But IL takes an expert who has had
years of study on the anatomy of the
eye and reflection of light to give
PERFECT SIGHT and at the same
time relieve all strain from the nerves
and muscles of the eyes. In the seven
months I have been in Savannah I
have tested and fitted glasses to over
1000 people, over half of which was
wearing glasses that did not fit, and
great many with second and third
quality lenses. Does this speak well
for our city? l think not. You do not
run any risk in getting your glasses
from us. You want them right-ex-
actly right. You are secured against
even the possibility of error.

Mango or Texas Itch Among Horses.
Prof. r. A. Craig. in newspaper
bulletin LOG, Of the Indiana Expert
ment Station. says:
This Is a disease Of horses CORE
spending to scab among sheep. II has
been reported occasionally during the
past year from various parts Of the
state The majority Of these reports
have shown the disease to be in west
ern horses recently brought TO the
state and in natives that have con
tracted the trouble from them. The
disease is due to a small parasite OF
itch mite that Affects horses only, and
the disease Is spread by the animals
coming in close contact or by being
placed in stables where affected ami
mails have been or from using harness
or blankets that have been used on
diseased animals.
The earliest symptom is the intense
itching as shown by the animal rub
bing against trees. fences. sides Of the
stall OF biting the part. Blanketing
the animal increases the irritation
The affection usually begins with some
small patch and gradually extends
over the body. II the skin be exam

reddened; there win be numerous
small elevations like pimples and the
hairs will show mating Crusts form
the hair falls out, leaving large dry
patches. In extensive infection the
skin becomes thickened and markedly
rigid The animals lose flesh and be
come generally debilitated and some
may die.
The disease responds to treatment
very promptly. Strong solutions OF
any Of the sheep dips. especially the
creolin like or coal tar preparations
as zenoleum or chloronaphtholeum. OF
the tobacco extracts will soon arrest
it. The washing should be thorough
