They do not have headache or any of the usual symptoms of eye strain. But there distance vision is not good They find it difficult to read signs distinctly or to recognize people when they meet. This is a defective condition and should receive professional attention without de lay. While there seems to be no symptoms of overwork, the eyes are really upon a strain almost constantly. They are not in perfect focus and are com pelled to make an extra effort at all times. This effort will eventually injure the eyes and the symptoms anu irritation will appear when it Is too la'e. If you find that you do not see at a distance as well as you ought to, I want to see you. I want you to tell me all about your eyes. I will show you glasses that will make your vision clear and will advise you how to care for and pre serve your sight. I do not charge for consultation. O-GO- "V7 Hess, Optician and Jewblbr, BLOOMSBURG, PENN'A. J, Lee Martin's Optical Department. Can you afford to run any risk with your eyes ? Your eyes water; thev are pleading for glasses. Come in and ask for an ex amination'if your eyes are bothering you in any way. My methods of examining and fitting glasses to the eyes are exact. Neglected eyes means impaired vision may mean worse Little eye difficulties grow to big ones if not properly and promptly attended to. Money cannot buy better service than we give in our optical department. If you would retain unimpaired vision away on in life, use your eyes but do not abuse them. Don't buy glasses at random, as you would a paper of pins. Night work by a poor light has probably strained your eyes. My Optical room is in the rear of my Jewelry Store, Ent Building. T.
