Free Glasses to School Children

1t often happens that school children
are in great need of glasses and yet
have not the money to buy them. Per-
haps the eyes have been examined in
the early fall, by the teacher, accord
ing to the printed instruction. and
some defect has been found. Maybe
the child cannot see the blackboard.
Maybe the teacher finds that although
the child can see well at a distance,
he frequently complains of headache
and eyeache, after getting his lessons.
Maybe the eyes are red, or maybe the
child Is cross-eyed. At all events the
teacher discovers that something is
wrong, so she sends a printed card to
the parent. which notifies him that his
child's eyes are not right, and advises
him to seek competent advice. The
mother or the school nurse. therefore,
takes the child to the oculist, who dis
covers that glasses are urgently need
ed to enable the child properly to re-
ceive offered school instruction. With
out glasses this cannot be done, and

OPTIMISM AS uPLIFT AID.

He who thinks the world is full of
good people and kindly blessings is
much richer than he who thinks the
contrary. Each mans imagination
largely peoples the world for himself.
Some live in q world peopled with
princes of the royal blood: some in a
world of paupers and privation. You
have your choice, says the Christian
Herald.
This IS a big. busy world. 1t cares
precious little what you think OF It,
or what faults or troubles you find in
II. II is = choice that concerns your
self more than all others combined,
whether you Crouch in the gloom, the
companion of hateful COLLINS. or stride

beings. They were made 10 stand

She deposited in the bank fifteen dol
lars a month from her salary, and
twice a year applied her savings on
the mortgage. In about three years
she had her lot clear. She is now
saving another nest egg, and pretty

A housewife struggled for years try

TALKS ON THRIFT.
BY T. D. MAC oREGoR.

Here are some ways that people
have saved successfully. Perhaps
you can adopt one of them yourself.
Save all coins of a certain denomi-
nation-pennies, nickels or dimes, that
come into your possession Or save
every coin you receive bearing a GER
tain date-191O for instance.
Let the man who shaves himself put
away the price of a shave every time
he does so; likewise when he shines
his own shoes, let the coin saved be-
come a part of his permanent capital.
Whenever you make a purchase at
bargain price, save the difference be-
tween that and the regular price. In
that way bargain sales will have a real
meaning to you.
A certain young man gave himself a
note for $1,000. and made it payable in
four years. He took a certificate of de
post at the bank for $50 the first of
every month. In less than four years
he had his thousand dollars, compound
interest on his deposits materially
Fastening the day. His thousand dol
lars was invested in a bond, and he is
now at work accommodating his second
thousand. The interest on his bond
will help a whole lot in doing so.
Moreover he has the Saving habit
firmly established. and is putting away
S25 a month from his earnings.
A school teacher had 800 saved and
bought a lot for $3.50. applying her
hundred dollars on the purchase price.
The owner of the lot was willing to
sell on long time. because his mort |
gage on the lot was drawing interest. |
Il was a good bargain for the teacher. |
because she had a goal to reach. and |
ihe saved for her lot what otherwise |
she would have spent on Iuxuries. |
