1t is our speciality TO fit glasses in
such a manner that they relieve the
eye strain perfectly, fitting the eye
with ease and comfort, thus preserv-
ing the eye. In examining the eye
only the latest and most improved
methods and instruments are used
Physicians especially are invited TO
call and investigate our methods of
correcting errors of refraction. Many
cases of headache, neuralgia, nerv,
business, irritabilty, insomnia. ver-
tigo, nervous proetration and the
seeming stupidity of children are
often due to defective vision caused
by an abnormal curative of the corr
nea or crystalline lens or to an irreg-
uIarity of the refraction media of the
eye, and are relieved at once by the
application of the proper glasses.
Ninety per cent of the people over
40 years of age need glasses, and 80
per cent need them for distance.
Glasses are not always given to
improve eyesight, but 70 relieve I'M
due strains; in short, to assist nature.
Thousands of eyes are ruined yearly.
Seven persons out of ten have neither
eyes alike, and one out of twenty has
astigmatism. Hence the necessity of
testing each eye separately. Special
attention is given to any inequality
that may exist between the refrac
ton of the eye.
Optical science has made rapid
advances within the past few years
the correct adoption OF spectscles
has become a distinct profession.
The optician who thoroughly under
stands his business realizes fully that
in adjusting glasses for his customers
he is treating with a most delicate
and precious organ, where the slight

RUCKMAN Bill o. K.

The legal battle over the Buchanan
bill has ended, and the supreme court
OF Florida has put quietus on the
rough house started by Lake City to
retain the State University. The
fight was an uncalled for one in the
start, as lake City had no more right
to kick than another town. But
those people were born that way,
and their kicking has brought down
the frown Of disapproval from the
entire state. Here Is what a dis
patch from Tallahassee has to say on
she subject:
Tallahassee, December 19.-The
Buckman educational bill has stood
the test before the supreme court Of
the state, and the legal fight inaugu-
rated to prevent the university from
going to Gainesville is ended.
The supreme court OF the state this
morning handed down a decision
covering so typewritten pages, in
which the bill is declared constitu
tional. The opinion IS given by Chief
Justice Shackelford. Justice Taylor
refused to take part because of local
interest in the matter.

Peddling Her Own Pups.

Many compassionate persons have
sympathzed with mother who for
several days has walked the business
districts soliciting purchasers for her
offspring. The mother is a big New.
foundland dog. She carries three hand
some puppies in basket placarded
"For Sale" and proudly marches along
the street, following the footsteps of
her owner. Her fond interest in the
puppies welfare gives pathetic touch
to the method Of her master in at.
tempting to dispose Of them.
When people stop to examine the
puppies the proud mother sets the bas-
kct down gently and caresses the trio
IL know it seems tough to have her

er to a tender-hearted onlooker, "but
they're not all for sale. I'm keeping
one for her. "-Philadelphia Record.

Little House for Old Age.

The Danish farmhouse Is commonly
built in two portions, one large and
one small, to form separate dwellings.
This is done to enable the owner to
carry out the duty custom imposes
upon him. When the farmer grows too
old or infirm to follow the pillow. or
perform a share Of the work. he hands
over the farm to one Of his sons, under
IN arrangement which provides for the
maintenance of himself and his wife
during their remaining years, and the
old couple take up their quarters in the
smaller dwelling. The curious feature
Of this arrangement is that If the son
sell the farm. the purchaser must take
over the duty Of supporting the old
people. who remain on. This custom
has arisen out of the isolated charac-
ter Of the farms in Jutland; 1t has
sometimes led to the commission Of
horrible crimes, the old people having
been poisoned by new owner to save
the cost Of their maintenance.

Protective Associations Help to Battle

protective influence exerted by the
trade association is that of educa ting
It's members against the swindles by
which the followers Of almost every
occupation or calling are victimized. 1t
Is recognized fact that swindlers and
confidence men ply their craft along
routine lines-in other words, they
move from place to place and work
men in the same general line Of bust
ness.
Recently grain buyer in Western
town was victimized in this manner
Like all other local elevator men. he
followed the practice Of advancing to
the farmers Of his locality a reasonable
sum or money against the grain which
they would soon market One day two
farmers hailing from rather. remote
locality with which he was not partic-
ularly familiar came to him and asked
for an advance upon the crops they
were then cutting. The men appeared
to have met by accident at the elevator
and claimed to know each other only
casually, saying that their farms were
some five or six miles apart.
AS these men We're dressed in over
alls and hickory shirts, their faces and
arms being well Drowned by the sun,
the grain buyer naturally concluded
that they were genuine farmers, and
after asking them few questions as
to their acreage, gave them the cash
advance on their crops which they
asked.
Later the elevator man learned to
his sorrow that they were a pair OF
| clever confidence men carefully made
up" in farmer style. They had con-
sistently worked" the grain buyers of
that region, being careful, however. to
keep out Of the territory covered by
the organization. The campaign OF
swindling could not have been sue
cessfully prosecuted among buyers
who belonged to an association, as
their first swindle would have been
promptly reported to every member of
the organization and efforts for the ar
rest and prosecution Of the confidence
men would have been made at once.

The talents you are sure to need

You've got to have a winning way,
And prove with gentle art
That when their cash to you men pay
It's kindness on your part.
You've got to know just when to so
Across the briny deep.
And when it's time you have to show
Strange secrets you must keep.
And though tits hard. you must allow.

IT'S harder, many people vow.
To give the stuff away.
