Federal reserve act Is all that 1t should

have subscribed to it.
Indeed, acceptance Of the act Is In
large part a tribute to its coercive fea-

shown that they lacked the courage Of
their convictions expressed last year.
but they have evinced a patriotic COM

countrys prosperity In the future in
the degree to which the revision Of the
financial organization may contribute
to prosperity.
Moreover. when the Federal reserve
act became an accomplished fact the
best that the national bankers could

TO SAVE EYES Is the Object of This Free Prescrip- tion.-Try It If Your Eyes
 Give You Trouble

Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles because they do not know what to do. They know some good remedy for every other minor ailment, but none for their eye trou- bles. They neglect their eyes because the trouble is not sufficient to drive them to an eye specialist, who would anyway. charge them a heavy fee. As a last resort they go to an optician or to the five and ten cent store, and oftentimes get glasses, that they do not need, or which, after being used two or three months, do their eyes more injury than good. Here is a simple prescription that every one should use:
 5 grains Optona (1 tablet)
 2 ounces water.
 Use three or four times a day to bathe the eyes. This prescription and the simple Optona system keeps the eyes clean, sharpens the vision and quickly overcomes inflammation and irritation; weak, watery, over worked, tired eyes and other similar troubles are greatly benefited and oftentimes cured by its use. Many reports show that wearers of glasses have discarded them after few weeks use. It is good for the eyes and contains no ingredient which would inju1e the most sensitive eyes of an infant or the aged. Any drug gist can fill this prescription prompt ly. Try it and know for once what real eye comfort is.
