TO SAVE EYES
ls the Object Of this Free Prescription
Try II 10 Your Eyes Give
You Trouble,

Thousands Of people suffer from eye
troubles because they do not know
what to do. They know some good
home 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
q 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 q simple
prescription that every one should use:
s grains Optona Il tablet).
Q ounce Water.
Use three or four times a day TO
battle the eyes. This prescription and
the simple DIPLOMA system keeps the
eyes clean, sharpens the vision and
quickly overcomes inflammation and
irritation; weak, watery, overworked,
tired eyes and other similar troubles
are greatly benefited and oftentimes
cured by its use. Many reports show
that wearer Of glasses have discard
ed them after a few weeks use. It Is
good for the eyes and contains no In
gredient which would injure the most
sensitive eyes OF an infant or the aged.
Font & Porterfield on any druggist
can fill this prescription promptly.
Try it ana know for once what real
eye comfort is.-Advt.

the ballot to relatively few men be-
cause OF the religious and property
restrictions. After the revolution the
religious qualifications were removed
ana more men were given the ballot
but not because they asked for It nor
did they promise to use it we'll or even
use 1t at all. In 1890 the naturalization
act gave a great many more men the
ballot and their male descendants as
WELL But they did not ask for II nor
promise to use 1t well. When the negro
was given the vote 1t was not because
ne asked for II nor was he required to
show that he would make good use Of
It. The same is true of the enfranchised
Indians!
Since it is a fundamental principle
OF a democracy that governments de-
rive their just powers from the con-
sent OF the governed, let us have a
true democracy! The women are q
great part Of those governed but their
consent has never been asked when
making the laws under which they
must live and which they must obey.
The suffrage movement Is merely the
woman's demand for fair play. Women
ought not to be made to promise great
reforms more than the men were.
In the long run however women will
owe the ballot to the Intelligent men
OF all parties who realize that quail
fications for voting In a democracy
must be made without regard to sex
IL we are to have q real democracy!

IMPORTANT FACTS
ABOUT SUFFRAGE

At the senate suffrage hearing In
1910, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait said:
"In the one hundred twenty years Of
national life, no class of men have
been forced to organize a movement in
behalf OF their own enfranchisment.
Yet American women who have con-
Quoted a persistent, intelligent move
ment for a half century which has
grown stronger and stronger with the
years.. when appealing for their own
enfranchisement are told that it Is un-
necessary to consider their plea since
all women do not ask for the vote"
What is required of a man before he
can vote in this country of his? He
must be FL years old. He must be ma
tive born or naturalized. In some
states he must be able to read. In q
few southern states there are addition
lions affecting the negro voter only.
And that Is all. He is not asked
whether he will use his vote nor is he
made to promise that hat he will make
better laws nor is he required to give
statistics hat men have always used
their votes to better the laws! He Ia
not asked IL all men want the vote. He
is not asked If he can still be q good
parent IL he votes or IL he will still
remain attractive" after he gets the
power to vote! But all these questions
are asked of women when they aspire
to the ballot!
The history of man suffrage in this
country shows that has he asked
for the vote; 1t has been given for the
q X OF the general welfare OF q dem
ocracy.
