Mrs. Anna e. Massey, of No. 3OS East
Fourth street. in being the means Of
having two valuable diamond rings,
as we'll as a band ring returned to
her after the jewels were lost Mrs.
Massey lost the rings last Wednes-
day night, while sitting on her front
steps. They were missed later in the
evening, but a search failed to reveal
them and Mrs. Massey notified the po-
lice At that time she did not know
whether the rings had been lost or not
and thinking they might have been
found she inserted an ad in this paper
on Thursday.
Yesterday morning a knock at her
door by Mrs. Clara Barlow, Of Robin
son and Lombard streets, caused Mrs.
Massey TO learn of the rings. They
had been found by her son James, the
night they were lost, and the want
ad caused the woman to return them.
Mrs. Massey rewarded the youth.

One Great Cause Is Eye-Strain From

they happen to be bit out OF order

Recent discoveries show that ninety
per cent of nervous troubles are due
to other disorders. Eye-strain is one
cause. Not only those who have to
use their eyes constantly, like stu
dents and lapidaries and miniature art
lists and engravers. but city folks who
live and work where their vision Is
restricted, are all sufferers from uerv-
GUS troubles, more or less.
The eye wants to get exercise as
well as the muscles. Living in narrow
streets and gazing out across little al
leys against brick walls, rushing into
narrow cars and hurrying into small
rooms, all keep the vision down to
narrow limits and pretty soon eye
strain sets in and this brings on nerv.
GUS trouble.
And one of the peculiarities OF this

that they have eye-strain because the
