A Difference.

Probably ninety per cent of the
people who consult me have eyes that
are unlike. Sometimes one eye is near
sighted and the other is far sighted.
Sometimes one eye is perfectly normal
while the other is very defective. In
other cases there is only slight differ
ence. 1t is bad policy to attempt to
select glasses in pairs. They may fit
one eye perfectly and at the same time
make the other eye worse. You cannot
afford to take chances in this way.
You should have each eye tested separ-
ately and fitted with the lenses that it
requires, in that way both eyes are
preserved and placed under the best
possible conditions. will examine
your eyes at any time Free of Charge.

The smelting trust organized last spring owns twenty-three plants, nine of which are in Col Orado. No Pacific coast Smelter is in the combine, declining any overtures thereto. The trust has outstanding $27, 400, GOO each common and preferred stock. The output since the consolida- ton has been curtailed by strike of emyloyes.

to tell what their idea of the market is, and hard, therefore, to say what the market will be. But, as l say, even at these prices, copper is selling cheap. Steel rails, for instance, have doubled in price during the last year. If copper had gone up approximately it would be sell ing at A cents. The demand is good both abroad and here, and is likely to increase when the money markets are settled. The consumption this year will, I think, be the largest in the his tory of the country-larger even than last year which was a rec cord breaker. I may add in con clusion that I think it is the aim of the larger producers not to put copper to a price that will limit it's use, but to produce as much of it as possible and sell it-not keep it. It is worth no- ticing that there is no instance in the history of the copper bus mess where the mines have been shut down to limit production and increase price.
