By facing at window unshaded, un- shaded lamp or electric light whilst reading, sewing or doing any kind of work In which a close use of the eyes is necessary, is the cense of many eye trouble~i, Likewise going with the eyes unprotected from the glare of the sun shining ora the snow or pavements may inclnce a retinitis; which new per- manently injure the eyesight. Work- ing at dusty occupations, or in close, clerk, ill -ventilated rooms is one cif the chief causes of inflarnnin,tnrycondi Lion of the eyelids and internal coverings asf the eye itself. But the most frequent of all the causes of eyesight troubles is glasses the neglect to wear when , they are needed or in the wearing of im- properly fitted or unsuitable glasses. Large numbers of people through van- ity, because they think glasses would make them old looking, refuseto weer them at all,to the serious detriment of the eeresight. Multitudes on the other hand are wearing glasses impro- perly fitted and wholly unsuited to them. Thanks to the use of the house to -house tramp spectacle pedlar makes of the "free -eye -test" fake! Of all the fakes this one is the most dangerous as it maty be the means of causing ser- ious eye troubles. If any personin this col'rntry professes to work for nothing he is either a philanthropist ist or a contemptible trickster, Fartuo- ately, there are some philanthropists, but it would be unwise to look for them among the host of tramp, house- to-house spectacle pedlars and free -eye testers. It is a singular commentary on the credulity, a nd gullibility of hu- man nature that a strange tramp whose name and residence are alike unknown should be able to intrude himself into the homes of the people and beguile then] into parting with their cash in exchange fur cheap glasses. The far- mers' wives and daughters are the chief victims of this variety of tramp, but, not infrequent the sturdy farmer himself hecouies a dupe of the wily "free -tester." If it were not for the serious results which may ensue from the weariug of unsuitable glasses the performance of the house-to-house spectacle pedlar would be comic. In so far as the loss of money is concern- ed no one can have any sympathy for the dupes of the pedlar; but on the other hand, since his labors may be the cause of serious eye troubles. the public;health is endangered. . Next to the loss of life the loss or impairment of the eyesight is the greatest misfor- fortune. In the interest, of the public health, steps should be taken to stamp out this particularvariety of the tramp pedl-rr"'In . the meantime in order to aha a this nuisance a good pian to pur- sue world be to slam the door in the tramp's face, order him off the prem- ises and to expedite his departure call for the dog; then as these gentry neg- lect to pay even the pedlars' license tax, take further action against him as a trespasser. 13y adopting this pro- cedure a considerable amount of mon- ey will he saved, the eyesight of the people will not he tampered with by ignorant experimenters and fewer peoples' wives and daughters will be seen coming to town having their fac- es ornamented with brass eye furni- ture. In appearance and accent the tramp spectacle pedlar has many of the traits of the children of Israel, but it is believed he is not genuine, that he is rather a descendant of Ishmael whose hand be• it remembered was against every man's hand; although the modern Ishmalite seems rather to have his hand against every man's poc- ket. From the fact that the strange pedlar's name is unknown he is enabled to assume the name of any well-known oculist if he can thereby effect. a sale. Such examples of his assumption of the name of oculists are innumerable. Now in all cases of persistent bead ache, dizziness, failing eyesight, etc., the proper course is to consult the fam- ily doctor or an oculist. An oculist is a surgeon who has made a special study of the eye and who is compet- ent to prescribe glasses or other treat- ment suitable to each individual case, Neither the phi siclan nor the oculist will advise glasses unless they are re- quired. The tramp house-to-house spectacle pedlar tries to palm off his wares on everybody irrespective of their needs provided they have the ready cash. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Sale Rill Season Now Here Our friends, the fanners, will some of them soon be selling their farms, farm stock, implements, ete. When they do so they want a "good sale." The best way to get it is to have your hills printed here and the sale advertised in The Exeter Advocate That goes to nearly every home in the eonim-unity. A wise thing is to put the whole sale in the paper. It will do more good than the hills as the articles are read at leisure in the home not hurriedly as you pass along the road, We also give you a short free notice under "Sale Register."
