EYESIGHT
Eye Diseases
Defective vision and diseases of the eye are two entirely
distinct conditions. The former is usually due to cer-
tain weaknesses of the muscles or an error of refraction,
and can be overcome by wearing corrective lenses.
Diseases of the eye—and there are many of them—are
more serious and require medical or surgical care.
The Optometrist is trained to recognize various eye and
body diseases, as well as symptoms of certain systemic
disorders, and will immediately refer the patient to a
physician.
An occasional “check-up” on your eyes by a Registered
Optometrist is the best possible safeguard against eye
trouble. We are at your service.

MEETING AT MILL HALL
The regular monthly meeting of
the Central Pennsylvania Rabbit and
Cavy Breeders’ association was held
at Mill Hall, Saturday evening, with
a good attendance. One of the fea-
tures of the gathering was a visit to
the Acme rabbitry where secretary
Cross displayed his sanitary hatch-
es and fine herd of New Zealand
rabbits. Various topics of interest to
the breeders were discussed, partic-
ularly the marketing of rabbits for
food purposes. According to reports
of some of the breeders the demand
is always in excess of the supply,
and because of this fact a number of
the larger breeders are doubling
their stock and rearing capacity.
An interesting talk was made by
Harry H. Colpitts, of Binghamton, N.
Y., on fur farming. During the past
nineteen years he has operated one
of the largest silver fox ranches in
the country and what he said on the
subject was quite interesting. The
next meeting of the association will
be held in Lock Haven on March
29th and already several interesting
speakers have been booked for that
