The harm done
by eye strain
Eye strain is overtaxing muscles in order to 1
focus light rays for clear sight. The cause
is usually a defect in the shape of the eye.
The constant strain breaks down the muscles. -If
allowed to go too long, permanent harm is
done. Glasses help out the muscles by
correcting the defect. They are the only h
cure for eye strain .
Clinton's optometrist is a specialist in
detecting and correcting eye strain.

Jlndc In SelccMG Draft.
A sweeping change In tho machinery
of the Beloctlvo draft baBCd
on a division of tho nlno million re
maining registrants Into five classes
in order of their eligibility for mili
tary service has been announced by
Provost Marshal General Crowdor,
who In part says: "With the complet
ion of tho draft of the first army of
G87.000 mena now Bystom will bo In
stalled for tho creation of succccodlilg
armies, which will greatly lessen tho
labors of tho local and district boards
So far has this been accomplished
that it Is believed that under tho new
system 90 per, cent of tho work will bo
eliminated, wbllo tho forms to bo UBtid
will not exceed twenty In number as
compared with approximately 182
fomiB which the prosont system re
quires. Along with tho reduction of
labor there will bo provided a system
which will classify each ono of the
9,000,000 of men who havo not yet beon
inducted into the military, and eaah
man will havo been given his place In
the national scheme of defense
"To do this It haB been determined
to obtnln from each man complete In
formation of a character which will
definitely fix his economic worth as
compared with Ills fellow registrant,
and from tho information thus obtain
ed to placo him in ono of five classes,
each to be called In turn as the need
arises.
"Tho method of obtaining thiB in
formation is through a 'questionnaire'
a sorios of question calculated to pro
duce tho information required. This
document will be mailed to every re
gistrant to complete his questionnaire
Cully and without error. Tho local
boards will then examine each quest
ionnaire, and assign each registrant
to ono of five classes
"TheBo classos will bo based upon
ovory concelvablo condition, from tho
family or occupational standpoint,
that should properly bo advanced by a
man desiring to bo excused from mil
itary duty. Class one will bo tho first
called for physical examination and
service and when it is exhausted, if
tho nation's needs aro such as to make
it necessary, class two will follow and
thus each man registered will ulti
mately tako his placo If needed.
"Evory opportunity for appeal from
such classification by tho local board
has beon retained and perfected, but
proceedings havo beon greatly slm
pllflod."1 '

Men familiar with the material

not advance long ago. Hudson would '
have, too, but for the fact that fiui

"gs ably lower. 'Now those are nearly
