OUR EYESIGHT.
Reason For Present Universal Use of
Glasses Explained.
(Chicano Post.)
Nearly everyone can remember a
grandfather or grandmother who wont

and who at. three-score still possessed
the clear strong sight of their teens.
But the men and women of the present
-—why, so far as their eyes are conceruv

larger part. of this generation cannot
hope to fare even to middle age with-
out needing eyeglasses to aid their
failing sight. with a glance at the
school rooms convinces one that the
generation which comes after us will
be groping half—blind and clinging to
spectacles as a shipwrecked sailor
clings to an car for salvation.
And why? Dr. Walter Dill Scott of
the Northwestern univesity asked
himself that question, and then set
about finding the onswarx. The results
of his investigations are impressive

SCHOOL FOR IMBECILES.
What State lnatltutlon is Doing for
Unfortunate People.
The biennial report of the Connecti-
cut Schooi for Imbeciles for the two
years ending September 30,1906, Shows
that the number ot children connected
with the institution at Lakeville dur-
ing the year ended September 30,1905,
was 274, and for the year ended Sep-
tembcr 30,1906,298
The number of state beneficiaries
connected with the institution for the
year ended September 30.1905,wus
240, and fo rthe year ended September
30 1906, the number was 265.
Those present October 1, 1905,11llm
bcrcd 222,1nd October 1,1906, the
number present was 233. The amount
received from the state for their sup~
pert. for the two years was $109, 057. 45,
St 4 676.15 for the first and $54. 381 for
the second year
The board oi? directors calls atten-
tion to the fact that the institution has
again reached the limit of its capaci-
ty. On this subject the Ieport says:
"it has always been our aim to re-
ceive and cure for all the children the
state desired to send us, but the rippli-
(Intiorls during the past year have so
far outrun our accommodations that
some of the most imperative cases
have had to be denied admission until
a vacancy should occur. As removals
are almost unknown, once the child-
rcn become members of the institu-
tion family. the vacancies in any one
your are very few. In calling your at
tenlion to the report of the superin-
tendent, We would like to emphasize
the economy as well as the humanity
of caring for the feeble-minded in
time to obtain the fullest results from
the work of prevention. The state can
do this to the best advantage only
when it. provides a suitable home with
competent oversight for its defective
children. We would like to empha-
size our conviction that another build-
ing is an immediate necessity if ade
quate provision is to be made for the
cars of the feeble minded in Connec-
tieut.“
The report of the superintendent.
Dr. George ll. Knight. also emphasiz-
es the some need in the following
words:
"it is with great regret that I have
to report to you that our present ea-
paclty is taxed to the utmost, and that
there can be no further admissions un-
til vacancies occur unless we enlarge
our accommodations. We cannotrover-
crowd the feebleminded. They need
more, not less, room than a normal
person. Often without any training in,
or appreciation of, the minor decencies
of life they especially need light and
air and space. The present luck of
room in this institution bears hardest
of all upon ilre very poor. For the well-
to-do there are a number of private
institutions in other states where ad-
mission is possible, but the opportuni-
ty is closed to the Indigent: among us.
The defective in the state are our own
special charge. We cannot cure the
feeblemlndcd nor control. as yet the his wife is afraid be Is conceuflng,
forces which produce them. We can a confession he ought to make to
only prevent the reproduction of their her
own kind by providing a homo and
oversight, practically for alifetime, for
all this class who depend upon the
care and protection of the strife. "
. WATER AS 'A' BEVERAGE. 1!! ‘
Feéttest 'After an Apple and Coolest
After a Peppermint Drop.
"Water is the finest drink in the
world.” said the epicure in little
things, "but not every one knows how
to get the most enjoyment out of
drinking it.
"For instance, water should never be
drunk immediately after an apple has
been eaten. if]? as a beverage it then
has a taste re flat and insipid than
as if it had b III taken from a cold tea.
kettle.
“On the other hand there is nothing
to my mind that makes water taste
more cool and refreshing (not counting
actual thirst) than to eat a peppermint
drop before taking a drink of it.
“And, while peppermint stands at the
head, a drink of water isparticulariy
and noticeably good after any water
or lozenge. Popcorn, on the other
hand, takes all the animation out of a
subsequent swallow of water.
“Nor do bread and water so well to-
gather The water takes the sweet-
ness out. of the bread. and the bread- 9"
takes the liveliness out: of the water
and makes it flat beyond degree.
"The tyrant who first hit upon bread
and water as a prison fare of punish-
ment knew his business.
“The enjoyment of a drink of water
varies, too, with what you drink it
from. You would not offer to a. sick
person a drink of water in a. cup, but
rather in a glass, the thinner the bet
ter. The fact that the water itself in
all its limpld clearnoss is present to
the sense of sight stimulates an expec-
tation that is gratified along with the
sense of taste.
‘I have frequently observed men
about to drink some other beverage
than water and it. appears to be a
very common habit with them to re-
gard the liquid steadily for some see
onds before swallowing it often hold.
lug it on a level with their eyes in
order to see it as clearly as possible.
"Surely this lesson should not be lost
upon the man who knows that there is
no drink like water. While you are
drinking it enjoy it.
“ For my own part, I like water from
a big tin dipper even better than from
a thin tumbler, but best. of all drink
ing dishes for me is a newly made
birch bark dipper, all the better if I
have made it myself
"Dip a full dipper from the ormter
of the bubbling spring, take a look to
see how limpid it is against the clean
yellow freshness of the dripping dip-
per, put your lips to the water itself
and then take one of the sweetest gifts
