There are SO many people in this en-

thought to the most important feature
of the human body--our syes--and yet
we would rather dispense with all 9th

pie are thoughtless enough to consult

their eyes are failing and never realize
the danger OF the result till their eyes
are injured beyond redress. DR.. p.

monials from persons in Madison and
adjoining counties, who had lost all
hopes of ever being able to obtain suit
able glasses after having tempered
with those who call themselves opti-
clans and jewelers., who pretend they
can do just as well as an oculist, who
in reality know nothing at all about
eyes or glasses. For the benefit of
those who have been deceived and lost

and H. A. Clearwater, superintendent Of

One asks that the age OF consent be raised
to eighteen years, .'and to extend the
law 10 tile Territories, so bringing the ma
tional law up to the standard OF the most
advanced States which protect the purity
not less than the property of our girls"
Another asks for legislation to enfore
compulsory education. The third prays
for the enactment OF a Sunday rest law.
REGULATE STORAGE.
The bill to regulate the business OF storage
In the District was taken up in the House
and the report of the committee read.
Mr.. Curtis briefly explained the pro-
visions of the bill.
MIR. Baker offered q number Of minor
amendments, which were accepted by the
committee, and several which were voted
down and the bill passed.
This completed the list Of those District
bills ready for consideration today. The
floor was yielded, and the contested cleo
ton case of Van Horn VS.. Tarsney taken up.
Mr.. Meredith has introduced in the House
the same bill offered in the last Congress
to increase the salaries OF police station
clerks In the District to $40 per month.
A motion to favorably report the bill
providing salaried compensation for the
clerk of the court of appeals was today
voted down by the House Judiciary Com
mittee.
This practically kills the bill, although 1t
may again come up for consideration at
some future time.
