To Relievo the Strain on the Eyes.

A medical authority says that in the continued use of the eyes in such work as sewing, typesetting, bookkeeping, reading and studying, the saving point is in breaking off work at short intervals and looking around the room. This may be practiced every ten or fifteen minutes. By doing so the muscular tensiori is relieved, the eyes are rested and the blood supply becomes better. An evidence of the striking uniformity Of size among the Japanese is found in the fact that recent measurements taken of an infantry regiment showed no variations exceeding two Inches in height 01; twenty pounds in weight.
