Naturally, the cost of those which
are the result of painstaking and ac-
eurate eye-examination, followed by
careful manufacture and adjustment to
ones eyes, cost more than the "ready-
to-wear' variety.
Still, everyone does not require spe-
battle-ground lenses, and our examina-
tion will determine this for you. When
special lenses are required, they cost
according to the complicated character
of the formula-and only that.

Economy at Hand.

: 1t is probably very fortunate fol, Ha-
wall that Congress has voted generous
appropriations for various territorial
projects in the last three or four years.
The era of economy in government ex-
penditures appears to be at hand and
during the next two or three years, till
the revenues of the government are
abundant, it is probable that the prun-
ing knife will be welded ON all appro-
priation bills. The Senate now has a
budget committee of leading Senators,
who will try to keep the total of appro-
priations down to the revenues. The
cabinet is also to have a budget com
mittee of its own members for the pur-
pose of scaling the estimates. Under
such a regime the territories, which
have no votes, will naturally suffer
most 1t remains to be seen, however,
whether the army and navy program
as it applies to Hawaii will be curtail-
ed. or whether the development of the
great naval station at Pearl Harbor will
be checked. President Taft has declar
ed that there must be no skipping with
the army and navy, and if his word is
respected Congress will probably con-
tinue to vote generously for navy and
army.

SOME FAMOUS

used often to describe meeting between
Thomas Carlyle and the philosopher Nal
