A LA GOTHAM

WHEN the general manager Of one of the
W western branches of the Bell Tele-
phone Company was in New York recently
he told this story Of Salt Lake City tele-
phone girl.
In the Central office there was one hello
girl who was always late in the morning.
Time and time again the local manager
pleaded with her to be more prompt; but
her hardness still continued, until he was
moved to use desperate methods

to her exchange board one morning carrying
package in his hands. Il have little
scheme that | hope will induce you TO arrive
at the office on time. have bought this
fine alarm clock for you. Please promise
me that you will make proper use of it.
The young woman promised, and the
first night set the alarm at the required hour
for rising the next morning. At the ind
Gated hour the clock set up a tremendous
whirring, loud enough to awaken the whole
house. But the sleepylittle hello lassie turned
over in bed and said in her sweetest tone:

"How to Save the Eyes,
is the title of a
FREE BOOK

At last the good news can be published.
1t is predicted that within few years eye
glasses and spectaclcs will be SO scarce that
they will be regarded as curiositics.
Throughout the civilized world there has,
for several years, been recognized move
ment bv educated medical men, particularly
eve experts, toward treating sore, weak or
strained eyes nationally. The old way was
to fit pair of glasses as soon as the eyes
were found to be strained. These glasses
were nothing better than clutches. They
never overcome the trouble, but merely give
little relief while being worn and they
make the eyes gradually weaker. Every
wcarer of eyeglasses knows that he might as
well expect to cure rheumatism by leaning
upon walking stick.
The great masses OF sufferers from eye
strain and other durable optic disorders have
been misled by those who were making for
tunes out of eyeglasses and spcctaclcs.
