One of the worst is procrastination. Most of us detest doing today what by any hook or crook we can do two days hence. Life is a constant battle with time. The old gen tleman with the scythe never tires and he's not particular where he strikes. He eventually gets us in the eyes arid they are one of our most vital parts. It may be in the, second round or it may -be in the nineteenth but he seldom fails. If we are even to approach success, we can't lose sight of the minutes, for Father Time is a fast worker. To do this, we must have our eyes in the best of condition always. So let's not procrastinate. If our eyes bother us, let's have them exam ined, immediately. Contrary to our lazy idea that it's easier to do a thing next week than to do it now, it is really more difficult. The thing post poned becomes an accumulation of things, and requires more effort. Same with our eyes. Father Time may be batting you in the eye and you haven't discovered it yet. A few minutes spenfwith us and we will set you right. If we can help . you, we will be pleased to do so. If we can't, we will be pleased to tell you so. Whichever you think it is, don't put off finding out. Now is the time. ; - - -a E. W.
