Throw away your
Eye Glasses!
FREE PRESCRIPTION
You Can Have Filled and Use at
Home.

Do you wear glasses? Are you vic
tim of eye-strain or other eye-weakness?
II so, you will be glad to know that
there is real hope for you. Many whose
eyes were failing say they have had
their eyes restored through the principle
of this wonderful free prescription. One
man says, after trying it: Il was almost
blind; could not see to read at ALL Now
1 can read everything without any
glasses and my eyes do not water any
more. At night they would pain dread
fully; now they feel fine all the time.
It was like a miracle to me-" A lady
who used it says: 1.-THE atmosphere
seemed hazy with or without glasses, but
after using this prescription for fifteen
days, everything seems clear. 1 can
even read fine print without glasses" 1t
is believed that thousands who wear
glasses can now discard them in a rea-
sonable time and multitudes more will
be able to strengthen their eyes SO as to
be spared the trouble and expense of
ever getting glasses. Eye troubles or
many descriptions may be wonderfully
benefited by following the simple rules.
Here is the prescription: Go to any &C
tive drug store and get bottle OF OPP
tona, fill a two-ounce bottle with warm
water. drop in one DIPLOMA tablet and al
the eyes two to four times daily. You
should notice your eyes Clear up per-
ceptibly right from the start and infiAm-
nation will quickly disappear. II your
eyes are bothering you. even little,
take steps to save them now before 1t is
too late. Many hopelessly. blind might
have been saved if they had cared for
their eyes in time.--Adv

R. |. Facing a
Treasury Deficit.

Providence, r. l., Dec. 19.-The state
is facing a deficit in it's treasury, ac-
cording to a statement made General
Treasurer Walter A. Reid this after
noon, and as q consequence the school
departments in several of the cities
and towns are likely to be financially
embarrassed. The shortage of funds
in the state treasury at this time Is
an annual occurrence, but this year.
the general treasurer declared the sit
uation is worse than he has ever ex-
perienced. The state has been unable
to meet any of the payments of school
funds, which fell due last Monday. and
as a result some of the cities ana
towns expect to have difficulty In pay
ing their teachers and other school ex-
penses. The shortage, Treasurer Read
said, is due to the many appropria-
lions made by the last session or the
State Legislature.

babies and invalids. The plans were
unnecessary, because the milk sup
ply in Indianapolis apparently did not
diminish, although the usual ship
ments of milk into the city from the
country on the interurban lines were
practically stopped. In view of this
the Health Board sent out inspectors
and many samples of milk were ana
lyzed. The samples all were up to the
required standards.
The discovery of the manufactured
milk was brought about when one
company put too much butter fat In
it's compound. This caused the
cream" to settle to the bottom of the
bottles. The company is one of the
largest in the city and admitted that
it had been selling the manufactured
milk for some time.
The board ordered that commencing
on Friday all manufactured milk must
be so labelled.

ed for Unfortunate Men.

Boston, Dec. 18.-Rev. Charles L.
Page, assistant pastor of the Dudley
Street Baptist church today issued
denial of report that he had made
unfortunate investors in railroad Sc
curities the special subject of a pub

justice to the railroads and to him
self after he had received the follow
ing telegram from New York:
Noticing your prayers for investors
in railroad securities will you kindly
include investors in wheat for May de-
livery both in Chicago and New YORK;
also investors in flax seed and corn,
thereby obliging several parties In
terested in the above and who will
anxiously await results
Mr.. Page said he would not under
take any such contract.
Mr.. Page explained that weekly
meeting of clergymen suggestions
were made of subjects upon which
those present might unite in their
prayers. One suggested a revival in
Boston another a general spiritual
awakening in the community and a
third the victims of inscriptions deal
ers in question about securities.
Il acted on these suggestions" said
Mr.. Page, but did not specify inves-
tors ld railroad stock as has been
said"
