Amazing Po,Der of Bon-Opfo
 To Make Weak yes Strong Doctor Says # Strengthens Eyesight 50 per cent in One
 Weeks Time in Many Instances

able 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 descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by the use of this prescription at home. Go to any active drug store and get bottle of Bon Opto tablets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in fourth of glass of water and let it 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 inflammation and redness will quickly disappear. If your eyes bother you even little 1t is your duty to take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have saved their sight if they had cared for their eyes in time.
 Note: Another prominent Physician to whom the above article was submitted, said: "Yes
 the Bon-Opto prescription is truly wonderful eye remedy. Its constituent ingredients are we'll known to eminent eye specialists and widely prescribed by them. l have used 1t very sue eyes were strained through overwork or msf1t glasses. I can highly recommend it in case of weak. watery. aching. smarting. itching. burn
 ing eyes. red lids. blurred vision or for eyes in
 wind. It is one of the very few preparations feel should be kept on hand for regular use in almost every family" Bon-Opto, referred to above, Is not patent medicine or secret remedy. It is an ethical preparation, the for mula being printed on the package. The man 50 per cent in one weeks time in many instances or refund the money. It can be obtained from any good druggist and is sold in this city by Golfers Drug Store and other druggists.

A Free Prescription You Can Have
 Filled and Use at Home

Victims of eye strain and other eye weaknesses and those who wear glasses, will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there is real hope and help for them Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by thls remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man says, after using it: T was almost blind. Could not see to read at all. Now I can read every thing without my glasses, and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me-" A lady who used it says "The atmos- phere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything seems clear can read even fine print without glasses" Another who used it says: Il was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, tired eyes, which induced fierce headaches I have worn glasses for several years, both for distance and work. and without them l could not read my own name on an envelope or the type writing on the machine before me. I can do both now and have discarded my long distance glasses altogether. I can count the futtering leaves on the trees across the street now, which for several years have looked like dim green blur to me l cannot express my joy at what it has done for me-"
 It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in reason

back in the heads of prospective buyers. If such information cannot be found there the writer of this letter will gladly fur nish the names of a half dozen or more reputable houses which are now solicit ing subscriptions to $50 and $1o0 liberty bonds. Here, for example, Is a circular just received from a banking firm which specializes in $100 bonds:
 I've take pleasure in handing you here with Gnclosure) complete descriptive matter of the United States government 30-year 31a per cent liberty loan of 1917.
 For purchase on our small payment plan an initial payment of at least Slo will be accepted at any time; the balance to be paid within a year from the date of first payment, in subsequent payments of any amount convenient to the pur- chase, providing a payment is made at least every three months. Interest will be allowed on the payments from the date they are made at the rate of S1a per cent, and such adjustments, together with that of the accrued interest on the bond, will be made at the time of final payment.
 That certainly makes easy a purchase of liberty bond. Every good Amer- can should own one at least, whether the denomina ton is $50, $100, $S)0 or $1OOo. In case s100 bond is purchased, regular monthly payments can be arranged so that the bond will be paid for in full within a year by turning in only $9S the balance being offset by accrued interest. The bonds soon will be listed on the stock exchange and hence can be con- verted into cash promptly by simply plac- ing a selling order with any bank or stock exchange firm throughout the coun- try. k.

SOMEONE MISTAKE. CAUSE OF APATHY 10 THE LIBERTY LOAN Word Sent Out That the Loan Had Been Over
 subscribed
SMALL SUBSCRIBERS
 V ARE ONES WANTED
The Government Is Impressing Upon Everyone the Importance of Doing His Part in Con-
 duct of War

New York; May 19-(Special.) )-Through ury department nearly two weeks ago, in allowing Washington correspondents to send out stories to the effect that the S2000,000 liberty loan already had or short ly would be oversubscribed, the country a whole is taking little or no interest in the war bonds.
 So far the everyday American has been content to read in his paper that John D. Rockefeller had subscribed to $5,000,000 of the liberty bonds; or that the Union and Southern Pacific had each taken 100000, or that the United States Steel Corporation had agreed to purchase s25, ,000,000. "Oh, I haven't time to stand In line. Let Wall street take the liberty ioan," has been the comforting thought with which the whole subject has been dismissed. That is shown plainly by the subscription lists; applications for $50 and e100 bonds are conspicuous for their ab- sence. Without a flood of buying orders from now until the list is closed June 15 the liberty loan will be a failure. Wall street cannot buy 5000, 900, 900 of the bonds or anything like that amount. It is up to Tom, Dick and Harry in every city and town in the United States to get behind the 31s per cent government war loan with a subscription; now, today
 As far as safety of principal is con- cerned, Frank A. Vanderip, president of the National City bank, who Is widely recognized as a bond expert, went on rec ord this week as saying there never has been a stronger form of investment of fer | to any people, In the matter of
 return, the yield is only 31a per cS That, it must be admitted is small

FOOD PROPOSITION SERIOUS


 So this year of world wide, war finds us face to face with a food proposition never dreamed of before It is a case of feed ourselves this year or so hungry President Wilson has warned the south in his proclamation that it must feed itself; that the government was going to feed the armies of the allies in Eu- rope that the south could serve it's coun- try best with bumper crop of both foodstuff and feedstuff So it's up to us to do so. And judging from the outlook we are making a desperate effort to do our best But many of our farmers have neither food for themselves nor food for their stock with which to make a crop. If you know of such one, lend a helping hand Make this sacrifice as part of your bit in the game of war
 Being in charge of the Weekly Age Herald the farm paper, l get numerous appeals for aid, or for information as to where loans of s100 could be made to feed my family and stock until a crop can be made
 Some of these letters are pitiful, telling of the weakened condition of stock, made so through the hig price of feed. Many complain that their bankers have tight ened on lending money; that they will no longer carry them from year to year since the old staple, cotton. has gone to the bad on account of the weevil. It is serious state of affairs-a disaster. Tan any of The Age Herald readers sug- eest a quick relief? If they can I will nut the scheme into 45,000 farm homes In next weeks issue.
