1t has been decided by John ]. Fister
formerly member Of the Georgetown Cy-
Gle Club and the ex-champion American
twenty-four-hour road rider. to make his
attempt to lower the American twenty
four-hour track record September q and
22. These dates fall on Monday and Tues
day, the start being made at o'clock in
the evening of the first day and ending at
6 o'clock on the evening of the second day.
Ffster is now training hard for the test Of
endurance, and feels confident that he
will lower the record. which is said to be
4S1 miles. He will make the attempt after
only about three weeks training, which, in
the opinion of a good many people, is not
sufficient time to get him in condition. His
best road record for the time is 81 "a
miles, and he is Sanguine that he can easily
add 100 miles to this record on the track,

People having weak eyesight should
not miss this opportunity to have their
eyes properly examined and fitted. The
doctor has instruments with which he
can examine every part of the interior
OF the eyes, and tell in an instant
whether he can benefit you or not.
Many children complain of pain in the
eyes and feel unable to keep up with
their classmates in school. They un-

which if corrected will benefit them for
life. Cross eyes can be Strengthened
