Tie Unton Sign0l tcrsely says that Pro-
hibition rests on three argnnents--any-
one of them sufficient; namely, the
economic argument-we can't afford the
saloon; the moral argument-the ruin of
character caused by drink; the political
argument-the domination Of the saloon in
politics. Which reminds MS that all such
instruments astelescopes, microscopes, ETC.,
are mounted on three legs in order that
they may stand solid and steady on any
sort of surface, even the most uneven.

There are a great number of diseases

Having for several years past
been engaged with Queen & Co,
the welEknown opticians, OF
Philadelphia, and gained prac-
teal experience in all that per-
tains to the proper adjustment
of spectacles and eye glasses, j
shall give special attention to
that branch of our business.
The time has passed when
people will be satisfied with
glasses fitted in a sort of hap
hazard manner. They have
learned that when there is any
defect in that sensitive organ,
the eye, that it should be ex-
amined with the utmost care,
and if glasses are necessary they
should be fitted by a skilled OPP
tician. We are prepared to
meet this demand by giving Gus
toners in every case a thorough
test Of each eye on the latest
scientific principles, and give
such glasses that will best cor
rect the optical defect.
If upon examination we find it
best for the customer to see a
physician, we always advise
them to do SO, as there are
many complicated cases that re-
quire attention of an oculist.
We take great care that the
frames. as well as the glasses, of
spectacles and Eyeglasses fit
properly, as it is impossible to
get the best results from a poor
~ fitted spectacle frame.
The latest Improvement in
style and form of spectacles and
eyeglasses will be added, giving
customers every advantage that
could be obtained in New York
or Philadelphia. Prescriptions
for glasses carefully attended
to.
We have lately added new
machinery for the grinding of
spherical and cylindrical lenses,
and hereafter will be enabled to
do our own work, and much
sooner than if we had to send it
away, and at the same time at
lower prices than heretofore
charged for such work.
If your glasses are bert, or
do not fit comfortably, call, tand
it will give us pleasure to adjust
them.

We need to make our young men recog-
nize through every fibre of their being that
drunkenness is a disgrace. AS one means
of creating such sentiment am in favor
of the women of the country introducing a
bill into every Legislature asking that per-

who make the laws which so vitality affect

There is nothing more encouraging
than the growing conviction on the part
of the great mass of employers that they
can have nothing to do with men who
drink Intoxicating liquors even in mod
Grafton. They don't look at it in many
cases from a moral point of view, but
simply from matter of business. They
know that those employed in certain occu-
pations must above all things be reliable,
with all their wits about them, and their
nerves like steel. Drinking even mod
erately is incompatible with this. One
extra glass has often made man reckless
who in the ordinary sense was perfectly
sober. Hence all the great railway cor
porations are getting to insist upon their
employees being not only sober men, but
men who do not NEEDLE at all with intoX-
icating beverages. man drinking even
the smallest quantity of liquor when on
duty would, if found out, be instantly dis
missed on almost every railway on the con-

CHECKING CRUELTY.
Tho y. II. Cs G. and =. II. @. As Join
Forces in Their Work.

The work of the Delaware Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, rs
we'll as that for the protection of animals,
bids fair to be actively prosecuted during
the fall and winter. The managers of the
S. P. O. @. have decided (by the appoint
ment of q committee for this purpose at
their meeting Thursday evening" to join
with the S. p. G. A. in securing the ser
vices of a common agent and the renting
of I'LL office together.
This move is preliminary to others in
the direction of more vigorous efforts for
the suppression of cruelty both to
children and animals throug ghout the State.
The interest and cooperation of the
people is alone needed to enable the
societies to accomplish vast amount of
good for the cause of the neglected and
distressed.
This will be hard winter upon the
poor and there will be plenty of work to
keep both of these excellent societies busy
until next summer.
1t is to be hoped that all who are
humanely disposed and who feel sym
pathy for the unfortunate will personally
give this important matter their Intention.
