 or Go Broke

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The western railroads operating west of the Mississippi announced today to the Interstate Commerce Commission that they would make a formal ap- plication for permission to raise rates on freight shipments because of the great expense they have been put to by reason of the increase in pay granted the men to avoid strike and because of the changed financial conditions in the United States.
 The attorneys for the roads an- nounced that conditions were unpre- cedented in the United Sta4es and that unless the roads were given fair chance many of them would cer- tainly go down, taking with them many other industries and for time at least upsetting the financial con- ditions in the country.

THROW AWAY YOUR EYE
GLASSES!
A free Prescription You Can Have
Filled and Use at Home.

Do you wear glasses? Are you a
victim of eye-strain or other eye-weah-
nesses? If so, you will be glad to know
that there is real hope for you. Many
whose eyes were failing, say they have
had their eyes restored through the
principle of this wonderful free pre-
scription. one man says, after try
ing it: Il was also blind; could not
see to read at all Now | can read ev-
erything without any glasses and my
eyes do not water any more. At night
they would pain dreadfully; now they
feel fine all the time. 1t was like
miracle to me" A lady who usesd it,,
says: "The atmosphere seemed hazy
with or without glasses, but after using
this prescription for fifteen days, eN-
erything seems clear. | can even read
fine print without glasses II is BE-
lieyed that thousands who wear glass
es. can now discard them in a reason
able time and multitudes more will
be able to strengthen their eyes so
as to be spared the trouble and eX-
pense of ever getting glasses. Eye
troubles of many descriptions may be
wonderfully benefited by following the
simple rules. Here is the prescrip-
ton? Go to any active drug store
and get a bottle of Optona. Fill a two
ounce bottle with warm water, drop in
one Optona tablet and allow to dis
solve. With this liquid, battle the eyes
two to four times daily. You should
notice your eyes clear up percepubly
right from the start and Inflammation
will quickly disappear If your eyes
are bothering you, even little, take
steps to save them now before it Is
too late Many hopelessly blind might
have been saved if they had cared fol
heir eyes in time.
