Emphasizing the urgent need
for parental supervision of all
phases of child health, Dr. Geo.
W. Cox, State Health Officer
said today, “Much of the impair-
ed eyesight of advanced years
could be prevented if sufficient
interest in early life were ap-
plied and a correction by means
of temporary glasses made when
required.”
Parents, Dr. Cox asserted,
should be watchful, for danger
signals in the child such as frown-
ing, squinting, persistent head-
ache, eyeache, and watery eyes.
If the youngster reads too close-
ly or too far away from the face,
that situation may also be signi-
ficant of trouble.
“No child likes wearing glasses,
nevertheless, it is the obligation
of those responsible for the fu-
ture of young folks to have their
eyes examined by a reputable
specialist if there is a suspicion
that normal vision does not exist.
It is much better for a child to
wear glasses for a few years dur-
ing early school life than to have
permanently defective vision in
later life,” he delcared.
Dr. Cox said that neglect of
the eyes is by no means limited
to children. Many older persons,
some through vanity, indifference,
or carelessness, fail to give pro-
per 'attention to the care of their
eyes. Penalties, he warned are
bound to occur for such inexcus-
able negligence.
“The eyes of any person,
whether young, middle-aged, or
older represent one of the most
priceless of bodily possessions,”
the State Health Officer assert-
ed. “To take care of them prompt-
ly is a responsibility which never
should be sidestepped.

Deficits and Inflation
Cussing the OPA has been a national pasting. Even though
it has been modified it receives few kind words. All of which
is natural in a country that dislikes dictation of any kind. The
only hitch is the inconsistency in the reasoning of many of
OPA’s violent critics. They forget that the thing that made the
OPA in the first place was uncontrolled government deficits.
Deficits year after year have cheapened our money. OPA was
hired to soften the inevitable blow. Its original purpose was to
prevent economic disruption of the war effort. After the war
it indulged in every cheap, punitive trick imaginable to
hide the effects of ncreased cost of production and rising
prices. But it could no more stem the tide than it could freeze
the rising of the sun each morning—because the public debt
continues to increase to this day.
Many of the people who belabor the OPA most viciously
are the very ones who applaud when the Federal government
builds a hundred-million-dollar electric power dam or indulges
in some other useless project which puts a few more names on
the public payroll. Members of Congress actually brag, while
the country staggers under unprecedented debt, of the public
money that they have secured for their districts. They brag of
their part in undermining the solvency of the Federal govern-
ment, and are re-elected by the OPA haters for their achieve-
mests!
As long as the public debt continues to rise there will be
terrific pressure for liberty and the American type of repres-
entative government. Finally if the deficits continue, this
country will have what has come to be known as European in-
flation, in spite of the factj that we think we are too big and
too smart to permit such foolishness.

Foy Curry wants to help the
unfortunate West Texans who
are victims of an error made
in printing Ration Books. Some
of the No. 4 Ration Books which
were issued in West Texas con-
tains an error in Spare Stamp
No. 51 which is currently good
for five pounds of sugar. The
“I” did not print and the stamp
appears as Spare No. 5 which,
of course, is worthless.
Unhappy citizens holding such
Ration Books, may fill out an
application for a replacement.

Man Had Brick In His
Stomach for 10 Years
One man recently stated that
for 10 years he felt like he had
a brick in his stomach. This feel-
ing was due to the lump of un-
digested food he always had in-
side of him. He was weak, worn
out, headachy, swollen with gas
and terrible constipated. Recently
he started taking INNER-AID
and says the feeling like a brick
in his stomach disappeared the
second day. Bowels are regular
now, gas and headaches are gone
and he feels like a new man.
INNER-AID contains 12 Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable peo-
ple soon feel different all over.
So don’t go on suffering! Get
INNER-AID. Sold by all drug
stores here in Cottle County.
