didn't wear himself out talking insur-
ance; In fact, he got interested IN
side line-Christmas cards and en-
bossed stationery-and used to think
that he gave more time to his SIDE line
and showed more interest in it than
he did in his main business.
When a prospect began to yawn
little and to grow restless under the
Insurance line that Gilmore handed
out, he would introduce Christmas
cards or the latest styles in writing
paper and the uncertain insurance
prospect would fall for what he con
sidered the lesser evil and order few
cards. Gilmore finally gave so much
time to his trifling side line that MIS-
insurance business went onto the
rocks.
Baldwin was q lawyer, or at least
that is what the gilded sign over MS
doorway indicated-"J. G. Baldwin, at
torney at law" the legend said-but
Baldwin was more devoted to his SIDE
lines than to the mysteries and intrlca-
cies of legal practice. He was chair
man Of the social committee OF the
Country club, and that duty consumed
q considerable part of his time. he
was president Of the village Rotary
club and did a lot Of WORK on the
board Of trustees Of the Presbyterian
church, and held high offices in four
or five secret and fraternal organiza
tons Of the town and he was an ac-
tive Republican. His main side line,
II may so denominate 1t, was his ira
fernity. In college Baldwin had de-
veloped the idea that the two great
moral and political influences In the
world were his fraternity and the Re-
publican party. He allowed his wife
to devote herself to politics while he
looked after the fraternity. He was
the high and mighty potentate Of that
organization and made long trips over
the country and many inspiratlonal
talks, and did much eating at banquets
given In his honor and much writing
Of papers. There Is no doubt that
Baldwin did q good work In these side
lines, but in the meantime the law
business suffered, and the financial re-
turns from the side lines were quite
inadequate to meet the family needs
Mason, in college, is giving 80 much
time to the side lines Of society and
athletics and religion and politics that
he has little or no time for the rea'
thing for which he came to college. he
is so obsessed by the activities Of col
lege life that 1t is hard to persuade
him that these are not of more impor
lance even than his studies. If you
ask him, am sure he would admit
that he Is getting more out of the side
lines Of college than out of the rea
business. -@5--

EYE TROUBLES

1t is estimated that over seventy
five percent of serious eye diseases
are caused by defective circulation
of the blood in the eye itself. 1t has
long been taught that error of re-
fraction of the eyes Chat only
glasses can correct) is the chief
cause of poor circulation of the
blood in the eyes; thus the chief
cause of eye diseases.
Eyes with much error must ten
sion up several sets of muscles to
see. They soon become cramped by
the tension for muscle tensioned
collapses the veins or flattens them,
thus stops circulation according to
the tightness of the tension.
We acquire our regular refractive
errors very young, while the eyes are
firming. Those with much error
could and should be made normal
with glasses not later than six years
of age or before the eyes are dwarf
ed or invalided because of defective
circulation of the blood in the most
essential parts. Such eyes made
normal with glasses would stay nor
NAL with the same glasses the same
as normal eyes without glasses stay
normal until past forty years old.
Healthy circulation of the blood
in these eye muscles can only be re-
stored by fully relaxing the cramped
muscles so that they have full rest
when eyes are seeing distant objects.
There is no way of doing this except
by the intense Jogging method.
Glasses that do not fog vision at
first may fit an invalid brain, but
never an invalid pair of eyes that are
under SO years old.
You can see the veins fatten and
circulation almost stop by closing
your hand tightly. Hold penny
between thumb and finger all day
and circulation will be poor in both
thumb and finger. Stand on one
foot and when circulation of the
blood gets so poor in the muscles
that they numb and cramp, you
change over to the other foot while
circulation is being restored, but
you cannot do this with your eyes.
They must be relaxed at any cost
and fitted with glasses so that every
eye muscle is at rest while looking
at distant objects. Then to such
eyes near work half of each day is
only healthy exercise and not at all
tiresome fatigue.--G. F. STEBBINS,
Optometrist.
