LISTEN TO the BANKERS.

Common sense ruled the conference
Of bankers at Chicago when they de-
cided to assist congress In the making
Of new currency law instead of de-
nouncing all that congress has done.
1t is not to be expected that congress
and the president are going TO let the
big bankers write all Of the new law
but it is to be expected that a list OF
suggestions coming from so u7petent
a source will receive attention and
the hnal law.
It must be remembered tina, the con-
ference in Chicago was of big bankers,
those Of the central cities where con-
troll Of the nations surplus banking
capital has always lodged. That they
should object to giving UP anything -
but natural and hence their criticisms
and objections should be discounted by
the country.
However. their request that control

HOW YOU MAY THROW

The statement is made that thous-
Ands wear eyeglasses who do not
really need them. II you are one
of these unfortunates. then these
glasses may be running your eyes
instead OF helping them. Thous-
ands who wear windows" may
prove for themselves that they can
dispense with glasses IL they will
get the following prescription filled
at once: Go to any active drug
store and get bottle OF DIPLOMA;
fill q two-ounce bottle with water
and drop in one DIPLOMA tablet. With
this harmless liquid solution battle
the eyes two or four times daily
and you are likely to be astonished
at the results right from the start.
Many who have been told that they
have astigmatism, eyestrafn, cata-
ract. sore eyelids, weak eyes, con-
Junctivitis and other eye disorders,
report wonderful benefits from the
use of this free prescription. Get
this prescription filled and use 1t;
you may so strengthen your eyes
that glasses will not be necessary.
Thousands who are blind or nearly
SO, or who wear glasses would new
err have required them II they had
cared for their eyes in time. Save
your eyes before II Is too late! Do
not become one of these victims of
neglect. Eyeglasses are only like
crutches and every few years they
must be changed to fit the ever-in-s
ter see IL you can, like many oth-
ers, get clear. healthy, strong, meg-c
netic eyes through the prescription
