{. Sapero, the eminent physician
and surgeon, who is one OF the
most successful men OF the age in
the treatment OF his specialties, the
eye, ear, nose, throat and catarrh.
For years past he has devoted his
entire time to the diseases OF these
organs and his fame has spread
from coast to coast as most able
practitioner. Nor do patients need
to be referred to strangers to learn
the truth of his ability. for right in
our own town and vicinity hum
dreds have been benefited by his
treatment. He will again be in

fortunate and unable to pay will

Consultation and examination for

An editor works 365H days per
year to get out Io4 issues OF pa

VIII Be Hers Again One Week. Jun,
,4th to ssd.

The imperial organ of the human
system is the eye. All through the
Bible God eulogizes; s34 times
does that book speak of the eye.
The eye IS one OF the organs most
liable to render life miserable
failure, a loathsome burden. Loss
OF sight is the very king of terrors.
While any impairment of vision is
source OF ghastly anxiety, of con-
slant dread, of sickening mental
worry, to say never a word of acute
physical anguish.
The defective eye always makes
itselfmanifestin in one way or another.
Headache, blurring, dizziness, in
flammation, granulation, winking,
trembling, smarting, all of which,
and many other symptoms. should
be taken as warning of approach
ing untold misery. If you have
any disease Of the eye, ear or nose,
throat and catarrh, or if you need
glasses do not fail to take this rare
opportunity to call on DR.. Kalem

IN the clouds above US the hands
of these opposing army leaders are
clasped in friendly caress while
their voices give utterance TO the
words. "What God hath joined to.
gether, let no man put asunder. "
The sentiment changed an orderly,

A new song is going the rounds
of the newspapers and it runneth
in this wise: 1--WE don't want to
buy at your place, we don't trade
there any more; you'll be sorry
when you see us trading at some
other store. You can't sell us any
stale goods, we have opened up
our eyes; we don't want to trade at
your store, cause you do not ad-
