KEEPING WELL EYESTRAIN I)R. FREDERICK R. GREEK Editor of “HEALTH" pVUIt eyes are our most valuable ^ possession. Eighty-five per cent if all we know has been gained :hrough our eyes. Children get some if their knowledge of the world out side themselves through their other senses. But after one is grown, most of what he knows comes through see ing. If you doubt this, put a bandage over your eyes some morning and keep It on all day and see how much you can do without your eyes. Our eyes are also the most sensi tive organ we have. A mere grain of dust in the eye, too small to see, will NEWS IN BRIEF cause the most intense discomfort. Few people have perfect eyes. Nearly 90 per cent of all persons have some defect in their vision. It may be so small as to cause no trouble, but careful examination will show that the eye is not perfect. It is a popular belief that savages have wonderful eyesight but all care ful studies of Indians and other primi tive people show that imperfect eyes are just as common among them as among civilized people. Eyestrain is the commonest of all eye troubles. It is responsible for more headache than any other cause. It also causes eye pain and fatigue, nausea, dizziness, dyspepsia, nervous ness, sleeplessness and inability to work or to concentrate. Most eyestrain is caused by trying to use imperfect eyes without glasses «r without properly fitting glasses. The most common defects of the eye are myopia, or nearsightedness, hyperopia or farsightedness and astig matism. In myopia the eyeball is too long, so that the light rays focus in front of the retina, to hyperopia, the eyeball Is too short. so that the rays focus behind the retina. In astig matism, the eyebull is not curvet! regularly, so that the light rays do> not enter the eye at the same angle. The examination of the eye and the measurement of ita defects are difficult and delicate matters, which should not be attempted by any on* who is not thoroughly trained. Any defect in the eye should be cor rected by suitable glasses so as to re lieve the eye from the constant effect, which it makes to see is spite of Ha weakness. All children, before i should have their eyes examined, not only to find out whether they are able to see well but also to protect thi eyes against the danger of stralnlnj them to childhood and perhaps Injur lng them for life. (©. l»3t. WmUeira U——■) CODE OF ETHICS FOR THE ! NEWSPAPER PROFESSION -_ ; The Wisconsin Press Association unanimously adopted the following! (.■ode of ethics as presented at its meeting in Madison by Professor Willard G. Bleyer, director of the University of Wisconsin course in journalism: “We believe that journalism is an honorable profession, essential to the welfare of society. “We believe that the success of democratic government depends upon sound public opinion, and that the newspaper should aid in creating and maintaining sound public opinion by publishing significant news and edi toral interpretation of news. * “We believe that newspaper writers and editors should be adequately pre pared for the great respensibilities placed upon them. “We believe that a newspaper should publish the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth concerning all matters of import ance to readers as citizens of the community, the Sta^g and the nation. P “We belive that/a newspaper that goes into the hot/e should publish nothing that cannot be read aloud in the family circli. “We beleivr that news of crime scandal and vices should be pre sented in such a \ manner as to deter readers from attempting to imitate the criminal and the vici ous.” “We believe that all persons and all organizations are entitled to fair play in the columns of the newspaper. “We believe in the right of pri vacy of individuals in all matters j not of public concern. “We believe that no propaganda or publicity matter should be pub lished unless it contains informa tion to which readers are entitled, and that whenever such material is printed its source should be plainly indicated. “We believe that editorials should present the truth as the writer sees ■ it, uncolored by bias, prejudice or j partisanship. “We believe that neither the business interests of a newspaper nor any outside influence should in- j terfere with the publication of the truth in news or editorials. “We believe that the purpose of newspaper advertising is to create a demand for commodities of services, to inform reader, not to mislead or defraud them. — “We beleive that advertisements should be as clean and wholesome as news and editorials. “We believe that rates for sub scriptions and advertisements should be sufficient to insure the publisher a fair profit. “We believe that all statements I of circulation should give the ac-1 tual number of bona fide sub- j scribers. ' “We beleive that only such news-1 papers as maintain the highest j ' standards of truth, honesty and decency in news, editorials and advertisements deserve the sup- j port of the community.” Keep the family in good health this summer by feeding them a variety of vegetables from the home garden, urge horticultural workers of State College. SUNDAY OPINIONS TOLD IN EPIGRAM Flashes From The Thought of Evangelist Preaching at Winston-Salem. (L. J. Hampton in Winston-Salem journal.) Did you know that 74 per cent of the criminals of the United States are young people under 20 years of age? That the average age of prosti tutes is down to 16 years? Take Christianity out of a commun ity and nobody would live in it. A woman said to me, “Bill, I got my husband in church twice—the first time when I married him and the sec ond time when he died.” Try serving the Lord. You won’t lose anything. If you don’t like it go back to the devil. Hell is not a state or condition—it is a place. There is nothing more satisfying than the religion of Jesus Christ. Charcoal and diamonds are the same material. But nature treated one so it would reflect light and the other so it would absorb light. The diamond is worth $500 and the lead pencil 5 cents both made from the same material. Be a diamond for God—reflect your light in His cause. I choose Jesus Christ. You can serve the devil if you choose the devil if .you want to—leave me out. When I hear a man cuss—what’s the cause—got the devil in him. When I hear a man pray—what’s the cause —got religion of Jesus Christ in his soul. Seems to worry some because I get a little money for preaching. I take what is given me. I never asked a guarantee in my life. I turned down a proposition to in to the movies and make a million in a year. Not for Bill, oh no! t If I show you hell, the devil would n’t have a friend left. If I could preach in hell and offer to those poor suffering souls the sal vation they long refused here, hell would be depopulated in fifteen min utes. Men stand by the grave where they bury their honor and their minds are somewhere else. The man who lives for himself will have the privilege of being his own mourner at his funeral. A wise man believes in God; the fool doesn’t. The wise man built his house on a rock; the fool on the sands; A wise man will pray; a fool won’t; A wise man will do what God tells him to do to go to Heaven; the fool doesn’t care. The fool hath said in his heart, “There is no God.” . Amundsen Cafiain Roald Amundsen, veter an Norwegian explorer, thrilled the World May 21, when he “hopped off” in an airplane from Kings Bay, Spitsbergen, for the North Pole—a distance of 700 miles or 8 hours flying time. Two planes were in the expedition. HOW MANY FLIES DO YOU WANT IN YOUR HOME? i Fly season is here. i The State Board of Health says j that you can have as many flies as I I you want in your house. The existence of flies is absolutely I dependent upon filth. Flies will not 1 live or breed about a house that is clean. If a flyless home is wanted j the home must be kept clean. This does not necessarily mean that the! floors and walls must be scrubbed and polished until they shine. Cleanliness extends beyond four walls. Some people clean the front yard and forget they have a back yard to keep clean also. An open garbage can often stands on the back steps. Dis carded tin cans are allowed to accu mulate. Sometimes the hog pen is not far from the house. The stables Ul IVA W A V v* HOT #tw kept dean. Sometimes there is an open privy. No wonder under such conditions flies swarm in the house. Of course, the cow stables, the hog pen, the chicken house and the stables are necessary to a farm home, but they can be kept scrupulously clean so as not to furnish breeding places for flies. Flies carry germs. Among the dis ease germs they carry are typhoid, dysentery, tuberculosis and many oth ers. Protective Measures • So long as there are folks who are careless and dirty, so long will there be flies. To entirely exterminate the pest is therefore out of question. All that can be done is to adopt such measures of protection as may be available. First of all, prevent the breeding of flies by destroying their breeding places. Every home can have a sani tary privy, and every home can have clean, sanitary premises. Second, because of carelessness on one’s part or that, of neighbors which permits flies to breed, destroy as many as possible after they are hatch ed to minimise further breeding, us ing fly paper, traps and poison. nurd, screen the home and all places where food is handled or sold. Fourth, carefully disinfect or bury the excreta from persons sick, and keep them protected from flies by screenihg. • You can have as many or as. few flies as you want. But it requires ef fort A clean home is a flyless home. That it takes more than cheap fed eral loans to make a good farmer is shown by the rapidly increasing num ber of foreclosures of mortgages by • Federal and Joint-Stock banks. In the first seven years of the existence of these banks foreclosure proceedings were begun on 2,910 farms. In the single year of 1924 the banks began foreclosure proceedings on 2,226 farms. Still the propaganda sent out from Washington is that business is good and getting better every day. 9 Your Best Partner i A savings account is your best partner.
