WaRisLY EYES

Alcohol and tobacco may cause
eyes TO act much like drunken
man. They especially affect the mus
cles that hold the eyes In balance
and turn the balls In their sockets
/ Tor, rather, II shows up first on
there muscles). They may later af-
feet the retina until spots are found
that are dead to the colors OF red
and green, and later vision is per-
manently dimmed.
Eyes are also found wabbly and
seemingly drunk and won't stay any
place, when poison is entering the
circulation from infections and dis
eases that cause toxic condition.
We find many eyes that tests show
one eye standing higher than the
other one minute, and lower the
next spreading apart one minute,
and crossing the next. Also internal
eye muscles are abnormal in their
conduct.
Such eyes cannot be fully correct
ed with glasses until the cause is
remedied. Nearly one-half of these
patients with drunken eyes, we find
with a mouthful of dead teeth, tha.
they refuse to have exchanged for
healthy ones. The other half we try
to send to their family doctor for
treatment. Seventy-five percent nev-
er go for this necessary treatment
but just swear at their "spex" for
not giving full service.
Many times it would be about as
well and much cheaper for us to de-
lay the giving glasses until this con-
dition was carrected. But the ethics
of some doctors do not permit of
this, SO we long ago adopted the
plan of giving best possible glasses
and free checking and regrinding
after the toxic condition is remedied
If it ever is.

Narrow Escape
Delbert, son of John Hall, had a
most miraculous escape recently
when the horse he was riding took a
sudden fright, reared and fell back
ward over a high precipitous bank
lined with trees and bushes with a
rock bed stream of water below. In
the plunge the boy caught anG clung
to a bush but the horse landed at
the bottom in the water. The boy
escaped without scratch but the
horse was badly hurt and will lose
it's only good eye. The reader would
only have to take glance at the
place to be convinced that it was a
most remarkable escape.

Going contrary to a proverb, Gre

Joseph Mccall, a man once we'll
known around here, built a stone
wall along the highway on his prem
ises and people laughed at him as it
was supposed that the stone was of
such inferior quality that it wouldn't t
last but short time. The wall has
stood the ravages of time for so
years and is now being torn down
and the stone used on the road.

We notice some of the newspa-

voting some space to the asking and
answering of Bible questions. This
is certainly very helpful and COM
mendable as there is much ignorance
concerning this old book. A strange
thing is that those who talk the
most against it, usually know the
least about it.

Lisbon, Portugal, Feb. 4 R1The revolutionaries of the garrison at Oporto who began a movement against the government of President Carmona yesterday. have surrender ed to the government troops.
 The president who has been in of- flee as chief executive only little more than two months and who also holds the office of war minister, was at Aveiro, not far from Oporto, con- solidating loyal troops so as to be ready should the movement spread.
 So far as can be learned from desptaches reaching the capital from various parts of the country, order has not been disturbed. The Lisbon authorities insist that the revolt has been confined to part of the Oporto garrison, and while they do not look for serious consequences, declare that martial law will be strictly enforced
 General Sinel De Cordes, acting as war minister in the absence Of General Carmona, intimated that some disaffection was looked for, as only recently a message was receiv- ed from a committee of "the rebel lious minority troops" demanding resignation of the government and restoration of the constitutional regime. The governments answer to this was to send troops to repress the revolt The general was certain the movement would be checked immediately since he had received declarations of loyalty from garri- sons throughout the country.
