Clean Your Glasses.

You who wear spectacles must un-
derstand that you cannot bee to ad-
vanage through greasy lenses. The
common habit Is to wipe eyeglasses
or spectacles with a silk handker-
chief carried in the pocket. The f1n-
ger tips always exude a delicate OIL.
This gets on the handkerchief and
from the handkerchief goes on to the
lenses. Presently there 8 a smear Of
grease and people complain of dim

your glasses with two or three pieces
