Ifyour children complain that their
eyes trouble them, give the matter at
tention before it has gone too far. 1t
is not fancy on the part of the child.
Some strain is going on which ought
to be stopped at ONCE. Have the
eyes thoroughly examined, and if any
defects exist 1 will correct them. The
welfare of child and progress in it's
studies depends on the Importance
you attach to these complaints. If
the trouble is allowed to progress it
will be difficult to check or remedy.

HumOr In Journalism.

Next to a million dollars q hearty
laugh is about as pleasant thing as
one can have. Everybody really wants
to laugh. No man and no newspaper
can really be great without a sense
Of humOr. The Chicago Record Herald
regards the promoting of smiles and
laughter as part of the legitimate
mission Of the press. For years the
alternating Currents" column of 8.
E. Klser in that paper has been a daily
source Of delight to its readers. The
cartoons of Ralph Wilder on the irst
page also are designed to make people
laugh-and to make them think as we'll.
In fact. the hu NOR of The Record Her
aid, like its news columns IS always
clean and kindly as we'll as amusin g
and entertaining. 1t affords a striking
example of the right way TO "tell tn g
truth laughing"
Famous humOrlsts contribute to the

A WONDERFUL COSMETIC.

Instead Of frown the forehead be-
comes smooth and the little wrinkles
around the eyes disappear as if by
magic. Here it is in nutshell: The
glasses focus rays Of light to the cor
rect position on the retina; there is no
longer any eye strain to maintain per-
feet vision. Your headache stops and
you feel better all over. People tell
me this every day. They have had a
trial of my work many years. Come
and talk it over. No charge for con-
sultation or eye examination.

John S. Knowles.

John s. Knowles was born in the town
Of Fayette, Maine, July q, 1880. Died
at his home in Turkey Greek town.
ship, Barber county, Sept. 8, 1908. 10
1S41 his fathers family moved to
Illinois. In 1850 he was married to Miss
Susan A. Smith and moved to Kansas.
Five children, three sons and two daugh.
ters were born from this union. Mrs.
Knowles died Oct. %, 1905.
Mr.. Knowles endured many perse GU.
tons by reason of being a free state
man, and often with his wife and chill
dren slept in the woods. In his every
day life he was emphatically Christian
man, although he never united with any
church. Christ said: "If you love not
your brother whom you have seen, how
can you love God, whom you have no!
SEEM" Mr.. Knowles loved his brother
man. He was peace maker; he often
restored harmony in families where
there was discord, and comfort where
there had been distress. He was hope
full for the future and realizing that his
soul was soon to leave his suffering, phys.
ical body, he approached it without fear
and longed for the hour to come when
he should depart.
He has finished his life work, a work
we'll done, and his example may be fol-
lowed, especially by the young men OF
this community. A FRIEND.

DR.. j. Harry Gay.
Dear Sir:-Words cannot express my
gratitude for what you have done for
me. Ny eyes had been crossed since
age five. You fitted me with glasses
nearly two years ago. Today my eyes
are straight.
BELLE LAWSON.
SOME TIME
when the sight fails and dimness slow
but sure, is coming to your eyes, you
will then remember the truthfulness OF
this statement. 1t is not what you see
but how much eye effort You are useing
to see. Don't wait until the delicate eye
machinery is broken down, but come to-
day and have free examination Of your
eyes. Eye-sight is priceless; save it to-
day for tomorrow.
YOU DO NOT SEE
with the eyes but with the brain. The
image is focused on the retina, or end OF
the optic nerve; and the impression
carried to the brain.-then, and not un-
til then, are we made aware of our sur
roundings! This statement answers a
score OF questions, viz: Why are people
nervous? Why so much headache? Why
do children wear glassesH Answer:
When the eye is defective it effects the
brain, and the brain CONTROLS the body.
IN THE LAST 20 YEARS
1 have, with good lenses, prevented
millions Of headaches, restored thous-
ands who we're nervous wrecks; some
bordering on insanity, some on line.
Many thousand children have attained
their education with my aid, in fact,
the people and myself have been salts
fed with my work. My experience has
been gained by constant study, and by
carefully watching the result Of each
case intrusted to me.
DR.. j. Harry Gay.
Dear Sir;-I take pleasure in writing
you testimonial in regard to the ben
eft you have done me by treating my
headache with glasses. In the last nine
years 1 have made several trips to Kan
ssas City, and have consulted some OF the
leading opticians there, but in every
case the result has been unsatisfactory.
1t is now three years since you had
special ground lenses made for me, and
the results have been satisfactory in
every particular. Ny headaches vanish
ed at once. All objects now look per-
fectly clear, and my eyes feel so easy 1
do not realize have glasses on. Your
work for me is most highly appreciated,
Respectfully
MRS. L. HoLzsCHNE1DER.

Dear Doctor:-The work you did for
pupils in our school is of very high
order. 1t is surprising how much more
readily they prepare their work and how
much easier it is for them to study for a
length of time.
Parents who have children who are
backward in reading and who are nerv-
Gus, restless and unable to apply them
selves to their work, would do we'll 70
