REFORMATORY WOULD
CARE FOR WOMEN
Meeting Held at Des Moines Last
Week Between Board and
state Women.

One day last week there was held
in Des Moines a meeting of the board
Of control and five women chosen
from different parts. OF the state. to
talk over the plans for the proposed
reformatory for women which Is to
be built in this state as soon as the
best plan OF construction can be de-
cided upon. It is the purpose to
make it a model institution In every
respect, a prison for women which
shall serve the real purpose which
should underlie all prisons, namely
reform. They should not be places
Of punishment, but penitentiary-a
place where the prisoners become
penitent. 1t is interesting to note
that the working out of the plans was
given into the hands, not OF the board
of CONTROL or the governor, but of five
prominent women of Iowa. Miss
Flora Dunlap of Des Moines is chair
man. Mrs. John Nash until recently
of Audubon, but now living in Ottum-
wa, is member of the committee.

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 filed at once. Go to
wilkinson & Company or to any
active drug store and get bottle OF
ODtona: fill a two-ounce bottle with
warm water and drop in one DIPLOMA
tablet. With this harmless liquid solu-
ton battle the eyes two to four times
daily, and you are likely to be aston
ished at the results right from the
start. Many who have been told that
thew have astigmatism, eye-strain,
cataract, sore eyelids, weak eyes,
coniunctivitis and other eye disor-
ders. report wonderful benefits from
the use of this prescription. Get tnls
prescription filed and use 1t; you
NAV 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 If they had cared for
their eyes in time. Save your eyes
before 1t is too late! Do not become
one of these victims of neglect. Eye
glasses are only like clutches ana
every few years they must be changed
I, fit the ever-increasing weakened
so better see II you cam
like many others, get clear, healthy
strong magnetic eyes through the
prescription here given.
