When they reached a point on the Co lumbia above the Cascades, all other members of the party were met by friends with wagons who took their household goods oter land into the Willamette TaUey. The Helmicks had no such friends in the west. Lett alone with arrangements made for a wagon to come back after them the young couple tied their raft to the rtrer bank and waited in that lonely wilderness.

In or der that you may und erstand thismore fully, we must for a moment become technical. All the physicaj ac tivities of the body are made possible only through the expendi" turij of nerve force, which is our vital mot ive power. Normal eyes, free from defects, use a con siderable portion of all the nerve force gener ated in the body, but when they are defect ive, out of focus, they use more than their al lotted portion of this vital energy, thus rob bing the other organs of their motive power and this is what causes so much mischief. We often find under such conditions that the stomach, heart, liv er and kidneys cease to do their work properly for lack of nerve force. This is what is known as reflex or "reflected" nerve trouble and mil lions of people suffer from it. Optometry, while a comparatively new profession, has fast gained recognition for the service that it is capable of rendering to fiumralry and many pTiyeicians refer cases to optometrists for op tometric service. ...QwaWfafa Uafl Today Ccl gUmped txa ftSiresaed Ere Bight ServW lfta Salens, sC The Ore foa Statesataa, Salens, Oregoa.
