and drop in one DIPLOMA tablet. With this
harmless liquid solution battle the eyes two
to four times daily. and you are likely to be
astonisbed at the results right from the start
Many who have been told that they have astig-
matism, eyestrain cataract sore eyelids, weak
eyes, conjunctivitis, and other eye disorders.
report wonderful benefits from the use OF TINS
free prescription. Get this prescription filled
and use It you may SO strengthen reur eyes
that glasses will not be necessary. Thousands
who are blind. or snearly SO, or who wear
glasses. would never have required them II
they had cared for their eyes in time. Save
your eyes before il is too latel Do not be-
come one of these victims of neglect. Eye
glasses are only like crutches, and every few
years they must be changed to fit the ever
increasing weakened condition, SO better see
il you can, like many others. get clear,
healthy. strong. magnetic eyes through the
prescription here given.

The county Of Vernon in certain
middle state was at peace. Farmers.
mechanics and merchants met each
other and asked:
How is old Vernon county,"
And the answer would be:
"Old Vernon county is all right-you
betr
Fifty men saw X. NJ Davis, as he
came to be known. when the bus drove
up to the inn at Clifton with him as
the only passenger. He was middle
aged man. and he had the face or
true American patriot He had come
to give Vernon county such chance
TO get rich as had never been held out
to her before. Years ago his grand
father had died and had been buried In
that county, and 1t was consecrated
ground to him. That is why be had
come to it instead Of any other county.
Mr.. Davis had come to Clifton direct
from Europe. He had gone over there
TO study the agriculture Of the country
Ht his own expense. He had returned
with what might be called great ind.
The Belgians were almost secretly
growing a specimen Of cucumber that
was bound to revolutionize the world.
1t was amazingly prolific.
One acre of ground would grow 5.ooO
cucumbers. each three feet long ana
weighing five pounds.
1t was like eating oranges. 1t was
a breakfast food in itself. It left be-
hind it an exhilaration not known to
any other vegetable in the. world.
This cucumber was certain to take
the place of grains OF all sort in a
year or two more and would displace
the potato and the turnip entirely
Mr.. Davis did more than talk and
exhibit seeds. He put $50 cash In
bank as a prize to the person raising
the most Belgian cucumbers the next
spring or summer. 1t was November
then Between November and April
Mr. Davis sold over $4,000 worth OF
seeds and received his money for them.
When he went away he went boldly,
and he left the prize money in the
bank. By so doing he escaped all sus-
picion.
