SCIENTIFIC TRUTH
The following article on Eye Strain appeared in The Youth's
Companion of Novomber 24th. We reproduce it beeause it is simple
truth, well told. The Youth's Companion contains each week, a short,
concise article on some medical subject, written by some eminent au
thority, in language so plain that the unlearned can understand it, and
yet it is thoroughly scientific. '
Eye Strain :
"Many persons are suffering trom eyestrain either through ignor
ance or through obstinancy. The misery that some apparently slight
defect of vison, if uncorrected by glasses, may cause is hard for anyone
to realize who has not himself experienced it. It may cause not only
headache and pains in the eyes but also reflex neuralgia often In the dis
tant parts of the body. It may cause giddiness and other nervous dis
turbances of the most varied character. It often induces dyspepsia; it
leads to constipation; it has produced symptoms so -losely resembling
those of appendicitis as to lead the surgeons to operate. St. Vitus's dance
and even convulsions simulating the convulsions of epilepsy have been
entirely relieved by the fitting of proper glasses.
"Sometimes a sufferer is able to recognize his own condition. He
has what is called weak sight; after reading or doing any other work that
requires to be looked at closely and continuously, he finds that his eyes
begin to water, and that objects become blurred and finally fade away.
Although such a person may discover that by closing his eyes for a few.
moments, by massiging them gently or by bathing them in cold water
he can restore his normal visioivfor a while, he finds that if he persists
in using his eyes the symptoms always return. Such a person is com
paritively fortunate, for he does not keep on straining his eyes but goes
of his own accord to have his eyes fitted with glasses.
"It is the person whose eyes have onlv a slight defect that is most in
danger, for he does not know that his eyes are wrong and unless the
doctor or some wiss friend warns him he will never think of referring
his suffering to them and may go for years unrelieved.
'Persons sometimes object to using glasses on the ground that if
they once start wearing them they will be unable to dispense with them;
that objection also applies to the man who has lost a leg, and who gets a
crutch. If glasses are needed they should not be dispensed with! Prop
erly fitted glasses may save years of misery, and may also prevent cata
ract, which is the not infrequent result of a long period of unrelieved
eyestrain."
Our professional work is relieving "Eye-strain" and teaching
"Eye-Care."

ter in the mail box 40,000,000
other letters are already pushing
and jamming through the postal
machinery. One letter a day for
each family of five persons in the
United States is given to Uncle
Sam to deliver.
When you send a parcel to the
post office for mailing any day
there are about 8,000,000 other
parcels ahead of yours passing
through the postal hopper. This
is in ordinary days; at Christmas
time it is multplied many times.
One family in about every ten
puts a badly addressed letter in
the mail every day. This mixes
up over 2,000,000 half-addressed
letters with the 40,000,000 fully
addressed letters. That means
that the fully addressed letters
must wajt on the slow-moving
poorly addressed letters just like
the larger boys and girls are
delayed by a bunch of "bad kids
tagging along.
First find out if your family is
the careless one,- then bear in
mind that your letters must be
handled by skilled mail distribu
tors standing in post offices and
on swaying postal cars of a rhile-a-minute
mail trains, often under
poor light.
The address on every letter,
card, or package must be correct
complete, and legible, including
the house number and name of
street, and the "From" address
should be in the upper left-hand
corner so that the mail will be
returned to you in case it is not
delivered. Do not abbreviate
names of States because so many
look alike when so abbreviated.
Put the proper amount of post
age on your letters and wrap the
parcels carefully. Avoid fancy
writing, which causes post-office
clerks and letter carriers to stop
and study, and thus lose time.
Make the address plain and easily
read, and always use pen and ink
or typewriter and light-colored
envelopes, so as to save the eyes
of the post-office clerks. Do not
use envelopes of unusual Size.
The LITLLE ones that are so
frequently used for cards and
notes at Christmas or other holi
day times cause an untold a-
mount of trouble and labor,
they will not fit our cantc.
machines and must therefore
canceled by hand. Because
their size and tendency to slip out
of a package, these small envel
opes are more likely to be over
looked or lost.
Mail your letters and packages
early in the day because this
avoids overloading and delaying
mail at the end of the day.

ND," Gregory Morse added,
"as I've always said, I
think people should be
honest with each other be
fore morrloKe. I Won't p
prove of divorce curious
thing to be speaking of on
the very evening I'm asking
you to marry me, but it has
a bearing on the subject.
No," he emphasized, "I
don't approve of divorce. Of
course there are ve.-y extenuating cir
cumstances at times. Hut I think
most of them could be avoided If
people talked openly and candidly be
fore they were inarrle.l."
He told her then that he cared for
children, that they would menn a
great deal lo him.
She felt herself growing more and
more tense. The whole of her ached
forjilm. Yes, she had waited all her
life for him, never mistaking In any
of the others, the substitute for the
real.
"I feel as you do," she said softly,
"I love children !"
And she spoke the truth. But yet a
truth that was only half a truth.
They were married, hi the little vil
lage church on Christmas Eve and
when later the carols pealed forth lliey
felt as though even the carols were
for their happiness alone!
They hod been married several
years. Closer and closer had they
grown together. How glad she was
she had waited until she was sure
she loved. She hod had so many pro
posals, and there were girls who had
had so few. She had often thought of
the girl to whom the simplest of
pleasures had come as a complete and
magnificent joy. This girl had had no
attentions, her life had been almost
manless. At last came a man Into her
life, very slowly, very unemotionally,
but each slow step nlong the way was
one which thrilled her and which
mounted up to huge and great propor
tions. It had to he a great deal to
rouse Marjorle but Gregory had
roused her fully.
She had always kept her fresh
(harm and her appeal thnusli she had
left youth behind. Her skin was
smooth, her color good, her eyes
dark and lustrous and her hair had
no traces of gray.
But during this time no children had
come to them. Gregory now didn't
seem to care whether they came, or
not. He was quite content with her.
"People change their ideas after
they marry if they really love the
woman they marry," he used to tell
her. "Before they liave theories. Now
If children came, all well and good.
But I couldn't be any happier than I
am now."
She know he spoke the truth. She
knew It. He was even Jealous of her
eagerness for children. Was this
what it meant to marry, he some
tiroes-asked himself. Did people for-
"I Feel You Da."
get about each other and sink their
hopes and ampliations and ambitions
and emotions and dreams into the
coming of another generation when
they had sworn and believed before
God and man that they would only
love each other. Did they love each
other so little? Did they care only for
the sake of the family? It couldn't
be.
That was too cold n belief.
Another year passed and they began
growing apart. Marjorle had become
restless, unhappy. Was it because of
children? Gregory asked himself.
Couldn't she have been happy with
him? Wus his marriage to be a dis
illusion? But one evening she came to him.
"Gregory." she said, "I have so much
to tell you. Let me begin from the
beginning. I'vebeen going to tell you
this so many times.
"Wheji I married ydu I lied to you.
Now, don'V interrupt ro, dear. Yes,
I lied about my age. I loved you. I
was Lit '.ad If I told yon that perhaps
I was too old to have vhildren that you
Wouldn't marry me that I would
lose you. And I couldn't lose ye.
Don't yon see It was because I loved
you so that I lied to you?" she tried.
I love I you so," the repeated.
"My darting, I'm so relieved." he
said. "Ail I tare about Is that you
love me."
"I know that," she told him. "nut
the heritage of my life has been
punishing me. Even though I i;now
you don't think now that children
make any difference I know I cheated
you, whom of all others I csred most
for."
"Marjorle. Marjorle dear," he
caressi d her, "I am so relieved that I
know how what has been worrying
you. I was afraid you had ceased to
love me."
"It was never that, It was never
that." she said.
"You jsee. Marjorle." he went on.
"If at first yon had told me you were
to have a child I would have been de
lighted It would have seemed the
conventional Idea of the completion
of married life which I hod pictured
in my mind. Afterward I realized that
the most Important of all was that
I had you and hived you and that you
loved me,
"Lately rve become very Jealous
of your desire for children because I
though I didn't count so much. How
dreadfully we've grojied in the dark
even though we have been so close
together."
She was happy then as she hadn't
been before, happy in the love that
he now gave her, the love for which
she had braved a He.
And even asf he held her cldse she
thought of It and life so full of per
plexing moral Issues. Had she not
lied to him would she have fulfilled

their own happy destinies? Would
they have not ratheV gone their separ
ate way, yet two more unhappy
mortals whose lives were but a
makeshift?
Yet she had lied and In that lie
she had cheated him, the one whom
of all others she had cared roost for
she hads cheated most completely.
Perhaps he didn't care for children
now. Perhaps he would never think
of them again, rerhaps, oh perhaps,
a hundred conjectures! - ,
Hut clearly standing above the
others were these two Issues she
lied to win him and liecause
He she had cheatody and played false
to the one she loved.
A He H a vigorous parent, imbu
ing its offspring with its ever power
ful blood of doubt and worry. Always,
she felt, she would think from time
to time that she had cheated him, and
thai In the deep recesses of her mind
he would 'feel her love had been a
very frnll and weak thing.
Yet again and again reverted to her
mind the knowledge that had It not
been for thnt He when she had spoken
It Gregory and she would never have
been happy.
And these doubts and worried
thoughts wnre the heritage, of a He
stjcll as hers had been.
It seemed like a miracle. She had
given up all hope. Still at times the
lie she had told In the first place of
till haunted her, because she felt she
had cheated Gregory. He never re
ferred to It. He seemed radiantly
happy. But she bad worried.
And then seme 1 1 '.me after she had
told him, she knew. She was glad she
had told hlnij She was glad that he
knew her weaknesses r.nd faults and
all. Her happiness over the coming
child was so much greater because she
had told him.
"And it's to bean anniversary child."
The Christmas carols were pealing
forth when a small hoy opened his
eyes upon the world so new to him.
'Tm sorry It's not a girl so we can
call her Marjorle," Gregory smiled.
"I'm delighted It's a boy end that we
can name him Gregory," Marjorle
whispered.
"Merry Christmas," Gregory said, a
little later. The dock just struck
twelve.
"Merry Chrisimus," Marjorle nn
