What is timing?

Timing is an important bit of
golf and consists OF bringing the
crh-h head against the ban at the
exact second when the left heel re-
turns 10 its original position-the
position It occupied when the up
swing was started. If the club-head
meets the ball on the down swing
when the body is in any other posi-
ton the timing is faulty and any
one Of several golf disasters may oc-
cur The ball may be hooked, sliced,
or topped: it may he hit pretty de-
Gently. but it will lack the distance
which perfect timing gives.

FAILING VISION

is denoted by printed matter running
together and blurred letters-the eyes
become incapable Of encompassfng
what they seek to embrace. Reading
becomes difficult, headaches. and nau-
sea ensue and q sort of misery pos
sesses the whole body. All this most
often results simply because the eyes
are not able to focus to the normal
reading distance of fourteen inches.
Distant objects may be seen distinctly
but when the vision suddenly reverts
to some nearby subject the instantan-
eous focus Of the eye necessary to see
it distinctly refuses to operate. This
is the cause of the oftime hard-to-un-
derstand headache. Glasses are the
only cure for this condition; neglect
means deeper seated defects and worse
vision, then eye diseases. To try and
fit your own eyes from an assortment
of glasses for this trouble will often
result In one of the eyes losing its
sense OF vision; eyes are very seldom
alike and need expert attention for
proper preservation as age advances.
A momentary realization of your help
lessness without the use of your eyes
will aid you to greater appreciation
Of their worth. AS an essential, then,
to a happy existence. give your eyes
the attention their Importance de-
