Cross-Eyed Children
The eyes are considered the most
attractive and the most desirable
part of the human body. Many writ
ers have made this statement.
Some have called them “the hooks
of love” — “the watchmen of the
body” — “the things which make
sound folks mad and mad men sane”
— “the lamps of love” — and “Cup
id’s arrow.”
If one has good eyes, other facial
deformities are not so obvious, and
if one is so unfortunate as to be
cross-eyed, statistics show that the
chances of getting married are ap
proximately only one in two-hundred
and eighty-three.
Cross-eyed people were consid
ered by primitive men to have been
cursed before their birth, and in old
en days they were obliged to occupy
pews away from the rest of the con
gregation during religious services
because they were considered to
have been cursed by the Evil One.
Even today, cross-eyed persons are
supposed, by many, to be hargingers
of ill luck, and children often cross
their fingers to ward off danger from
a cross-eyed individual looking at
them.
A little more than fifty years ago,
a German physician named Von
Grafe devised an operation < to over
come cross-eyes, and as a conse
quence, this condition, previously re
latively common, is now seldom met
with.
Cross-eyes are medically termed
convergent strabismus, and are the
most common gross disorder found
in children. Fortunately if treat
ment is started as soon ps any devi
ation of the eyes become manifest,
the chances are 100 to 1, that the
situation can be corrected, and this
handicap elimilnated from the life
of the young one.
Simultaneous vision with both
eyes, rather than just a cosmetically
good position of the eyes, usually
results from prompt and scientific
surgical attention.
As a rule cross-eyed children have
what some eye specialists term “a
lazy eye” and children with this
trouble, suppress the vision of that
eye and use the normal eye most
frequently.
These little ones are often times
far sighted and experience difficulty
in seeing with both eyes simultan
eously.
Cross-eyes are hereditary, and
there is a distinct tendency for them
to occur in families. I have one
family which I have known for three
generations and every one has had
this trouble, the grandfather assur
ing me that his father and grand
father were also victims of this dis
order.
Sterescopes, with pictures adapt
ed to attract children, stimulate
both eyes to see properly, and cross
eyed little ones should be given this
toy.
The type on books given them to
read should be heavy and of good
size.
The operation required to straight
en cross-eyes is relatively simple, but
too technical to be understood by the
layman and the sooner in life this
operation is done, the more certain
are the results.
So if your child has a squint, or
some defect in his vision, consult

REV. CHARLES E. DUNN
Beverage Alcohol and Social Progress
Lesson for October 29: Micah 2:9-11;
Luke 21:29-31, 34-36; I Corinthians
. .6:9-11.
Golden Text: I Corinthians 6:9.
In Bible passages grouped in the
leson text we find that, through
800 years, drunkennes was recog
nized as an infamous evil that ag
gravated others.
The liquor traffic today is indis
solubly connected with entrenched
evils, and with it ■ stamped out we
could better deal with other prob
lems.
The traffic is always on the defen
sive. Even full-page ads of liquor
advise moderation. None undertakes
to show the blessings of liquor.
Three thousand years ago Solo
mon wrote. “Wine is a mocker.” And
it still deceives men, and mocks them
in the end.
The liquor traffic increases' gov
ernment revenues. But why thus
collect money that must be spent,
with more, to, control the traffic and
deal with its human wrecks?
And we cannot hope for great
social progress as long as this mon
strous evil is licensed to thwart much
that is being done to make things
better.
Some tell us that the use of liquor
can never be prevented, and that the
practical thing to do is to regulate
the traffic in it and allow the govern
ment to share the profit. But Christ
ians should not compromise with any
evil.
The liquor traffic can no more be
regulated than can the devil him- |
self. And the only way to deal with
him is to declare war upon him now j
and forever.
Many, with easy assumption of |
infallibility, brand National Prohibi-1
tion as a falure. But conditions were
never worse than now, with the liquor j
traffic brought from behind swinging
doors and its wares displayed in
glittering show-windows, and an “in
creasing number of women drinking
in “cocktail lounges.”
Let us work for an enlightened
public opinion that in due time Pro
hibition will come agan—to be en
forced and to remain.
FROM THE WRITINGS OF

Crane
Never Hurry
PIANOS
SEE
J.J.LANGFORD&SON
Lord Chesterfield says that a gen
tleman is never in a hurry.
This remark sounds rather uppish,
but there is some truth in it.
All violence, loud speaking and
hurry are signs of weakness. “He
that believeth shall not make haste.”
If one is sure of himself and that
his position is founded upon the truth,
he knows that the stars in their
courses are fighting for him and he
doesn’t have to bluff or bluster.
Lynching negroes, burning witches,
staging bloody revolutions, assassin
ating tyrants and all capital punish
ments are signs that we are not
quite sure what to do.
You can hurt a man’s feelings
much more by what you say calmly
than by cursing at him and shouting.
Hurry breeds nervousness.
The woman comes to the end of her
day with her nerves a-jangle, her
back aching and her head heavy, be
cause all day she has hurried; she
never had, or never took, ±he time to
do things with system are care.
Hurry and worry are twins.
Many a boy ruins his career and
handicaps himself for life by leaving
high school before graduation, be
cause he is in a hurry to get into
business.
Many a foolish couple spend their
lives in friction and unhappiness, be
cause they got married in a hurry.
The engine breaks down, the bridge
collapses, the wall topples, the manu
factured product is rejected for de
fectiveness, because workmen were
careless and in a hurry to get the
job done.
Battles are lost because generals
were in a hurry.
Laws are passed that do infinite
mischief, because they were enacted
in a hurry without due deliberation.
Lives are lost because the surgeon
was in a hurry.
Most of the failures that have
tumbled into the pit of incompetency
got there by being in a hurry.
The opposite and alternative of
hurry is not sloth or laziness; it is
intelligent diligence.
Hurry is the penalty often for lack
of forethought.
If you want to get there on time,
start on time; dont wait until the
last minute, and then hurry.
If you have a lot to do, and are
bewiledered with the many things
before you, take awhile to sit down
quietly, think it all out, set your
tasks in order, make a program, use
system, and then you can unhurried
ly do one thing at a time, and accom
plish vastly more than by trying to
do three things at once.
Hurry nothing No matter how j
much you have to do, if you take.
time to do first things first, and use j
order and care, you will go farther
and fare better.
Haste makes waste, just as surely ‘
as it did in Ben Franklin’s day. And
the longest way around is still often
the shortest way home.
In fine, if you would be (1) effi
cient, (2) skillful, (3) healthy, (4)
unworried, (5) safe, (6) agreeable to
others, (7) well bred, and (8) happy
—don’t hurry.
But keep moving.
