"Eyestrain Disturbances of Human Machine"
(From tho Review of Reviews.)
"High authority assorts that probably one-fourth of all
the educated people in America suffer from various kinds
of disturbances more or less tlue to eyestrain." Strange
though it may seem, eyestrain is capable of disturbing our
whole organism, because of the reflex relation between
eyes and the vital parts of the human machine. Constant
exhaustion and strain of these vital centers will frequent
ly cause disturbances of tho most extensive character. This
follows because the strain of civilization rests heavier up
on the eyes than upon any other organ. School life is re
sponsible for deformities of the eye, and approximately,
one-third of all tho children in the upper grades of the ele
mentary schools have eyes that rather seriously need cor
rection." C. S. CLINTON,

Mutual Building & Loan Assn.

ASSETS $840,000.00
To Prospective Building & Loan Borrowers;
Non-resident Building & Loan Companies are adver
tising the fact that they have reduced the monthly payments-,
of borrowers to SI. 10 per month on each $100.00 borrowed,'"
making the monthly payment the same as the Mutual Build
ing & Loan Association of North Platte. They fail to state
that of the $1.10 paid to the non-resident company, there is',
only thirty-five cents credited as a principal payment, the
balance seventy-five 'cents being taken for interest. Of the'
.$1.10.monthly-payment4o.this-associationJ.Qn.each. $100.00.
borrowed sixty cents is for interest and fifty cents is credited
as a principal payment.
This difference in the amount credited the borrower
will result in the borrower in the non-resident company be
ing compelled to pay not less than $25.00 more on each
$100.00 borrowed in order to discharge the debt than they
wotrld if they were doing the business with this Association.
