New Orleans Rice Market.

New Orleans.-While the demand
for the week has been active, there is
decidedly better feeling in rice cir
cles. Receipts are ARRIVING in moder-
ate volume and prices are steady at a
low range on Honduras styles. There
is much stronger time on Japan sorts
and prices are firmly held on all desir-
able parcels. Adyices from the South
note a fair inquiry on the Atlantic
coast, where prices are higher than
on similar grades from other produc-
ing sections, yet there is always a
demand for strict Carolina, and the
present month is, as usual, the most
favorable for liberal investment.

ARE YOU FORTY YEARS OLD;

At the age of forty the average
person needs glasses to read, and,
like dose of medicine, they ought
to be taken in time.
A great many people are under the
impression that the longer they can
put off wearing glasses the better
it is for the eye, but it is the re-
verse.
Glasses should be put on as soon
as one finds that they will benefit the
eye.
Glasses Do Not Always Improve
Sight.
If your eyes tire easily, you suffer
from headache great deal; if they
become red and water from use or
