so to speak from poor sight to bind
ness.
Perhaps it never occurred to you
that a defect in the sight is not as
a rule a disease of the eye. So often
it is a condition which the proper
glasses will not only relieve but
many times entirely cure-sight is
restored, eyes are made strong, head
aches disappear, the nervous strain
is relieved and the eyes are saved
perhaps from blindness.
If you have eye trouble, it will
interest you to have personal talk

sugar plant at Grand Junction. the
crops in the Gunnison and Grand val

In addition to the increase per

Are you working as clerk for small salaryP If so, learn the cotton business; there is money in it for you. S2,oOO year is a small salary for a good cotton chaser. We have prepared number of classers in six weeks. who are now receiving this salary, many of these had no experience before coming tc our school We let you handle the cotton. Thousands of samples are handled daily by our pupils, besides we send them to the cotton sheds, and have them 10 see, handle, and grade the cotton from the bales, just as il comes from the farmer ~>
