THE EYE

While the immense majority of man
kind have eyes that to all ~ppearance

per cent have L natural tendency to
deviate. This tendency is overcome
by the constant straint eXerted by the
nerves of the eyes in compelling the
muscles of the eye to overcome de-
ficiencies. We find that thousands
of people who have suffered for years
with nervousness, headaches and 9TH

ton OF their yes that their sickness,
discomfort and misery comes wholly
from some hidden defect of the eve or
to an insuificiency of n or more ocu.

thorough and painstaking examination
by n who has the skill and ability
as well as the experience TO detect

THE MlDWINTER FAIR.
Denver Making Big Preparations for
the Annual Show Week.

When the Western Stock Show AS
because of fear of infection from the
foot and mouth contagion, the citizens
of Denver suddenly decided that
SHOW Week." as it has become
known, must be continued. There
was a hurried call to conference and
as result every commercial and busi-
ness organization in Denver united in
plan to pull off the annual Horse
Show and such other features of the
Midwinter Fair as would not endanger
the live stock. Horses are not subject
to the disease and cannot carry the
germ. But while horses are made the
basis of the exposition this year, they
are only one part of it. 1t is to be a
Midwinter Fair in dead earnest. There
will be the great National Western
Poultry Show, larger and better than
ever. The Agricultural Exhibition will
be the largest ever gathered in the
West and will go from Denver direct
TO the Panama Pacific Fair at San
francisco. There will be a Kennel
Show, new feature but an interest
ing one. There will be Milk Show,
another new feature but interesting to
everyone who uses milk or produces
milk. Then there will be industrial
exhibits galore, making the whole trip
worth while.
While the program at Denver this
year will be some different as the
rule is Safety First" the many new
and novel features added to the Show
VIII more than make up for the cattle
competition, and the business end will
be running just the same.
The Colorado statesman., 1915-01-09
WHY "sHoW WEEKf"
Because the Stockmen and Farmers
Must Have an Opportunity to
Talk Things over.

The great success OF the annual
stock Show Week" in Denver has
been largely due to the fact that 1t Is
the only opportunity western stochmen
and farmers have to get together and
compare notes and make plans for
their years work. Many people have
asked. why do you hold the show in
nidwinter?" The answer is that 1t is
the only time of the year that western
stockmen and farmers can lea7e their
farms and ranches for week or moro
without inconvenience. In the fall OF
the year, when these events are usual
ly held, the western farmer and ranch
man is too busy to leave his business
for any extended stay, and 1t takes
some of them a week to go and come.
After the middle of December and up
TO the first of February, however, the
ranchman has his work in shape SO
that he can easily get away and he al
ways wants to go somewhere at that
time and take Mother, Daughter and
Son along.
Show Week" in Denver provides
Just the right kind of an excuse and
comes at just the right time. That is
the reason the whole West turns out.
It is a combination of business, pleas
ure and education that entertainment
features without number. In short, it
is to be a real fair, with something
doing all the time, day and night.
This is an occasion when Denver is
absolutely united and enthusiastic.
The newspapers there are pulling to-
gether for the success of the big event
and there will be things doing.
Deports reaching Denver are to the
effect that everyone is coming as
usual, and for a week Denver will be
overflowing with visitors. There will
be some twenty or more conventions
and annual meetings of various live
stock and commercial organizations go
ing on and the railroad rates are made
good returning for the week following
the show, SO that many will visit the
metropolis to attend to- such business
as they have there and spend a week
enjoying themselves.
