QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Glasses Do Not Weaken Eyes.

Glasses Do Not Weaken Eyes.
Please state in your column whether
glasses weaken the eyes. My left eye is
1920. while my right eye is $40. Do
1 need glasses? q. r. L.
ANSWER-You need ony a monocle,
or glasses with the correction over
the defective eye and plain lens or
none over the sound eye. Wearing
glasses, when there is a defect of
vision. never weakens the eyesight,
vided the glasses are accurately fitted
and properly supported before the
eyes. Many are not.
Shiny Nose.
Please print something for my
shiny, greasy nose. Miss F. D. W.
ANSWER-Zinc sulphate, 1 dram
potassium sulphurated. 1 dram: rose
water. ounces. Shake we'll and
daub on nose and allow to dry on over
night.
Hot Water and Salt Water.
Please give your opinion of the
practice of drinking hot water before
breakfast. and using salt water to
ba the the eyes when they feel sore
or fnflamed. o. L. TJ
ANSWER-Many persons find that
cupful or two of hot water taken
half an hour before breakfast has a
laxative effect and aids digestion. 1t
can do no harm, in any case, provided
it be taken not less than fifteen min
utes before eating. Hot water at
meal time tends to decrease the Sc
cretion of the gastric juice and slow
down or delay digestion; cold water
at meal time stimulates secretion and
tends to improve digestion. Plain
water irritates the eyes; but the ad-
dition of rounded teaspoonful to
the pint of boiled water, cooled to
body warmth renders the water about
the saline strength of the tears ,and
that makes it non-irritating for
bathing the eyes. Stronger salt water
ical" or normal" salt solution is all
right for such purpose, though it is
not advisabl to bathe the eyes as a
constant practice.

1.-THE marked American habit of magnifcation and the
expression Of our condition in superlative terms is not a

the habit Of minimizing our ilsf
There is never anything to be gained by CLOSING the
facts, but 10 overstate or understate is TO fix an idea in the
mind of the public which ii is difficult to modify. We are a
people of ready sympathies and when we change our mind
we change it radically.
I'VE all know that a broken leg may not be cured by
suggestion, but we are equally aware that a cheerful cOndi-
ti0n of the patient is in every ease Of illness a factor in re-
covery. That we have been very i'll and in a low state com
mercially must be admitted, but our, soundest bankers and
most conservative business men are confident that the crisis
passed some time since. The patient is perking up. Why
disturb him by magnifcation of his disorder. nOn-employ-
ment for ins.ancei There may be occasional relapse, but the
prognosis is for cure, and better health thereafter.
I'VE have a good constitution, so let us cheer up and an
iicipate rapid eOnvalescence in order that we may be in a DO
siton TO help those who are worse off than ourselves and who
are relying upon our strength and skill"
There is not much that need be added to the above in the way Of
suggestion for overcoming the worst ills Of our present business, in

By DIR. WILLIAM 4. BARTON

There are three kinds Of people In
the world. Most people say there are
two, but there are three.
The first r. the kind who mean to
do right.
The second Is the kind who mean
TO do wrong.
Tho other Il the kind who have no
particular purpose Or either kind.
You can love the man who h. de-
tcrmined to do right. You can adj
mire the ability aud decision of the
man who deliberately does wrong.
But you can have only contempt for
the man who has no character Of
either sort.
There Is a verse In the Bible about
the man who Is neither cold nor hot;
Il would ye were either cold or hot.
