There arc no two people in the
world who have very close to the
same mental viewpoint. Life is in
creasingly interesting because OF
this, especially If we try to under.
stand the different viewpoints Ut
9th ,rs and attempt to add their
understanding Of any subject to or
store Of knowledge.
Most Of the misery of the world
comes from being intolerant OF the
other fellows point Of view. The
simple remedy is to understand that
each one Of US is in different stage
OF mental evolution with varying
degrees Of mental strength and cdu-
cational advantages.
The wise man tries to add to his
store Of knowledge by being tolerant
Of every one else's ideas and BY
trying to make them Fart Of his
own mental material.
What holds good on wha' might
be called this n .ntal plane is not
necessarily true s ia as physical
vision is concerned.
Thee are pairs eyes
exactly alike in the world, and OPP
tometrists tell us that only about
twenty-five cent Of those WHO
have their eyes examined ar found
to possess normal vision.
Most of these defects of vision
can be entirely corrected through
proper treatment to the eyes, inn
proved health and, if need be, the
wearing Of properly fitted glasses.
It is = startling fact to realize
that seventy-tive per cent OF tie
people in civilized countries suffer
from defective eyesight, and that
about thirty ~ cent Of those ex-
amined have been found to be uncor..
rected. These figures ar. gathered
from the compulsory examinations
made Of those in industrial pursuits
and, of course, the number found to
have defective vision would be much
larger if every one could be forced
L to have a careful eye examination
Just think Of the problem in this
way: At least thirty out OF every
hundred people you meet on the
street, work with, or meet driving
automobiles, suffer from astigma.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question: jeanette asks: s'ls it
possible that child will be defornn-
ed because of the mother harboring
morbid thoughts about it being born
without an arm or leg, or do not
such thoughts have any effect on
the child?
Answer: Most medical author
tiles agree that mother cannot pro-
duce a deformity in her unborn child
through harboring thoughts. Most
mothers will not belive this, and will
tell YOU of birthmarks produced
through fear, worry, anxiety, etc.
/ am personally convinced that the
temperament and intelligence OF the
child is affected to some degree BY
the mental condition o. the mother,
but there is no evidence that physi-
cal abnormalities will develop from
the effect Of the mothers mind.

Answer: Varicose veins are pro-
duced by = breaking down ct the
walls of the veins. If the veins ex-
tend over both legs it is sure to be
