DR.. ]. Harry Gay will be in Medi-
cine Lodge next Monday and Tuesday,
Sept. | 9th and 18th. Iii not neces-
sary to say what Dr.. Gay can do for
those whose eyes need attention-his
past 2 or ! 3 years here are living
testimonial Of his efficiency and honesty.
He has made trips here from once to
four times year ever since his first visit

could attend to and sometimes more.
The secret Of Dr.. Gays success. is that
he guarantees all his work and always
makes good. If he can not do anything
for one who has defective eyes he frankly
says so before causing his caller to spend
money IN taking treatment. There are,
however. very few cases Of eye trouble
that he can not correct.
If your eyes are not night IN any par
ticular. call on Dr.. Gay and have them
examined. An examination costs moth

A rare Joke was played on the
saloon keepers OF Pueblo last week.
The mayor ordered them to close up.
and they went to the courts and Sc
cured an Injunction against the may
or to prevent his closing them up.
The mayor promptly announced his
determination to obey the court and
allow them to open, but added that
the order OF the court said nothing
about selling anything. and that he
would not permit any liquors to be
sold. After staying open few
hours and dispensing pop and cigars,
the dealers became tired and closed
their doors. Mayor Fugard seems to
be several laps ahead IN the race for
control of Pueblo.
