BELIEF IN AN ERA OF PEACE
Natlonll of the World Likely to est
for Some Time.
Wo are optimist enough to believe ,
as even the pessimist hopcs , that an
ern of peace is at hand. Some , in.
deed , contend that Its advent. would
be assured by some International
agreement to reduce armaments.
There seems , however , far stronger
ground for holdIng that mischief
would arise out of an International
discussion on the subject than for ex.
pectlng that it would hasten the mil.

the trustiest custodian of peace. It

the strongest guarantee against reek-

modern conditions the victor must bo
prepared to contemplate years of

probable penalties of the vanqusl.ed. !

Proper Use of Spectacles ,
Spectacles , according to an oculist ,
often Increase the eye tr9ublo they
are meant to correct because they are
improperly used. "Tho man who
needs glasses to read by , but not to
see at 11. distance , often puts them on
in 11 street car or similar IJlaco , " says
thIs oculist , "and then wilen ho looks
up stili uses them for lookIng at
things a little way off. 'fhls gradually
changes the focus of the eye , so that
ho comes finally to see better with
them than without them. Then ho
needs stronger glasses to read with ,
and the trouble gets worse and worso.
Ono way to avoid this Is to wear the
