WEAR GLASSES

diseases of the eye, and the eyes
thoroughly examined. Usually, the
proper corrective lenses will relieve
the symptoms.
During the school age, special
care should be taken so that the
child does not contract contagious
diseases Of the eyes such as ira
choma. It must be taught not to
touch the eyes, unless the hands
have first been washed. it must be
taught not to use common towel
or wash basin and not TO go into
swimming pools where the water is
not Systematically disinfected. II anv
eases Of sore eyes are discovered in
a school. they should be sent to =
physician for diagnosis and if found
to be contagious, the children should
he prohibited from going to school
until they are cured.
If any Of the children in the neigh
borhood have sore eyes, and one is
led to suppose that the child has
come in contact with these cases, the
eyes should be washed with a satu-
rated solution Of boric acid as soon
after the exposure as possible.
Adults who use their eyes great
deal. such as clerical workers and
teachers, should have their eyes ex-
;.mined at least once every two
years. Examinations Of the eyes
should always be made by physicians
who have made a study Of the eye as
their speciality. An examination
made by such a physician is apt to
be thorough and dependable. Very
often an examination of the eyes, if
made by competent specialist, re-
vcals conditions related to the gen
eral health which are often unSus-
pectcd; for instance, high blood pres
sure and Bright's disease.
Proper lighting is very important
in the hygiene Of the eyes. In re-
cent study made by the United
States Public Health Service on two
large groups Of workers who did
exactly the same kind of work. but
was found that those who worked
had poorer vision than those who
worked under the better lighting CON
ditions.
When working under artificial IL
lunlination, the source Of ligh.
should he out of the line Of vision.
It should be Of low brilliancy and not
too near the eye.
One often hears n statement that
4 father, mother or some relative
lived 10 Z very old age and never had
to wear glasses. The statement may
be true. but that does not mean
that the person referred TO had eN-
ceptionally good eyes. In most eases
this means that such people had one
normal eye and one nearsighted eye
and the normal eve was used for
reading in youth, whereas the near
sighted eye was used for reading in
advanced age.

1t Happened on
THANKSGIVING DAY

So there is no use in trying to keep
from dreaming on Thanksgiving.
Now, about the things you should
do; they, Of course, are just opposite
TO the things you shouldn't do.
As you walk about or loaf around
during the day stop now and then
as we'll as here and there and think
Of something for which you are
thankful.
Right away you can be thankful
it is Thank ksgiving Day instead of
Christmas. If it were Christmas,
that would make two Of them this
year. and all the bills for last years
Christmas not paid yet.
Be thankful it isn't the Fourth of
July. If it were, you might be go.
ing on a picnic. So be thankful it
isn't the Fourth.
The things for which to be thank
full might be placed in two groups,
one for each class Of people, men
and women.
Men can be thankful they don't
have to marry someone with whis-
kers, like women do. a mans wife's
face may be dirty, awfully dirty,
and still it won't scratch.
Perhaps there are five good, firm,
| real solid reasons why men should
be thankful this Thanksgiving. Per-
haps there are 10. Who knows?
Maybe there are the same number
for women. Let's see:
A man should be thankful be-
cause:
/. He can walk along the street
and if he hears somebody cussing
about something he can figure maybe
something needs cussing about. He
doesn't have to get insulted at what
somebody else thinks about some
thing else.
2. He can have a shiny nose and
yet be happy.
3. He doesn't have to run to the
front window to see if the man ring
ing the bell across the street is bill
collector or 4 sheriff. He knows from
personal experience the chances are
it is both.
i. He can blame his wife because
the dern kids kick up more racket
than a tribe of Indians, and why
doesn't she quit crying and do some
! thing about it,.
;. A man can sit down in a chair
and prop his feet up on anything as
high up as they will prop and will
soon know he is alive through orders
from the Kitchen.
q. lie can spend the insurance
money and let his wife tell the COL
lector to come back next week.
:. He never has to decide if his
hair should be bobbed or long.
s. He can grow old without con-
sidering it a very serious crime.
3. He can smoke pipe if it will
stay lit.
There are nine reasons why men
should be thankful Thanksgiving.
Women should be thankful just
because:
I. Just because.
There are nine million reasons
why women should be thankful
Thanksgiving Day.

taught not to rub It's eyes with its
hands because infections are very
often rubbed into the eye in this
manner. A child should have its
own individual towel. Any abnOr-
mality Of a child's eyes. such as
crossed eyes, should be corrected BY
an oculist before school age.
When the child begins to go to
school, it should have its vision
tested and if found defective, the
eyes should be examined and. if re-
quired, fitted with glasses. This is
very important because if the child
cannot see the blackboard, it cannot
be expected to learn well.
Besides, defective vision often af-
fccts the general health of child.
For instance. a child who is near
sighted leans forward over his desk
TO read and write and thus he de-
velops faulty STOPPING posture
which tends to cramp his chest and
prevents the proper expansion Of the
lungs. This NAV predispOse TO tu

vision often turn their heads slightly
to one side in order to soc clearly.
and thus are apt to develop a nos

In many cases. children are able
to sec the required amount on the
test chart and yet they may have
some error Of refraction or there
may be some lack Of balance of the
ocular muscles. 1t is possible for
them to do this because in youth
