Address him at Boadicea house, Brasilia 1 Eye' fatigue is an important subject ear discussion. A large percentage of the ,people of this province, are un- aware of the dangers to their eyesight hat result from fatigue. We have only one; pair ^ of eyes -that -is, those oe us who.are'"blessed with normal vision, and the eyes we have are the only ones we over wi11have, It ie most important therefore thatwe try !to preserve our sight as much as possible and not subject it to any unnecessary' strain. For a long time it was thought'. that strain on the eyes only applied to students. Scarcelyanybody suffered from eye' headaches except the book- worms. Now we find that many others classes ofpeople are affected with eye, strain., Take the farmer plewing,his' furrow, who looks Steadily at .the.. ground hour after hour trying to keep in a straight line and tryipg not .to "bite off" too much or; too little • earth at each roll of the sod;- To do this he keeps his eye. muscles _in the same state of contraction all day long. When evening comes he ;often has some little bit of ground tofinish and keeps on in the fading light,ttherehyincreasing' the strain to which he has been sub-, jected all day. Its muscles' get tired;' his nerves get tired, his brain gots tired and then 'when he. goea•home he Often subjects his eyes to further, strain by doing chores about the house' or barn or reading the paper in Im- perfect light, There is nothing : that n` n sooner reflects en the: general health of the individual' than eye strain, for it has a very Strong. influence on. the general liery • ous mechanism of the body and con- tinou, u s eyestrain may lead in to, general neryous'�breakdliwn. The eye is a°most intricate piece of . apparatus. and , very delicate in its construction. No machine made,by man is so perfect in construction oso elaborate in design. To serve the eye, no less than twelve muscles are pro- vided. Of the twelve important nerves ;that come off directly from the brain, one-third, or four, are for the service of the eye. Shortly after the start of life :we are endowed with good eyes and if care is taken we preserve them, But there are -many pitfalls by the way, and from one cause or another the eyesight becomesnot so good as it should be. There is the question of strabismus or; squint to be "thought of. This often develops in early life due to weakness of certain ' of the eye muscles which) from one cause or an- other fail to develop- as .they should and thus the•moie• powerful'"end' more developed- muscles rotate • the •eye. out of -its proper place and the condition commonly known as &quint., results. There is a remarkable lack of knows-• "edge about the seriousness of squint. Many people have the opinion that squint in children' will right itself if left• alone. There are thousands of one -eyed people in this province to- day just because their parents thought they' would allow the squint to right itself. 'Intelligent and proper medical treatment of the eyes in squint is the only waylay -which one can hope for good results. Never leave a case of squint to right itself. Go to an oculist at once, and especially in the case of young children this condition of squint should be rectified if possible before the child is five, years old, . If allowed to go longer, the sight of the "turned" eye will most likely be damaged" for life. An ounce of prevention in this case is worth a pound of cure. With The Scout Testament Published. The Boy Smuts Association is glad to be able to announce the publication of a o Scout B Testament bearingthe Y heeighia of the Assaeiatlon and a ape- tial preface containing the Scout Pro - Misr) and Law and a list of. New Tes- tament Scripture reading on the Boout Law, When taking hie investiture each Hoy Scout promisee on his honor to do his best to do his duty to God., rn making this the drat item of the Boy Scout Promise, the Boy• Scouts. As. sociation declares its conviction that 110 boy can become the best kind of Canadian citizen without .recognizing bis obligation to God, It Is the belief of loaders of Scouting that the Scout programme, properly carried out, of- fers one of the most natural and effec- tive means for developing a boy spirit- ually. Next to the. Scoutmaster's ex- ample and the troop meeting and camp atmosphere, one of the deflnitely ef- feetive'oppartunities for touching the boy's religious side occurs at the camp pre, particularly, the Sunday Scouts' Own. This is the ideal occasion for. the reading or telling of stories from the Bible calculated to inspire the high thinking and Christian living' which is; the underlying thought of the Scout Promise and Law. How to Become a Scout. Any boy_12 years or over desiring to become d Boy Scout may apply for membership at the 1ieadgdarters of tho nearest troop, on its `regular meeting". night. • In case there is notroop in his neigh- borliood or town, the best course, In company with the otltet• boys interest- ed, is to call upon the Sunday school or day school teacher, clergyman, or other prospective leader selected, and request hint to organize a -Scout Troop.
