by Mr.. Stephenson, of James City. DR..
Stephenson said that the eye, the most
delicate organ of the body. needs care

would legalize professional optometry.
He was opposed TO the feature allow

ness would not be necessary. No one.

never been taxed before as to their
occupation. They work hard. They
are merely one of the classes of la

$25.
