SCIENTIFIC
EYE TESTING

The modern Optometerist examines
the eyes carefully with the aid OF prop
er instruments and prescribes lenses
for all defects Of vision.
In case the eyes are found diseased
the patient is sent to the Oculist twho
makes surgery and diseased eyes his
speciality.
Optometry is distinct profession,
and the Optometrist Who devotes his
entire time to his profession Is moro
successful than the Oculist who devotes
q small part of his time.
The modern Optometrist charges for
his professional skill and time either
directly or indirectly (but more about
this next time).
When you consider that you can
have your eyes fitted at little cost at
home by one that has The scientific
training you can hardly afford TO
trife or take chances with your eyes
by trying to fit yourself.

AFTER GEORGE WASHINGTON.
B;H Seeks to Remove statue from

The days OF the great George Wash
ington. who has lived so long on the
east front of the Capitol. looking with
his big. round. stony eyes into the very
heart of Congress wherever that may
be- are numbered. and he may have to
move away some Of these fine days and
see his old place become a playground
for the snarIing cabmen or the rendez-
vous Of those who gaze with awe upon
the dome.
The statue Of the great President may
he removed to some other place by
the Secretary OF War and the architect
Of the Capitol-if certain bill passes
which was introduced yesterday.
BY the terms Of this bill S35 600 is 20
be appropriated for the erection of d
replica of John Quincy Adams Wards
statue Of Washington, in the front Of

Of the United States, the Speaker OF
the House Of Representatives, and the
Architect Of the Capitol.
The bill does not say where the pres
ent statue is to be placed--the Secre-
tary Of War and the Architect Of the
Capitol are to decide that.
