From 1928 through 1888 the util-

This was above the average re-

DOCTOR ADVISES
ON READING IN BED

ALBANY, N. Y, May 4. CUP
Reading in bed. rather than be-
ing injurious to the eyes. may
prove beneficial.
DR.. J. F. Morrow, member of
the American Optical company's
bureau of visual science, said in
an address here that bed reading
can be relaxing to the eyes be-
cause the eyes are used at a diff
ferent angle from the one en-
plOyed in office or classroom
work.
He offered the following rules
to govern bed reading:
Have adequate illumination: do
not SLOUGH in bed; incline the
head forward slightly; rest read
ing material on surface 16 to
20 inches from the eyes; rest the
eyes occasionally.

Here's to my Mother,
The dearest on earth,
The most sweetest Mother,
Who gave me birth.
She watched DER me patiently
All the day through
Then tucked me to bed
With the evening dew.
She held me so gently
Whene'er 1 did cry,
And rocked me to sleep
With a soft lullaby.
She sat at my bedside
When fever was high,
And nursed me to health
When she feared I might die.
From Harrington's Spe4ler,
AS proud as could be,
Painstakingly taught me
My A, B, and C.
And dog, dog, and cat, cat;
Then man, man, and hat, hat.

Sure was no trick,
Nor my Reading, nor, Writing,
Nor my Arithmetic.
And when I New older
And started to work.
Yet did my Mother,
Who never did shirk,
Ever she hoped
AS I stayed out at night
That still 1 would travel
The paths that were right.
And now that I'm older
With children, my own,
I'm still just her child,
And have never got grown.
Forever and ever
Till eternity she'll be
Always a Mother,
My Mother, to me.
