city regarding the death from infan-
tile paralysis of little Junior, infant

Why not carry the cheap idea far

The fact that cheap glasses poorly
adjusted are dangerous to sight as

believed by intelligent people.
That Prof. Mayne Arnold who has
adjusted glasses 50 years this month
accommodating theory and experience,
during all that time and is the most
reliable and successful glass filter in
Iowa, is not hard to believe. In fact
can be proven by thousands.
Mayne Arnold's glasses are superior

of glasses has gone up,ao might say
is soaring in the clouds, Arnold has
