There is no reasonable law that can cause money to stick to a fool, and you cannot any more legislate prosperity into a people’s experience than you can legislate brains into their heads.

CHILDREN—School There are very few of us who do not have some form of eye trouble. Accc^ding to M. J. Julian, president of tne Better Vision institute, only about half of the school children who should be wearing glasses are wear ing them. Among young children it is very difficult to tell whether they have eye'trouble, for a child doesn’t us ually realize that he can’t see what his playmates can see. Often young children have great difficulty with their school work and when it is fl- nally discovered that the difficulty is eye trouble rather than brain trou ble, glasses bring about a complete change in ability and personality. Teddy Roosevelt, who all through his adult life wore thick glasses, is a good example, of that. The flrst few years of school were a great stroMie to him and not until his ’teens did he or his family discover the reason. Then one day he was given a gun as a present and was surprised to find that his friends were shooting at^ things he couldn’t see. A little later' one of his friends redd the words on a billboard aloud when Teddy could n’t see the words at all. It was then he told his mother he thought he had eye trouble. Soon af ter he was fltted with corrective glasses and his whole personality changed. Instead of being a shy, awkward boy, he became fllled-jwith self-confidence -and- a leader of his friends. Probably we would never have heard of him, when he became a man, if that eye trouble hadn’t been taken care of. * • ANGER^-^yes That expression, “I’m so mad I can’t see” is bas^ on good sound Bates, Columbia, and Harry M.

To a fairly large group, excitement sharpens and stimulates the eyesight so that they can see better imder emotion. The emotional effect on the eyes of telling lies has always been pro nounced, even to the casual observ- ler. We all have seen people become shifty-eyed and have immediately suq;>ected that-^hey weren’t telling us the truth. This demonstrates the close relationship between the eyec and the emotions. Dishonesty, if practiced on a large' scale, has a per manent effect on the action of the eyes, so that a person Isading a dis honest life gets so he can’t avoid be ing shifty-eyed even when he is tell ing the truth. The eyes are not only affected by our emotions b^ they also refl^ our emotions. It is easy to hy look ing into p^c^le’s eyes, if fftey.afe angry or afraid. And tha chai^ in their eyes that we see whan they are emotionally wrought up also affects their vision.
