TO SAVE EYES.
Is the Object of This Free Prescription 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 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 a last resort they go to an optician or to the i've 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 simple prescription that every one should use:
 grains optona q tablet)
 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 the Inflammation and irritation; weak, watery, over worked, tired eyes and other similar troubles are greatly benefited and oftentimes cured by it's use. Many re- ports show that wearers of glasses have discarded them after few weeks use. It is good for the eyes and con- tains no ingredient which would in- jure the most sensitive eyes of an in- fant or the aged. Lee & Osgood or any druggist can fill this prescription promptly. Try it and know for once what real eye comfort is.

& Baiey's Circus Next Tuesday.
 One of the things that delighted the hearts of our fathers and grandfathers when they were youngsters were the songs of the clown in the circus; in those days there were but few treatreS in the country in which singing was done only the largest cities had the atres in which vaudeville performances were given, and they didn't call it vaudeville in those days. it was wa riety shows
 Since the circus has grown so large as to require tents of such enormous size, as those for instance of the Bar mum & Bailey snow which comes to Norwich next Tuesday, it has been necessary to increase the number of rings and add two stages upon which performances may be given, in order 1sat they may be brought within sec ing distance of the enormous au- siia0ces I'hese great tents oEnlitsrated the talking and singing clowns, for not one clown in a thousand could issssice himself heard in all parts of 8 tsSt So big, so instead of the merry zfSst and the comic song the clown hss aeEeU,e 8. creature of action and r.yYiet cres..s his fun by his grotesque ists, ard his foolish movements. fun ry eaiis and visible pranks.
 The producing clown is the real clown cf today: he is the clown who can creats new tricks, in which he Is assisted by one or more of his fellow f0cAs and in such a show as Barnum & Baiiey's it is a necessity to have a great many of these funmakers. The actual number is between 50 and 60. These merry sons of Momus are busy almost every minute in some sort of focl4yy that keeps the audience in a continuous roar of laughter: strange to say, however, there is with the Raruum & Bailey show one singing clown and he makes himself heard by everyone in the audience with the ut most distipCtness.
