DIR. John E. Corish. an able New
York physician Of long experience, has
come forward with the edict that eye
glasses must go. Intelligent people
everywhere are indorsing him. The
doctor says that the ancients never
dishgured their facial beauty with
goggles. They employed certain
methods, which have recently been
brought to the light of modern science.
DIR. Corish has written a marvellous
book entitled. How to Save the Eyes"
which tells how many may be benefited
in many cases, instantly. There Is an
easy home treatment, which Is just as
simple as II Is effective. and II Is fully
explained in this wonderful book.

A. last the good news can be pub
llshed. 1t Is predicted that within few
years eyeglasses and spectacles will be
so scarce that they will be regarded
as curIosities.
Throughout the civilized world there
has for several years been a recognised
movement by educated medical men,
particularly eye experts. toward treat
ing sore, weak or strained eyes ra-
tionally. The old way has been to fit
a pair of glasses as soon as the eyes
were found TO be strained. These
glasses are nothing better than
crutches They never overcome the
trouble. but merely give a little relief
while being worn, and they make the
eyes gradually weaker Every wearer
OF eyeglasses knows that he might as
well expect to cure rheumatism by
leaning upon a walking stick.
The great masses of sufferers from
eye-strain and other durable optic dis
orders have been misled by those who
were making fortunes out Of eye

POLICE TO WATCH
NEW YEARS
Maj. Sylvester Heeds Protest
Against Scene in FOL

BRANDED AS INDECENT
Capt. HOllinberger Ordered to Use
Every Measure to Prevent
Certain Acts.

That the "brutish posturings and evo-
lutions" which, it is declared, are fea-
tured in the scene, New Years
Eve on the Barbary Coast" will
not be presented by the Ziegfeld Fol
lies tonight, became assured yesterday
when Maj. Richard Sylvester, in a Wig
orous order issued to Capt. Thomas Hol-
linbeTger. of the First precinct, directed
that immediate steps be taken to pre-
vent the performance OF the features
condemned as insulting to common de-
cency."
Furthermore. the police department will
have a representative, probably Capt
HolIinbeFger himself, present at the Ma
tional Theater to see that the orders of
Maj Sylvester TO the effect that Roth-
ing must appear during the presehta-
tion of THE Follies' offensive to Chris
tian morality are strictly carried out.
Proceed at Once.-
The order came as the sequence TO the
audience given yesterday by the super
intendent of police TO officers of the
AIoysius Truth Society and affiliated
organizations. In it Mai. Sylvester di-
rects that the captain OF the First pre-
cinct proceed at once" to acquaint the
management Of the ''Follies" with the
police regulations governing indecent
theatricals, and Capt. Hollinberger Is
asked TO use every measure 10 see that
the regulations are not violated.
Members OF the police department said
last night that the instructions are of
such a mature that disregard of the
warning on the part OF the theatrical
people would doubtless result in the show
being stopped and arrests made.
The protest OF the AlOysius Truth So
ciety, and the subsequent action by Mai.
Sylvester. was the subject of widespread
cOmmendation by members OF the clergy
and prominent WashinGtonians yester-
