Eye Glasses Should Go
Says New York Physician
Here Is His Free Prescription.

"Many who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care
is necessary. The eyes of old and
young should be properly bathed night
and morning. This is more important
than cleansing teeth" says he and
then he goes on to say:
"1he following treatment is worthy
If fullest confidence. 1t is scientific,
immediately effective anu positively
harmless to the weakest of eyes. Go
to any drug store, get a tube of OPP
tona tablets, dissolve one in u two
ounce bottle of pure water and bathe
the eyes two to four times daily. What
is generally known as eye strain will
soon be banished while the muscles and
nerves are permitted to perform their
normal functions. 1t helps diseased
eyes and it keeps good eyes healthy;
it is absolutely harmless in every way;
does not smart of burn, has wonder

DANCING ACADEMY
PROPRIETOR ACCUSED

San Francisco, May 27-Police Judge
Sullivan today held Peter D. Findlay,
proprietor of a dancing academy in the
Mission district in $4,000 cash bail or
bonds of $4,000 on charge of commit
ting a statutory offense against Anita
Blethen, aged II.
Miss Blethen was so unwilling to
testify that she had to be threatened
with Jail if she refused. Yielding at
last, she said she had been attending
dances at Fndlay's academy for three
years, was there the night of March 8,
drank later with Merle Mathison, girl
friend of 20, at q neighboring cafe, and
then returned with her companion to
Findlay's rooms, where she told the
judge the three spent the night. She
confessed that she remembered little of
what happened because of what she
had drunk.
Miss Mathison corroborated this
story, owning that she herself was too
much intoxicated to remember whether
she went to bed dressed or undrcssed.
Findlay denied the girls story.

Abyssinia, Spencer tells us, it was the
custom for interiors to bare their
bodies down to the girdle before SUI
periors. But in the presence of equals
only a corner of the tunic was re-
moved so as to bare the shoulder. The
barring of the shoulder. especially
throughout the Gold Coast, is Gus
tom as common as taking off the hat
with us. Uncloaking in Spain is simi-
lar in origin. In Africa the men bare
their shoulders and doff their caps to
superiors, thus joining two customs
in one.
In times of chivalry men raised
their hats to ladies to show reverence.
But this was only superficial In mean
ing. A knight would ride down a
poor peasant woman carrying a large
burden and never think of taking off
his hat to her.
And so it is to-day. The custom is
all right. 1t is the man who is to
blame. The true gentleman so salutes
a woman under any circumstances
and his tribute is none the less chiv-
alrous because the fiirt on another
street misuses 1t.

Judge Kunkel's Candidacy

From the Wilkes Barre Record. ]
All Central Pennsylvania and some
of the outlying counties were repre-
sented at the meeting of judges and
lawyers in Harrisburg on Tuesday at
which Judge KunSel was endorsed for
the State Supreme Court bench. The
hundreds of attorneys who have prac-
ticed before him see in Judge Kunkel
a man fitted by every essential quail
fication for the high tribunal of the
State. 1t is very fitting and should
have great weight with the lay vote
that these men, who know him most
intimately and are best fitted to judge,
should Join together in a public en-
dorsement of his candidacy.
Judge Kunkefs campaign for the
nomination was conducted under eX-
treme difficulty and was beset by. many
complications of a political nature
that no longer exist His path lies
straight to the Supreme bench He
is well known as the man who tried
the Capitol conspiracy cases and his
labor record is clean. He has served
the public as legislator, public pro-
secutor and Judge. He is experience
ed in every branch of the law and an
authority on Pennsylvania legislation
of all sorts. He was reelected to
the Dauphin county bench on a nom
partisan ticket without a dissenting
vote. He has no business entansle-
ments and is free politically. His
private life is without blemish. He
is in the prime of life and resides in
district that is not represented on
the Supreme bench. He is the To-
gical man for the iudgeship and the
public will no doubt agree with the
bar in it's endorsement

BRUMBAUGH'S TRIBUTE To
SCHOOLS

In his speech at Donora, where he
assisted in the dedication of a new
high school building Dr. Martin G.
Brumbaugh, the Republican candidate
for Governor, said in part
In the public school. where all the
children of our people are educated.
more than in any other institution in
society," we are working out the great
problem of our American democracy
and our American civilization. If YOU
we're to ask me what are the rights
of an American citizen, | should. of
course, recite to you the Declaration
of Independence, which our forefath-
ers promulgated at Philadelphia in
l716. Our rights are those of life
and liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. But If you were to ask me
what are the rights of the children
of Pennsylvania, perhaps you would
hesitate before you undertook in any
definite way to formulate their rights
Everv child living under the flag of
this American Republic has a right to
good, substantial home. do not
mean large richly-appo home,
but one where good devout father
and mother care for and train their
children and instill into their lives the
virtues of the domestic life out of
which spring all the strength, dignity
and glory of our American civiliza-
ton. There is no larger problem in
which the splendid manhood and
womanhood of America can educate
itself to-day than that of giving to
our children good, clean, safe, whole
some homes.
The child also has a right to good
church. I care not under what creed
the child worships. That is a matter
which, in America, thank God, is set
tied by the freedom which we accord
to everyone to worship his God un-
der his own vine and fig tree. And,
amonT the inalienable rights of a
child Is that of a good school, But
it is important that the school should
do more than simply train the bodies
of our boys and girls. We need also
to fibre their thoughts in such way
that in all the subsequent relations
of life they shall be able to speak the
truth and do no wrong, for in the
last analysis the test of a good Amer
lean citizen is that he shall violate
no law of his country and speak the
truth upon all occasions.

ADVERTISING IN DULL TIMES

THE big English firm of Harrods,
limited, Brompton road, Lon
= don, has just demonstrated its
faith in newspaper advertising
by buying four pages in one of the
big newspapers of that city to adver-
tise its annual summer clearing sale.
London is hard-up, thousands of its
wage-earners are at the front. Money
is scarce and it was generally expected
that many of the big stores would be
left with large quantities of unsold
goods on their hands Harrods took
another view of the situation. The
proprietors expressed the belief that
if the public could be interested and
prices made right sales could be kept
up. So the record breaking advertis-
ing campaign was decided upon.
The results ought to point a lesson
to some timid merchants in America,
who have been kept out of the news
pers by the notion that advertising
in dull times does not pay. In six
days, from Monday to Sunday, more
than. a half million transactions were
recorded and more than S1,100,000
changed hands. To meet the rush
1000 extra salesmen were necessary,
running the total of the store up to
$500 employees. greater than any
number ever before employed, even in
the most prosperous seasons.
one mornings mail contained 49,
900 letters and 300 extra hands were
necessary in the shipping department.
The store is not only clear of its sum-
mer stock, but is left with a very sub
stantial cash balance in hand with
which to prepare for the extraordi-
nary conditions that prevail in Eng
land as a result of the war.
1t is the persistent, intelligent adver-
tlser that realizes on his investment
every day of the year, no matter how
times may be for the other fellow.
