and soil and building conditions. |,
affords one of best opportunitief
to study exact conditions in your

ANTITRUST WORK
TO Be WOUND UP
Adjournment of Senate Until
Monday Gives Senators
Chance to Work.

WASHINGTON, July 10-With the
Senate adjourned over until Monday,
members of the committees having in
charge the perfecting of the admin
istration's antitrust program today
planned to put in the intervening
time in some strenuous work on those
measures. 1t was expected that the
completed trust legislation would be
submitted to the Senate on Monday
Adjournment was taken in order to
allow the perfection of the remainder
of the program in committee. 1t was
made necessary because of the inabil-
ity to maintain quorum in the
chamber while the committees having
the trust legislation under considera-
ton were at work. The committee
will thus be enabled to proceed unin-
terrupted by roll-calls to force, their
attendance in the Senate
With the trade commission bill al
ready before the Senate, only two
measures on the program remained
to be completed They are the Clay
ton antitrust and the railway securi-
ties bills. While the task confronting
the committees was a difficult one with
conflicting contentious regarding the
two bills to be reconciled, still Demo
cratic leaders were confident today
that the measures would be perfected
and laid before the Senate on Monday.

HOW YOU MAY THROW
AWAY YOUR GLASSES

The statement is made that thou
sands wear eyeglasses who do not
really need them. If you are one of
these unfortunates, then these glasses
may be running your eyes instead of
helping them. Thousands who wear
these windows" may prove for them
selves that they can dispense with
glasses if they will get the following
prescription filled at once: Go to any
active drug store and get bottle OF
Optona: fiji a two-ounce bottle with
warm water 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
astonished at the results right from
the start. Many who have been told
that they have astigmatism, eye
strain, cataract, sore eyelids, weak
eyes. conjuctivitis and other eye
disorders, report wonderful benefits
from the use of this prescription. Get
this prescription filled and use 1t;
YOU may so strengthen your eyes that
glasses will not be necessary. Thou
sands who are blind or nearly so. or
who wear glasses would never have
required them II they had cared for
their eyes In time. Save your eyes
before ii is too latel Do not become
one of these victims of neglect, Eye
glass.s are only like crutches and
every few years they must be changed
t., fit the ever-increasing weakened
condition, so better see if you can.
like many others, get clear. healthy.
strong magnetic eyes through the pre-
scription here given.

American Emigrants Are
Returning from Canada

WASHINGTON. July 10.-Secretary
Wilson, of the department of labor, is
pleased at reports he is receiving
which indicate that the number of
American citizens emigrating to Can
ada is decreasing. For several years
the tide of emigration across the
northern borders of the United States
grew to such proportions as to cause
anxiety to government officials and
others. During 1912. 97.951 American
citizens went to Canada, while the
number returning from that country
to the United States was only 3S,317.
For the eleven months ending May
81, 1914. it Is stated at the department
1896 citizens of this country went
over into the dominion, while 44.127
Americans returned to the United
States. A gratifying feature of the
return movement to Secretary Will
son is that large numbers of those
coming back are seeking information
from the department as to the loca-
ton of land on which they may
settle.
