Eye Don'ts

Don't read, study or sew lying down. Don't despise the day of little tliings. The whole system needs to be in good condition to keep each organ right. So keep your body strong, for when the body weakens the eyes weaken ; this is the reason of failing sight in oíd age. Don't go where there is a glare of either sunlight or electric light more than you can help. The green of the country and of the trees is restful for the eyes. Don't use the eyes wlien very tired or weak from sickness ; they are the most sensitive of your organs, and the tire as the rest of us tires, and use after a certain point of fatigue or weakness has been reached is injurious to any part of our body. Don't have the light fall on your work or book f roin the front ; have it slightly back and from the side, preferably the left. Don't forget that the water is the most effieatious in case of inflammation or tiredness. Bathing for about ten minutes with water as hot as you can bear your elbow in is almost a sure relief. A boric acid solution that can be obtained at any drug store is also excellent. Don't go to an optician to get glasses without flrst being examined and treated by a good occulist. Much harm is often done in this way, and }'our eyes are not things to run any risks with. Don't neglect or strain your eyes ; they are the most precious and useful of your senses. Take as good care of them as in your power in the tirst place ; but, if they are not as they should be, have them attended to at once. Remember if once injured they are never quite so good as they were before. - Philadelphia Record.
