Litheran Pastor. ... i Can't Bee" As well as I could, is the complaint you hear, not onlv from older people but .from the young as well. Age is no cri terion for the wearing of glasses. Many are born with greater detectB then come with age. Young people inherit and cultivate defects by Strain or abuse. Young, old or middle-aged, if you are not getting the service from your eyes that yon think you sbonld, you ought certainly. ascertain the nature of your trouble. - The Dalles, Or., June 9, '98. Prof. P. G. Daut, . Dear Sir: It affords me the greatest of pleasures to inform yon that the glasses which you fitted to my eyes are giving perfect satisfaction.

The Dalles, Or.,'Aprir 14, '98. I wish to add my testimony, "and - will - eay to those concerned that my daugh ter had been troubled with her eyes for the past few years, and had been fitted ' by different so-called doctors with blue tint glasses, her eyes getting constantly worse until she was compelled to wear glass at all times. I finally called on Prof. P. G. Daut, the optician, and he fitted her, saying that she must only wear them half the time and while read- ' ing or etudying. , His directions were followed, and now she only weara tbem a few hours each day and her eyeslook natural. The vision is good again.-Tht-professor can handle a child better than any optician I have ever seen, and I can recommend him to any parent whose chiiflren's eyes are effected. Respectfully, - ' '.''.. Mrs. Anna Nichols.' The Dalles, Or., Aog. 29, '98. To all whom it may concern : Several months ago Prof. P. G. Daut, of the Daut Optical Co., gave my eyes G. DAUT G. Dam, who has been in The Dalles as the professor uses for the detection the verv best known. He has inanv tes such a test as no other optician has given them before, and his classes which I am now wearing are giving me thorough satisfaction.

Has perpetual oniBon, but everyday eyes cannot always be depended upon. Don't neglect them ; you can't afford it. . I give you the moBt exacting examin ations that will leave no defect uncor rected. . . No glasses can give more comfort, and in very few cases as much, becauee my lenses are absolutely conect. I don't fit by guesswork. I have been' properly taught, beside? having - bad years of experience. The Dalles, July 25, '98. Prof. P. G. Daut, Optician : With pleasure I write to' express my gratitude for the glasses you fitted for me last May. They are very satisfac tory. I can see far and hear with tbem better than any I have ever tried. -It is really, wonderful how good I can see with them and how little I could see without them. I wear the glasses continually, andean see to read, sew and do any thing I have to do. I like tbem very well. - Martha A. Stone. .'.T- Fit Like a Coat. . "The need of having glasses that fit the eye like a coat fits the back ; the need of accurate lenses properly cen tered to the gfass, all are absolutely nec essary for tte preservation of the most precious of all senses, the sight. We have no old fogy ideas, but adapt the latest and best metbeds in our fitting- ana examinations. JSo charge for the latter. . V -- The Dalles, Or., May 14, '98. To the Public: The undersigned . wishes to state to the public that my eyes were so affected that it was impossible for me to read tbe papers, even the large head lines, and especially of evenings I was like a blind man. I bad to feel my way and was unable to see anything or any body. It seemed. as if a dark wall would rise up and shut off everything, so I con cluded to call on Prof. Dant, the opti cian. After consulting him be told me if I followed bis instructions he could bring my eyes out all O.K. I finally consented, and within three months, with his lenses, I am able to read my papers and-can now see of evenings with out glasses. He is without doubt a thorough doctor of refractions, and I can not Bay too much for him as an able op tician. Anyone troubled with their eyes will do well to see him. - -- r Very respectfully, . E.

Many people, even in our own enligbt ened America, are willing to sacrifice themselves and their children to the prejudice of "rhat pesple say."

HOW THE CHILD ..SUFFERS. Should Have a Thorough Examination on Kuteriug School.' Speaking on the subject of children's eyes: A great m?ny children are sent to school with eye defects which demand great expenditure of nervous forces in order fir them to keep up with those who enter on the same work with natural, eyes. - The same children are often c ussed as idle or stupid, when in reality their mental condition may be just as keen as their classmates, trie failure to keep pace being entirely, due to defective vision, in some cases by virtue of great persistence, they succeed in keeping abreast of their more fortunate com panions ; but this task , is accomplished at the expense of vital energies which often lavs the foundation -f future disease. " It is not . uncommon --and cer tainly not improper to have the first teeth of children fonr of five vears of age filled instead of extracted ; while the eye, the most intellectual, tbe most ap nrehensive and the most discriminating of all our organs, receives scarcely a pas sing thought, much less an examination It seems never to occur to some par ents that the principal agent in requir ing an education is the eye. The child is placed in school without the Blighest inquiry on the part of either parent or teacher, as to whether it has the normal amount of sight, whether it be near sighted-or far sighted, whether it be clear or blurred, whether it sees with one eve or two eyes, or whether the act of vision is "accomplished at the ex pense of an . unnatural strain, upon tbe nervous system -- It would be a boom to the . children that attend our. public schools if the I board of education 'would enact a regu lation which wonld require a certificate from some competent doctor of refrac tion, one who has graduated from some good optical college or school, who had found them to be -normal or bad cor reeled the eve to be normal. But I realise- that such a radical measure would meet with much opposi tion and might possibly defeat the very end It was intended to -accomplish. - A careful study, of the subject of children's eyes leads me to suggest to the, teachers cKthe schools making. a test of each pupil's vision. or mat use l wi:i gladly furnish charts and instructions to find ont the errors ot each pupil's eyes, which might lead to the discovery why pupils have been kehind in . their studies. If a child; whose vision is but wtak and with proper glasses will help it to outgrow its defected vision . and use them while young, will probably in nine cases out of ten, have no use tor glasses after a few months, or perhaps for study ing only. Only those who nave been relieved by the use of glasses understand what bear ing the condition - of the eye has on general health. There are children to day sick because of eye-strain. : Their illness mav be attributed to otbercanses, but they go along sick nnt.l the true cause be discovered by the exercise of good common sense on. the part of par ents. ' If vonr child complains of the eyes",, see what the trouble is. Take her to an optician ; one who understands nis work, not a roan who simply hangs oat sign, Glasses for bale", but to an optician. I will be glad to examine any case of eyes, and if you-need glasses I will tell vou so, if not, x win ten you so. It costs yon nothing to find out. Ex amination free. P. G. DADT, .
