There was a heavy fog on the lake

No man possesses more than one
pair of eyes; few possess perfect ones.
Those eyes are not only the windows
of the SOUL" but the source of very
large percentage of the material en-
joyments of this life. To neglect them
in any way, or, upon the score of

dubbed, out of misplaced, courtesy or
dense ignorance, opticians, +" is one of
the n ost criminal things man can do.

wheeling clubs, for instance, and other
similar events, there need not be an
expense incurred which could not be
easily met by a few contributions of So
and $40. The interested merchants
look at this matter from the stand
point of pride. Year after year the
citizens of Kenosha are allowed to
drift off to other places to spend their
money. They would just as readily
spend it here and celebration would
bring in many outsiders to spend their
money, also. We can have a celebra-'
