If each young school age person
had their eyes fully treated with At
ropine, the glasses that let them see
best while third nerve is thus par
alyzed would be the exact error and
you would find at least three-fourths
with the enormous error Of over
three diopters. These large errors
must tension several sets OF muscles
to get eyes in focus or you could not
see letters two feet high across the
street. No one can hold these mus
cles tensioned all day for long with
out muscles cramping to that posi-
ton. Eyes cramped to a perfect TO
Gus see perfect, they never hurt
after cramping, SO the worst eyes of
young people are called perfect.
II small part of an enormous
error remains uncramped this small
active part will tire and hurt. Wear
glasses to cover this small amount
and the hurting stops. This is what
people are getting for eye correc-
ton. The great big cramped nine
tenths of young eye error Is not
touched. Thus a million dollars
worth of health is lost.
You are lifetime better custo-
mer to the drug store the doctor,

softer because your eyes have ruin

my articles are false.

Excavating was started Monday
for the basement of new Metho-
dist church at Crooked Tree, on the
site of the old church destroyed by
fire on Christmas day two years
ago. The old building had stood for
about a century. 1t was made IA
nous through the country-and in
fact the world, because it was this
church that Mary Reed, famed mis-
sionary now of Chandag, India,
joined when a girl. The church will
be modern, and with the exception
of a small sum of insurance, from
the old edifice, the money will be
raised by subscription from the con-

friends. E. r. Kollar is pastor.

have been carried on in the grange
hall, located nearby, since the old
church was destroyed.
