 The double standard of morals Is another fault. A vaudeville actor in this city recently hit the nail on the head, when he said. "A man goes straight and he goes crooked and he goes straight, but woman goes straight or she goes crooked We welcome the man into cur homes but the woman never gets a chance. If we ostracize the woman. we should also ostracize the man,

hills shouldered, dark as sentinels,
against the star-strewn sky.
Those hills were color and song
in that sad land, and hope and
healing to our weary souls. We
lifted up our eyes when evening
came and were made clean and
free and whole again.
Life often seems to me like
that flat blistered place beneath
those blessed hills.
One must have hills-something

to which the mind can rise. Some
fine ambition, leaping high above
the sordid ruck Of our necessity.
Some glimpse of lovely fancy now

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

Won have often heard OF peo-
4 pie seeing red,' seeing
stars Seeing flashes These,
except the last. fortunately are
more or less figurative expires.
sions. But people really DO see
things-and not snakes" either.
Thus, there is such a thing as
''seing double" 1t is generally
to be looked upon as one Of
natures danger signals and should
have attention accordingly.
Seeing double" happens to
some people after a severe Illness,
or toward the end of the day when
they ara tired.
Very few patients seem to
worry about 1t and the majority
pass it over very lightly.
It indicates some defect of
coordination, some lack of har.
mon iouS action, between the
two eyes.
Let me explain it this way:
You are naturally just a little bit
cross-eyed. That is to say normal
pail of eyes converge on a given
object with very little effort. If
there is a fault in the muscles
which govern this conveyance,
the effort required to fix both
eyes on the same object becomes
greater. When the whole body
is tired this effort may become
too much. The eyes then see sep.
arately, instead of together.
The strain of trying to force
weak muscles to do their task often
induces headache.
It is, therefore, not too much to
say that double vision should al
ways be a warning to consult an
eye doctor. The error will not
cure itself-very few eye errors do,
and the longer it is left the worse
it may become.
There is such a thing as seeing
mists. Temporary mists may be
due, especially in long-sighted peo-
pie, to a temporary failure to focus
properly. Instead Of converging
on the retina, the rays Of light
tend to come together behind it,
and the eye sees mist, as in a
photograph taken with too great a
focal length.
This is merely a warning to get
proper glasses. Again, in chronic
conjunctivitis or inflammation of
the thin membrane covering the
eye, mist is apt to be formed
simply by the matter discharged
from the inflamed parts. Neither
of these conditions is very serious,
but there is one very grave illness
that is heralded by just this misti-
ness of vision. That is chFonic
glaucoma, very painful disease
that may quickly lead to blindness.
If, besides mist, there is feeling
of pain, a specialist should see the
eye at once.
There is such a thing as seeing
straight lines, or lines of print, as
uneven or distorted. People with
this condition, unfortunately,
rarely seem to be very concerned
and mention the fact quite cas-
ually to the doctor as interesting
but not important 1t is, how
ever, an extremely serious symp-
tom. for it shows that there has
been some distortion of the inner
part of the eye, where all the
nerve-endings are situated, pos
sibly by new growth. Not only
does it call for Immediate inspec-
ton, but for a long period Of
observation as well.
There is such thing as seeing
multiple images, with one eye
or both. This generally l. An
