Many others may not understand that a considerable degrée of the vision they do enjoy is gained by an effort through nerve exhausting eye- strain and so at the expense of var- ious organs depriving the eyes of the normal energy required to keep them in proper function. Under these con- ditions health and normal vision are impossible and many ailments: may develop, It would undoubtedly be for the best interests of humanity if all eyes were normal, but since so many are de- ficient, we therefore suggest that the country charge at Epsom, later he a modest. estimate of his auditors. {ciency--and a man with a heart of eyes of man, woman and child be given the very best of care, The profession of Optometry offers] to the publie, service of walue and of special interest in the conservation of vision, The eyes invariably give Aadiing when there is something wrong and we are therefore well advised to have them" properly examined and looked after when they cause trouble, { TE " REV. CROSSLEY HUNTER } LEAVES TORONTO SOON (Toronto Daily Star) Rev. E. Crossley Hunter, whose whole ministry has been spent in the Toronto conference thus far, is short- ly to leave Toronto and the pastorate of Carleton St. United Church. Mr. Hunter announced last week to the board of his present church that he has finally decided to accept the offered - pastorate . of First United Church, Hamilton. 'This is a great and important post this .church being the largest audi- torium.

Hunter (Crosley and Hunter), graduated as ,BA., from To- ronto University in 1911, in theology in 1913. His first pastorate was a was associated with Rev. Peter Bryce at Farlscourt, later still at North Bay and from there transferred to Carlton St, in 19256, He thus completes nine years there, Mr, Hunter took over Carlton St. when the Board had recommended that it be closed yp. He has resusci- tated and consolidated it till now he has been preaching, on Sunday even- ings, to probably the largest church audience in Toronto, 1800 often being Mr, Hunter is a preacher of un- usual power, a pastor of unwearied devotion, a curler of mercurial effi- gold.

Such carcasses come from cattle weighing 960 to 1050 pounds, with a top of 1100 pounds. This covers butcher cattle, steers and heifers. In the fed calf and yearling class, the weight most in demand is 350 to 450 pounds, being from fed calves weighing from 600 to 800 pounds live, sufficiently finished to be eligible for Red or Blue Brand Beef. .. There is also a limited demand for weighty steer carcasses, from 600 to 700 pounds, to take care of the de- mand fof more mature beef, and for supplying institutions. These should come from steers weighing 1100 to 1200 pounds. 'There appears to be a vast number of beef carcasses moving into retail channels, of desirable weight bat without sufficient finish for govern- ment grading. These carcasses are coming from all classes of live cattle, and it would seem that this condition is die to lack of breeding or feeding.
