Your Luxuries.

Ohio spent 100000 900 more for luxuries than
was spent in that state for education between

tive data presented by P p. Claxton, United
States commissioner Of education. Startling
hguses-and. doubtless, Illinois win show a
similar disparity between expenditures for edu-
cation and luxury.

AstigmAtisN.
The transparent front window OF
the eye is called the cornea Few
of US have perfectly shaped cor
meas; almost invariably there is a
slight irrgeularity of the spherical
shape, 30 that light through differ
ent meridians is not focused on the
same point within the eye. This
is called asdgmatism-which means
literally without or lacking a point.
When just one meridian of the
corneal surface is imperfect the ac-
com panying error OF refraction is
called simple astigmatism; if more
than one meridian are faulty it is
compound astigmatism.
Astigmatism arises from various
causes aside from the congenital or
hereditary asymmetry of the cornea
in civilized man. Former injuries or
inflammation or disease of the cor
nea is often responsible.
