Light too
suddenly. because you thus make the
pupils-tho little black round spots In
the centre-contract too rapidly and
cause tho contracting muscles to work
too hard. Open them gradually.
When you read. have your reading
matter at about the distance of one foot
from your Dyes. Do not try to boast
that you can read from a great dis
lance, for almost every person has
normal visual powers to do that. Once
n tiny screw Is out of place, the whole
machinery gradually becomes detected,
and breakdown Is apt to come any
time at all. One foot from the eyes
brings the reading matter sufficiently
close not to involve undue strain on the
muscles.

Thrift Stamp quotas we're exceeded
the amount OF oversubscription would

and that II the Thrift Stamp quotas
were not reached the deficiency would

REGENERATION

Before I went to war I lived my
life
In luxury and softness, seeing
naught
OF the despair and sad. unceasing
strife
OF thousands with whose lives my
ease was bought.
Before I went to war l took no
thought
But needless, careless, dallied on
with sin;
Saw not the price at which a soul
is bought,
Nor knew the souls men buy as
mine own kin.
I went to war-tore out my dying
roots
From the stagnant soil and flesh
was bedded in.
I'd thought to find my comrades
uncouth brutes--
Instead, found men. and learned
that sin is sin!
And Liberty!-I learned to know
thy call
Is Gods own call to help the
world In pain.
SO, God, l pray thee not to pardon
all,
But do not let me close my eyes
again!
