CARE OF THE EYES

Many persons become blind, or go
through life with impaired ision, because
of neglect of the most ordinary precau-
tons, according to Dr. Steelsmith of Iowa,
who gives some good advice in recent
article.
He declares that the putting of drop
or two of silver solution into the eyes of
an infant at birth is a most important mat
ter, as five or six different kinds of germs
which may cause partial or complete blind
ness are liable to cain access to the infants
eyes at that time.
1t is also important to keep sharp or
pointed instruments, such as scissors, PEN
ellis and dangerously shaped toys away
from very young children, and any foreign
body which happens to get into the eyes
should be given immediate attention. No
inflammation of the eyes, howe i slight,
should be neglected.
With respect to cross-eyes, DR.. Steel
smith advises that steps be taken to correct
this condition very early, ano he declares
that child no more than q year old NAV
be taught to wear glasses for Strengthening
the squirt, which will in most cases effect
a permanent correction. He warns against
the use of ten-cent store glasses or any
glasses not prescribed after expert exami-
nation of the eyes.
Reading in poor light or in bad po-
sition strains the eyes unduly, while glare
is also harmful and should be avoided as
much as possible.
Considering what handicap poor
eyesight places upon the individual, it is
really strange that the simple precautions
recommended by health authorities are SO
frequently neglected.

SMALL INVESTORS ALERT

Swiftly changing events make it i'm
possible for us to take yesterday as guide
to tomorrow, and the average small invest
or is particularly puzzled. And there are
immense numbers of small investors-me
and women everywhere whose funds are
invested in stocks of various companies, and
who wonder what tomorrow may bring.
The day has pass when the small
investor could forget his investments He
must now be alert to company manage
ment. As pointed out by Joseph Zook,
president of the newly organized Mont
gomery Ward Stockholders association in
Chicago developments of the past few
years "have served to teach the small in
weston, to his sorrow, that he must take a
direct, personal interest in the conduct of
concerns to which he entrusts his savings.
lie he does not, no one else will"
The group Mr.. Zook heads is an in
teresting example of how small investors
are awakening to their responsibilities. It's
members have organized to demand ''nec-
essary changes" in the Montgomery Ward
management and methods. Stock
holders large and small are banding them
selves together with Mr.. Zook, former
treasurer of the company, to bring about
constructive changes creating efficiency,
economy and larger returns to investors.
Small investors everywhere now real
ize they should see to it that their funds
are protected as carefully as they safe
guard their jobs, farms, stores, q homes.

A CRITICS ERROR


That minor personal habits have no
important bearing upon ones ability is H.
Illustrated by a little joke that The late Gen.
eral Goethals. builder of the Panama Can
al, was fond of telling on himself.
Long before the now ubiquitous "cof-
fin nails" became popular. or even re-
spectacle. the general became an inveterate
cigarette smoker.
When Goethals. then major, was as
signed the difficult task of building the
canal in 1907. after other eminent engi-
neers had failed, Washington newspaper
editor commented unfavorably upon his Sc
lection for the job After recounting the
failures of others to accomplish the task,
the newspaper said:
And what in heavens name can you
expect of man WHO parts his hair in the
middle and smokes cigarettes?"
Yet Goethals did build the canal. al
though he continued to part his hair in the
middle and smoke cigarettes as long as he
lived.
