A MAN’S PRAYER
“Teach me that 60 minutes
make an hour, 16 ounces one
pound, and 100 cents one
dollar. Help me to live that I
can lie down at night with a
clear conscience, without a
gun under my pillow and
unhaunted by those to whom
I may have brought pain.
Grant that I may earn my
meal ticket on the square,
and in earning it I may do
unto others as I would have
them do unto me. Deafen me
to the jingle of tainted money
and to the rustle of unholy
skirts. Blind me so that each
night when I look across the

Dr. Troy Saunders has got
the best horse that ever
looked through a collar. This
is putting it pretty strong but
we will stick to it until the
proof is brought against us.
We have the figures to back
us. Dolly is 21 years old, and
Dr. has been driving her
about for 16 years, and
everybody who knows him
can testify to the fact that he
hasn’t had a day to rest since
he bought Dolly. All would
join in the estimate that his
driving would average 20
miles per day. Now multiply
by 365 days and we have 7,300
miles for a year, then
multiply that by 16 years and
we have 116,800 miles. This
makes four times Dolly has
carried Dr. around the earth,
and she is now two-thirds of
the way on her fifth trip, and
we all hope to see Dolly and
Dr. again soon. Middle

What To Hold On To
Hold on to your tongue
when you are just ready to
swear, lie, speak harshly, or
do any important act. Hold
on to your foot when on the
point of kicking, running
away from duty, or pursuing
the paths of error, shame or
crime. Hold on to your
temper when you are angry,
excited, or imposed on, or
others are angry at you. Hold
on to your good name at all
times, for it is of more value
to you than gold, high places
or fashionable attire.

An Indiana farmer, like
other foolish fathers before
him, recently gave his son
and his son’s wite a deed to
his farm, on the condition of
their supporting him the rest
of his life. No sooner was it in
their possession than they
told the old gentleman to
light out for the poor house.
He begged to stay one more
night, to which they reluc
tantly agreed. In the night he
arose, got possession of the
deed, burned it and in the
morning kicked his unnatur
al children out of the house
and proceeded to disinherit
them. Middle Georgia

EYE PROBLEMS IN PETS
Many owners don’t recog
nize the basic signs of eye
trouble in their pets until
blindness or permanent eye
damage has occurred. Early
signs of eye disorders in cats
and dogs include redness and
tearing, cloudy or bluish
discoloration, excessive
blinking, and inflamed eye
lids.
Redness and a profuse
watery discharge often indi
cate that foreign material is
trapped in the eye. Your pet
might also paw at its eye,
trying to remove the irrita
tion. These signs should alert
you to closely examine your
pet.
To conduct an examina
tion. have someone hold your
pet firmly but gently, while
you carefully spread your
pet’s eyelids apart. If you
locate the foreign particle,
try to lightly lift it off the
eye’s surface with some
sterile cotton. Flushing the
eye with warm water may
also help remove the debris.
If the object is not easily
removed or seems embedded
in the eye, you need
veterinary assistance.
If you find no obvious
reason for your pet’s discom
fort. you should still visit
your veterinarian promptly.
The redness and discharge
might be from a scratched
cornea or a general eye
infection called conjunctivi
tis —an irritation caused by
pollen, bacteria or even
smog. The prompt treatment
of any eye injury is

important in preserving your
pet’s sight.
Neglected scratches or
other superficial injuries to
the surface of the eye can
result in cloudy or bluish
spots on the cornea, a thin
transparent layer on the
front of the eyeball. The spots
are the result of white blood
cells invading the cornea to
repel the infection. If the eye
is treated properly, the
infection will recede, and the
spotting will clear.
When the clouding occurs
deeper in the eye, in the lens,
it is called a cataract.
Generally thought to be a
result of aging, the cataract
may involve all or only parts
of the lens, and may be seen
by looking through the pupil
(the dark spot in the center of
the eye). Research has
perfected a technique of
cataract removal, so that the
pet can still see objects in its
path, even though it cannot
focus well. Recently cataract
have been observed in
poodles and Boston terriers
under five years old. Veteri
narians are doing research to
determine if early develop
ment of cataracts is a
hereditary trait.
A condition that is definite
ly inherited is a tendency
toward malformed eyelids.
In certain small dogs, the
lower eyelid turns in and
causes the eyelashes to brush
the cornea. Each time the
dog blinks, the cornea
becomes more irritated,
making the dog blink even
more. This excessive blink
ing is definitely a sign that
you need to visit your
veterinarian. The opposite
situation, where the eyelid
turns outward, is seen in
large dogs like the St.
Bernard. The exposed inner
lining of the eyelid is a
perfect trap for bacteria and
dust, and becomes irritated
and infected. A bit of surgery

in either case straightens the
lid and eliminates the
problem.
Although malformed eye
lids are more common in
dogs, cats share most of the
disorders I’ve mentioned.
For instance, cats can
develop glaucoma—a collec
tion of excess fluid within the
eyeball that increases pres
sure on the optic nerve,
causing blindness. To allevi
ate the situation, some pets
are given diuretic tablets
that draw excess water from
the body. Others require
surgery to create an artifi
cial outlet for the fluid.
Unfortunately, glaucoma
presents few early symptoms
in either cat or dog. By the
time the pressure causes a
noticeable bulge in the shape
of the eye, some damage has
already been done.
Some eye disorders are
symptoms of other medical
problems. Both cats and dogs
have a membrane (often
called the nictitating mem
brane or “third eyelid”) at
the inner corner of the eye
that reacts to disease
conditions in other parts of
the body, becoming inflamed
and swollen. When inflamed,
the nictitating membrane
spreads out from the corner
of the eye and can easily be
seen extending toward the
pupil. A swollen nictitating
membrane is a frequent sign
of severe worm infestation or
other digestive tract problem
in a pet that otherwise
appears to be in good health.
•As you check your pet’s
coat, his teeth, or general
condition, also look into his
eyes. You’ll be surprised at
how much they can tell you.
