If YOU SUFFER FROM
HEADACHES

Consider whether they may
not be caused from eye strain.
1t is very important to you, of
course, that you should use your
eyes, but nature never intended
that you should abuse them, We
know that most headaches are
caused by straining the normal
eye, or using imperfect eyes or
eyes which do not focus. Our
experience leads us to believe
that all strained eyes can be re-
lieved by properly fitted glasses.
When this strain is relieved, the
headache disappears. Now rea-
son a little: IF you are a sufferer
from headaches; and you suspect
that the cause is strained vision.
then our argument must appeal
to you. Our long experience and
great success in relieving eve
strain will be invaluable to YOU.
You will not be disappointed if
you have your eyes fitted at

officials as unconcerned as if he had
done the most commonplace thing. in
stead of having made 80 miles in 40
minutes and / 3-5 seconds and set a
mark which bids fair to win him

Wilbur Wright spent a little time
in watching the flight to the light and
then sent for Walter Brookins and it
was soon apparent that the pioneers
were not intending to allow the Eng
lishman to take up all the attention
of the afternoon. The signals went up
that Walter Brookins would try for
altitude and it was but a scanty 10
minutes after White landed that the
Wright pupil was in the air and head

White had just completed his trial

was too much, however. and the Eng
lishman ordered his Bleriot turned to
the northwest. Brookins was scarcely

ground when White went after him
with a dash. taking just time enough
to sign for his permit for the flight.

endeavors to reaching his highest

in favor individually of resubmission. but
because he held such personal opinions
he did not consider it wise or sensible
for him to vote with the Democracy with
which he had very. very few ideas in

he said. He gloried in its remarkable
achievements for the peoples welfare
