"Eyestrain Disturbances of Human Machine"
(From the Itovlew of Itovlowg.)
"High authority asserts that probably one-fourth of all
the educated people In America suffer from various kinds
of disturbances more or less due to eyestrain." Strange
though It may seem, eyestrain Is capable of disturbing our
whole organism, because of the rellex 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 the 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 the children In the upper grades of the ele
mentary schools have eyes that rather seriously need correction."

Mutual Building & Loan Assn.
OF NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA.
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 $1.10 per month on each '$100.00 borrowed,
making the monthly payment the same 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 payment to this association on 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
would if they were doing the business with this Association.
