What a joy to have the bowels move
I tike clockwork, every day! It’s easy, if

old doctor:
1. Drink a lug tumblerful of water
before breakfast, and several tunes

2- Gel plenty of outdoor exercise with-
out unduly fatiguing yourself.
3. Try for a bowel movement at
exactly the same hour every day.
Everyone's bowels need help at tunes,
but the thing to use is I)r GuldweJLs

i cleaning-out, and it won’t leave your
I insides weak and watery I in- family

tive herbs, pure pepsin, and other helpful
ingredients that couldn’t hurl a child,

tiiiv A. Henry, director of tin- Eye

lie says that projier (are of the
I eyes, and correction of defects during
j early childhood, would mean better
jeye sight during adult life and in old
j age. Many eye troubles ap|x-ai din-
ing youth, and are causerl l»y neglect
or abuse of the eyes during child
1 hood.
GET PROPER GLASSES
Iairge errors of vision cannot Im-
overcome l>v any exertion on tiic part
of the eye muscles. They cause poor
vision. Gases of tlii- kind obviously,
need glasses ill older to x-e.
The slight errors < an often lie
overcome 1>\ the exertion of effort on
the part of the eve muscles. These
ure the iax-- in wliieh headache and
nervous disturbances due to eve
strain are likely to incur. Symp-
tom- of eve strain indicate that the
delect however slight, requires cor-
ns t ion by mean- of properly fitted
id.i-ses.
Errors of vision requiring glasses

AVOID STRAINING
I he eyes of babies ami children
should 1m- shielded from excessive ,
glare and from injurious lights.
\\ hen the child begins to read, lire
light used should lx* steady, non-
glaring, and should come from the
left side. Children should not lx*
jx-1milled to read fine print, or print
on highly glazed tmper. Ihev should
Im taught to avoid straining tlie eyes
bv holding books or papers in bad
position, ns wlien attempting to read
m Ixxl. As reading rerjuires much
nioir visual effort in the child than
in the adult, it should lx* greatly
limited in amount.
Parents and teachers usually have
the best opportunity of detesting
signs of defective vision in early
chddhood. They are al*o in the
lx-st position to teach the child to ]
avoid improper use of the eyes.
