EYESIGHT OF CHILDREN

The eyes of school children are their greatest asset.
 In many cities and school districts, a school physician is now regularly employed to make a careful health examination of all the children. No more imr ortant act than the careful examination of the children's eyes could be I ossible. But often the cS- animation is merely cursory and fails 10 detect the bodily conditions which produce bad eyes. red and swollen lids, lack Of centered attention, restless ness, headache and squinted vision.
 If the physician finds any of these defects, he should have the child carefully examined at once by a competent oculist. If the oculist de- oides that glasses are needed by the child, have them furnished at once. Years of acute suffering and perhaps loss Of ones life's ambition may often be avoided by corrected bodily habits in connection with the use of proper glasses in time.
 It is well to think earnestly about the eyesight of your children. long
 
 school house. Early corrective meas ures may avoid the sorrowfnl after times
 Avoid having n bed so placed that n child on Awakening in the morning has the sunlight full in it's eyes.
 Insist on clean hands and carefully washed eyes. with u weak solution or boric acid at frequent intervals. Start early in life to teach the children tho importance Of being prompt and regu. lar in bowel movement Always rec that any small objective work. or using Inc eyes at close range fin poor light, must be avoided. Never al. low your child to use the same towel, or anything which playmate has had in his mouth.

F KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take salts to flush Kidneys and ncu-
 traiizc irritating Acids.

Kidney and bladder irritations often result from uric acid, says n noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder. where it may remain 10 irri- tate and inhame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting ID an irritation at the neck of the bladder ebliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread; the water passes sometimes with a scald- ing sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in voiding it.
 Bladder weakness most folks call fl, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ailments 10 overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast; continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation 10 the bladder and urinary organs, which then act normal again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive. harmless, and is made from the acid Of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and is used by thousands of folks who arc subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant. efferyss- cont Iithia water drink. which often quickly relieves bladder irritation.
