Sight Controlled in Brain Research Constantly Aiding Visual Needs Optometrical research has proven that good vision is as much a matter of brain patterns as of eye defect. Normally sight follows an age-old pattern of nerve stimuli and any disturbance of that pattern brings visual perception problems. To illustrate, it is common knowledge that a person has a dominant eye. Usually they are on the same side as the dominant hand. Why has the practice of forcing every child to write with his right hand been discontinued? Because it disturbs a brain pattern. If his left hand wants to do things it is naturally the dominant one, therefore, the left eye is likely dominant. Forcing a child to use his right hand to do things natural to the left one, can, and has produced extreme nervousness; has caused stammering and a slowing up of the mental process. Now-a-days few children are hampered by having that particular brain pattern interfered with and Optometry recognizes that fact. Modern Optometry is not concerned with making the public "glasses conscious," but it is most interested in making every home "sight conscious." In case the eyes show an actual error of focus, lenses should be prescribed. In the majority of cases, however, "a stitch in time" is as true of vision as of runs in stockings. Optoemtry is the science of sight and today's knowledge and examination technique is the result of today's need. Lenses when needed, are but the means which enable one to keep up with the parade. How much better to be able to follow with no handicap. Preventative Optometry, with the co-operation of parents in watchfulness of the eyes, is greatly improving the problems of civilization and eyesight. ---V- God gives every bird its food-- but He does not throw it into the nest.--J. G. Holland. YOUR OWN CATTLE CHOP Grind your grain and make it go farther -- from 10 per cent to 40 per cent of it passes through the animals undigested, UNLESS IT IS GROUND. Save this waste by grinding. Your cows will give you 15.4 per cent more milk, on the average, when fed a medium finely ground grain ration as compared to an equal weight of whole grain.
