have been afflicted for FIVE years.. being
troubled with double vision. This gave
us much alarm, as she had been given
up by three doctors, with the advice to
keep her out of school and away from
books. After you fitted her with lensez,
three months ago, in less than month
she felt an improvement in her eyes,
and they now have the appearance of a
perfect eye and the vision is good. She
does not wear the glasses only about a

with the work and will help you when

Prof. P. G. Daut,
Dear Sir: Eight months ago took
my sister Isabel to you to undergo a
treatment of her eyes. She had been
in a critical condition for the past four
years and for two years has been unable
to attend school, alec her general health
strains. We had resorted to different
remedies but all proved failure until
you fitted her eyes, and a marked inn
provement has been noticed both in
eyes and in health ever since. To me
you have given entire satisfaction, and
shall with pleasure inform my friends
of the ability you used in your good
optical work. Yours truly,
Miss Alma Hcroux.

excellent services which you rendered
my eyes:

Seattle, Buffalo and New York, l can
not but declaim the fine judgment and
ability displayed by yourselfin obtaining
the proper corrections, and must say in
justice to you, for the benefit have de-
rived from your lenses, that never be-
fore, since requiring glasses, have my
eyes been in their present good condi-

it seems to me now, have served to hurt
my eyes. Again rendering you my
thanks and wishing you every success in
your good work, I am

Eye Helps. Eye Hurters.

Spectacles are eye helps if right, eye
hurters if wrong. Who is to know in
time to let you stop the mistakes? Not
tho average optician is spectacle seller,
for he is unable to distinguish between
optical defects and diseases. Prof. Daut
is the only graduate of disease of the
eye. He gives you thorough examina-
tion free of charge, and advises the use
of glasses only when needed. If you
don't need them, be tells You SO.

"I Can't See"

As well as could, is the complaint you
hear, not only from older people but
terlon for the wearing of glasses. Many
are born with greater detects then come
with age. Young people inherit and
cultivate defects by strain or abuse.
Young, old or mlddle-aged, if you are
not getting the service from your eyes
that you think you should, you oug ght
certainly ascertain the nature of your
trouble.

Wrong About Your Eyes.

You have been wrong in thinking you
ought to put off wearing glasses as long
as possible. This very thing is responsible
for so many eye troubles. All eyes be-
gin to fail at forty years of age; some
more than others, and when complicated
with incorrected defects, failure begins
much sooner. A correction at the right
time will save your eyes. Neglect is
bound to injure them. Attend to them
at once.

the past few years, and had been fitted
by different so-called doctors with blue
tint glasses, her eyes getting constantly
worse until she was compelled to wear
glass at all times. I finally called on
Prof. P. G. Daut, the optician, and he
fitted her, saying that she must only
wear them half the time and while read
ing or studying. His directions were

some day you will have to wear glasses.
I venture to say that when that time
comes, no glasses will give you ease and
comfort if you continue to strain your
eyes, after nature warns.
The eye is a window of your soul
don't abuse and strain it. Treat it as
you should and save money and eyes for
your life time.

If your horse needs a shoe-to a horse

If you need suit of clothes-to a
tailor or clothier.
If you need dental work-to dentist.
If you need medical attendance-to a
physician.
If you need your eyes attended to, go
to an optician for lenses.
Don't go to a man who has read all
that he knows out of a book. No man
can learn by books alone; it takes prac-
tical experience, and Prof. P. G. Daut
has had both. He guarantees satisfac-
tory results in all cases.

Many people, even in our own enlight-
ened America, are willing to sacrifice
themselves and their children to the
prejudice of "what pesple say" The
foolish prejudice against the use of eye
glasses by children often results in the
greatest suffering, and often in the per-
manent disability of one who might 9TH

two companions were compelled to
leave him and hasten home for succor,

man and was caught Tuesday night
about 1880 in front of Cusick's store
at Solomon near window, the glass
of which had been smashed in. He
had not entered the store. In fact,
it is thought by some that he simply
fell against the door, since he was
drunk at the time and perhaps did not
know what he was doing. Sufficient
evidence was produced against him,
however, to Justify binding him over
to the district court for trial. His
bond was put at $500. He failed to
give it and is in durance.
