HOW TO SAVE YOUR EYES
Try this Free Prescription.

Do your eyes give you trouble? Do
YOU already wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles? Thousands of people wear
these windows" who might easily dis
pense with them. You may be one of
these, and it is your duty to save your
eyes before it is too late. The eyes are
neglected more than any other organ
of the entire body. After you finish
your days work you sit down and rest
our muscles, but how about your eyes?
Do You rest them? You know you do
not. You read or do something else
that keeps your eyes busy; you work
your eyes until you go TO bed. That is
why so many have strained eyes and
many other eye troubles that threaten
partial or total blindness. Eyeglasses
are merely crutches; they never cure.
This free prescription, which has ben
Gifted the eyes of so many, may work
equal wonders for you. Use it short
time. Would you like your eye trou-
bles to disappear as if by magic? Try
this prescription. Go to the nearest
wideawake drug store and get bottle
of Optona tables: fill a two-ounce bot
tie with warm water, drop in one tab
let and allow it to thoroughly dissolve.
With this liquid battle the aes two TO
four times daily. Just note how quick,
ly your eyes clear up and how soon
the inflammation will disappear Don't
be afraid to use it; it is absolutely
harmless. Many who are now blind
might have saved their eyes had they
started to care for them in time. This
is simple treatment, but marvelously
effective in multitudes of cases. Now,
that you have been warned, don't de-
lay a day, but do what you can to save
your eyes, and you are likely to thank
us as long as you live for publishing
this prescription.

the official of whom ii can truthfully
be said, "he has always done his
best" He has courteous, genial and
business like manner that wins the
friendship and the confidence of all
who know him. He is never too tired
to stop and hear the complaints of
the people and is never too busy to
exhaust every resource in trying to
relieve their wants. When business
matters must be adjusted by the board
it has always been noticeable that all
citizens, no matter what their station
in life may be, look alike to him. He
has been tried and found worthy, he
has sacrificed his own business that
the county might have his time, he
has gone upon the roads himself and
made a hand that the county might
have passable highways, his co-opera-
tion with Ardmore citizens has been
clever piece Of work through which
several thousands of dollars were Civ
en- by Ardmore peonle for a road to
the west of ArdmOre, and this sum
was saved to the tax payers. 1t is
said TO his credit that he has never
condemned a piece of properly to b.
used as a roadway. lie has made
amiCable settlements with his neigh
borS, which has saved time and money
and good will to all concerned. As a
business man, as finaneier, as a road
getter and a road builder, il is difficult
to see how he has done so much in
the short space of time he has been
in office. He has guarded the interests
of the county for the past two years,
in his first announcement he said the
best way to lower the taxes was to
increase the wealth. as there was a
fixed tax that could not be avoided.
True to that principle he has coop
Grated with every enterprise that Of
fered to come this way, and the re-
suit of that cooperation is here. Ger
tainly the voters of the third district
viii make no mistake by placing their
business in his hands for a second
term. By doing so they will confer
a favor upon the remainder OF the
county.

MAJESTIC MONDAY
Call of the Trau-
merei,

HeTtl.
Calvin Demorbst, young artist
who is on the verge of a physical
breakdown, is advised by his friend,
RizZio, an old music master, to go
to the country to rest. Profiting
by the advice, Calvin goes to the
farm of friend of Rizzio's, where
he soon Iecovers and devotes his
time to out-of- door sketching. One
day while out sketching, he meets
Enid Sumner, a country maiden who
is a natural violinist, and is capti-
waited by her remarkable talent for
music. Acquaintance, intimacy and
love follow in natural order He
teaches her to play "Traumerei'
by whistling it for her and subse-
quently feels the power of her mu-
sic over him.
Calvin is finally called back to the
city by a letter informing him of
legacy left him by his uncle. He
leaves her at the cid trysting place,
but the strains of Traumerei calls
him back for one more view of her
and he sees picture of grief and
despair that imprints itself indel-
IDLY in his heart. After remaining
abroad two years the memory 'of
Enid grows dim and he becomes in
fatuated with Vera De Lys, an ac
tress. Enid, in the meantime, goes
to the city and becomes pupil of
Rizzio.
Returning home from Europe, Cal
vim secures his old studio adjoining
Rizzio's, and, takes up his work with
renewed energy and confidence,
At the exhibit his picture wins
highest honors; Enid learns that
she is remembered; Riz2io discov-
ers the secret and Vera De Lys,
the French actress, who is playing
in America with her company, finds
Calvin again. Feeling his old in
fatuation for Vera return, Calvin
leaves the exhibit hall with her,
sending a message back to Rizzio
to meet them that evening at GER
tain cabaret. The message gives
Rizzio an idea and he aIranges with
the manager of the cabaret for Enid
to appear as an entertainer.
That evening the call of the
