Herbert Parsons Says He Personally
Made Appeal to Taft's Prede-

NEW YORK, Nov. 24,-Theodore
Roosevelt in the latter part of his
presidential term fatty refused to con-
slider running for mayor of Greater
New York to aid the Republicans
against Tammany in the recent munic-
ipal election.
This became known today through
Herbert Parsons, president of the Re
publican county committee, who SAID
he personally had made such an appeal
to Colonel Roosevelt.
"When Mr.. Roosevelt was president,
said Mr.. Parsons, "and again shortly
before he sailed for Africa, l asked
him If he would consent to become
a candidate for mayor, but he abso-
lutely refused to have his name con-
sidered for the office. l never asked
him. however, If he would consent to
run for governor
Asked why Colonel Roosevelt had re-
fused to consider the mayoralty nolhl-
nation, Mr. Parsons said:
IL think he believed it was an onlce
that required a great deal of haru
work, a great deal of attention to de-
tails. He had just finished seven
years of arduous work in the White
House and he did not feel that we had
the right to draft him into the public
service again.
"He felt that as a private citizen nc
could still be of service TO the state
and nation"
Mr. Parsons said that he was sure
Colonel Roosevelt went away without
any thought of ever becoming United
states senator to succeed Chauneey M
Depew in 1911.

SMALL CHECKS ARE ALRIGHT,
No Truth in Report That New Law
Prohibits Checks Of Less
Than $1.OO.

Washington, Oct. There is
widespread but entirely needless
concern on the question of the legal
ity of issuing check for an amount
less than $780," says statement
given out by the treasury depart
ment. The statement adds:
THE law about which this ques-
ton was raised was passed forty
seven years ago and has been in
effect and enforced every since. In
1852 in order to raise funds for war
purposes this law was passed placing
postage stamps in general circulation
as money. 1t was important that
this device should not be interfered
with by individuals issuing notes or
checks to be used as fractional cur
rency. A clause was therefore in
serted in the law to prevent this.
"A bank check is an order on a
banker to paw particular sum of
money. 1t is not designed to be
put in circulation as substitute for
money. There is no conflict with
this ancient law in issuing checks for
any amount, however small. This has
been the construction placed upon
this law by the treasury department
from the passage of the act in 1862
down to the present moment

1t is Well to Look
After Your F,eS.
You Only Have Two and no
Doubt You Consider Them
Very Precious.

Many people have defective eyes
and do not know it, as a defective
eye sometimes causes trouble in
many different ways.
MYOPIA is an eye that is too long
or stretched so as to be defective in
refraction. 1t is either congenital
or may be acquired in children from
STOPPING over in study. 1t is pro-
gressive while the eye is young and
soft, and apt to grow worse with age,
unless properly corrected.
INTERNATIONAL is an eye that
is too short and 100 small. Rays
of light are refracted to a focus be-
hind the Retina; an imperfectly de-
veloped eye at birth, which never
, changes or improves. The only help
! is a properly fitted pair of glasses to
the eye.
ASTIGNIATISM is a defect of the
eye mostly in the Cornea, it being
more convex in one Meridian than
the other. To correct this requires a
special ground glass. 1t may be
simple or compound.
The three above defects are the
most numerous and important, but
there are many others. The eye
should be examined at least once a
year, whether you need glasses for
them or not. Some of the signs of
a defective eye are pains in the eyes,
or forehead, headaches, itching or
smarting of the eyes when you read,
the lids sticking together in the
morning, print blurring after you
read, etc.
The best and most accurate in
struments for examining and testing
the eyes are the Opthalmoscope,
Retinoscope and Test Case, all of
which l have successfully used for
the past twelve years.
