Kodaking is almost as expensive
as automobiling. Yet some folks try
to save money by hunting up cheap
place to get their Kodak work fin

Perhaps it never occurred to you
that a defect in the sight is not as
rule a disease of the eye. So often
it is 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

MEANT FOR TRIFLES
OLD FASHIONED "PINcH" BAG
MOST CONVENIENT.
Buttons, Needles and the Little Odds
and Ends Of the Sewing Room
Kept at Hand in This
Receptacle.

For holding a few buttons, paper
OF needles and spool Of thread or
two there is nothing in the way OF
bag that is more convenient that the
old-fashioned pinch" kind. 1t is large
enough to serve as an ordinary travel
ing work bag and there are no draw
ing strings or ribbons to be bothered
with. Nothing could be simpler than
the fat mouth which closes itself and
Is pinched open.
The pinch" bag derives its name
from this opening, which is fitted with
two short, stiff whalebones. Ribbon
is best to make the bag of. When silk
by the yard is used seams must be
turned and there is always more or
less trouble in giving them neat
finish inside. Take quarter Of yard
OF plain or lowered ribbon about three
inches in width, or wider If liked, and
trim both ends evenly. Flowered rib

rarity, even on the bargain counter,

with dainty floral patterns and mar.

pink flowers and blue satin edge
makes a dainty bag.
After the ends are evened turn them

some of the fashionable ball gowns

OHIO GRANGE RESOLUTIONS
Big Bunch to Be Presented at Thirty.
sixth Annual Session.

Columbus, o., Dec 9.-Among reso-
lutions that will be introduced We'd
nesday at the thirty-siXth annual ses
condemning members of the legisla,
ture who participated in an allowance
of excess mileage. The resolution re-
cites that 1t was only through mis-
take in the enactment of the law that
the unreasonably large mileage allow
ance was provided and then severely
eriticizes those members who drew
the full amount.
1t is believed the question of adopt
ing the resolution will provoke con-
siderable discussion. Other resolu-
tions will be against any movement
for the repeal of the county local op'
tion law; recommending a short
course in agricultural colleges and
universities; tavoring woman's sun
rage; asking foI state appropriation
for the control Of diseases of animals (;
for the protection of quail and rab-
bits; in support of Secretary Calvert
of the state department of agriculture
in his fight for better commercial fer
tilizers; for parcels post and postal
savings bank; for en- interchange OF
service between rural telephone com
panies in the same, county; for state
and federal aid in highway building
and repairs; for the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people. A resolution fer a state pro
hibition law has been sent in by one
of the county oranges. but may not bs
