Why Do So Many People Wear
Glasses, Especially Young People

The principal reason is that the eye
is now more perfectly understood and
people are becoming more enlightened
regarding the most delicate and COM
pick organ. The equilibrium of the
whole nervous system is disturbed
when the eyes are strained, and it is
positively known that the mental ca
pacity is greatly increased when such
strain is relieved by properly fitted
glasses. Frequently nervous and sick
headaches, which are attributed to
other causes, are due to eye-strain.
Eyes sometimes seem perfect when
they are not, as the accommodation
may continue vigorous enough for a
time to overcome the defect by severe
exertion and thus conceal the necessi-
ty of glasses. Many school children
who are thought dull and stupid, suf-
fer from defective vision, and become
the brightest scholars when the defect
is corrected.
Eyes should be frequently re-ex-
amined as age advances, especially is
this true regarding school children.
Good vision does not always signify
perfect eyes, as the hypermetropic eye
often sees perfectly, but at the ex-
pense of ciliary muscles, and this
unnatural strain may cause depression
headaches, and even nervous prostra-
ton. Glasses should be worn, con-
stantly in cases of hypermetropia and
myopia, though many who should
wear them refrain from doing so,

CLOGGED BLOOD
WITHERS THE BODY
Workers Sick and Weak From EXer-
ton Take Guides Pepto-Mangan

Men and women who toll either
physically or mentally use up energy.
When they overwork they use up
more energy and sometimes the blood
gets in a rundown condition. Without
rest the blood cannot get back to nor-
nal, so that it becomes clogged with
waste matter from over-cxertion.
The clogged blood virtually withcrs
the body. The stained looks on pale
faces, the thin, ~bloodless arms, the
sunken cheeks and nccks, the dead
tired feeling, are the results of stale
blood depriving the system Of life
giving oxygen.
Workers go to the drug store and
get Guides Pepto-Mangan when they
feel weak and run down. They take it
in either the liquid or the tablet form.
That makes the blood rich and red
and drives out the poisons. Life-giv-
ing oxygen carried by the little red
cells, renews the strength and builds
up the entire system. Look for the
name Guides Pepto- Mangan" on the

Erin's Peace Efforts May
Be Disrupted

London, Dec. 12.-The future of
Ireland is being decided in a silent
campaign--a series of conferences,
secret meetings, and quiet, cautions
electioneering among the members
of the Dali Eireann.
Adding to the atmosphere OF mys-
tery that hangs I'VE Dublin, two
Smissaries from Ulster said to be
personal representative of Sir
Jams Craig, the northern premier,
a4e in the southern Irish capital,
said to be comforting with the Sim
Fein leaders who signed the treaty
of a in London. 1t is believed
that the message they bring may
be one of peace.
The issue of whether it will be
President de Valera or Arthur Grit
fifth. the extremist or the conserva-
tive, who will be the future stan
dard bearer of Ireland will be de-
cided when the Dali meets on Wed>
nesday. In public the heads Of the
opposing factions are urging the
people to "let the Dali decide" In
private, in Their homes, in hotels
and on street corners, arguments
for and against the treaty are being
pursued with all the fervor of mod
ern politics-politics in which the
Irish by instinct and past masters.
The --latest development has been
the rise Of still a third party in the
conflict labor rarty which is des-

fled.
Followers of Michael Collins and
Griffith declare that the treaty pro-
yides a republic in everything but
name, and that it opens up unprece-
denied possibilities for prosperity
and peace.
The labor viewpoint was summar-
lied in an interview by one OF that
party in which he said:
eve are not waving any flags
over the treaty. We have not de-
cided yet just what we will do,
but we will make no move until
the meeting Wednesday. After that
we may form a definite working
body within the Dali or concen-
trate on local politics, refraining
from taking sides as a party in
national affairs"
II the De Valera faction should
win in the Dali Eireann ~undoubted-
ly a general election which would
be a plebiscite on the treaty issue
would be held. This action may
even occur if the treaty negotiators
win, providing their majority is not
clear cut.
Some laborites are disappointed in
the treaty and voice Their disap-
pointment openly. There is, for ex-
