You subject your eyes to fierce
glares.
You fiji them with tobacco
smoke.
You expose them to dust, to
irritating fumes. to severe winds.
You rub them with your dirty.
germ-laden hands and with equal
" germ-laden public towels.
You make them work when
they are tired or lame or defec-
tive.
You abuse them by not proper
~ resting them with sleep or by
sometimes refraining from using
them when awake.
You squirt "eye waters into
them that you have bought on
your own hook, but OF the COM
position and effects of which you
are wholly ignorant.
A good many more counts
could be put into a true bill Of
indictment, but these are suffi-
cient.
And you wonder why your
eyes sometimes get red or &C
tually inflamed or why some
folks go blind!
One difficulty about healthy
eyes, that il to say eyes that
are not actually diseased, is that
they are liable to have defects as
organs of vision. The eyeball is
either too short or too long from
front to back, or the lens on the
inside Of 1t is not shaped with
mechanical precision, or possibly
some Of the little muscles that
make 1t turn are too short and
either pull it permanently in or
permanently out Of the line or
axis OF vision.
This is a. series of difficulties
that often can be corrected by
properly applied glasses which
ought always be looked upon as a
hygienic measure for the proper
care Of the healthy eye.
The outside and edges Of the
lids should be bathed rather more
than is done in the ordinoEy
washing of the face. A towel sat
urated with tepid or even com
fortably hot water may be held to
the lids for a minute Or mora,
followed for the same length Of
time by another wrung out OF
cool or ever cold water. This
alternating Of temperatures slim
ulates the local circulation and
tends to improve the nutrition of
the eyes.
Do not wash your open eve by
use of the cup devised for that

Don't be afraid to set a high
standard Of beauty for yourself.
This Is not q merely vain, frivol-
Gus ambition. for beauty in the
broad sense in which it is applied
nowadays to woman means
more than the passing accident
of a pretty face and the fleeing
grace of youth.
Nowadays beauty lasts as long
as life lasts, changing merely it's
moods. And whether 1t be the
beauty Of sixteen or sixty it must
include graciousness as well as
grace, charm az well as pretti-
ness, and a radiant, understand

and men far more than merely

Then there is the physical
phase Of beauty. And this is
founded on mental and physical
health. Without health, perfect
symmetry, perfect grace, perfect
coloring and vivacity are utterly
impossible.
So the woman who aims at
beauty does indeed aim high.
