YOUR EYES

We are asked by folks daily CON
cerning the cause of their particular
kind of eve troubles
The following simple explanation
will cover the cause Of tho majority
Of eve aches and diseases.
We ali understand that exercise
creates heat If we walk We set
warm. if we run VIC ".st werner. Nvo
cannot keep our bodies ove~ heat ed
for fifteen hours dav. year after
year. without them becoming dis
eased. SO with our eyes. If we
have error of refraction We are over
exercising our eyes all the time they
are open, thus overheating them
This over heat is the general cause
of eye diseases. In young people
with moderate error, it is usually
external ball and lid diseases. Later
the more serious internal diseases
are liable to develop.
We may walk and run while.
but then we sit down a while to rest
and cool off. If we have error of
refraction our eyes are walking or
running all the time our eyes are
open. They cannot sit down to rest
and cool. if we get warm and cool
off in a cool breeze we catch cold.
Overheated eyes are continually sub
jected to cooler wind and are con-
tinually catching cold. ,s.~
Normal eyes all muscles are at
rest when seeing distant objects and
work only while seeing near Thus
normal eyes only need to walk when
doing near work When we raise
our eyes and look off the muscles sit
down and rest and cool off But If
our eyes have to walk to see at a
distance. and run to do near wcrk
they get too warm, stay too warm,
get diseased and cause other organs
Of the body to get diseased by the
eyes using too much of the nerve
energy

schools have shown that over fifty

per cent of the eyes must run while

muscles become so cramped or numb
that they cannot relax and cool off
even at night.
Our schools claim 10 examine
children's eyes This is entirely
false. Just vision test that finus
less than ten per cent defective.
This leaves eighty per cent of those
having eye defects that are thus
made believe their eyes are correct,
and so they neglect them until they
get beyond correct treatment Thus
this system of helping ten and in
iuring forty seems to me to be doing
four times more harm than good.
Few people young or old who are
wearing glasses have their eyes cor
rected by them. Glasses help some.
but do not correct When eyes are
so that glasses cannot be given that
do not still require ten of sixteen
eye muscles to work whenever eyes
are open, they cannot be called cor
rected.
This vision testing in schools is
causing parents to think their chill

only do for them what crutches do
for a cripple-just help some. 1t
would take six months systematic
work, with patient shut clear away
from school work, to correct many
of the neglected young eyes.
The fellow who tells you he can
give you treatmentss or gymnastics
that will, make ypnf eye muscles
strong enough to overcome refrac-
tive and presbyopic errors, telling
you to throw away your glasses, can
only give you a seeming temporary
relief. Over develop the ciliary
muscles, and the ciliary body spreads
out, closing up the schlemm canal
or the sefety valve of the eye ball.

not so invite it, This foolishness

viii also break the harmony between
the three sets of muscles operated
by the third nerve. A very serious
thing also.
Glasses furnish ametropic eyes

down to rest and cool off,
After long years of abuse of the
body, the doctor can only prolong
your life while, not cure you. The
same is true of the eyes.
Are you eye conscious?

Says
By John p. Medbury.

A .WELL-KNowN psychologist
says that the average woman
would rather gossip than eat. If
this We're true we'd see more
skinny women in the world.
COME women are so talented
that they can eat and gossip
at the same time.
THEY can knock you during
the soup, roast you in the
entree. and pan you through the
dessert.
A DAME may have something
good to say about you, but
she can't get anybody to listen
to it.
THEY know that nothing good
about a person can be inter-
esting.
THEY want the truth and moth
ing but the truth until lit
ceases to be entertaining.
THEY don't like you to waste
= their time telling them facts;
they can get those out of the
newspapers. 4.

gone so far now in this regard that

may do that yet.
81 simply tell you this to show that
Europe has proved herself insincere
regarding the reparations question.
The reparations committee had every
opportunity, with an American observ-
er present, to win the confidence of
the United States, but the committee
refused to make the best of the oppor
tunity, and, instead of gaining conf
dence, played politics. The boosters
of the world club plan have urged and
urged that the United States take an
active part in settling the affairs Of
Europe. How can America help them
until they first show willingness, at
least, to be fair and help themselves!

rope. Until she does this no one can
help her.
