amount down by almost $1,000 000

Dr. Axel Astrom, the Finnish min-

Eyestrain, Ito Causes and
Correction
Almost everyone has something
wrong with their eyes. Some have
only slight Imperfections which are
scarcely noticeable, other defects
which are’serious. Many people do
not know anything is wrong un-
til. for some reason, the eyes are
strained. Eyes may be strained
from too many picture shows or
too much reading. Naturally, the
mere defective the eyes the more
easily It to overworked. Some eyes
are injured from not having glasses
whenneeded. Sometimes imperfect
eyes are caused from injury or ill-
ness. In this case treatment— to-
gether with properly fitted glasses
—is a great help and often a com-
plete cure. The person who finds
through eyestrain that be needs
glasses, should. get them at once,
for anyone who cannot see per-
fectly mioses many of the beauti-
ful sights of life. Eyes very sel-
dom grow bettor of themselves
but. with the aid of glasses com-
piste cures are often effected end
the eyes are always helped. On
the other hand, without glasses
some even go blind. Glasses, of
course, are not beautiful, but they
do not, as many think, make a boy
look “sissyfled” or girls homely.

be followed as closely as possible.
Local civic organisations have al-

LITTLE YOANN TEE *
SURPRISED WITH PARTY
Yoanne Jeter was surprised Sat-
urday afternoon with a birthday
party given by her mother Mrs. Z.
A. Jeter, 1705 Burnett street. After
the guests had assembled, the
French doors were opened and a
large cake with eleven’candies was
exhibited. Each candle in turn was
blown out with the good wish for
Yoanne. Refreshments consisting
of Eskimo spies, cake, candy and
mint# were served to the following:

Judge P. A. Martig testified that
the former husband of her sister
and the father of the little five-
year-old girt, over whom the suit
was filed, threw: 43 phonograph
records at his wife.
"Was hs a good shot with the Vic-
troll recorder* the opposing counsel
asked on cross examination.”
“I don't think so. He threw 42
of them one right after the other."
The mother of the child had
brought suit in the form of a habeas
corpus, asking that the child be re-
stored to her custody arid control,
alleging that the father had violated
the clauses ’of a contract entered
into after a divorce decree had been
secured by her.
The man and woman had agreed
that the mother hf the man should
take the little child in care. The
mother of the child alleged that the
grandmother was permitting the
child te remain with the father.
During the taking of testimony It
developed that the father off the
child married nine days after the
divorce decree had been granted.
The woman he married had resided
In the house with the man and his
wife prior to the separation.
Judge Martin after hearing all the
testimony plsced the little child in
the hands of the ‘father of the
mother it the child. Mo reeMeo with
