NEED CARE IN YOUTH CHILDREN'S EYES SHOULD BE CAREFULLY LOOKED AFTER. Lifelong Annoyance* and Serious Injury to Physical Health May Frequently Be Avoided If the Matter Io Taken In Time. Childhood Is the period of development from which man is evolved. At this time of life ail the organs are impressionable and they may be easily Injured by overwork or abuse. Many parents are culpably negligent of their children’s eyes, early attention to which would very often obviate life-long annoyances and possibly Injury to physical health Former President Roosevelt writes tbe following In a recent issue of Out. look magazine: "Quite unknown to myself, I was, while a boy, under a hopeless disadvantage In studying nature. I was very nearsighted, so that the only things I could study were those I ran against or stumbled over. "When I was about twelve I was allowed to take lessons fu taxidermy. It was this summer that I got my first gun and it puzzled me to And that my companions seemed to see things to shoot at which I could not see at all. "One day they read an advertisement in large letters on a distant billboard, and then 1 realized that something was the matter, for not only was I unable to read tbe sign, but I could not even see the letters. *1 spoke of this to my father and soon afterward got my first pair of spectacles, which literally opened an entirely new world to me. I had no Idea how beautiful the world was until I got those spectacles. "The recollection of this experience gives me keen sympathy with those who are trying tn our public schools and elsewhere to remove the physical causes of deficiency in children who are often unjustly blamed for being obstinate or unambitious or mentally stupid.” Optometry has slowly and surely progressed along similar lines to those of medicine, law and dentistry, and today its recognition as a profession is assured by the spirit of its many progressive practitioners, who are continually perfecting methods and devices for the accurate application of its theoretical principles. Much of tbe suffering due to eye strain would be relieved if the one so afflicted would consult the optometrist, who is now being rapidly recognized by the world as the exclusive eye strain specialist. “Think of These Things." Many images of wrong must of necessity come to the young; let them act be multiplied In our feverish and morbid fashion of today. Above all, let them be crowded out by constant suggestion of noble images and noble thought, which will work consciously and subconsciously, shaping the dream when the dreamer is least aware. To hold up before the ardent and impressionable young that which they may become In strength. In purity, would surely be better than placing before them this perpetual movingpicture show of our civic and national transgressions. I can only believe, as I read article after article of exposure, that this continued presentation to youth of the unholy side of life, with our increasing tendency to make education a mere matter of the intellect and of the eye, is bound to lessen the moral energy of the race. Would It not be better if we were more diligent in searching history, philosophy, literature, for "whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report,” and in bidding the young think on these things?—The Atlantic. How to Make a Cherry Pie. Willie bad resigned his position in the big bakery, where he labored in the pie department, and had gone to work In a carpenter's shop for smaller wages. The social Investigator, hav-> Ing heard about Willie, questioned him. “Aren’t you sorry you left the bakery and came to this shop?" sbeasked kindly. "No’m,” Willie answered quickly. "But you get less money.” "Yes'm.” "Well, what was the matter with the bakery?” "Twuz this way,” explained Willie. "It hurt my mouth. I wuz in de pie part, de cherry pie part, an’ I had to stone cherries. An' dey've got a rule over there dat all de boys lias to whistle all de time dey’s workin’, so as to show dey ain't eatin' no cherries.” —Popular Magazine. Slang in the White House. President Wilson's ability to evade the questions of newspaper men is the despair of the profession. He never refuses to answer queries, but he 1b so expert as a verbal fencer that he can answer all day without giving the information the writers want. On one occasion, when he was surrounded by a host of the correspondents at the White House, he was asked a question by Matthew F. Tighe, who, as a cross-examiner of public officials, is a wonder. “As to that,” replied the president, smilingly, "in the vernacular of the day. 'you can search me.”' "There are times. Mr. President.” said Tighe, wistfully, "when I wish I could.”— Popular MiigiMna
