SECRETS OF
HEALTH
~ de. Louis y. BiscIl

4 RE you taking care OF your
"A eyes? Or are you careless
about them, not realizing that.
as you grow older. they change
and that they are q very delicate
mechanism which must not be
trif1ed with?
The eye, Of course, IS like =
camera. You adjust the shutter,
making it large or small. so that
neither too much nor too little
light win pass through. But
what you do deliberately the eye
does automatically. That il. the
pupil contracts. becomes small,
when the light is too strong and
ii dilates. becomes large, when
light is deficient.
The lens OF the eve. however.
is far superior to camera lens.
The eye lens also adjusts itself.
It can focus on an object with
out any effort on your part. a
camera lens. on the other hand.
always remains the same.
The human lens has remark
able power to flatten itself or
make itself rounder, so that rays
passing through it will meet and
/. throw a clear picture on the re-
tina. otherwise the object would
theoretically be focused either
in front or behind the retina,
as the case might be. You would
then not be able to see clearly
and distinctly. In other words,
the object you centered your at
tention on would not be properly
focused where it should be,
directly on the retina, and no
where else.
When we grow old the lens
loses some of it's power of elas-
ticity and flattens more or less
permanently. That is why elderly
persons can see objects far away,
but require glasses with convex
lenses to see near.
Far.sightedness or Hypermetro-
pia is a similar condition. Again
objects come to focus behlnd
the retina, Again convex glasses
are required.
In near-sightedness or MyopIa
the opposite condition prevails.
The lens is too convex. Objects
come to a focus in front or the
retina. That is why concaVe
glasses are needed.
eye difficulty, is caused by an un-
even cornea, the cornea being the
outermost surface covering OF the
eyeball which Is transparent but
resistive and protects the parts
within,
1t is evident, I take 1t, that the
eve, on account Of a lens not ac-
commodating properly, can read1ly
be put under a great strain, de-
nanding glasses or other treat
ment.
If. therefore, your sight is
blurred or indistinct by all means
consult a competent oculist.
Smarting or itching of the eyes,
as well as headaches, likewise de.
nand attention.
Children often require glasses,
but only for short time. After
the strain OF accommodating is
removed and they grow older the
glasses can often be dispensed
with. DO not hesitate, therefore,
to give your child glasses II an
oculist prescribes them.
No one can go through life with
one pair of glasses either.
They should be changed ire
uuentIy. to see whether the lenses
are correct or not.

nARE to be different
~ You have always felt that
you were different--in feature,
shape. coloring and fnannerism
you may resemble thousands Of
other human beings. And the
circumstances Of your life may
be almost identical. Nevertheless
you have stubbornly clung to the
conviction that you-the essen
tiai you are unlike all other
people. You are sure that there
will never be anyone exactly like
you.
AND YOU ARE RIGHT.
YOU ARE DIFFERENT.
You have something to give to
life which no one else can give
and you may take something
from life. which no one else can
take. You can, If you will, make
a unique adventure of life.
BUT IT WON'T BE EASY.
From the day you are born un-
til the day you die, society will
try t0 make you conform-try to
make you feel, think and act like
everyone else. And your own ma
ture will conspire with society
against you.
Different thoughts stimulating
doubts--strange impulses will
come to you, but you will be
afraid to accept them lest they
prove dangerous.
Unusual opportunities will arise,
but you will reject them for fear
people will laugh at you.
You will be the same as other
people, but always you will want
to be different. You will envy
those who are different. You will
say to yourself, wistfnlly, resent.
