Your Health
by DR., MORRIS FIsHBEIN

ME eyes are among the most delicate organs of
the human system and for that reason they
demand much more consideration than do most other
parts Of head and body.
1t has been said that there are three inonortant
conditions which aid in preservation of good vision
THESE are good light, good print and good health
Nowadays schools and industries pay much more
attention to the provision of good light and good
print than they used to.
School desks have been developed to hold children
IN suitable posture IN relation to their work and to
make certain that their bodies held at proper
angle and at proper distance in relation TO their
eyes Most modern textbooks printed in fairly
large type on good paper without glaze to avoid glare.
THE best light is that which is sufficient TO make
l. the contrast between The black print and the
space between the letters stand out clearly and
sharply. Light must be free from shadows, free from
glare, and free from flCkers.
The proper amount Of light is obtained from a
60watt frosted bulb placed IS to 20 inches from
the printed page When light is 21a to feet away,
100-watt bulb is required.
To prevent the effects of glare all light should fall
the printed page and directly the eyes This
is brought about by sitting in such position that the
light falls on the printed page from above and slight
ly behind over the left shoulder
EQUALLY important with good light and good
L print is your general health. The eye is an or
gan of the body which receives its nutrition through
the blood.
If the blood is diseased, the eye may also become
diseased Therefore the blood must be kept good
state or the eyes will reflect its weakened condi-
ton.
The eye is susceptible to poisons taken into the
human body and it is known that blindness may re-
suit from nicotine from other poisons The OBJ
sence of Vitamin from the diet brings about in
flammaton of the eyes.
The eye responds TO overuse and overstrain BY
affecting other parts of the body that headaches
nervousness and even disturbances of the stomach
may associated with unsatisfactory conditions Of
vision
This is particularly important because most of the
ordinary disturbances of vision be corrected by
suitable examination Of the eyes and by providing
proper glasses

And the name most frequently
whispered among them is that of
Lew Douglas, former Director of
the Budget.
Scion of a wealthy Arizona cop
per family, former close adviser to
Mr.. Roosevelt. bitter critic of New
Deal policies. MIR. Douglas is con-
Sidered the ideal choice by many
of those who would stop Roose-
welt. They figure that a conserva-
tive Democrat has better chance
to split the Democratic party
carry the Solid South as we'll as
Republicans of the North and
West-than any old-label Repub-
hcan.
This may not be the view among
Republican Grass Rooters of the
Midwest. but it Is the present
philosophy of conservative politics
of the East.
Lew Douglas. they whisper, will
be the st. George to rescue them
from the New Deal dragon.
THE story of a $500 100000 mis-
Il take will be told for the first
time when Secretary Harold
Ickes' new book comes out late
this month. The book is an &C
count of the two years of PWA,
entitled Back to Work"
The mistake involved the orig
inal appropriation for Public
Works made just after Mr.. Roose-
,elt entered Office in 1888.
On a warm May day Senator
Robert Wagner of New York was
hastily inspecting a final copy of
the PWA bill. 1t had been drafted
by Simon H. Rifkind. then Mr..
wsgner's secretary. The bill called
for an appro priation of
$4,000. 100000.
Mr.. Wagner. calling to Mr.. Riff
kind through the noise of other
conversation. said:
Does this three billion figure
include the s3OOO0OO00 for New
York;"
In reply Mr.. Rifkind said. Il
put it in"
But in the confusion Mr.. Wag-
ner thought he said. Put it in"
So he did. He crossed out the
SO 1000 100000 and wrote instead
$500. 100000.
Thus when the President sent
his PWA message to Congress
on MAY II. he said:
"A careful survey convinces me
that approximately s3.300.00o 900
can be invested in useful and nee
essary public construction"
IN the allegedly august United
Il States Senate the matter of
personal privilege is highly i'm
portsnt. Part of the rule is that
no Senator shall say or cause to
be put in the Record anything
derogatory of a colleague.

within the Democratic party be-

their gross income is S6 week.
A compilation by the Bureau OF

cotton wallowing around 6 or 7 cents

gross income was slightly under $500.
Today crop control and benefit pay
