Throw Away Your
 Eye-Glasses!
A Free Prescription

Do you wear glasses2 Are you a victim of eye-strain or other eye-weak- 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 trying it: q was almost blind; could not see to read at all. Now I can read every thing without any glasses and my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfuIly; now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me-" A lady who used 1t says: The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything seems clear. l can even read fine print without glasses" It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time, and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many descrip- tons may be wonderfully benefited by the prescription: Go to Lee & Osgood or to any active drug store and get a bot tie of Optona. Fill two ounce bottle with warm water, drop in one Optona tablet and allow to dissolve. With this liquid, bathe the eyes two to four times daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and infammatio will quickly dis appear. If your eyes are bOthering you, even d little. take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hope lessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time.

 For the benefit of the other tired women l want to say that I keep house for seven in my family. I be- came rundown, all played out. I did not seem to have any life in me and looked badly.

WORLDS LEADING
 TOBACCO TOWN.
Winston-SaIem,N N. C.. Now Manufae- lures More Tobacco Products Than Any Other City in the World.

Following are extracts from an ad- dress delivered by Col. A. D. Watts, collector of internal revenue for the Fifth district of North Carolina, ct a smoker given by the Twin City club, Winston-Salem, Feb. 4th, 1916:
 Some Comparisons.
 Winston Salem Is supplying one fourth of all the chewing and smoking tobacco consumed in the United States, besides exporting vast quantities to foreign lands. This statement Is taken from the report of the commissioner of internal revenue for the first quarter of the present fiscal year and from pr1- vate advices from Washington, as to the second quarter, which ended Dec. 31st last.
 Your city is making one-seventh of all tobacco products-chewing and smoking tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and Bnuff-Inanufactured in the United States. Your manufacturers are pay Ing on an average about $37, ,000 a day revenue taxes to the government and the amount is increasing from month building, much the handsomest in the state, was completed last July at a cost of $250,000, your newspapers made the statement that the taxes paid in your city to Uncle Sam for the first eight days of it's occupancy would pay 4OI It, NoAIISC CCpLCIIibCl u IlcS lSlACI only a fraction over seven average days collections here to equal it's cost So far this week MT. Cranford has taken in s206, ,428.50. I predict that be- fore 1916 shall have ended your aver age weekly payments to the govern ment on tobacco will more than pay for this magnificent building, leaving the collections for the other 51 weeks as clear profit to the government
 Tohaeeo Shjnr,ap4e
 ''Winston-Salem is shipping On al average each week day to all parts O this country and to foreign lands a least $150,000 of tobacco products.
 Tn conclusion, Winston-Salem man GIfactures more tobacco, all tobacct products are taken into this statement than any other city on earth, little O. big. Industrially, she is easily first il North Carolina, population considered first in America and, I believe, first il the world; socially. a never failing de light to her friends"

POETRY
THE BROTHERHOOD HOUR.

 The motherhood Of womanhood Is vir-
 tue whole and true The matron-mind IS master-mind,
 whichever way we view, For life is all a family, and man Is
 still a child, Whom mother-wit defends at last from
 passion rank and wild. What's wisdom in the sagest man but
 patient mother-loveZ The mightiest are the merciful. in this
 life or above Men hope they draw their words from
 God to strengthen each the other, From God mayhap they something get,
 but mostly is it-mother. What may the mightiest monarch do
 but lace with love his power. And kindly plan for each and all the
 goodness Of the hour The state is but his family. his aim,
 his pride, his care; To rule he learns from motherhood and
 learns it unaware IF bloody battles led to good, and pas
 sion could endure. Then might the glory born of war be something safe and sure. But it's a shame The nursing and the mothering Of useful ends and These give to manhood all the good. though multiplied the names What's Christ but motherhood in man2 The child upon his knee Is far the finest picture Tn ms chlloiess history.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Six Act Vaudeville Show and Para
 mount Pictures Today.

What promises to be the biggest and best vaudeville programme ever seen in this city is the six act vaudeville bill booked for the Auditorium for the first three days of this week and pre- Sented by the Linton Brothers, pro- ducers of high class vaudeville attrac- tions. The show will be headed by Brlndamour, the world famous hand cuff king and Jail breaker. Brinda1nour also presents many wonderful illusions in his stage performance. Next on the programme will come the Althea Twins a very clever singing and dancing act, presented by two very pretty girls. The Three Holmen Brothers will also be with this extraordinary show and will introduce a wonderful comedy horizon tai bar performance. Miss Anita Ar liss, prima donna, will be heard in sey- eral song selections, and Joe King will be seen in his comedy Juggling act Last, but by no means least, will come T. w. Goodwin & company of three people in a very funny comedy play let. On the whole the show will be the biggest ever seen at this house and there will be no raise in prices and the usual three shows daily will be given, starting matinee 2.30, evening at z and g o'clock.
 On the picture programme will be the Paramount five reel feature Blanche Ring in The Yankee Girl
 
 appearance some seasons ago in a 1 limitation of a Lew Fields burlesoue | of William Vaughan Moods The Great l Divide under the name of The Great 1 Decide, which was a. feature in the biz i New York musical review, About Town ! The burletta had a distinguished cast in addition to Blanche Ring there be. ing Lew Fields, the late Pete Dailey Edna Wallace Hopper, now a wal nurse in France, Lawrence Grossmitf and George Beban. Vernon Castle played a small part. Blanche Ring: work in Margaret Anglins role was st impressive that many took 1t seriousl, and declared she was Margaret Angli1 herself. The expert manner in whicl | Miss Ring handles the fine comedy il The Yankee Girl, especially in the lov, scenes with Forrest Stanley and in tn. | champagne scene with Herbert Stand ing, makes her early success in film easy to understand.
